As another poster noted: Go to South America and say you are American. They will say "Well, I'm American too. South American." They in fact would call you "United Statians".
Point is: You chose a totally egocentric name for your country. You are not the only country in America, you know? So Americans is already taken. Sorry. Choose something else, or accept "United Statians". Because even if it sounds very stupid, that is what you chose. So be angry at yourselves, not us.
By the way: Why don't you simply split into two countries. You know, with two completely different philosophies in your country, this would make everyone happy. You could still collaborate where you agree on things. And you could give the two new countries better names.:)
...in many games, etering "iddqd" did result in a self-kill.
Oh, and by the way, does anyone else remember "idspispopd"? It is stuck in my head since back then, and despite the fact, that in Doom 2, it was "idclip"...
You are watching too many movies. Gasoline does not blow up. Ever. Try this: Put a strip of cloth inside the tank, with one end in the gasoline, and the other outside the car. Let it soak full. Now light the cloth. It starts to burn like a candle. No rush of fire into the tank. No explosion. Nothing special.
If you want Linux to gain acceptance, you need to stop with the hyperbole and start accepting the truth. The truth is:
Oh god, I love people stating "TEH ABSOLUTE TRUTHORZ". Here it comes...
- There is no common way to install and remove software.
Yeah, right. What are you smoking? Windows does not even have a package manager! So if this statement is true for anything, than it is for Windows.
- There is no stable base to write drivers (thus no hardware support)
Relevant to the end users how?? The end user either selects the driver in the package manager, like any other software, or it is already autodetected by the kernel, which is the case >90% of time. On Windows, there is no way a freshly installed OS can already use all hardware and hardware features. Most lusers buy the system with everything already installed. So your argument is a strawman argument anyway.
- There are too many distros with too many proprietary ways of doing things. Too many proprietary repositories, too many proprietary package systems, to many proprietary filesystem layouts.
Well, that kinda comes with freedom, and not having a monopoly! So you are in fact complaining "But I want my monopoly trap!". Sorry. This is an exception, not the normal case. If Microsoft did not have a monopoly, there would be many many more variants of OSes. And again, it is irrelevant. Because the default luser gets, whatever comes preinstalled with his computer. Which will usually be Ubuntu. Or he switches to Ubuntu later because a friend recommended it.
- Gimp is *not* Photoshop. Sorry. I know I mentioned this, but I'll repeat it again. You insult people who actually use Photoshop by making this claim.
What claim? The claim that he said the exact opposite of by stating himself, that Gimp is not Photoshop! Are you actually drunk? Or a troll? Sorry, I do not want to insult you, but that is how your "arguments" look like. I don't know if I should laugh, or if you really think you are making serious arguments.
Ok. Haha. Yeah. I completely fell for your trolling. Well done. But I guess, I'm not the only one who fell for it. And what you said is so close to real arguments used by lazu idiot lusers and pseudo-experts, that I could not tell the difference. So this post is really for all those people out there...
I know that you are trying to be funny. But how is this suddenly right, just because they are cops? They are humans too. Sure, if you have the power, it's easy to misuse it. But at least we should be morally above this.
Of course if a cop becomes a bad cop, I'm for instant tazing too. (Instant, because this helps strengthen the associatio.n) But as little as possible. Just enough so they learn not to do it again.
Oh, btw. You do not need to decrypt their network data at all. You just need to build two receivers for the correct frequency, mount them on the front and on the back of your car, and then triangulate the signal with your laptop or something like that. If you know the frequency, it should only be a matter of having some time and money.
So? You just need to connect to the police server, over a grid of sattelites, trough a russian vpn tunnel, and get the password for the server via social engineering... It's almost too easy, Wayne!
Ask any single one person, if they mind everything they say on a phone being analyzed to find even the slightest thing that one could interpret in a weird way to get them into jail. Maybe add the quote of cardinal Richelieu: "If one would give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest man, I would find something in them to have him hanged."
I bet that not a single one would not give a shit.
I know. I use btjunkey.org, which basically indexes priatebay, mininova and tons of other trackers. But it's very rare that I find a something good. Usually i try to find at least AC3 5.1 and x264. But then the resolution is a bit weak, or they are in AVI and I have to re-package, and so on. Rarely do I find something that I am completely happy with. The hardest thing is, to get the own language audio (German here) in 5.1.
Luckily, mkvmerge and just pulling more than one version solved many problems for me. I just merge the best of them together. It's really quick too.
Well, then they should put a price tag on it. You know, something like PayPal. Duh....
Wait, now I get their logic! Yay. 1. I'm going to go downtown and give away my work. 2. And then I will sue everyone who takes it and/or gives it to anyone else. 3.... 4. Profit!
Thai culture is respectful, organized, civilized and actually facilitates positive social interactions. American culture by comparison is narcissistic, wasteful, artificial and contributes nothing to the social experience other than fomenting greed and conflict.
So you are saying that you did not get laid in the USA, without paying for it or raping someone, and therefore had to travel to Thailand to get yourself a 12 year old "bride" there?;)
Sorry, had to... that was too easy. ^^
Oh, and by the way: About the "artificial" thing... I say the chance that your bride is really a guy, is 50/50. ^^
Unfortunately, most encoders (the people, not the programs) out there seem to be idiots. Most of the time, you still get XviD with MP3, in a AVI container. No chapters, problems with the aspect ratio (because many encoders cut off some pixels on the border, for optimization reasons), and most of all, a totally shitty quality.
Nowadays, I expect my videos to be in this format: - 700-1400 MB size - Matroska container - H.264 encoded video - AC3 5.1 Dolby Digital or better audio - no visible quality difference from the original DVD, even for experts - includes chapters and other metadata. If possible, there should also be - Two audio streams. one in my language, one in the original language - Subtitles for the original language included in the container. - Cover and infos included in the metadata.
If the original medium exists in a HD format, I want that quality too (of course with a bigger file size).
No reason to own a home cinema, when you watch YouTube videos on it. ^^

3. Fried eggs with ketchup and fried toast
Hey, you forgot to fry the ketchup and to add a truck load of sugar to it.

OBLIGATORY NONSENSICAL STATEMENT INVOLVING PLANKTON
"Filter error: Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING." -- No shit?
Dude!
NOT... Funny!
How about when they come to hang you, I will joke about your clothes, and how you deserve to be hung for wearing them, too?
You are watching too many movies. Gasoline does not blow up. Ever.

It starts to burn like a candle. No rush of fire into the tank. No explosion. Nothing special.
Imagine you being full of shit. Yikes!
Whoops, the last quote should be "- Ponies", but it quoted the answer to that. I guess i forgot a "/" in the closing tag or something...

You mean "go dumb down and stop having freedoms"? Because that is the reason I'm preferring Gentoo. Got any problem with that?
Just curious. What do you call a real OS? Something more primitive, like an old UNIX? Or something more dumbed down, like Ubuntu, Mac or even Windows?
Now get off my lawn!
Why exactly can't you play them? flash 10 works fine here. 64 bit browser and everything...

Well, you only need 5 of them to cover the whole 24 hours, if they reload in less than 19 hours.
If not... you still got 395 others of them.
I know that you are trying to be funny. But how is this suddenly right, just because they are cops? They are humans too. Sure, if you have the power, it's easy to misuse it. But at least we should be morally above this.

This goes both ways. :) :)
Triangulate the signal (if you know the frequency), and you know where to flee.
Oh, btw. You do not need to decrypt their network data at all. You just need to build two receivers for the correct frequency, mount them on the front and on the back of your car, and then triangulate the signal with your laptop or something like that. If you know the frequency, it should only be a matter of having some time and money.
Or am I missing something?
So? You just need to connect to the police server, over a grid of sattelites, trough a russian vpn tunnel, and get the password for the server via social engineering... It's almost too easy, Wayne!
Nah. More like "Syndicate: Surveillance". Complete with an advanced version of the persuadotron.
Depends on how you ask.
Ask any single one person, if they mind everything they say on a phone being analyzed to find even the slightest thing that one could interpret in a weird way to get them into jail.

I'll be rich!
As if the Australian government itself would not already send a copy of everything to their great great north-American master nation... ^^
