Woah - why the hell are you grepping your entire drive? wtf?
If you have so much trouble with your files that you can't even narrow down a recursive grep, then you shouldn't be running linux.
And yes, I realize that you're trying to grep the entire drive to compare it to a desktop search, but knowing where your files are + limited recursive grep is why linux doesn't need one of those.
Also, grep CAN handle word documents. It's called 'strings':
Why anyone would ever actually believe that you couldn't return an LCD (or laptop) with a dead pixel. This is a manufacturing defect, plain and simple. Every customer expects there will be NO dead pixels, so my guess is that proving to a court of law that a dead pixel is a de facto breach of various implied warranties (and probably express warranties that come with the unit as well) would not be difficult.
If everyone had believed that when LCDs started, they would've never gotten off the ground. 15-inchers would still cost several thousand dollars (with all those dead-pixel returns, they never would sell at the scale they do now), and CRTs would still be the only viable monitor option. Get your head out of your ass and learn about the manufacturing process before you moan.
People that don't know "mozilla" or "firefox" know "Netscape".
Yeah, and they also know that Netscape is Old News. Besides geeks, nobody hears about them anymore. You might as well say that t's the browser preferred by Millie Vanillie.
Uh..AMC tickets aren't overpriced - just go during the day. Up until at least 5PM the tickets are only $5.50: not too bad.
And all you people whining about the commercials: Just go to the movie TEN MINUTES LATE! It's not that hard! You see maybe one or two commercials, the previews, and then the movie.
As far as I knew, patents are there to protect the inventors not the public.
In the short term, yes. In the long term, the purpose of patents is to help the public by causing more inventors to create things. In software, we have enough invention without patents that the overhead from the tremendous number of ridiculous patents would not be worth any gain.
b gets you ad revenue. a does not (well, it does if people read the stories, but not so much as a. And I think a lot of people just look at the summaries.
Yes, but he referred to "rumors on the internets", so he was assuredly referring to the one we all know and love, rather than any government ones or internet2. Secret department of defense networks aren't exactly the rumor-mill kings of the world.
Even if you just went for the action, I fail to see how this could satisfy - the action sequences were terribly choreographed, incredibly obvious, and completely unoriginal.
Not everyone has seen shitloads of action movies and spots unoriginal action scenes from a mile away. Don't assume that everyone else is as jaded as you apparently are, and don't assume that just because something is unoriginal it can't be good.
IMO, RE2 was good if you were expecting campy as hell action, and i was. Not everyone was expecting "OMG THOSE WERE THE BEST ACTION SCENES EVER >OR@!!!!!1!!".
Just because it's the only definition that doesn't wiggle and slide doesn't mean that it's the best definition.
However, I would argue that the real argument is not in defining humanity, but defining what makes a person. An embryo isn't a person, but it is a human. Somewhere in the womb it becomes a person. The defining point is a wiggly one, but one can always take it safe and go with brain activity as an indicator.
Last time I downloaded and tried Knoppix, it threw my Radeon 9000 video card into unaccelerated VESA fallback mode, which I don't find comfortable even for 2D apps such as OpenOffice.org.
Uh..that's becuase it's Knoppix. They do shit like that. You'd need to get a real distro to get better drivers.
Adobe makes money of photoshop by giving out cheap copies to students. When the students who have learned on photoshop get jobs, their companies buy photoshop. It's worked that way for a while.
And the 1/6th-cost program of Photoshop exists - that's what PS Elements is for.
The question is, which is faster: the files unpacked, using the OS's file system; or Doom 3 handling the unpacking of resources? My guess is id probably did a good job and had a good reason for packing the files.
Uh, yeah, they had a good reason: to save disk space! That and to make it a little harder for people (who don't know what they're doing) to modify things, perhaps. But mainly to save disk space. It's quite possible that D3 doesn't load quite everything from the zip that it needs before it starts running, to save on startup time. Although I agree that it will probably be all cached.

You're using KDe - that's your problem. Use a REAL window manager, like Fluxbox.
I've yet to see, however, a LCD that makes me want to replace my beasts.
I read that as "I've yet to see, however, a LCD that makes me want to replace my breasts."

Or you could just use "grep" . . .
sucks total dogs balls and then eats the dogs shit and takes 3 days of hard work to then shit out that shit which then stinks of crap.
What. The. Fuck.
I pass no judgement on your opinion, but seriously, wtf?

Wow this is pretty major. Unpredictable or overlooked? At any rate I ghope they're ok.
Yeah. Who would've thought that Id Software's creation could do so much damage? I guess that's what happens when you open-source an engine . . .
Wait . . oh.
Maybe next time they should leave behind Homer Simpson
Wait - so France will not have a better idea? You're completely sure? Absolutely positive?
Well.
In that case, could you enlighten me on this new system of logic you seem to possess? I wasn't aware that High Probability == Certainty.

I think that's covered by the "Learn how to spell" extension. You may have heard of it from elementary school.

Uh
My guess would be that existing computer-based systems are generally safer or they wouldn't have been deployed.
My guess is that they're cheaper and more effective. I'm not sure how much safety was considered.
