Nope they moved here to the good ol' USA...... Who did you think was running things....The people of the US.... HAHAHA I laugh in your general direction
Being an American and dealing with my fellow countrymen on a daily basis , I can understand why in America that a brain is not considered a Tangible data medium.
Ahh but you are wrong... There is no such thing as being a racist against a white man. White man makes comment about Black man = RACIST Black Man makes same comment about White man = NOT RACIST Racism is racism period. Until you can come up with FACTS proving whites are more likely to have drugs than that comment is as racist as blacks are more likely to have fried chicken.
You are absolutely correct America was NOT built on Illegal Immigrant labor.... It was built by SLAVE LABOR Illegal Immigrants can at least leave when they want. They should learn to appreciate the blessings they have./end sarcasm
WOW nice try Calling a guy a TROLL becuase he was wrong.... Funny how in fact he was right and you were wrong. Does that make you a troll or a douchbag
No that was his opinion , which he is entitled to have. Despite all who liked Vista - and there were many - no, it was not a good operating system if you use simple consumer metrics
Not a fact. It is your opinion which you are entitled to have.
: a) it frustrated people
Theres a broad statement. How many people did it frustrate. what percentage of Vista users were frustrated by Vista. Where are you getting this data. It didn't frustrate me. But if it even frustrated 2 people this would be a true statement.
b) it caused many working Windows systems to no longer work
See above. How many Windows systems actually stopped working. does this count only the ones that stopped working altogether. Does it count systems that stopped working but were repaired or fixed while still using Windows Vista My system ran just fine on Vista.
c) it created confusion without end.
Ok can you provide some data on how much confusion this created. was it alot of confusion to just a few people. or a little confusion to a lot of people. It didn't confuse me at all. Of course most people who sit in front of a computer get confused when you get to the really tough tech stuff like plugging it in and turning it on. This wouldnt be Vistas fault.
it was so bad that the company that made it decided to call the fixed version by a completely different name.
Thats if Windows 7 is just the FIXED version. I have yet to read anywhere that microsoft said they just fixed vista and gave it a differnt name and that product was windows 7.
At the risk of being modded down as a basher - and I'm not - I say this because it's REALITY.
You say your not a basher. If it walks like a duck and sounds like a duck most likely its a duck, You say this is "REALITY" Sorry but I call bullsh*t. It may be your reality but you are not so special that your reality becomes everyones reality.
You might want to disagree with me as a happy Vista user - but that makes my point.
WOW you are really full of yourself. Im just curious when you masturbate do you call out your own name. How the hell does anyone disagreeing with you make your point. It doesn't. It just shows that your an egomaniac who thinks your opinion is law and the rest of us who disagree are just nuts or confused. Blow me
Do you even remember Longhorn?
I also remember Coke blak At this point Im going to ignore the rest of this mess until you write something sane.
Such things could include Windows Vista sucked. (Thats an opinion which we are all entitled to have) NOT Windows Vista Causes testicular cancer in midgets. (Thats just a load of bullsh*t untill its backed by PROOF)
OK im confused Doctor Who TNG.. Isn't TNG The Next Generation.. as in Star Trek The Next Generation ?? Also I don't believe its supposed to be Marvin the Depressed Robot.. I believe its supposed to be Marvin The Paranoid Android.
it wom't be the last time...is right. maybe you should get a better spell checker.
But being a grammar Nazi or a spelling Nazi should be punishable by death and banning (in that order) People who do that generally just don't have the brain power to contribute to a discussion that involves adult subjects.
The important thing here is the subject of the discussion. If grammar and spelling are your thing goto school. If you already have been to school goto college. If you've been to college teach a class on it. Everything has a time and place. this time and place is for a discussion where the main ideas and points have NOTHING to do with spelling.
Perhaps Slashdot could invent a slashdot version of "the kiddie table" for such people.
And yes I know the seating would be packed and I would be among the first banished there for trolling or some such activities.
People who drink diet soft drinks don't lose weight. In fact, they gain weight, a new study shows. The findings come from eight years of data collected by Sharon P. Fowler, MPH, and colleagues at the University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio. Fowler reported the data at the annual meeting of the American Diabetes Association in San Diego. "What didn't surprise us was that total soft drink use was linked to overweight and obesity," Fowler tells WebMD. "What was surprising was when we looked at people only drinking diet soft drinks, their risk of obesity was even higher." In fact, when the researchers took a closer look at their data, they found that nearly all the obesity risk from soft drinks came from diet sodas. "There was a 41% increase in risk of being overweight for every can or bottle of diet soft drink a person consumes each day," Fowler says.People who drink diet soft drinks don't lose weight.

Tell ya what You let me smoke myself to death and Ill let you get fat and die of a heart attack.
You my friend are a dick. What about the poor people behind him. or say the kids in the car.
Maybe what you need is a little compassion. In that case it is my fondest hope the next time you goto the Zoo the Apes make sweet sweet love to you. Maybe if they show you compassion you might show some back. (PS a reach around doesnt count)
I would like to disagree with you. But I cant. All I can do is sit here smoking my perfectly safe Ecig and laugh.
Whats that you say they are going to raise taxes on cigarettes? Hell yeah stupid smokers ! what gives them the right to live free and enjoy themselves ? Who cares if the Constitution says you cant tax groups as punishment. Tax em Tax those smokers to the poor house.
Huh? Whats that ? there after my diet sodas ? Oh Noos. Must group together. Stop The Evil government . I have the right to Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And soda makes me happy.
I would put something about how what comes around goes around but I think the post above puts it best.
FUCK YOU. ps If you think the Government is going to stop at taxing your soda Think Again.
And yet you added yours.
No hes right we should all shut up like good little sheeple. Dont have an opinion about this.
Move along nothing to see here.
Baaaaa Baaaaa
My question is Was his Email accnt deleted forever or just for a few days untill this mess gets sorted out.
Why not just order google to check if that msg had been read and if not delete the msg
on a personal note can someone tell me how to split a comment up into paragraphs here. Everything i have tried runs it all together as 1 paragraph.
When you think about it, isn't it basically the same thing.
Copyright Education-- Kids Dont Copy Music Its Bad.
Sex Ed--- Kids Dont Copy...yourselves Its Bad
So the tree is 500 years behind the times. The last place on earth that can make fun of something for being behind on something is Slashdot.
Say anyone read the story on how "Facebook Lets Advertisers Use Pictures Without Permission". I did.
About a week and a half ago on Digg.
But look on the bright side at least we arnt getting "NEW" stories about some guy named Noah and a terrible rainstorm.
WOW thats all I can say.
Libertarian Your definition is wayyy off my definition.
I counted myself as a Republican for most of my life. But then BUSH happened. So after 8 years of that I said to myself "self maybe your a democrat, lets try that. This Obama guy seems interesting. He wants an Open Government. Freedom for all regardless of race sexual preference national origin or what color of ice cream we eat. Lets give that a shot whadya say?"
So I voted for Obama, Crossed my fingers and waited. Lets just say that it hasnt been what most of us were expecting.
The whole Open Transparent Government thing isnt as Open or transparent as hoped. Its not even as transparent as say solid concrete.
How in the hell can anyone claim National Security to keep citizens in the dark about a treaty that was drawn up to bolster Copyright laws.
Yeah Yeah I know when the Terrorist can get thier hands on free copies of Punky Brewster or Madonnas Music Then the Terrorists win.
Speaking of Copyright laws and such. How many RIAA lawyers has Obama put into office over at the Justice dept.
So yeah im not a big fan of the Democrat party right now.
But as far as voting REPUBLICAN every chance I get , If I had a trout Id use it on you.
The only way you could misconstrue what the Libertarian Party as trying to Dismantle the Government is if you believed that the ONLY government was the Federal Government (or if you had the attention span of a meth addicted ferret)
Sit down and read the Constitution of the USA. You will see it states very pacifically what powers the US Federal Government has or should have. It should have those and NOTHING ELSE. As far as turning the USA into a "every man for himself" country. LOL. Ive never heard a libratarian Ive talked to say he/she wants all government gone. We just dont want or need an all powerful Federal government. Each state would have the powers that the Federal government has been claiming for its own.
this way if pot being legalized is of major importance in your life , Fight it in your own state or you can move to another state that matches your view point.
Each person would have more choice in the type of government he wants.
Also imho a lot of the problems we face today (Politically anyway) boils down to a matter of scale. You as a person are much more likely to vote and become involved with how your government is run if you think you can actually effect things. With as huge as the Federal Government has gotten Not many people think they stand a chance of having any real input to make a change at the Federal level. Thats another reason to move the power to a State level so we as Americans can actually change how things are being done.
BTW I am not a political science major or anything like that, just a guy looking around and trying to apply common sense to what he sees is wrong.
PS if anyone could please tell me how to get this into another form besides one big long block of text id appreciate that
So a lot of users are from other countries besides the USA. What do you want, something besides a biased viewpoint.
Going with a non-biased viewpoint is a slippery slope we dare not tread. It could lead to things like not turning every single headline , article , post , and UFO sighting pro linux circle jerk.
PS mod me to hell, I dont care. I actually have a life outside of Slashdot.
Have you actually subjected yourself to The Bible?
No incest, or more politely, inbreeding" had to occur at all.
Read the book Man, see for your self, the talk of "the other people" who existed at the same time.
RTFBible, because it's clear you're ignorant on some important "myths".
There Fixed that for ya..
Your welcome
so the cable company could avoid caps and traffic shaping to accommodate the guy in his mom's basement down the street who supplies the world with porn 7/24.
You say that like PORN is a BAD Thing.
what about the other guy down the street who spends 30 minutes a day checking email and reading a couple blog or news sites but is so busy that he doesn't want that to be 32 minutes so he subscribes to the high speed option?
WOW he must be busy to notice 2 whole freakin mins.
Whats he busy doing. You seemed so interested in knowing what the first guy was doing, when you commecnted on his PORN HABBIT.
Whats this guy doing. Lets see hes busy busy busy. Time is ultra important to him. Is he selling crack. Maybe those 2 mins are so important to him because if he's 2 mins late he misses the little kids getting off the bus.
So my answer to what about him.....SCREW HIM...hes a damn crack dealing perv anyway.
When the Police came for the bloggers,
I remained silent;
I was not a blogger.
Then they locked up the rich,
I remained silent;
I was not rich.
Then they came for the gun owners,
I did not speak out;
I was not a gun owner.
Then they came for the press,
I did not speak out;
I was not a member of the press.
When they came for me,
My ass was in Canada (but I left them some cookies and milk with a nice letter that told them to go F%#@ Themselves)
