How is this Apple bigot being insightful? He just claimed that apple charges for service packs. What douchebag calls Apple's bugfix releases a service pack? The kind that thinks that MAJOR operating system upgrades are also service packs.
Look, to each his own. If you prefer the Windows way, go for it, it's your choice and your freedom, but leave the brain dead asshatery at home.
Your funny little post is not only wildly inaccurate and devoid of reality, but you didn't answer my question, only took the opportunity to bash Israel for being a nuclear power. Let me ask you this, which leader of these two countries has declared that the other is an illegitimate nation? Hint: It's not the prime minister of Israel.
Besides, take your head out of your ass and look around. There is more to Iran than Israel. They are a threat to most nations in the area, funding and sending weapons and soldiers to Iraq, directly involved with Syria over terrorist activities in and outside of the middle east. Lebanon seems to have a hard time keeping prime ministers from dying at the hands of Syrian and Iranian assassins. Iran directly funds Hezbollah and they even piss the Saudis off, but mostly because they are Persians I guess. Can't take the hate out of radical islamic fascists can you?
You know, the worlds problems aren't because of Israel, it's because cowards like you rush to appease Hitleresque fools like Ahmadinejad.
Why are people here so willing to stand up to the bullies at the RIAA, but you won't allow this country to stand up to bullies in the middle east like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. (He's the "President" of Iran for those of you who've undergone public education.)
Who cares indeed. It's garbage news suited to a template that only applies to the left leaning in the country.
For example, Limbaugh just sold the Reid censorship letter on eBay's charity division for $2,100,100 and for more than any item has *ever* been sold before on eBay. The 2nd largest auction was Jay Leno's motorcycle auction that went for $800,000. As of 5pm today, search CNN, search NBC news, ABC, CBS, what do you find? Nothing. MSNBC does have a single story, but it's a rant on some editorial blog. The only major news outlet to even acknowledge the fact was Foxnews. Go on, I dare you to search. The truth is scary.
It's jaw dropping that there are so many ignorant sheep in this country that bleat about media corporations and bias, but their own champions of journalism don't even hide the fact that they only see one side of every story.
What are you people so scared of? You moan and whine about diversity and skin color, but people who think different than you have to be silenced? You are all Stalinists and fascists. The American people exist to be free and to think freely, not to blindly follow your liberal moral code.
Let me get this straight. You make the personal choice to purchase a piece of Apple hardware and knowingly pay two or three times the price you would pay to an alternative vendor and somehow Apple is screwing you? How does someone walk into a store and make a purchase knowing full well the price they are being charged and the price the bestbuy down the street is charging, yet this person somehow is being taken advantage of?
Modern physics is great if you want to construct a nuclear aircraft carrier, or a atomic bomb. The laws we have created from observation will build these things just fine. Also note, all major advances in humans beings knowledge has so far been ONLY from the fact we are hateful, selfish creatures in these areas and love to blow our fellow creatures away in every means possible. EVERY major advance in physics in the 20th century was from building the A Bomb/Hydrogen bomb.
Thank God that we *are* war-mongering bastards or you'd be writing your shitty little post in German instead of English. Thank God that we had a president who was willing to kill enough of the other side to make the *real* slaughter stop.
Illiterate and ignorant fools like you disgust me. Your historical perspective started the day you were born and it shows in your utter arrogance and stupidity.
What if this drive *is* the backup. Or, are you are telling me that it's unreasonable to go out and buy only one 300GB hard drive? You have to have two so you can always make a backup? In the real world, most people don't smoke $100 bills and things cost real money. Reliable filesystems are important for that reason, let alone others.
Are you trying to be funny? If you want to just be an asshole and throw out a filesystem that is guaranteed to never be ported to the majority of all platforms, why don't we pick ZFS, a *CLEAR* and obvious winner over Ext3. ZFS is more technically capable, more powerful and I'll even venture to say more righteous than Ext3 will ever be.
"You sir, are a stupid cocksucker. There are many more options available besides NTFS-3G. You're just too much a Microsoftie to admit such."
Ah, but at least I have the balls not to post my opinion as a dirty AC. Actually, I work with OS X on the desktop and Linux on the server side and I have a XP box at home. I'm interested in a solution that fits all three, not some bigoted and fascist selection that pointedly excludes one or the other.
What exactly makes me a "Microsoftie"? If you read my post you replied to (for the first time) you'll notice that I was specifically bitching about the OP assuming something would work on OS X, when in fact, it can't. OS X currently only officially supports userspace drivers.
nfts-3g was the only good answer. I should have mentioned that, but the problem is a whole, not just a windows issue. Assuming that something works because OS X is posix is wrong as we are talking about data here, often un-recoverable and damned important. Stability and maturity is too important to leave up to chance.
Have any of you read the post you are replying to? He's asking for a solution for multiple platforms, not just windows and linux. If you read his question, he uses Linux, Mac OS X and uses a Windows partition for games. Solutions that only work on windows and linux or linux and bsd are USELESS. Stop answering with your favorite non-portable file system and answer the question, or STFU please.
I call bullshit. Nintendo never had a widely popular console until the mid 80's and for that matter, the Nintendo 64 wasn't sold until 1996. I can't take you seriously until you get your facts straight.
This is slashdot and the facts are important, Sir!
Go read the 1st Amendment, then come back here and give me one example of where the Federal Government has abridged this right at any point in the last, oh... say seven years. State and local governments don't count; you never know when some yokel in Mississippi is going to do something idiotic.
I'll quote it though, just in case you've never read it, are too lazy to look, or both:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Give me a law, or give me an example of when the right to freely practice your religion, or anyone else's has been prohibited?
I don't get why anyone is surprised. This is just modern Soviet-style Communism. At the same time that it decries the EVIL west and it's kapitalistic society they want it's economic power and happiness so much that they emulate the very things that some of us would define as our worst kapitalistic sins. Is there a more "evil" company than Disney?
Of course, like all communist governments, they get it wrong.
As an aside, I enjoy Asian cinema, Korean films the most. I've given a few HK films a shot and something that has been often impressed in my mind is that the Chinese people in these films are portrayed as the most materialistic culture I've ever seen in my life. I'm apt to take this with a grain of salt, as our own Hollywood does a woefully inadequate job of actually portraying everyday life in America. But, these films are made for some audience right? How on earth could a Communist society like China be at all concerned about material wealth? Do they not have all they need?
I agree with your point and well said! The American dream has never been about becoming a corporate drone to hawk overpriced electronics to ignorant consumers.
An amazing article about altering mice to see more than two wavelengths and the fact that some women can apparently see four, and some retarded, dork has to make an "I, for one, welcome" joke.
Doesn't that joke ever get old? Some moderator even marked it as funny. For fucks sake people... you all must be a fucking gas at a party.
A couple of people in the office use Open Office and whenever they modify my network topology sheets, they always come back with weird fonts, wrong colors and characters replaced in the sheet titles. The spread sheets are always usable, but it's damned annoying for things to be all fubar. OpenOffice seems fine in a homogeneous environment, but for it's not good enough to mix in with Microsoft Office.
I agree with you 100%, but your original question, "And why is it that Jack Thompson can walk down the street without everyone pointing and laughing?" is what I was answering, not debating the reasons or substance behind the question.
You asked why and I told you. The citizenry can't be expected to be informed about every single instance of abuse in our government and it's unrealistic to think that a particular case like Thompson would be known outside of gamer circles. The non-bejewled population is very tiny... very. Personally, the best way to combat a fool like Thompson is exactly how Take-two and organizations like Penny-arcade have done. Litigation, public ridicule and constant badgering of his bar association.
Because the planet does not wake up every day and shake their fist at the sky and say, "I will get you today, Thompson!". We have lives, jobs, friends, children, hobbies and other interests. Don't make the mistake that your obsession over this should be the obsession of others. Outside of the sociological implications Thompson's activities, how does his actions affect "people on the street"? Nil. What the hell does it matter to normal people whether a game like bully gets sold or not? Nothing.
Don't get me wrong, I'd personally be right there with you, laughing and pointing at this waste of oxygen, but it's arrogant to actually think it matters to everyday people. They are busy producing, not playing video games.
The blog post here trashes him, but the author pretty much discounts him simply because anything or anyone associated with Limbaugh must be wrong, right?
30-40% is a lot of money and to be honest, who works for their health? If the job you are considering taking is stable, not contract work, and the work environment is the same or better, I would sure as hell take the position.
Yes, employers don't like it when potential employees move around alot, but I'd much rather hear "I was needed more and offered a larger salary at company X", than I was fired or laid off.
Step #1: Observe abnormal or extreme environmental phenomena Step #2: Locate a "scientist" willing to go on record Step #3: Ignore the basic tenets of science. (Observe, theorize, prove/disprove) Step #4: WE WILL DIE IN THE NEXT (insert your conveniently difficult to prove or disprove number here) YEARS! OMGWTFBBQ!!1!
The very fact that this article has to assure people that these underground lakes have nothing to do with global warming should raise a few eyebrows. I can feel the herd of angry Moderators rushing towards me as I type this.
If I say that, after careful observation and research, the sky is a wonderful puce, not blue, would my article belong in the science section of slashdot? Of course not... I didn't mention the internet, did I?
Science involves more than dressing up in a white lab coat...
