Are you fucking nuts? You're equating the best preserved record of human fucking history in the Western World to a FUCKING NETWORK OPERATIONS CENTER? WHAT THE FUCK, CHUCK?
You're goddamn fucking right it isn't the fucking Louvre or the Tower of London. Not even close. In fact, the shit I just took 30 minutes ago is closer to the Louvre than some fucking NOC.
Physical objects can have emotional significance? Jesus Christ in a fucking Jetta! You might be on to something. I think I heard one or two people mention something about some Buddhist statues destroyed last year in Afghanistan. But until you mention it, I never would have guessed at the connection.
Don't claim, with your nose hung high, that Oh We're Nerds, and You Just Don't Understand Our World. Fuck that bullshit. It's not as significant of an event as was made out to be.
Good god man. I'm a fucking English major, and the answer seems clear as fucking day to me.
Just how the FUCK is the sound going to get into the microphone, be processed, leave the speakers, and enter your ears FASTER than the noisy shit you want to cancel out?
Does the phrase "The shortest distance between two points is a straight fucking line" ring a bell? While we're out shopping for Impossible to Make Shit, let me know if you locate some "Noise Friction" gel that can be applied to one's hair, reducing the speed of sound.
I'm still fucking floored. Are you sure you weren't used as the model for the retarded boss sloth in Dilbert?
Just to clear yourself of any liability, write the following letter to the former developer, and post a copy publically on the project page.
Dear [open source guy who abandoned a project]:
I've looked with great interest at [project]. The sourceforge page shows that the project activity is nearly zero, and the last software release was done almost three years ago.
It seems like such a waste to have the project stagnate, so I wanted to take this opportunity to pass along a few comments. Namely, I want to inform you that I will be resuming development of this fantastic application. You've done a fine job, and it will be a great honor to continue in your footsteps. I also have a few other things, I feel you should know.
I don't know how to put this delicately, but: YOU LAZY FUCK, YOUR SHIT IS MY SHIT NOW. It's TOO FUCKING BAD you can't finish a single fucking thing that you started, you ass jockey sloth. NEXT TIME, WHY DON'T YOU MAN THE FUCK UP. Take a little responsiblity for ONCE IN YOUR LIFE YOU WORTHLESS SACK OF PUBES.
LAZY FUCKS like you probably don't even finish taking a shit. WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM? YOU DISAPPEAR LIKE SOME FUCKING FBI SUPA DOUBLE TOP SECRET AGENT. You are a failed open source developer. WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU RUNNING FROM? The honest answer, as a failed open source developer, is your fucking shame!
Please feel free to send me any comments or advice. I look forward to hearing from you.
Outgoing file transfers affect the ability of all the motherfuckers on a given segment to experience reliable cable internet connections. Significant uploading has a serious affect on line quality and degrades the signal of the rest of your pissant neighbors. Hence, in one respect, the fucking titbag cable companies don't want complaints, but on the other I assure you that your assessment is correct: they want to oversell. And honestly, what the fuck is wrong with that? An exceedingly small percentage of motherfuckers uses and exceedingly large chunk of bandwidth. But everyone else just pisses around with a few emails here and there, and perhaps some queerass clipart search on Google. That's it.
And regarding this supposed DRM developer in the story: is the world *not* a better place with one less DRM developer out fucking shit up? I say bad deal for him, but good for those of us who think intellectual property is theft.
Ever heard of Mark Twain, aka Samuel Clements? Magically, he managed to keep a copyright on his shit. Or how about Lewis Carroll, aka. Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson?
If you cared so much about fucking copyright, you'd do it with your real name. You want all the credit without a shred of responsibility. Bullshit. Man the fuck up. If it's not against whatever assraping contract you signed, you've got nothing stopping you except a weak constitution.
Was indeed the aforementioned SX-64. To call these fuckers portable is like calling a grand piano pocked sized. They were most certianly not too fucking portable. However, it was a nice unit for blasting some shit up on Fort Apocalypse or zipping around in the original Test Drive.
They were actually a nice fucking unit. All contained, keyboard and all. Unlike laptops the keyboard seperated from the face meaning that an ergonomic desk, like anyone gave a shit about that shit back then, was a lot easier.
I never did anything but play games on the thing, and now I'm kind of curious what the fuck happened to them.
Putting a PIII in one isn't exactly a kosher mod, in the PMF book of mods. There is an inherent goodness in this absofuckinglutely slow C64 processors of the day.
It's a pity that the fuckers are outrageously overpriced on Ebay. Adjusted for inflation, I'm thinking that the current assraping prices are more than the few hundred that was charged back in the first Regan administration.
Admitted? What the fuck? That makes it sound like they tried to hide the fact. Fact is, they include the California Board of Regents copyright shit when applicable. Reading over the changelog for one of the service packs the other day, I noticed the thing, in teensy fucking print buried at the bottom mind you, of the presence of BSD code.
While they don't necessarily advertise the fact that it isn't homegrown, it's just as well. A shitload of unix-like OSs, including the obscure 'linux' use it, so why fuck around and create some crappy shit when what's there is kosher?
Great, so rather than spend a shitload of money on some hardware solution, why not just pack all one's shit up and move to some foreign fucking country. What a viable and clever solution. You know, when I got fucking livid because there's no realiable cellular service here, my *first* thought was, "Why don't I move to fucking Finland, where cellular service is fantastic and mature?"
After all, I'm sure that moving to a country where a person has no job, knows no language, no culture, has no contacts, and no life will all pay out in the end.
What the fuck?
That's great that Japan has some nifty fucking toys. Here's the thing: damn near every time someone complains about shit being gypsy rigged in their area, someone else says that "Oh, jeez, in elbonia the shit flows like fucking milk and honey. Those elbonians are some smart motherfuckers! We should mimick them!" But I don't think installing a nationwide wireless network is the solution to giving ONE FUCKING MAC USER internet.
Cite a fucking source for this, and you might sound convincing. Otherwise, it's just hearsay and rumor, like 99% of the 'facts' on Slashdot. Not that I have the smallest fucking problem, but I'd like to see some proof.
Exactly. I was quite fucking floored after the claim that ATI was 'shrouded in secrecy." They let a bunch of fucking people tour their facility. How the FUCK is this shit fucking shrouded?! Sounds pretty fucking open to me. Sounds like the fucking opposite of shrouded.
The picture thing I can understand. Maybe the intern has some saucy shit up on the screen and didn't read the motherfucking memo close enough to note that some fucking strangers were walking around the place ready to snap a billion digi cam photos.
Fucking christ on a moped: who give a fuck what the nVidia server farm looks like? I don't recall buying a video card based upon the size and configuration of some fucking SERVERS.
Unfortunately, just because they're NOT doing something doesn't mean your FP games are beneficial. Ex: while publically masturbating (polishing the bishop) in a public place, the homeless people are NOT drinking, NOT doing drugs, and they are using their minds.
And, unless they heist a titty mag, they are using their imaginations instead of staring at a CRT being told what the fuck to think.
Sorry, your logic isn't quite fucking tip top.
Here's how you test: give them some astroglide or chapstick, and send them to the 25cent show down the block and watch them jerk off. If they sip a beer, smoke some ganja, then test your other outrageous idea.
You've never read one of the fuckings things. Only some dipshit newbie photog working for much less than he's worth would *not* include some smallprint shit that gave the customer complete access to the negs and total reprint capabilities. That's not to say that such a thing didn't occur here as all the story is about is one guy bitching how the 'source' wasn't available, when really it was -- for a price that he was too cheap to pay.
Photos have been and for a while will be sold based upon the reprint intentions of the customer. A wise photog would charge some mook at Time a hell of a lot more for a photo than the local weekly community paper. Not only does Time have a billion times what the crappy local has, but they also will run several million copies of the photo versus perhaps a few thousand.
Oh, the OpenSource cries, information wants to be free. Great. Do it yourself at no cost and you'll get what you paid for.
The point of this all is that the photog *has* to charge more because people, deep down, are a bunch of mooching, sponging fucks. I've had people steal *my* photos. Rich people. They don't give a fuck. They'd never steal a bike because that's tangible and that'd be WRONG. But they think nothing about stealing an artistic creation. The only way to ensure that people don't steal and pilfer every fucking photo they get their hands on is to make it impossible to do so. For the same reason banks have safes, a photog has a contract and keeps the negatives.
Not too fucking Phantom if they have a Public Relations office doing the publicity, hitting the front page of Slashdot and being seen by tens of thousands. We're CODE ORANGE folks!
You are indeed on sassy motherfucker -- and spot on. That's what this guy needs, you're correct. And this isn't a "Let's do it on Linux!!!!!!" bullshit solution. This is a fucking GIS issue. What the fucking database has to do with it is a mystery. Great, you want to limit yourself to one OS, one scripting language, and on DB, whatever. Fucking stupid if you ask me, but whatever.
GRASS is a linux GIS program, but it won't do what he want easily, if at all. He needs ArcInfo with Spatial Analyist / ArcGrid. It runs on HP-UX, Solaris, Win2k, and a few others.
That's a stupid fucking reason to *not* use a program -- just because there's 'an overabundance'. Well, they fucking work and if you want to get your shit done, use what works, not what's hip.
Really? You can use Win2k to back up your Linux drives? How does that work?
There's a little daemon called 'Samba.' It's fairly obscure, and doesn't have many users, but I will explain how it works: one can create SMB shares available to Windows clients, and then use the rather trivial Win2k backup util.
You might find mention of 'samba' in the bowels of Google somewhere, but I don't think anyone still uses it.
It's ok to use easy stuff for backups, just as users of automatic transmissions aren't pussies or limp wristed buffoons for picking something simple and automated.
Fuck yes! Anyone with knowledge or education is obviously not to be trusted. They laughed at me in the 70s when I was all about the Khmer Rouge -- they had a nice idea of putting a stop to all those educated assholes who can interpret the law and do things that nobody else thought of.
You sir, are a smart motherfucker. By keeping attorneys as far from the law as possible, we will make the world a better place. Just think: if nobody knows the law, nobody can do anything with it.

Yes, Windows does indeed support IPv6. The document you may be referring to is perhaps this bizzo for a patch for 2k.

Funny that the author's name is Kapor. Rhymes quite fucking nicely with Vapor. As in vaporware.
Probably the fucking webinizers -- those dirty fornicators who take content and webify it.
that reminds me of those fucking great cdw commercials, "Uh, I think I broke the Internet" the guy says.
Yeah, that's some funny shit.
