Sigh. Every time I hear some AC whine about "you need to go get laid, this is dorky shit" blah blah blah, I conclude they are one of several people:
A) Has never been laid themselves
B) Has been laid, maybe ONCE or TWICE before and doesn't have any real understanding of relationships
C) Is probably an anti-social basement case himself, thus his misunderstanding that people can be geeks, like geek things, and still have social lives.
I have known geek sluts. A guy who had lost count somewhere in the upper double digits, but could still watch a geeky movie and enjoy it with you. My girlfriend is a geek, though she probably wouldn't admit to it. A mental health counselor, doesn't know shit about computers except what I have managed to impart to her, yet she exhibits many "geek" qualities, such as fascination with technology and cartoons/anime and antisocial behavior.
I lost the big V about 10 years ago. What does that have to do with anything?
There was a story on this a while back, about why studios were chosing linux. Having access to the tools and OS code was basically what it came down to. If they needed to optimize or build something from scratch, they could, and it would be easier than doing it for windows, and cheaper than doing it on a Mac.
I dunno, I'm no doctor but I'm willing to bet that being violently raped a few times in prison would certainly help reverse some of that irreversible brain chemistry. If for nothing else I am certain that it would make some of these rapists think twice about what they're doing. Yes they have these urges but after being the victim of their own crime they very well might decide to try harder to resist the urges.
Uh, yeah, explain this one for me? How does violent assault cure mental disorders? That's the stupidest thing I've EVER heard. Have you ever stopped to think they DO think about their actions? Maybe they can't control them. I'd imagine it's like Alcoholism, they know it is bad for them, but sometimes they can't stop it.
I tend to agree but as I get older and see more and more bullshit babying and coddling of the convicted and worrying more about them than their victims I tend to start thinking that these people deserve some of their own medicine. While a murderer is certainly not a rapist is certainly not an arms trafficker, prison rape is brutal enough to sway people's consciences and not normally deadly. So it's ok that priests can rape young boys to deter them from their sins? The threat of prison rape shouldn't be what deters people from crime. That is just cruel and unusual punishment. I'll agree; there are people that slip through the cracks, people who get too many chances and other (more innocent) people have suffered for it. But you can go the other way as well and think of all the people wrongly convicted or given unfair sentences. Even put to death. The more you think about it, the more obvious it is that our justice system sucks. We are really just a few steps above monkies here. Making the system MORE brutal isn't going to fix anything.
I'm sure it was VERY popular among the marketing droids at Belkin.
Marketting is getting to be a pretty scummy job. Not as scummy as being a lawyer, but getting there. If give enough time, Lawyers and Marketters will co-evolve into an even more hideous being that will spell disaster for humanity. Who will save us!?
I don't think you have to force anything. The younger generation today is increasingly inclined to see cartoons as story-telling mediums than an older geration of parents and grandparents. It's a shame it isn't recognized fully by the studios/marketting droids. Even my non-geek friends can find enjoyment in a good Miyazaki film, even if they aren't otaku fanboys/girls.
It's only fitting that they do this on worms first. Maybe they will grow to tremendous proportions and we can start mining their growth factor stuff, ala Frank Herbert. That would rule.
The Specials. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0181836/ There was a character in that movie that had a machine he put on his face to enhance his sense of smell by like 3000. Great movie.
What about Mac zealots? Have they done any damage? They have been around longer than linux zealots. And windows zealots? They dance around with sweaty armpits on a stage "GIVE IT UP FOR ME! COME ON!" (cough, BALMER)
Stupid. Fanatical muslims who plan or carry out attacks are TERRORISTS, fanatical muslims who just hate the US are not.
Zealot != terrorist. If a group of linux users acted in a stupid manner, it would be outside any control of the general community. What, were you expecting to BAN linux or something?
"Kludgy hack" is a pretty harsh term. Emulation isn't a "kludgy hack". Take ZSnes or Snes9x for instance, two great SNES emulators. They are to the point where they have MORE functionality than the original SNES, with features such as net play and increased resolution. Same with the playstation emulators.
Granted, you aren't going to get MORE functionality from a windows-over-linux driver layer emulation, this does bode well for linux. More hardware compatibility is a Good Thing(TM). And no one FORCES you to use it.
If it is functional, then people will use it. If it has obvious problems, then it wont' be used and native drivers will be required.
I think this is a great step forward for Linux. Hardware compatibility is one of linux's weaknesses. The only problem I see with this is a problem that exists in windows. I have a stack of hardware that doesn't have drivers for win2k or XP. From companies that are still in business. Yeah, I probably should spend the money for more expensive stuff, but oh well.
Silly me, I forgot the IANAL disclaimer. I thought it had become so pervasive that it was unnecessary. Ok, Maybe it paid for ONE of the lawyers to do the paperwork for THAT girl.
Uh, WRONG. It's illegal to download as well, but it's too hard for them to catch you. It's easier to get file lists from people who UPLOAD than it is to wait for someone to download copyrighted works from you. And even if they tried that, there is the whole issue of seeding networks with illegal content, which could be construed as entrapment.
I honestly think that the only one winning anymore is the lawyers. If there weren't so damn many of them, it'd be the perfect career. $2000 from that 12 year old girl probably covered the lawyer team costs and whoever is gathering the evidence.
They probably picked those out of a larger list based on what evidence they had at the time, and what records they could get from ISPs. It's probably completely arbitrary.
I can agree with that. The DEC Server 5000 (comparable to an AS4100) has 2 power supplies, each is 450 watts. Monsters. Each one is 2-3 times the size of an ATX PSU. These beasties power a 7 drive SCSI bay (6 7200rpm drives and a tape drive) + CDRom, 2 CPU cards with 2 533mhz EV56 chips. It's loud too. Two giant fans cool the internals, plus whatever is in the PSU's. I'm sure it does a number on my power bill. That and the fact I can't run a lot of x86 only stuff under linux is slowly pushing me to replace it with something else. It's very geeky though.

I can just picture Stephen Hawking in a Vishnu pose with like 6 arms and an orange halo/aura, about to unleash devestation.

Leave old stuff broken, force upgrades. Office anyone? Every version of windows?
Just goes to show that Apple isn't above being a greedy corp. They care more about their bottom line than the security of their product.

You need to look outside the box. The box that is Radio Shack, that is. Now THERE is a store that should be submerging.

I dunno, the server on my floor seems to be chugging away nicely with Debian.
Well, that's what L1 and L2 (and L3 if you have it) are for, to minimize the slowdown from RAM.
A big bulldog with AMD painted on it's side marches up to a pile of P4's and urinates on them.
