I've hated EA ever since back in 1985 when I bought a game for my C64 that hammered my 1541 disk drive out of alignment. It took about 5 minutes to load and you could fry an egg on the drive's cover by the time it was finished. I finally got the copy protection stripped out and it loaded in about 24 seconds just as smooth as silk. I haven't bought a game from those fuckers since. I can't believe they're still in business the way they've screwed over their customers and they are still at it today.
Funny thing is that if he had just nutted up and slit the bitches throat he'd probably only have gotten 7 or 8 years. As long as you don't use a gun it's like they don't even care. People typically get more time for selling drugs than for murder. If he'd just beat her to death he could have claimed he snapped and used an insanity defense and pled it down to 2 or 3 years. The system is screwed. Murder and rape are becoming minor crimes.
Salt, once you get past a small amount, isn't good. I hate most fast food because it tastes like nothing but salt. They load down everything with salt so you can't even taste the food. Maybe that's the point.
I migrated from the Amiga to linux and over a decade later I'm pretty happy with it. It's not a perfect world but it's better than the alternatives and it's free. Not bad at all. I don't mind having to fix things up on a free operating system but paying out a bunch of money for windows and then struggling to keep it going would piss me off. I do have OS X on a mini and strangely that just works as long as I don't want to do anything Apple doesn't approve of. Linux video tools are getting better though so I may pass on OS X soon as well.
I remember one book about a plague that all but wipes out mankind. One guy traveling across the country sees sheepdogs still herding sheep even though the shepherds are dead and gone. That left a vivid image in my mind.
I can't imagine such a situation. I had a few cats that hung around my house years ago. They stayed out in my shop and kept the rats scared and I left them alone. One of them did commit suicide by walking on my wife's new car when she could see it but other than that we tolerated each other. I made sure they had a water supply but besides that I could care less about them. I don't understand people that allow animals to occupy their house but hey, to each his own.
You know, if you are buying something and have no clue what you need then this is what happens. They should take a long hard look at whoever decided to buy these things as they are the ones responsible for wasting taxpayers' money. Cisco is on the hot seat right now but if you went through what states buy line by line I'd be willing to bet big money that you'd find a lot more stuff like this. When people spend other peoples' money there sometimes is a tendency not to worry about it.
It is not 1% less. They are actually just not increasing as much as they'd like to. It is not a cut in spending. Damn I miss Bill Clinton. At least he was just fucking interns instead of the entire country.
Sweeping them out will do no good if we just sweep more politicos back in to replace them. We need to quit voting for Democrats and Republicans. They both are just mafias that only care about themselves and their owners who are NOT the American public. This two party shuffle is killing us as they split us along high profile devisive issues like abortion so they can pick our pockets. Divide and conquer is what they are best at.

You know they can't even get rid of the child porn out there and somehow they think they'll succeed with porn in general? Luck with that.

Actually Holder does believe in giving due process. He's just redefining due process as "the government thinks you are guilty."

Come on man, quit holding back. Tell us how you really feel.
I find the opposite. Linux is far easier to use and setup. It's not as easy as the Mac but compared to every Windows installation I've done it's cake.
Hollywood not that dumb? You haven't been to a theater lately?
Obviously nature intended for males to mate with males and females with females in order to.......hmmm.....I guess it's just recreational after all.
oooooh! sarcasm!
I agree. No need to hate on De Icaza. It's his choice but I don't really get why now and not years back when Linux was more of a struggle.

generally most games are more fun to hack than to play. My favorite games were always the ones with construction sets.
I can't help it if I sit atop the food chain.
If he used common sense then he's obviously not an engineer.

How about sheep? Bred to be stupid and dependant. Massive numbers of them just waiting to be harvested.
Really? You sit in a seat? How do you do that? I've always sat on top of them never inside them. Silly me I didn't even know it was possible.
It's always about money.
They send you a summons to come to court and if you don't show up THEN they come with the guns.

He probably means that you actually have to have a little knowledge to exploit C while Java is just one big sieve.
