You are missing an apostrophe in the "I'm" that should go before "Not sure how to break this...". Grammar is about more than apostrophes:) </Grammar nazi >
So, since MS is bad, and patent system is hurting MS, then patent system is good, right? But patent system is bad, so MS is good? Damn cognitive disonance always gives me an ice cream headache...
Of course, what I really want is the facial animation of HL2 with the shadows and detail of Doom 3 with Halo's battle sequences but put in the setting of Deus Ex...
Just walk outside. Oh, you mentioned a Deus Ex setting... Give the DMCA and Bush a couple more years. And then walk outside.
A not-so-minor nitpick. Central America is a part of the continent, from Guatemala and Belice to Panama. You probably meant Central USA. Remember, the country is the United States. America is the continent.
Except, in this case, the country is Canada, and its official languages are both French and English. Quebec has decided to promote one over the other. However, any Canadian should have the right to speak only English. To follow your analogy, this would be like New Mexico deciding that you can't go to an English school, but to a Spanish one.
(and i don't mean "Slashdot reader mode" fury. i mean "Quake 3 mayhem mode" fury).
Dou you mean I should click furiously in my mouse button while I bunny-hop around them and scream "You suck, lam4r"? Oh, well. It's still better that the "Slashdot reader mode fury", where you simply "(-1, Troll)" them.
How is that redundant? Or that comment insightful? Sounds more like you didn't really understand what he was saying. Let's say, an ARM processor consumes x Watts. Others consume y Watts. Now, a significant percent of the consumed energy will be dissipated as heat. In the case of others, it would be in the order of (0.4 y) to (0.5 y) (I'm being conservative). What the statement says, is that x (0.4 y). Which, of course, means x y.
I just don't want any more of this junk on Slashdot.
Why didn't you say so? We won't post any more of it. Please, let us know exactly what you'd like to see. Because, you see, we care sooooo much about what you want. After all, you are the center of the universe, dear. Love, The Management
and this is not the standard "this will help everyone see how flawed the system is". No, this is actually good. Why? Because the technology to do what this man has patented is way in the future. Way, way in the future. I'm talking 30, maybe 50 years here. And the patente will expire, safely, in 17 years. See where I'm going? By the time scientists are actually capable of working on an ethical A.I., the concept will have safely and unarguably fallen into the public domain. I don't think that's what this moron intended, but that's what's gonna happen.

I expect a beowulf cluster of In Soviet Russia jokes any minute now...

Trink Guarino, Director of IBM Media Relations
Trink Guarino? They gotta be pulling our legs. What is he, Alotta Fagina's husband?
It'd tell M$ and everyone else that f-ing with Linux is a dangerous proposition, because the community will unite and topple all who oppose us...
And pay 101 million dollars, cash, to whoever tries to blackmail us.
I don't know, man, that doesn't sound like a good message to send out...

I was going to reply, but then I remembered I don't reply to Anonymous Cowards.
Wait.
Shit.
Funny grammar you use. Understand I not.

Not to flame, but again, it takes about 2 seconds to make a search for "URThere PDA" .

No prob. I can spare the 10 bucks. Please, let us know. ;)

Wow... give me a meter to think about all that.
Anyways, I can distill my point down to...
That's where you should have started...

OpenBSD hasn't had a vulnerability disclosed in months now
Neither has AmigaOS, ProDOS or DR-DOS.
Really, you should listen to the trolls more often.

Sound to me like your 12-step plan is flawed...
Guess we're at the "fight" part. Wake me up when it's over.
Yep, that's the attitude. You all know that Gandhi slept through the Indian independence movement, right?

I'd assume it'll strike even more fear in the hearts of American taxpayers...
OTOH, can you wait to see the headlines?
"Ronald Reagan sunk"
"Ronald Reagan gets retrofitted".
"18,000 sailors getting ready to enter Ronald Reagan"

But think about it. Check your examples.
Wouldn't it be great if it did?
I bow before the master :)
