We're all braindead, because we get tired of listening to our music one album at a time. Personally, I'm of the school that thinks endless repetition kills your creativity. Maybe we like having to adapt to a new sequence every time we listen to our music. That doesn't sound braindamaged to me.
We don't need anything beyond a stick.
Of course, there will be treacherous governments that equip their armies with the much more advanced board-with-nail-in-it. Violating all sorts of treaties with their sophisticated military might.
Now, if only my webhost would have a way to prevent people from forging email to appears as if it originated from my domain......great fun for someone who makes his money selling art and shirts through his website, nobody on AOL will be able to visit my site because some spammer forger email.
As an addition, a human-readable file detailing all of the files an install plants in the various directories of your system would be a nice bonus as well.
One might envision an "advanced" uninstall mode that allows you to select precisely what files to keep and which to delete. By implementing XML in this, you could easily separate the various files into sensible categories (such as: program data, User Data, executable etc. etc.)
Does that make sense? I'm not an OS engineer afterall.
yes, now if only someone would listen to my obviously magnificent idea, we'd be one step further in making life easy for the common user wanting to use linux;)
disclaimer: I don't really think I'm smart, but this just seemed like the simplest solution.
Wouldn't it just be much easier if the Distro would provide a small xml file detailing it's specific file/directory structure, and we'd be in the clear. no?
Download.com is an insidious and very vile site to begin with. Sure, they have quite a lot of normal, decent shareware there, but it barely makes up for the vast amounts of mal- and spyware they host.
Not to mention the oh-so-easily abused rating system, and obvious sponsoring BY spyware programmers...
And with such a reliable sounding name, the average Joe just thinks "hey it's from Download.com how could it possibly be bad? right?"
And the next thing you know, your computer illiterate relative is on the phone with you again griping about how their browser is going places they don't want, they're being spammed to death with ads on their screen, and their computer has slowed to a crawl.
I motion we make spyware programming punishable by slow castration and death under international law...
Vader (pronounced Vah, not Vey) is dutch for father yes. Darth doesn't mean anything beyond the meaning attributed to it in the movie, I assume it's a Sith honorific.
ehm, I was referring to my OWN typo. not yours.
Trust me, your post had better grammar than quite a few posts made by people to whom english is supposedly their first language.
(it's my second)
interesting. especially when you keep in mind that you don't HAVE to accelerrate ALL the way, you can strike a balance between the time it takes you to get there and the amount of energy required to go there.
you might decide to take two weeks to get there, and significantly decrease the fuel requirement.
I think you're on to something there...
what a wonderful place the world could be.
you think we can convince RedHat to press 3.000.000 cardboard-sleeved 1 CD editions of their flavour of linux? I'm sure at least SOME people would pay for support after installing that.

it's not even losing anti-mass? such a pity :(
allritey. I've always wanted to contribute.

There's sure to be at least one moron that'll fry himself.

oh damnit. preview man, preview. Jewellery. (though websters' seems to say Jewelry is acceptable as well) gawd.
not to mention that the rest of the metal in silver jewelerry is copper.
Actually, I though Mithril was -not- heat conductive. afterall, it's kinda designed for fighting all sorts of fiery foes.
actually, I think my old dos "hello world" program was pretty much infallable...
one would assume, that like the rest of the rover, it's built to accomodate the heat deformation.

can you please explain to me how the surface temperature is relevant to a device that uses no moving mechanical, nor electronic parts.
...but I see a wonderful opportunity for all sorts of shocking pranks and behaviour ^_^
...but can anybody tell my how this has -any- bearing, or impact. what so ever on our everyday lives?
maybe people should spend less time working on this and develop something useful. like, say, clean and affordable energy.
MONK: we're the most powerful country in the w- *fzzzit* WTF?"
MONK: LOLZ

now go play soldier of fortune you heretic!

maybe next they'll force computer manufacturers to offer alternative OSses on computers, to open up competition and lower prices.
