Mark Shuttleworth says that Ubuntu will still be "GNOME," even if it's not using GNOME Shell.
I've got a mole in the Ubuntu organisation. The word is that mr. Shuttleworth has been in secret talks with Darth^WSteve Ballmer to negotiate the rights for Vista's Aero interface. It was available for pennies due to the number of unsold Vista licenses. The next version of Ubuntu will sport the familiar Aero interface, with features such as the nifty and user-friendly Deny/Allow-widget, grafted straight onto the Linux Kernel.
Facebook's servers are too busy violating your privacy to handle the extra load of encryption;)
Facebooks servers were hanging around in a dark alley one faithful night. My privacy just happened to think that particular night, let's take the shorter route home. It's as if Facebooks servers sniffed she was coming, despite her high privacy settings. They libpcaptured her, then stripped all of her headers and checksums, right to her to the bare profile while taunting her loudly. Some traffic just passed by without doing anything. My privacy was violated again, and again and Facebooks servers just kept going and going. Then they left my privacy "face"-down in a shallow ditch, some shreds of unique ROWIDs covering her bloodsoaked profile.
Have you seen the CPUs in those MacBook Airs? They are SLOW. First of all, they're a generation behind, being plain old fashioned Core 2 Duos, not Core i5/7. Also, the clockspeed is brought way down, to 1.4 GHz for the 11" and 1.83 GHz for the 13" MacBook Air.
but there's still a good amount of XP systems floating about.
They're not just "still floating about", they're still sold as new. See this ASUS Eee Box, a very small form factor desktop PC. Comes with Windows XP Home Edition.
I think I speak for all of us when I say: Fuck you Adobe, fuck you and your stupid software. Which makes both our work and our private lives miserable with its gazillion security holes, one worse than the other.
When I hear the word Adobe, I think of problems. That's the mindset you created.
Privoxy tries to be clever and blocks all sorts of images and scripts which are essential for most pages. Even a simple webshop would suffer from blanked-out images. When all you want is not see ads, Privoxy in my opinion is overkill and too hard to configure.
That's what the default should be. Pictures like yours should be forbidden. Who needs to copy a picture of a bloody, gory, mutilated body, where everything above and below the buttocks is decapitated?
Never put a case on it but I did have a belt holster. I now own a Iphone 4 and I expect the same behavior will allow me to have a crack free screen. It as simple as taking care of your stuff.
(Emphasis mine). I totally agree, and your behavior will also prevent stealing.
Every now and then, a question appears on the iPhone and iPad support forums, titled something like Stolen iPad. The message then continues, saying: blah blah my iPad was stolen, I didn't turn on the locator app, what can I do now.
Well, you can't do anything now that it's stolen. But next time, keep your device with you.
For you perhaps. I've enjoyed Gameloft's Modern Combat: Sandstorm tremendously on my iPad. Played it in the back of the car, in the train, at my girlfriend's place, etc.
Sure, I've played Call of Duty with keyboard and mouse, but for me gaming is no longer strictly limited to my study at home.
I'm not so sure this is a bad thing. I've updated my iPhone 3G like a good Apple fanboi from 3.0 to 4.1, and now I'm left with a sluggish phone, where it can take ten seconds to display my agenda or shoot a photo. I've heard similar things about the HTC Hero. I've come to the conclusion that if you like a phone, you just leave the factory firmware as-is. If you want the latest and greatest firmware, be prepared to upgrade your phone hardware too.
It totally depends on the buyer whether this is acceptable or not. Not everyone can get worked up about this sort of behavior from a vendor. Some people just care about the basic workings.
I personally don't give two shits. What I do care about though, is that my 2 year old iPhone 3G now is a very slow phone because of the updates. That got me thinking about not buying Apple phones again.
If you come across a conscious patient who is bleeding profusely but still awake and alert, and he refuses your assistance, you are not legally allowed to touch him. The "solution", as we were told, is to stand there and wait until he passes out
Can't you just accidentally trip over him, with your hands full of disinfectants and bandages? That by some bizarre coincidence, the guy comes out of the tripping accident completely disinfected and bandaged?
It just hit me--think of all the stuff you could do in a Perl program that would fit into one tweet?
I hope it hits you unconscious next time. Because I'd hate to see that piece of Perl, my day job already exposes me to an indecent amount of vulgar Perl:-)
When you wander around the mission I was working at, everywhere you go there is a cell phone plugged in and charging.
They do that. My workplace and recently my home got infested. The little buggers creep out and about, and sneakily insert their appendages into wall sockets. Sucking energy until their little metallic bodies are bloated, their tiny bars pulsing with power. I see them everywhere. They aim their tiny energy rays at my balls, slowly dehumanizing me. Yesterday, one started talking to me and I crushed it under my combat boots. I've been preparing. I'm ready for them. I'm going to kill each and everyone of them.
I'll be modded troll. People hate to face Facts (cognitive dissonance)
It's not about us, it's about you not quoting your sources.
I recognize your username (your account is marked friend-of-a-friend), so I found it weird that you didn't cite sources. I thought you were on a troll-roll.

with ~8 months notice Oracle has plenty of time to build their own JVM.
Build a Java VM in 8 months? That's not going to be a very good JVM.

They're not in it for the money or the power.
They picked their job for the same reason I chose to study computer science: money, women, power.

"Modern gaming" requires a keyboard and mouse.

How do you think kids feel now. On one hand you have the government, parents and everyone saying that marijuana is not good for you..
They will be utterly confused. An issue that isn't black-or-white? Horrible, how will they manage?!?

Hmm yes, it's better you guys don't go to yoga. After all, there are only ugly girls there. Really! I'll go instead.
They screwed me 15 years ago losing a movie I returned [...] I hope all the blockbuster execs lose their golden parachutes.
15 years ago and now you wish for random people to not get money.
I'm giving you serious advice here. It is not healthy to stock up on anger like that. Take yoga classes. Really, I'm fucking serious.

As soon as I can, I'm uninstalling ZA and will install Comodo instead.

Will take you all of five minutes.
