I've had more kernel panics (about 5) than BSODs (exactly zero) on my computer, and i only had linux for a couple days.. Mandrake, as they say, is not for the faint of heart. Oh hell no.
Only problem with your "solution" is that you're crippled by expensive Apple hardware. Good luck trying to install mirrored hard drives in that, or millions of other things you would ordinarily expect.
You've OBVIOUSLY forgotten what he did to the original trilogy... he's completely brainfucked, there's no hope for redemption, and I wish the (admittedly rather dull) mob-mind of slashdot would do something smart for a change, and boycott this POS from the start. Maybe download + watch if absolutely necessary, but DO NOT see it at the theatre. Thanks. I'll take my soapbox and leave now.
This is the second firmware update since release, which makes a new firmware release every 3 weeks. Congratulations for being at least partially right, dude.
Also, there's a registry in the iShuffle that's designed to interface _only_ with iTunes. It's been partially reverse-engineered, but not with any lasting degree of success. It could easily have an auxiliary purpose of playing Steely Dan preferentially. Kindly put on your tinfoil hat, and all will be made clear.
bushorchimp makes no argument; the humour is in the accurate reflection of your precious president as a rather simple simian:) Ook ook!!
Also, I like the clever way you misspelled 'tragedy' after my own clever misspelling. Maybe we should be friends instead of all this fighting:D I shall add you to my 'friends' list forthwith! Let all this bitterness be behind us, brother, as we fight the good fight together and WIN! PS Please vote for me in the next election.. I have a good feeling about all this hate.
My brother spend an entire day getting his new iBook to cooperate with our Win network. It still has issues, like incredibly slow throughput. Anybody claiming that Macs just work has probably never tried one. That's my impression after watching and observing..
sorry, you said misusing a tragery??? Take a look around you buddy. The Texas oil-guy's war on Iraq had nothing to do with those terrorist attacks on the Trade Center; everybody knows that now, even the moron himself.
Hiring for Court Jester is Finished. Welcome aboard, dinglebec! With such uncontained optimism, few will fail to laugh when you rhyme your merry anecdotes of systems that run for 2 years with nary a kernel panic, device upgrade, nor X11 crash! Many will marvel at the amazingly antiquated hardware you still run, and cheers will ring soundly through the halls when you entertain us with your upgrade antics when requiring new features - when your software quits working because library foo isn't compatible, and you have to download 40MB of libraries to make it work, but versioning and dependencies take you until the rest of the week just to upgrade GNOME! (while breaking all your installed apps of course) And if we're talking compilation time (as any good Gentoo fool would say) we can share your enthusiasm for fixing things ALL year 'round!:) I shall call you with any technical problem I come across while installing my distro of choice! Of course Debian's good for a few laughs and DOS-era nostalgia, while Fedora tries to refresh my monitor at over 100Hz DURING THE INSTALL, perfect for FRYING my laptop LCD completely. Xandros barfs at detecting the very CD-ROM device I boot it from - Kernel issues are so adorable! And installing a system full of rubbish (five text editors, three web browsers, more office suites than you can shake a stick at) might take only a few CD changes and some hours, but Windows sure does take almost an hour sometimes too. When I'm installing on my slowest machine. And there was that time that I had a BSOD, from RAID hardware with the wrong drivers. Someday when Linux gives me the luxury of using my hardware (like the RAID controller built into my mobo) I expect that BSOD will be ported to fill that need too. Unless kernel panics get there first? Finding device drivers? It takes nearly a whole minute with the CD that came with my machine. Intolerable! I want my three-hour kernel compilation's worth of enjoyment! And to the doubters who say that Linux will probably never support my Asus motherboard properly, because free-loving hippies can't afford nice stuff like this to test their crapware on: fie on you all! Have faith in my jester!
But seriously. When Linux can do even a quarter of what Windows 2000 is capable of, I'll be convinced to take it out for more than a joyride. Until then, it's an excellent and amusing toy for my fool to play with.
My first question was, "WTF?" What's the point of making a competiting browser, which ALLOWS YOU TO EXECUTE CODE FROM THE BROWSER YOU ARE COMPETITING WITH? Does this seem stupid to anyone else?
Yes it does!
You know that spell-checker you're using? I'll take whatever the competititor is.
(ATTN retarded mods: satire alert!) Please note that I say MORON with as much love is as humanly possible, especially considering that parent poster doesn't even OWN a spell-checker, nor would he be bothered to become literate if otherwise.
It really wouldn't be that hard for Microsoft to release a generic codec pack for Linux.
It also wouldn't be worth their time to diddle around making a codec that only 1% of computer users would use. And they sure as heck aren't going to provide the source, because Microsoft doesn't believe in free (as in the FSF def'n of free) software. What's the point? Then after you factor in that binary compatibility isn't worth a damn in the Linux world, and even if MS released a binary codec for Linux it wouldn't work for long (assuming the usual upgrade cycle), I'd say that the Win32 codecs we've got right now are perfectly OK. Not to mention that it's almost impossible to make a program run nicely on each of the billions of distros out there anyways. Maybe I'm just a little bitter after all..
Slashdot Mirror
I've had more kernel panics (about 5) than BSODs (exactly zero) on my computer, and i only had linux for a couple days.. Mandrake, as they say, is not for the faint of heart. Oh hell no.
no, the real problem is that they're using open source spell-checkers.
and hot grits. How could you??

What does KDE have to do with this thread? Stay on topic, please.
is this why we learn calculus for software engineering?? see what number we're approaching in the infinite series
This is not a thread on the useful properties of the shitware. Please post your fanboy antics in another forum. THank you,

find it here. Enjoy.
More like a "drive-in" shooting, they couldn't get his lard ass out of the McDonalds. Actual cause of death was overeating.
search for "iPod Shuffle" database
In Applespeak, the registry is actually a database.

See, not everybody has an unlimited budget! I told Apple this years ago. Finally somebody listens.
Hooray!

After the heat shield, what will Opportunity look at?
How about the Cavern of Moltumesk?
It's quiet. Some people prize silence over an extra 3fps in Quake 3.

attractive, eh... i see your eyesight has been eroded by too many years in your parents' basement :(
