thats rubbish. america wasn't anything like russia or somalia 50 years ago and it didn't have so much insane litigation either. your just pointing out extreme's, it doesn't mean we should be putting up with this ligigation happy bullshit.
doom2 at 55, WoW at 22... one of the worst lists ever. nothing like wow has been seen before, people have DIED from lack of sleep and food playing it. doom2 was similar wasting a good chunk of my childhood playing it multiplayer.
solar is a useless energy producer for anything other then remote stations which have no other choice.
you can't just turn the sun on when you need it is the first problem, 2nd is the fact the batteries requried are highly toxic and the 3rd is the cost only just breaks even over the life of the solar cells - hardly a cost effective solution.
"Now matter how you produce it, evenif a miracle in effciency happened, at the end of the process any ethanol produced is going to be dissolved in water. Drying it out is going to eat the efficiency."
i see thats why last time i went to the drags, the cars didn't start due to all that dissolved water . get a clue, ethanol IS a great fuel, it's just america's retarded idea of using corn to please their farmers has put everyone off it.
it's got a lot going for it in that existing cars can run off it, it burns clean and our current supply chains can use it with very little alterations at all. the only challenge is to produce enough to run everyones car off, which is what this grant money is going towards developing - super high producing plants. This also addresses you point of water use and land use - they don't matter if you can pack enough growth into smaller area's.
you didn't even read the damn headline did you, you twat. they are developing new non food varities of plants to produce, corn wasn't even mentioned you idiot.
right that's why linux is on every desktop. seriously, RIAA org's don't need to give away free music, just reasonibly priced and drm free. if they opened a website selling music for 50c a song drm free i'd be there in a flash. lots easier then messing around on torrents. they could win on convience alone
huh, ports isn't a BSD thing there's plenty of linux distro's that use ports.
and how do i not compile a dependency? i have a program i try to compile, it errors on a missing package, i have to download said package and compile it as well. Hence i have to compile dependant packages to get the package i really want to work. and if my dependency also needs other packages to work... well you see how the whole thing spirals into a big cluster fuck.
Last i checked i found the precompiled package list to be very lacking in current versions, it also screwed up upgrades on me rendering things useless short of removing and starting again.
Slackware... ironic that it's too much effort

Slackware 12.0 Released

The problem with slackware i found was i had to find and compile every single stupid dependency out there. Some people might find it "l33t" but i would suggest they haven't had enough experience with that kind of crud to be completely over it.
if it still lacks a ports or packaging system that allows easy to update packages and conflict resolution, it's not worth the time.

why would i give my cc to a russian run illegal mp3 site?
i doubt they would have had it in a state they could use yet. something like that would require an understanding of completely new fields of physic's, it wouldn't suprise me if it took them a good 100 years to figure it out.
wrong. i've say there would be a fair chance that they would be close to humanoid in shape and i shall list the reasons
1. opposible thumbs with more then 3 fingers. you can't create advanced technology without hands to manipulate things.
2. legs atleast 2 of them. they have to be mobile in order to have gathered the required materials to advance, legs are the best option for this.
3. breath air or some air like gas. it's highly unlikely an advanced species could evolve due to the lack of fire and electricity being doable under water. aside from the fact that an under water creature is going to have fins not hands.
that is why anything that advanced is going to be atleast human like in appearance. sure mor hands, legs exoseleton or whatever but they WILL share features with us.
why would it be strange? are you saying the aliens have found the magic bullet to prevent all technology from having fuck ups? i don't care how advanced you are, if anything, the more avdanced technology you have the MORE prone it is to breaking.
"when I see someone try to articulate what "network neutrality" means, that they want legislated, they end up with a set of words which, if they were a law, would prevent me from blocking spammers and DDOSers"
rubbish, you block spammers at the mailserver not at the routers. in fact net neutrality doesn't even apply to YOU, unless you is an isp. DDoS is easy to cover in an unambiguous clause.
"there are real reasons for which people would like to have the option of paying for guaranteed bandwidth."
i'm sure they do have real reasons - such as profit. that doesn't mean it should be allowed at the expense of everyone else. the core problem with paying for speed is it amount to double charging for the same service. i pay to access the internet, the website pays for it's access, the teleco's pay to interconnect to each other - why should they then all get to charge websites AGAIN?

really? so why does alochol have a much high octane rating and is the fuel of choice for high performance cars?

how exactly did you test it?

fixed it up for you
It's not in their interest to admit anything, that would bing their very successful run of bullshit to an end requiring them to think up new bullshit

based on what? all the horror stories we are seeing?
right so you'd think they would have tested this activation thing and gotten it right BEFORE launch. no excuses, it's just piss poor.
stability isn't the issue, it's the energy it takes to power 4 legs detracts from power to run a bigger brain.

agreed. the site is shit. it's like the youtube of diy, only much much worse.
the biggest problem i have with it is it requires me to lug change around. my convienence > trolleys worth to a grociery store.
20x faster huh, so they could make my modem go at broadband speeds? i think i've seen claims like that on annoying flashing ads on the web. fuck them.
i'll stick to my dot matrix thanks. lets seen them DRM that shit.
