Yes, we should have one provider. A "monopoly." After we finish on the phones and let Verizon Wireless, since they are biggest, dictate pricing nationwide and quash competition, we will let Microsoft dictate all software for the US.
I don't see any problems with this, do you?
Get TDMA+AMPS if you want to make a call anywhere. Get CDMA+AMPS for the same reason.
How fucking hard is that? Don't get some shitty free phone that's GSM or CDMA only.
Not just babies. Entire fucking villages! The DMCA will be, according to some extremely fucking well-placed sources, classified as a weapon of mass destruction. Anyone carrying documents invoking it, or viewing PDF files related to it across international borders will be circumsized and anally raped, as they are Enemies of the State.
You heard it here first. I scooped that Drudge Motherfucker too.
Testing? Are we talking about the same fucking rocket? There was a whole shitload of expensive shit on that fucker. The thing shot shredded pieces of burning crap all over the place, and destroyed not one, but two fucking satellites. I guess if the test was Do Satellites Explode with the Same Fire of a Thousand Suns as a Rocket, then I'd say we can stamp this one Grade A.
Progress? More shit is blowing up now than in the past. They've not learned a thing. Bad coding was to blame, its figured. Did someone lackey intern, with a savage fucking hangover still reeking from last nights bender, wake up with a red beer code this stuff?
Oh My God! Sign me up for the Bitch About DRM committee. I need to be enraged. Where do I express my discontent?
"Scared?" What the fuck is your problem? There's a lot more to be 'scared' about than some fucking CDs you have to color on with a magic marker. Go stand in traffic for a while, then see if DRM is first and foremost on your mind.
Well, they said "you crossed the fucking line, assholes." That's how they drew the line. If you think the law is somehow magically logical and even-tempered, What the fuck, are you new here? The law is an ambigious fucking hodgepodge of shit faced nukkas who have wild interpretations of existing statue. Consistency is a fucking joke.
I've had horrible luck with IDE drives -- even when I thought I was getting good ones. That whole "Nobody got fired for buying IBM" was really stretched when IBM came back and warned people about their lower-end, and extremely popular, IDE stuff.
You make an excellent point. Rotate the drives enough to mitigate any chances of shit breaking, and have some N+1 redundancy built in. I like N+1. It sounds hip.
Scenario: I'm out boating. I decide to take a few tons of heavy metals, computer components, batteries, and corrosion resistant materials and just toss the fucking loot into the ocean.
Before doing this, I make a press release entitled: LISTEN HERE HIZZOS! I AM DUMPING ILLEGAL SHIT INTO THE OCEAN!
Why don't space companies have to clean up after their fucking messes? I want to throw shit into the ocean too! Look at the trouble that Carnival got into about dumping trash. This isn't trash too? Granted, it's not diseases feces and medical waste along with food, but I cannot imagine the ocean really needs more garbage tossed into it.
My gambling addict former boss got married in Vegas. He had an 11th grade education, married a junkie whore, and then came home and continued gambling until she stole his shit and kicked him out.
So, Vegas is really a classy fucking place to get married.
If you have to ask, then my guess is that using cheap fucking flea market IDE drives in lieu of some truly Archival storage will fuck you in the end. IDE drives are shitty. Newer ones are even shittier. A hard disk isn't meant to last 10 years, and you'd be a fucking loon to think it would.
Hell, unless it's some ultra common file type, like text, who the fuck says you'll be even able to open it? That shit will be packed tight in the most archival storage, (not on ghetto shit IDE) but what the fuck good will it be? Look in the non-archival slashdot archives for the archival storage story about the BBC -- their storage medium outlasted the computer they'd designed for it.
Granted, that's stupid bullshit thinking on the part of the BBC, but don't fall in their footsteps. Get tapes. Good tapes. Lots of them. And a valut.
I'll tell you why you've not heard discussion about this before: it's a Bad Fucking Idea.
You are a dumb motherfucker. To wit, extremely fucking gauche assclown. Not only do you piss an moan, you get upset like a little bitch. What kind of stupid cocksucker picks a South Park name, and can't handle any reference to South Park: apparently, you.
You're calling me a sellout? You know how hard it is to swear ALL THE FUCKING TIME? It's not easy. Plus, it the profane thinking stays with you for hours, making every conversation, every word tinged with great profanity. It's not pleasant to be in a meeting and tossing around the term cocksucker.
Here's the deal: a switch from IRIX to Linux doesn't mean a fucking thing. They've switched from one variant of Unix to another. What was gained in the end? A net gain overall for Unix of not a fucking thing. Zero.
If they switched from Windows- or Mac-based machines, then this would be legit. Other than that it's meaningless in the sense of Linux is Taking Over.
That's all fine and great that it makes for a good story, but if the point is to claim that somehow people are realizing the benefits of Unix-derived operating systems, then it means squat.
The fucker was really cheap. Sub $100. It's got a few flaws, but you don't pay the Ass Rape premium on the SiS cards as you do on nVidia cards. I'm getting about 6800 in 3DMark2001. Bang for buck the thing is pretty good.
Too bad he comes across as an arrogant fool who wouldn't know which part of his body goes on the toilet. If anything, I don't *want* to be associated with him in any fashion.
"I'm a shitter. Not a porcelain user. I like to poop. When I feel like pooping, I want to just poop. In the street. At a Chinese restaurant. In my trousers.
"With my old low-flow toilet, I had to be so crazy watchful of my bowel movements. The turkish G12 toilet from Pfitzer lets me stand an pinch one off, if I want. That's what pooping is about. Not porcelain, or barriers to my poopoing. I can shit right on the floor if I want. It's just a hole.
"My name is Yo-Yo Ma, and I eat a lot of bulk fiber."
Comparing a server OS (in 1981) and workstation OS to something written for puny, and comparatively inexpensive desktop machines for consumer use is soentirely bogus that it's a shame that I have to point this out.
That's not valid. And reread it: the word "NEARLY" appears in the original, you've neglected to mention that. It was not an absolute statement for the very purpose of placating the frothing legions of fools. Unix, in the manner which you use it, is not a cohesive operating system, but rather a generic term used to describe operating systems with UNIX (tm) as their base.
DOS wasn't that bad of an OS. That's no bullshit. It has its high points, and has been around *much* longer, and been magnitudes more popular than nearly everything else that rose to compete with it.
Incorporation or LLC formation has the benefit of shielding the founders and employees from personal liability from debt. Form a legit corporation, go bankrupt, and you still keep your personal house, car, etc... but business assets are gone, like in this case.
It's not foolproof, as clever legal twats can find ways to pierce the corporate veil and collect personal assets for repayment of creditors; but in most cases true corporations that have a board of directors, keep acceptable records and the like generally have only the business assets repoed.

I'm okay with that. Is asshole a + or - moderation?
Pay whomever cleans it up.

Perhaps all you budding Perry Mason motherfuckers need to realize something: what if this schlep rock was really pulling a meta hoax?
Agreed. And I do like those ATI cards.

They ought to spend a little less on shitty fucking censorware and domain hacks and a bit more on website design.
