I sometimes think that Islam hasn't had it's version of "The Reformation" yet. In the west that somewhat reduced the power of religion compared to nation-states. But In "Islam-land" the Religion has more even MORE power than it does here.
And they haven't learned that oppressing a gender makes them weak because they're not using all of their "human resources" at their disposal.
Imagine if tomorrow women in the US were required to stay home and not have jobs....it would destroy the US economy very quickly.
Fuck the OED, they started catering to the "lets add all the new Internet meme words" people. Besides, I'm from the US and it is NOT in the Merriam-Webster. Considering it seems to be UK and EU types that use it most...
I really don't care what some meme-addled strongbad-watching twenty year old gamer-geeks think, it's not a word.
If someone wants to say "bad to an extreme degree" they can say "extremely bad" or "extremely terrible" that's what adverbs are for. Would Whitman, Steinbeck make up silly words like "extremebad" or "extremible"
"Content" connotes "something to fill a box" more than creative works of authorship, and "creator" compares authors to deities.
"Normal" people who aren't FSF worshippers understand that words can have MULTIPLE meanings in English and don't get their selves all butthurt when people use common usage.
If GNU or FSF really want's to make a difference, they should get rid of the people who write their web pages, manifestos and statements. That web page you link to sounds like it was written by a robot who doesn't live in the real world...which means, of course, Stallman.
I know of the term neckbeard from the Linux community. I do game now and then, more casually than self-defined gamers, but less casually than phone/tablet/facebook gamers.
Ah, but the people suggesting moving away from both Microsoft and Apple all run DRM free ogg-vorbis, and like to build their environments from a collection of parts.
I sometimes suggest people move away from Microsoft, and I do run Linux, but I don't use ogg. CD's I rip to 320kbps MP3. I have also purchased singles and albums from the Amazon MP3 store. I also didn't built my "environment". It's an old compaq CQ5320f refurb that I've done a couple of upgrades to. Upgraded to a quad core Phenom, 4GB of RAM and a GT640 rev2.
My "portable music player" is my Android phone.
The idea of actually using software for an extended period of time and needing it to work with devices is a foreign concept.
I've pretty much been using the same "software stack" for years. XMMS for playback, Grip for ripping, Thunar for transferring music to the portable devices.
But since the mid to late 80's, when people say PC they mean a computer using a CPU with the x86 instruction set running a Microsoft operating system.
Face it, the Intel/IBM/Microsoft hegemony wone the terminology battle years ago. As was said then: Those Commodores, Ataris, TRS-80 branded machines aren't PC's, they're "home computers" not "real PC's". A real computer runs Word/Lotus123.
What IPv6 does is recreates the pre-NAT world of easy communications between systems. Going back to the symmetrical world where everything on the internet is a server simplifies commuting immensely. That's why I want IPv6.
Most people aren't telecommuters and we aren't going back to the symmetrical world. That world was a world of neckbeards, alt.religion.kibology, gopher, and hytelnet.
We don't live in a world where the internet is dominated by neckbeards anymore.
This is part of the AUP of my local ISP, the cable company:
By way of example (without limitation) you may not:
Use or run dedicated, stand-alone equipment or servers from your premises that provide network content or any other services to anyone outside of your premises. Examples of prohibited equipment and servers include, but are not limited to, email, Web hosting, file sharing, and proxy services and servers;
They don't mind if you do things on a temporary basis (I've accessed a machine via ssh and ran a IRC server for a few hours), but they don't want 24/7 servers on home connections.
They also don't mind occasional use of bittorrent for things like Linux distros, software updates and the like. But they don't want you running a BT client 24/7.
Well, I dislike it because it makes it much harder to administer a box as a UNIX-type machine with a simple text editor. Now it seems like I'm stuck with meta-scripts invoking meta-scripts invoked by other scripts to do something as simple as changing my DNS servers.
I run Fedora 21, a systemd distro. You want to change your dns servers on Fedora 21?
You can use the Network GUI thing nm-connection-editor or whatever equivalent your desktop uses.
Or if you prefer the terminal or console you can use nmtui which is the same thing in a terminal/console
Or you can vim/etc/resolv.conf That still works. You might still need to reset the connection after the change.
Or you can: nmcli con mod connection-name ipv4.dns "8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"
Okay, you want it GUI easy? install the repos via your web browser and THEN use a graphical package manager to install the nvidia package.
It's not as fast as just copying/pasting the commands in a terminal though. If I can learn the usefulness of copying/pasting into a terminal, anyone can.
No neckbeard, rms stalking or ubuntu fork, required.
No, that hasn't been the case for years. When you hear about some dude's nvidia driver breaking on a kernel update it's because he didn't install the driver in the "Easy Button" way.
Use the package manager NOT Nvidia's silly ".run" package from their website.
However, open-source drivers work much better on Linux systems than proprietary drivers;
I can tell you in no uncertain terms that the Nvidia binary driver works better than Nouveau does. I'm currently running a GT640 rev2 under Fedora 21. Previously I ran a GT220 and a 6150SE.
the proprietary ones usually take extra work to install, they break on updates, etc.,
When you read of some guy's Nvidia drivers breaking on updates, it means he did things the HARD way and installed the ".run" package from Nvidia's website manually instead of taking the Easy Button way of using their distro's package manager.
On Fedora, if you're using a card supported by the current driver, it's as easy as:
Well, unless when they sold the game they STATED CLEARLY that the game was not sold, but was an 18 month lease of service then YES WE DO.
You see, when you sell someone an item, YOU HAVE TO DAMN WELL STAND BEHIND IT!
Games aren't sold, they haven't been for a long while...they're LICENSED. Look at the back of the damn box, or the manual. And with most games the license notes clearly state the online multiplayer functionality can be discontinued at ANY time and isn't guaranteed to last forever.
Imagine if you bought a house and it started falling down after 18 months... perhaps that would also just be ok? after all, the seller got what they wanted..
Actually there are rules on that, and I do believe that it isn't the sellers responsibility, after a certain period of time. That's what the inspection is for, to catch things that need fixing. Now if something happens AFTER that, it's the new owners responsibility.
Still, I guess you will get your EA shill money no matter.. but then they dont pay you to be a moron do they, you do it voluntarily.
I actually don't play sports games. Are you an overly entitled whiny 12 year old? The reality is that software is licensed, it's that simple.
I'm surprised that they are using a Windows desktop for everyday tasks such as document editing.

I think the kid should be charced with something like "Criminal Mischief" and should recieve "community service" with a suspended short juvenile detention (say a weekend) term on condition of not violating terms of that suspension. That should be enough of a "scared straight" incentive.
He's 14, that's old enough to know better, or at least know to NOT put a "two guys" background and use Rickroll or grumpycat instead.
The vast majority of sports-gamers are also "sports fans" want to play with the CURRENT roster, only a few cheap bastards who buy Madden 09 in 2012 or something go whining about the multiplayer servers going down. Even then, singleplayer and local-multiplayer still work, so their experience is the same as someone playing the old tyme pre-online Maddens
Do we really expect EA to keep the servers for each year's madden release up forever?
