Erm, and if you went into a busy Windows forum and started posting messages about flaws in Windows, you wouldn't get flamed either?
No, because more often than not Windows forums are populated by other users and not a bunch of asshole jackass programmers that think I'm stupid because I can't write a driver for something that's supposed to work already.
So you're making an assumption based on something you couldn't possibly have ever read which was very briefly summarized for a purpose that has not a fucking thing to do with a goddamned thing you're talking about. I think you helped prove his point.
Well, it's the same way with EVERYTHING. Cars that used to be great now suck. Appliances, game consoles, TV's, food, fabrics, haircuts, power tools, hair dryers, guitars, EVERYTHING.
Yeah, all you can do is connect to the internet, play music, watch DVD's, play the latest and greatest games, assume that everything you buy supports it out of the box, and in general never have to worry about whether something will run on your computer because the distributor compiled it with a slightly newer version than you have. That's just a few reasons why I'll be going back to Windows soon. I'm fucking sick of Linux and its jerkoff fanboys.
You are aware that gag orders are a normal and accepted thing in the course of some legal matters, right? Oh, yeah, that doesn't fit in with your tinfoil whine-assing, so no of course not.
I just run straight Flux. I tried to get it working with Gnome, but my computer sucks HARD so Flux by itself runs best. Kind of limited, not for everyone, but damn good for me.:D
No, no, no. You can't have the users being treated like humans! They're stupid sheep! Just point them in the direction of something and provided they don't accidentally kill themselves along the way maybe someday they'll graps the super-simple interface concept, which is based on the annual rainfall patterns in the tropical regions of Central America. We can't POSSIBLY program things for users. That would mean we couldn't be stuck-up assholes anymore, and where's the fun in that?
Get off it, you fucking loser. "Oh no mommy! He said mean things about Gnome! Make him go home!" Yeah, let's completely ignore valid points about problems with some software. That way, we can be JUST LIKE Microsoft! Fucking moron. Jealous of what? Jealous of a bunch of fatass geek sitting behind a computer jerking each other off over how great their new UI is? Whatever. Fuck this, I'm going back to Windows.
Yes, let's just sweep all of our problems under the rug and pretend they don't exist. FUCK THAT. That's fucking stupid. When there's a problem, YOU FUCKING FIX IT. You fix it, you shut up, and you wait for the next problem to crop up.
That's the attitude of MOST Linux developers, period. End users like myself are seen as pointless and stupid. I'm getting sick of it and, quite frankly, will probably return to Windows soon because of it.
If you're wearing a skirt, chances are you're going ot be carrying a purse as well. That's the traditional place women have carried things for a few hundred years now.
Boo hoo fucking wah quit your fucking bitching and just turn on Flash like everyone else with a computer made after '92. Fucking hell you act like it's a goddamned anal probe with spikes or something.
I think his point was more along the lines of "I didn't know that, and really didn't care to know." It's like seeing pictures of Cindy Crawford taking a dump. Yeah, you know she does but... you'd rather not know about it.
The Polish teams work wasn't so much a crack as it was a deduction of how the machine worked. This played a major part in eventually breaking the code, but it wasn't until the British team figured out the order of the letters on the wheels that ENIGMA was actually broken.
Actually, if you were really important, you'd just disappear. But you're not, so take off the tinfoil hat and join the rest of use in the Land of Those Who Don't Give a Fuck About Gmail's Privacy Shit.
Quit trying to pass off this "bouncing radio waves" bullshit as a real fucking reason. It's fucking paranoia and nothing more. Answer me this. What information does an RFID tag contain? Please, tell me. I'd like to know how someone, not a fucking mass conspiracy, ONE FUCKING PERSON, could tell a goddamned thing about me using an RFID tag. Please, make a good point or fuck off.
I didn't call for it either, retard. Are you the same dipshit from earlier? Seriously, take the classes. With help, a typical fuckmuffin like you could easily jump up into the "mildly retarded" bracket. Fuck off.
If halfway through Casablanca, Bogart had sent a message via flying pig it probably would be interpreted as a metaphor for the relationship between him and... whoever it was. I haven't seen it, but you get my point. Not everything is literal, and not everything has to make sense.
Image enhancement I don't mind. In fact, I LIKED Enemy of the State because it it was JUST beyond that plausibility point, but not so far the other side it was sci-fi territory.
Someone else in this thread made a good point about Independence Day. They'd had the alien technology in a lab in Roswell for 50 years. Don't you think they'd figure out how to interface to the computers by then?
It's silly to argue over something that's not real and not SUPPOSED TO BE REAL. The site you linked mentions Saving Private Ryan. That's a movie where realism was called for, and they got pretty much everything right. I don't expect the same from The Hulk or The Matrix.

"In fact, a lot of what Houser and Rockstar told Game Informer this month makes sense..."
There are only so many ways to say things, and people have a tendency to use things they heard/read recently.
A lot, and most of them are very heavily trafficked.
Nevertheless, losing it falls into the "Tough shit" category along with losing anything else.
Well, what happens when you lose your Gameboy? You bought it, you take care of it. Lose it, tough shit.

Hey! That Fluxbox shot was uncalled for! *pats Flux on the head, in case it heard* ;-)
