What's ugly about a site that at one blink of the eye shows you exactly what you need? A site that is meant to be informative. A site that loads like the wind blows!

The geek that developed himself sufficiently renounces religion based on reason.
See, that's the problem. You think you have some overarching intelligence advantage. There is no logic that you can use to prove that God doesn't exist and you therefor don't believe. (And I'm not claiming I can use logic to explain the other point of view.) If you don't believe, fine. But don't tell me you don't believe because you know something I don't.
So you have already realised that your religious beliefs are based on stories without any form of scientific backing. You apparently also read Dawkins who very precisely explains why most likely there isn't a god. And still you aren't convinced. Or perhaps you're in denial as everything that used to provide a foundation turns out not to exist. Or perhaps you cannot fathom that some people are benevolent simply because they sincerely are, not because they fear a god. Whatever you choose to believe, more reasoning and less rationalisation will improve your life.
There is nothing "friendly" about brainwashing and indoctrinating your children into a superstitious, fearful, dogmatic, and guilt-obsessed worldview.
There's nothing friendly about shoving all Christians into your brainwashed, fearful, dogmatic and guilt-obsessed personal view of them either. You don't have a claim to being any more intelligent or moral than those you denounce. You complain about them believing something you may not even though them believing impacts you in no way whatsoever.
I fear a holy war is about to ensue. Here on/. In a community of geeks. Who stand out from the regular and the cool in that they seek enlightenment by actually know stuff. By reading books. By appreciating science. Some by actually practising science. By rejecting creationism.
The geek that developed himself sufficiently renounces religion based on reason.
Denouncing the religious and perhaps even ridiculing them is a normal and natural practice. Just like being sceptical about other topics one has reasoned over.
IMHO in trying to protect kids by impeding access to information, one instantly creates a highly desirable alternative to the normal life. Let kids discover stuff and be prepared to educate them on difficult matters. And avoid being moralistic. That's a tough call. But by doing that you don't shy away from stuff that doesn't exist by you defining so. By relying on a technical appliance to banish the uncomfortable issues.
"Christian family friendly tablet." Gimme a break.
MS should understand and tolerate it. After all they always claimed that DOS/Windows wasn't more insecure than other OS but was simply targeted more often because they had the largest installed base.
Smug bastards and now apparently truly blithering idiots I say.
Get tattoos all over your body. Be very cool/hip/whatever and make uncontrolled movements as to emphasise the coolness. Get your "buddy" from some shop you plug to do the hard work -which may well consist in distinguishing red, blue and black wires- for you. Wear crap clothes and be original with one item. Wearing the cap sideways will earn you max. brownie points for originality! Feel as if it is your god sent right to be very lazy in your truck and to automate anything you can. Be "trash" or "chav".
Consider a family row to add a human touch to the whole experience. Reconcile every now and then and then recommence animosities. Be a friggin' sissy about everything.
Now you got the base covered. You should proceed and add as much weight to the car as you can. The crappier the car handles, the better.
Or, you could take the unconventional and unamerican way of doing it and "add lightness" to your truck by removing stuff you don't absolutely need. Improve steering and suspension and make the truck able to actually take corners.
The chicken with almost absolute certainty did not cross the road!
Why didn't the chicken cross the road?
IANAL but with Rhode Island legislation even I could stand a fair shot at getting you behind bars. Not that I would of course. 'Cause that would consist in me getting my finger prints taken at the US border. And I'm generally speaking a jovial sort of chap. If I may say so myself. As it were. So to speak.
Perhaps in this case Linus' comments were secondary to his vim and tertiary to the gesture -which would have been rude in other circumstances and apparently perfectly appropriate in this case- in his statement.
To all conspiracy theorists, that was a quote from a song of some Italian dude on a judicial system. The full translated verse is "Listen, once a a judge like me judged the one who had dictated the Law. First they changed the judge and immediately after they changed the law."
Very 70s, very dark and in some instances very true. I for one remain curious to see if the savant will be sacrificed.
just use a picture of your balls; in theory it should be easier to keep would-be hackers from getting a picture of your balls, and it's only slightly awkward to shove your hand down the front of your pants every time you'd like to use your phone.
Like the idea! Like the idea!
I see however a problem in that the phone surely needs a face to recognize. I therefore would suggest to mimic the famous 70-s hippy image of a phallus with sunglasses and cigarette. We should form a company whereby we complement each other!
Sure, Monsanto are the baddies for extorting farmers. If that 'd be just the usual human competition where arguably one party is pulling every dirty trick in the book, then I'd be fine. But I'm not.
One cannot foresee the effects that GM will have on the longer term and on a global scale. Sure, time will tell. And when time comes knocking, Monsanto's capital will have shifted into manager's pockets, the company will never be able to cover damages, it will fold and another Monsanto will rear up.
It's not so much the dirty games that concern me but more the extraordinary risks contained in GM that worry me. Speeding up or bypassing evolution could leave us all screwed by a couple of idiots saying they could never have known. Indeed they couldn't have.
Legislation shouldn't be there to simply block everything but it should control bastards from taking risks they will never be able to carry. Financial wizardry which can cause global crises and GM which can cause global famine are the two fields to be protected from ruthless idiots.
A while back I saw the same error where some derivative of W/s was argued.
In short:
Power is expressed in Watt and is a measure of what capability. Think of erected penis size or how good a lover you could be.
Energy is expressed in Joule and is a measure of how long power is delivered. Think of how good a lover you actually are (or erected penis size multiplied by time for that matter.)
A huge erected penis isn't useful for copulation if it can't stay that way for long.
A smaller erected penis with more stamina might satisfy more.
However, a very small erected penis perhaps requires a prohibitively long period of time to deliver pleasure as that may induce boredom.
"22 gigawatts of electricity per hour" is pretty much meaningless. Erected penis size divided by time doesn't make any sense, does it?
I really cannot explain the concept of power vs. energy any clearer.
Now that you're armed with correct knowledge of physics you can approach the girl and show off you savoir-fair.
Don't forget flowers and chocolates.
Keep e low nerd profile and limit yourself to 3 pens/pencils in your shirt pocket.
Yes, using shortcuts and lots of login in one line is cute, but its horrible to read, so DONT do it.
Once I met an absolute bastard in the Perl community, sneering at my code because every module was documented. The cheerful dogma "it was hard to write, it should be hard to read" still lingers. Gives you the same demoralising feeling as middle-managers stating that "If it's that easy to understand it must have been dead easy to develop."
Power can be popularly explained as the max burst of energy that can be produced in a very short time.
Interesting. As someone who got top grades in physics I wasn't aware of this "short periods" restriction.
The authors of Wikipedia and several online dictionaries appear to be equally ignorant.
Lucky you're around to put us all right, eh?
I fancy you didn't catch the term "popularly". You could be more specific in telling the world what you don't like about my popularisation and be praised for it.

Yes, but does it do dedup?
Fear not my lad! /dev/null/ is the pinnacle in write only technology. The leading edge, no less.
I can assure you in unambiguous wording that dedup is implicit in this wonderful technique. Indeed, duplicates vanish automatically.

the safest storage is your own high speed server quality RAID 7 write-only drive
There's a readily available device for this that emulates a RAID 7 write-only drive but with better performance. It's called /dev/null.
Did it have prominently mounted headlights?

Is that actually true? Because I read it online in a blog from Rhode Island...
Then it most likely must be. Because the overwhelming majority of the population actually is law abiding. Even in Rhode Island.
Come to think of it, how ever are going to tell a joke on line? The chicken with almost absolute certainty did not cross the road!
I don't need a tablet ... But I almost feel obliged to buy a Galaxy. Out of sheer spite.

There is no better way to convince people that you were born yesterday than to be ignorant of history.
As someone who has seen a few generations of these girls go by, I can say that the BB's of around 15 years ago were less dressed than they are now
Eh, is that a good thang?
I take you treat your pictures, text and whatnot as source code. You may possibly edit these things items.

Make decent projects, use git and get over it. Rsync would work as well but without the SCM capability.
