  1. Re:MOD UP GRANDPARENT! W00T! on Gates Comdex Keynote Shows Plans, Matrix Spoof · · Score: 1

    WTF are you smokeing. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY IN LINUX. there is no problem with linuc, linux worked, its WINDOWS that had the driver error and BSOD.

    And a BSOD is not "recovering gracefully". recovering gracefully would be unloading the current display drivers and loading default ones that are going to work 100% (or at least 99%) of the time. Thats how it should work, and i belive under linux such a thing would happen but i'm not 100% sure.

    Get a clue dude.

    ummm mr. gates had a large sum of money and managed to dominate the desktop market, Who needed top noch marcketing skills to do that? It was good biz tatics. Microsoft has always had bad marketing, but in light of that they were still able to get to where they are due to shady biz pratices and a monopoly.

    linux (at least debian), install (from Cd, or network), deselcet (install and update everying you need), configure and your good to go.

    windows, install, patch, reboot, patch, reboot, ect for about 5+ times. then getting the updates for other software is a pain. AND in this time if your not firewalled your probaly going to have a virus already.

    Lets see, i pick debian linux. so simpley your a moron who refuses to belive widnows plain sucks.

    man people like you, You know its like 10% of the people pay over 50% of the taxes? SO when you give a tax cut to everyone, the top 10% who pay 50% of all taxes collected get the biggest tax cut BECAUSE they pay the most.

    Make sense why rich people get bigger tax breaks now?

    linux firewall:

    Well as it is now they spend 2100000 a year on fuel for their current generator (700000 at 3$), so over 30 years thats $63,000,000 witch is enough to purchase 3 of these reactors... so i figure that the saveings is MORE then enough to pay for a new core (that will be less then 20 million at that)

    So thats what happens after 30 years.

  19. Re:One mo' time... on Kids Kill, Victim Sues Game Maker · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You have some fucked up view. Its the parents own fault pure and simple. GTA is marketed as MATURE as in NOT FOR PEOPLE UNDER 19 YEARS OF AGE! The kids shouldn't have been allowed to buy it at any store (and if they did its that stores fault). If the parent buys it for the kid its the PARENTS responsibilty. rockstar did its duty, got it labled as mature, they just made the damn game, EB or some other store sold it.

    I really do not see how rockstar could be at fault in ANY WAY whatsoever. If i write some violent game or story or something, and somehow some kid gets it, reads/plays it and gets fucked up in the head and goes and kills ppl am i responsible? Even thou i didn't sell/give him the material? Even thou i said that it wasn't suitable for people under 19?

    Its the parents fault, pure and simple. Rockstar is the furthest from fault.

    how ironic, i was at a club performance by Andrew W.K. tonight, and thats exactly what it was like, except you missed ppl jumping on the stage and andrew wk letting em shout into the mike=P the opening band was pretty good to (black halo). I don't give a fuck if they sound like the CD, hell i couldn't really hear the vocals alot of the time, but thats not what i'm there for. And thats something a manufactured band doesn't have. The artical mentions and good charollet or whatever, and thats what i first thuaght when i saw their video... fake... crappy. And sum41 isn't much better.

    At least there are SOME good bands out there, but you have to wade thru the crap out there first.

    And I don't buy CDs, not fucking worth it at all!! (cd 20$ cnd, this concert at a club was 25$cnd.... WTF!) but i sure as hell will go to live performances at clubs/bars/whatever. Thats where the entertainment is
