I know I'm breaking the oath laid forth in my sig... but fuck it. It's a sig.
Those manufacturers don't conform to the precise specs the industry wants, so off with their heads? How about what the consumer wants? Oh, right, we don't count.
You're right. You don't. You don't fucking matter in this dispute one tiny fucking bit. This is a contract dispute. Nothing more. Nothing less. Shit like this happens a dozen fucking times a day, only now it's something that the average dorkass Slashdotter cares about. No, goddammit, I'm not going to call it something else. I'm fucking sick of morons like you being pedantic cuntrags when it comes to the term 'piracy'. In case you don't fucking know, a word can have more than one goddamned meaning you fucking idiot. Then again, most Slashdotters are so fucking uptight I'd be surprised if they could parse the same sentence two different ways.
PUNCH CARDS? I WISH I had punch cards when I was your age, fuckin' whippersnapper. When I was YOUR age I had to count on ANTS. That's right. ANTS. I lined those fuckers up in binary. Red ants for 1, black ants for 0. I INVENTED distributed computing when I got the red ones to attack the black ones. I was doing crowd simulations before those Weta fuckers stole my idea. You don't even want to know what I used when I was a KID. FINGERS. That's right. I programmed my first OS using nothing but my fingers. I had 10 BITS of memory. You think your idiot ass could program an ENTIRE operating system in TEN BITS? I think not. Damn kids.
I don't even want a fucking numper pad on mine. I'm about to get one of those Cooler Master Keyboard Q's. Laptop style keyboard for your desk. Could do with a bit of separation for the F-keys, but fuck it. It works and looks good. Everything I could ask for.
Slight correction, it's how the minority of society infect the majority of society. Fashion trends are a prime example. A small group of elitist pricks convince a larger group that they're not as cool because they don't wear the same clothes. The larger group, trying to fit in with the 'cool' people, jump on the bandwagon and start talking shit about things they themselves wore no more than a week ago. In general, this is healthy behaviour. When you get to the point where you're arguing over which fucking TEXT EDITOR is better you really need to go outside.
If you're doing device drivers in an interpreted language, you're a fucking moron. Conversely, if you program a web-based app in C, you're a fucking moron. Wow, different tools for different jobs... who'd have though?
It goes hand-in-hand with the social ineptness of the typical geek. An inability to fit in with the majority of society gives way to a need to fit in with SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE, and the tools one uses are the most apparent thing. This doesn't apply only to geeks though. Think about the old woman with fifty cats, or the obsessive housewife that fills every room in her house with frickin' Beanie Babies despite not having any (or perhaps BECAUSE she doesn't have any) kids. Same thing, different level.
Blame the OpenGL consortium for that one. When MS finally pulled their head out of their ass and started moving DX in the right direction, OGL was left wondering where the hell everyone went.
It would never happen. The GPL is anathema to software businesses. Every release you'd have some dickhead forking Windows, not for any sane technical reasons, but simply because they don't like MS. It's fucking stupid. A much more realistic, although still far from probability, would be MS adopting BSD but seeing as how they already have a solid kernel to work with I don't see where that would do them a fucking bit of good.
Umm... I don't have Maya. I fucking hate Maya. Whatever the case, there are tons of places that use Maya on Windows. Mostly game companies and small VFX houses (not all VFX are in movies. Have you watced TV lately?).
"Those of us that get sexually excited by compiling kernels and tend to play with ourselves while reading Linus Torvalds interviews are doing okay, but the people that use computers for things other than making their online penis bigger are completely fucked."
OP is a tard. Just ignore him and anyone else that likes to describe people as 'lemmings' or, more likely, 'sheeple'. These dumbasses don't realize they're just parroting the same moronic bullshit someone else said first... exactly like the lemmings they supposedly despise.
It's the subject line of the parent, not my subject line. If you'll go back and re-read the original post you'll notice that the poster made reference to 'elsewhere' in the second part of the post. Yes, the first part of his post referred specifically to Africa but the second part did not. Please, learn to read and comprehend the meaning of paragraphs before you post.
There's nothing astounding about it. Science fiction is still part science. Without a plausible explanation for how things work, it merely becomes fantasy.
Fuck, I'm a dork for making that statement. I'm gonna go outside and visit the Big Blue Room with People for a while...
They work by literally warping the spacetime around the vessel. This decreases the apparent distance the ship has to travel. Theoretically, warp drives are possible but if Hawking hasn't invented them yet I don't think we're going to see any for a while.
See, that's the kind of shit you learn reading Slashdot. I'm going to go shoot myself for being a massive fucking dork now.
I knew some dickhead like you was going to try and turn my statement into some bullshit like this. First of all, I never fucking mentioned Africa. I brought no location into this at all. YOU are the one that did that. My statements are just as applicable to India, China, Mongolia, the US Midwest, Mexico, and basically anywhere else in the world whose entire livelihood depends on basic agriculture.
Simple minded? Why is that? I find absolutely nothing simple minded about it. I sure as hell couldn't raise a cow worth a fuck. My entire fucking point was that different people have different cultures and not everything that we have is something anyone else wants or needs.
As a taxpayer you also fund the police department, fire department, city council, public parks, schools, and various other things you might not pay for. Are you going to bitch about that too?
Seriously dude, shut the fuck up. It's a motherfucking catchphrase, not goddamned scripture. Shut the fuck up and go back to jerking off over the GNU homepage, mmmkay?

I love you too. Are you the same tard that's been following me around from topic to topic complaining about how much I suck? Please, get a life.

I also don't want a numBer pad.

If you can't develop fast in Python, you're a fucking moron. Even my idiot ass has made usable programs in Python.
Assembler? You pussy. I write in raw machine code, DIRECTLY TO MY HARD DRIVE, using a magnetized nail. Fuckin' know-it-all youngster.

Anyway, it's a joke. Laugh.
what?
1. Yeah, he probably is.
2. It's a fucking slang term. Get off your fucking pedantic dumbass high horse.
3. You're an idiot.
So really what you mean is...
"Those of us that get sexually excited by compiling kernels and tend to play with ourselves while reading Linus Torvalds interviews are doing okay, but the people that use computers for things other than making their online penis bigger are completely fucked."
OP is a tard. Just ignore him and anyone else that likes to describe people as 'lemmings' or, more likely, 'sheeple'. These dumbasses don't realize they're just parroting the same moronic bullshit someone else said first... exactly like the lemmings they supposedly despise.
Well, at least he didn't try Dillo or Lynx. He has that much sense...
I'm sorry to inform you that your argument makes too much sense. Please hand over your Slashdot membership card and vacate the premises.
Thank you,
