The personal failings of one man seem mighty inconsequential against the failings of government and large corporations that have been exposed by Wikileaks. The latter definitely does not deserve national and international media hype at the same time that the former is getting buried.
Nintendo games are too much of a chore to play these days. I just don't have the time to put up with slow dialog scrolls that can't be skipped or hours of tutorializing on systems and controls that have been standard for decades. Even if they put their games on other hardware I'd probably avoid their games, and I'm definitely not going to buy their hardware to put up with that crap on maybe three or four games I'd have any interest in for the lifetime of the device.
Nintendo may not need to change to survive, but they definitely need to change to win back customers like me.
I like Windows 8 and don't care how many idiots with mod points think otherwise. With Windows 8.1 they've decided to waste space on the taskbar for a completely pointless Start screen button, so it'll unfortunately have to suck my balls for now.
At the current download speeds it's going to take 2+ years to finish. Pretty inconvenient when you have to download everything to get at even one of the contained files.
Of course I don't actually give a fuck, since I don't have anywhere near enough time to waste on 20 year old arcade games. But if I were the sort to want any of this, it'd be a rather long wait to get anything.
GP is saying that the amount of electricity being "wasted" by the bulbs in the form of heat would be more efficiently turned into heat using a furnace.
I wasn't trying to imply you'd find anything that matters on slashdot. Pretty sure fewer people would read the site if it contained anything like that.
That really depends upon your definition of strong. If strong means strong arm thug for the copyright industries, then Lessig probably isn't the right kind of strong. If strong means possibly having a reasonable, pragmatic approach and not caving to pressure from said industries, Lessig might not do so badly.
I'm going to guess that most (if not all) of these idiots are white themselves. This is why I'm against political correctness, just another way to confuse the ignorant and stupid away from what actually matters.
And then windows 7 will end up with something like a 20% market share as everyone with vista decides that they'd rather stick with it and everyone with xp decides that they still don't want to upgrade. So that means 2010 is FINALLY going to be the Year of Linux(tm), right?
Linux is licensed like Qt, or was before Qt went GPL3. It just isn't a library so you can write stuff on top of it without linking against the kernel and requiring your to release your source. So you don't have much of a point there. Do you really expect Trolltech to give away the store and still be able to put out their product? And I don't see much point in arguing that GTK is more flexible for closed-source commercial apps anyway, can you even name any that use it? Because I can't, but I can definitely name some that use Qt.
This is the most brilliant argument I've ever heard. Have your side hijack the government and fuck it up and then go on about how it needs to be destroyed.
What we fucking need is people running the government who CARE ABOUT GOVERNING! If you gave a fuck about the United States you'd work towards there never being another republican/libertarian moron ever elected anywhere in the country ever again. If you think we're going to get something better by dismantling the federal government and entrenching fascism further you are a fucking moron and do not deserve to vote (or even come out of your mother's basement) ever again.
Yeah, I don't know where the communist bullshit comes from. Ron Paul is a libertarian anarchist nutcase. He is however a racist, or at the very least a racist apologist. He has also built up an insane cult of followers.
And fuck, I can't even finish reading your post. You libertarians are SUCH fucking morons. If you all had your way we'd be going Mad Max on everyone, but you wouldn't get to enjoy it since we'd come to your fucking house.

wont: one's customary behavior in a particular situation.
want: have a desire to possess or do (something); wish for.
Boy, boy, stop fighting with yourself.

Gah, you Capitalists and your pedantry!

Because Windows 8 is better?

I don't see that much difference. What are you talking about?
Simple solution: abolish sales taxes. So easy!
I had no idea!

Cockroaches?
What's it mean "by default"? Is there a big shiny button that says "push me" on it that switches it from standards compliance to microsoft-lockin?
I'd like to nominate Bram Moolenaar as the new maintainer. I hear he's already got his own fork of the only good text editor for emacs...
All incoming calls are free in Europe and I'm pretty sure they don't pay for text messaging.

So you're saying he should "love" this Ashley character and just nail Liara in the butt and then throw her out in the hall without her clothes?
