  1. Re:Almost believed it! on KDE Moves to BitKeeper · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - the Pope was found dead in his Rome hospital bed this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly a Polish icon.

    It's a chicken and egg problem. Maybe you could start dual-booting, see what kind of satisfaction linux can deliver now (as there are some games available), and become linux market share! The more linux is seen, the more games will be written for it.

    People who actually do work on computers tend to get stuff done, regradless of OS. Gamers, OTOH, do not.

    I agree. Enough already. Some of us need to feel like we're wasting time more productivly.

    This is a topic that rarely gets breached on slashdot, but...

    Our culture has gone a long way to create the dumb blonde as what we expect. We push sexuality on girls at a younger and younger age, celebrate slutty behaviour, and have spawned a generation of kids who think 'bitch' and 'ho' are acceptable labels for women.

    In this enviorment, is it any wonder we celebrate dumb, attractive, rich women with, uhhhh 'loose morals'?

    You either need to get out more, or find a place with a better gene pool.

    I'm convinced that my town (Nelson, BC) produces some of the most attractive women in the world. Everyone's a skier/Mountain biker, and there are lots of mountains, so every girl has great legs and rosy cheeks.

    For the uninitiated, "Grand Teton" translates as "Big Tits". God bless the French, for calling it as they see it.

    I remember a class I took once; We were studying early societies, and we watched a film on Silbury Hill, an artificial bronze age pile of dirt in Britain. The film, and the teacher, insisted that the hill was a breast, and that it was an expression of a matriarchal culture.

    The counter argument, of course, is; How the hell do you build a hill that does not look like a breast?

    There's nothing stopping you from calling one of the cab companies on Google from Canada. They might want a credit card number before they send a driver, though.

  14. Re:expect... on Mac OS X Tiger Goes Gold · · Score: 4, Interesting
    It might not move as many as you think. The people in the market for a mini (the archtypical 'switcher') don't really follow OS releases.

    OTOH, I've had 'wait until Tiger' in the back of my head when thinking about getting a Mac.

  25. Re:Very Cute on Metafor: Translating Natural Language to Code · · Score: 2, Informative
    C++, the language many people firt work with in OOP, is not the easiest way to go about it. If you already know C, look at Objective-C. It is C + a very small set of OOP extensions.

    If you don't know C, look at Python.

    The OOP paradigm is much easier to get in the right language.
