screw all these whingers bleating about their pathetic use of computer for firefox and email - no one gives a crap that you only need a joke of a computer. just leave this stuff to us REAL MEN who use our large processing power.
I placed an order yesterday for a dual quad core xeon with 24gigs of memory and 10k rpm scsi drives. and that's just to tide me over until my real machine arrives (waiting on availablity of the 6 core systems - my project can't wait).
mind you i'm using this to model the process of extracting resources from about 1000sqr km of dirt.
there's no consequences to having h.264 in unbuntu other then shit working like it should. you OSS hardliners just live in some weird parallel reality.
haha, wtf? throw it's weight behind google?!?! that's like saying that mouse should throw it's weight behind that elephant.
and news flash for you - linux is STILL the underdog, you've got next to no market share on the desktop which is ubuntu's target market. this illusion that linux is somehow winning is hurting you all more then helping, and frankly this is a brillant move by ubuntu because it'll mean their shit finally works with the most popular video format on the web.
are you sure about that though? think of how more impractical things are being blind then deaf.
want to cross the road? if you deaf, no worries just look both ways. if your blind, your fucked unless you are lucky enough to find one of those beeping crossings, but then again, your blind so how do you find one? you can also drive a car if your deaf, but your completely boned if your blind.
almost no one burns oil for electricity anymore, they burn coal. i don't know why all the fucktards above are talking about oil spills. it's not related.
everyone knows we are running out of ip4 space?! i guess.. in the same way the universe will eventually run out of energy. in a few 10's of billions of years.
And a black market? how the fuck is that going to happen with telco's in control. sure maybe they'll charge more for a public ip, big deal.
"so basically a private corporation, somewhere, probably has much more info on you than leave aside your government, but even your parents ever may have hoped to know about you."
more then my mother knows about me? really dude up or lower the dose of your paranoid pills, because the shit ain't working.
when a private company abuses your private data, you can complain to the government, they can do something about it. when the GOVERNMENT abuses your private information, who are you going to complain to????
that's the difference and that's why your little "omgz corps. so evil" fails.
show me this $15,000 device. oh i see there's no such thing, all he needs is light exercise he can get for FREE without any equipment, much less a fucking stupid wii.
" the guy's physician prescribed it, and as other posters have pointed out, it's a lot cheaper than sessions with an actual therapist"
doctors recommend lots of things, it doesn't mean we as the tax payer have to foot the bill for it. while sessions with a pyshio are more expensive, they will also be a lot more effective and get this bozo off disability faster. we are already paying for him to do nothing, paying for his fucking wii is adding insult to injury.
I can't believe you can't smell the bullshit that this reeks of.
this is one of the key issues i've had with global warming to date, people HATE you questioning and got totally hostile. that isn't science at all, it's religion.
I agree 100% with you. the haters are just jealous, end of story.
I work at a company with a market cap of 1B+, and we also receive bonuses, and i also agree it doesn't make you cut any corners. TFA completely fails to realise is a lot of these bonuses are tied to KPI's that you don't have direct control over anyway - they aren't like a sales quota.
no one is going to pick your stupid theora codec, there's no reason to no matter how many slashdot stories you post or how hard you cry about the injustice of mpeg.
VP8 is the only contender, and the only chance that's got is if google pushs it in very smart ways for the next 5 years.
I to think the experiment is horribly flawed but not for that reason. offering more money doesn't decrease motivation at all, offering more money with NO RISK OF FAILURE is a demotivator.
TFA just wants to push buttons and pander to popular opinion, but the reality is that it's more complex then "omgz wall st guys are lazy". i'd be shocked if anyone on wall st worked less then 14 hrs a day.
we are a resources based economy, how will the greens balance their environmental policies with, well, everything else? so far i haven't seen them willing to budge on a single thing, and they just take sides with what ever environmental flavour of the month is.
You are of course right that this is helping labor buy votes in the senate. however i'm not at all convinced that they wouldn't go ahead anyway. Labor are the bigger bunch of control freaks compared to the liberals, you have to remember almost his whole cabinet are union bosses, they like to have everything their own way. The Howard government commisioned research into filtering options, where a national filter like the one labor is proposing was ruled out for techincal reasons. thats when the filtering software program was introduced.
if both either party could swing it, i think they would, just looking at the facts Labor want it that little bit more.

number of devices out there that support h.264 - millions and millions.
number of devices produced that support vp8 - none.
I declare h.264 the winner.

how are the poor marketing people meant to sell it if they can't dress it up? fo shame...
2/10 for the outrage, you are let down by lack of car analogy

if i was you i wouldn't start an argument based on the good judgement of government officals.....

if they found life, numbnuts.
so they'd need to launch a satellite and put it into mars orbit. yes very simple solution your guys have there...
not after however many million years since it's impact.
no no, lets all blame the evil corporation and the evil oil!!! don't let facts or evidence get in the way of our witch hunt!
are you fucking retarded? BP is never going to dodge this because it's so high profile and there's heavy political pressure to make them pay.

you don't need a wii to perform rehab exercises. What this idiot should do is go see a physio so he is shown the CORRECT exercises.
