Mayhaps you need a bit better judgment when choosing a wife? My girlfriend and I both enjoy our "me" time, away from each other. Enough so that we are moving into a larger house, and will have separate offices for us to do our own geeking (or whatever) in. That's not to say we don't spend a lot of time together, it's just that we respect and know each other enough to know we need our time apart, too.
Yes. But the Unix philosophy is a very secure foundation. Lots of components, each do just one job, and do it well. We can secure those, and then the whole chain becomes secure. With the undocumented API's and other crap that Windows has in it, not to mention it's monolithic and completely integrated design ("I swear, we can't remove Internet Explorer, it's integral!"), it's got many more places where things can and do go wrong, and "fixes" ripple throughout the system. Would you rather try to secure a screened in bunkhouse that has a bad lock, or a concrete building that has a bad lock?
My parents didn't even give me my first car. I've had to pay for everything except the bare necessities, and everything else was always treated as a gift, and NEVER something that we deserved.
As much as it sucked then when my friends had nice cars and all their gas and insurance paid for and all the newest video games and such, I thank my parents for instilling that sense of value in me.
I've worked with IBM contractors... for every one of you that was competent, there were 5 that shot the shit all day, got in late and left early. Hopefully IBM doesn't get rid of too much of the wheat while cleaning out the chaff.
So you're saying that a guy can't be raped by a woman, unless she sticks something inside of him? Just because his body responds doesn't make a man always a willing participant.
Your papers are hosted on a site that has animated gifs on the front page that say "Violence is not child's play" and "Help us stop the merchandising of violence to our children", and I'm supposed to believe that your "research" isn't biased? Just how stupid do you think we are? Also, most of the studies only establish a correlation, not a causation relationship, if anything truly useful can be gleaned from self-selecting studies. Anyone who has murdered anyone else has likely walked from one place to another. Does that mean walking is indicative of murderous intent? I'm sure you have your cause, and you believe in it, but you're an idiot.
Your friend is fraudulently obtaining his degree then. He should know that no one "sign" can exist in a vacuum, and especially given the good points of him being a good student, this is just someone having fun. It's the same as any Zero Tolerance type policy, it allows no for leeway of judgment, only this time it's voluntary because people are stupid.
Completely OT, but it was a bitch getting that to work. Basically, IIRC, it was a hack that made a "portal" from one place to another, which made it seem as if one level was above another. But you couldn't make multiple floors as is currently understood in 3D modeling.
Great. Languages that work on only one platform, and are locked into the whims of a single vendor that has a history of monopolistic anti-consumer behavior. Give me a little more work to get my system available to 10-20% more people any day.
sudo doesn't run by default whenever someone runs a program called "install.exe". Even if install.exe doesn't need the permissions, Windows "helpfully" elevates it. If that's not a mis-design, I don't know what is. And I guarantee you someone is going to start calling their program executable install.exe so that it runs with higher privileges.
So, when I click on "Add New Programs", it comes up with a list of thousands of programs that I could install? No, you say?
I know you were refuting the GPP's point, because you technically can add a program through there, but you almost never do in practice. All programs have their own installers. The Ubuntu package manager takes care of finding the program you want, getting it and installing it. Windows will just install whatever disk or install.exe file you point it at. There is no comparison.
I love how USB devices in Windows are tied to the port you plug them into. Plug your mouse into a different port on the laptop? "OMG IT'S A NEW DEVICE BRAIN HEMORRHAGE" says Windows. Reinstall yet another copy of the same driver... somewhere, then it eventually works. Seriously... how stupid is that?
Unless you pay $20 for a barely-working hacky program of some sort, that may or may not be from a reputable company, and may or may not contain viruses.
So, as long as I don't kill anyone, I can do anything else that I like and still be considered worthy of respect at my passing? Rape, steal, assault? Awesome.
I know that I personally have had Excel eat data on a save, and be unable to open the file after crashing during the save process, making the file hundreds of times larger than it should be.
It's not that we don't understand what DRM does. We understand it better than anyone. And DRM's ONLY REASON FOR EXISTING is to limit use. That's all it does. We're not talking "legitimate" vs "illegitimate" use, as that varies from place to place, we're talking completely artificial limitations on use because someone decided it should be so. There aren't any benefits to consumers, society as a whole, anyone except the people who create the DRM and try to confuse other people into thinking that they're being limited for their own good.

You mean, Apple hates handicapped people? They're such bastards. ;)
Ornithology, not ontology ;)
But... does that make a parrot an ornithological ontologist?

Rather, it's what they're trying to do. We'll have to wait to see if it's what they actually did, and I sincerely hope that it's not.
Hell, half the people in my office wear black leather jackets over their dress shirts coming into the office. We must be a clan of killers...
I don't think that Ubuntu would even HAVE an SKU. It's not like there's any stock of the software to keep...
It's just morons who never had a real job latching on to a new buzzword. Synergy much?

Don't quit your day-job, kid.
Yeah. He only helped with weaseling us into Vietnam. That's nowhere near as bad as being one of Nixon's crooks.

Intensive? WTF? Does he sit at the google homepage and just refresh it every second or two?
Given how often it's done, I'd say a qualified "very"
