Then came Ubuntu. It was up to date and came with apt-get.
Come over to sid. It's "unstable" in terms that it changes a lot. Sid is almost ALWAYS newer than Ubuntu. Because every 6 months Ubuntu draws a line in the sand and says "Nope, we're stopping here." Sure you get bug fixes and can go through and find a ppa that backports. As long as that ppa developer doesn't stop. Then you find another PPA. But it has a different naming convention and it's a (@#* nightmare.
Plus, Debian leaves my system the way I WANT IT. If I do an apt-get dist-upgrade I won't find XFCE replaced by Unity. - And to grandparent you don't get sudo and apt? It's nothing short of black magic. They debian developers have pretty strict guidelines. And now they even had a kfreebsd kernel that has zfs built in, all with apt-get. If I'm trying to compile something on my own and I get a "can't find libXXX.so.4" 99% of the time I don't even look for it before doing a "apt-get install libXXX4".
I went through years of RPM hell when friends tried to tell me "Oh you really should try out linux." Then I discovered debian on my own. (Mainly because it was started at Purdue). And... it was like the clouds cleared and it was amazing. Want something? Apt-get install. Don't want something? Apt-get remove/purge.
All of that and more could be paid for by reducing our military spending to levels even remotely comparable to other countries (either total or per capital).
There are other religions in the world than Christianity....and even in Christianity, so many different denominations and sects, hard to keep track of them all.
I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said, "Stop! Don't do it!" "Why shouldn't I?" he said. I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!" He said, "Like what?" I said, "Well, are you religious or atheist?" He said, "Religious." I said, "Me too! Are your Christian or Buddhist?" He said, "Christian." I said, "Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?" He said, "Protestant." I said, Me too! Are your Episcopalian or Baptist? He said, "Baptist!" I said, "Wow! Me too! Are your Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord? He said, Baptist Church of God!" I said, "Me too! Are your Original Baptist Church of God or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?" He said, "Reformed Baptist Church of God!" I said, "Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915?" He said, "Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915!"
I said, "Die, heretic scum!" and pushed him off.
Plus, new religions popping up all the time!
Has anyone shown up recently that hasn't gotten a "cult" label? Even Scientology is pushing it.
What's the difference between a cult and a religion? Time.

Look at Apple just releasing new hardware to force you to update! You sheep. Android is a FREE and OPEN platform. Why would anyone be locked down by iOS is beyond me. Keep it up Android and Android hardware suppliers, eventually you'll overrun the dark walled garden that is Apple. </sarcasm> (anything else I missed out on the typical Apple Bashing?) - My Optimus V doesn't technically have the latest released for it but Cyanogenmod and a root (Mind you rooting it took much longer than jailbreaking my iPod Touch) took care of that. But not everyone is this tech savvy, my girlfriend is still waiting on her update. And this is why people buy iOS devices for themselves, friends or family.
I want to know how broad this covers. 31 y/o having sex with a 5 y/o? 18 y/o having sex with a 17.9999999999 y/o? Drunk college kid peeing on a dumpster at 2 am "exposing" himself? What about the 16 y/o that sent nude photos of her/himself to another 16 y/o. One getting charged with creation of and the other distribution of 'child pornography.
In its current form most states "sexual offenders list" is dang near useless.
And if there is one thing mothers that love L&O: SVU hate to hear, it's that their daughter/son is more likely going to get abused by her brother or boyfriend than that creepy looking guy down the street.
Did they build in all the easter eggs? Siri took a ton of work by multiple developers. You may be able to replicate 80% of the functionality. Heck, the original iPod had 80% of the functionality of every other mp3 player on the market. It was the 20% that set Apple apart.
I doubt they even used a full bike. They probably just set up a bench of a tire and mechanical brakes and connected it to normal brake handles that were actuated by some sort of servo. Then right next to it the 'wireless' version. The tires were probably driven by a motor so that they could setup and run hundreds of hours of back to back automated tests.
It's not like they just threw a bunch of guys on bikes and said "So, how does this feel, lets tweak that carrier frequency..."
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Woz has done more circuit writing and code writing ingenuity than you will ever hope to accomplish in your life. The Apple and Apple II were more or less him, by himself. Hand drawn circuits were included in tech manuals. Some of the stuff he had to do to get his code into memory is nothing short of magic to most.
Stuff like this is what makes Woz tick. He's a bit of an extroverted geek that loves to play. Read up on some of the stories on the original Apple and Apple II. The stuff the man did with chips and coding was nothing short of genius.
He went out into the iPad lines and did magic tricks. Why? Because he could.
Steve Jobs was driven by perfection of design. Features would not be implemented 95%, it had to be perfect. Woz is driven by fun. He loves practical jokes, he loves being creative. I can't describe him other than he is just Woz.
What he does with his life is my envy and should probably be the envy of almost every slashdotter out there. Imagine if you had enough money to just camp out before Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora/Apache/[Random FOSS Project]/Microsoft/Apple made a new release. Or could just.... do what ever the hell you wanted. He could sit at home, in his mansion and own everything Apple ever released but he doesn't.
Launchy on Windows and Linux. Alfred on OS X. No mouse needed to launch stuff. I couldn't imagine going back (and hate having to use a computer with out them installed).
I have Virgin Mobile. "Unlimited" data & texting and 300 minutes. $25/month (They just raised it to $35 unless you were grandfathered in). Optimus V that I paid $150 for.
I've rooted it and used it as my internet provider when on vacation with any problems. I use VOIP to get around the 300 minutes a month. For $25 it's absolutely worth it. And since it's prepaid it's $25 + sales tax on $25. Not "$25/month" + 911 fees + a ton of other fees so that it comes out closer to $40/month.
There are a TON of older computers that people still run with PCI slots. They would work just fine repurposed as a HTPC but until now there was no hardware acceleration available. The XBMC Forums will have someone come along that is looking for the "Best" PCI option and usually that involves either an SVIDEO or VGA connector. Some new TVs will have a VGA but not all of them.

Deb Stable was years behind everything else.
Then came Ubuntu. It was up to date and came with apt-get.

New York State also decided to kill 2 birds with 1 stone and also just released their "Catholic Church Locator" app.

Dangerous times lay ahead when asking your appliances anything about tossed salad.
He could. But he has this irrational paranoia about doing anything ON the computer because the guy may be watching it.
Personally If I had autossh already installed I'd open a terminal window do a 'nohup autossh' and get a tunnel going and THEN start tinkering.
And installed it BEFORE it was stolen.
I run 3 versions of prey. 1 controlled by the website. 2 controlled by a web page one that scps me the results and another e-mails.
I also run Orbicule. I've tested it numerous times (Nothing sucks more than having a solution that doesn't work when you need it.)
I ALSO run autossh with a reverse tunnel to SSH, if it has internet, I can ssh to it.
The computer also has "guest" enabled, so if it's stolen it's not a paperweight to the person using it and hopefully they will try to.
I take it you've never actuated a phone before?
it's probably a lot less painful...
Says the person not on the bike.
