Er, that's exactly what I said. If you want to run YOUR OWN IMPLEMENTATION, you really can't unless you use someone else's (at this point, I'm still looking at this PHP server). This is unlike apache, postfix, jabber, proftp, etc etc etc that you don't have to know how to use APIs to use - you build the software (or install a package) and configure it on your local server. A couple lines in the HEAD section aren't going to do much to authenticate you if you don't have anything to authenticate against.

...but there's no real easy server implementation on Linux (or any other OS) that doesn't require you to do a decent amount of interfacing with the libraries. In other words, if you have time, it works great (ie, your employer wants you to work on an OpenID implementation project). If you just want to host some IDs on your personal box, there's no easy drop-in server software, or even reference software; my non-coder friends can't even begin to use it. I mean even Jabber has jabberd that you can build on.
Anyway I'm sure that'll change in the future, but it'd be nice to have now. Or maybe I'm completely blind and there's a reference server implementation hanging around somewhere?
I've spent hours of my life convincing iTunes I should be allowed to play songs I either ripped from lawfully bought CDs or purchased from Apple itself on my laptop or my iPod.
First off, I've *never* heard anyone complain about DRM problems when playing music they've ripped because... uh, well, iTunes doesn't put DRM on that. And while I really dislike DRM (yes, even Apple's, you thought I was going to say theirs is tolerable weren't you?), Apple's is extremely easy to work with. When you download a track, it works in iTunes on the computer you downloaded it from. It works on the iPod that you transfer that song to. And it works on up to four other machines as well (someone can clear up the details if I got the number wrong) with some brainless simplicity - when you try and play a DRM encumbered file, it asks you for your iTunes Store username/password to authorize playback. What exactly is difficult about any of that??
What the heck? There are two places for shuffle - on the main menu, and under settings. If you set it to 'songs' in settings (like the GP said), then select your playlist, that playlist is shuffled, not the entire library. The one on the main menu does the whole library shuffle.
About the same time those came out I think I was making my first mil and sleeping with real women, but if those video games brought a little bit of meaning to your life, don't let me bring you down.
Wow. What an *asstarded* thing to say. Someone enjoying themselves and garnering a little entertainment is worth LESS than money (pointless in the long run) and unfulfilling promiscuity? Now if I missed something and you're being sarcastic or ironic, I apologize and take it back, but otherwise... wow. If ever I had a more shining example of the terrible path an increasing number of humanity has embarked upon...
You're talking about it. Therefore it already has affected you. Doesn't matter if you liked the ad or not, or liked the product or not; the ad has already succeeded (because you may not be interested at all, but someone else is now on the lookout for a very sexually suggestive ad and will be quite receptive to it if they do see it).
I have a hard time believing your wife would say 'that's gay' (or she's just incredibly ignorant). Unless you call your under 18 year old boyfriend 'your wife'.
Good podcasts have chapter marks. Failing that, scrubbing works better than anything else I've seen. What exactly have you used that's better than either of those options?
Er, are you saying "art" sarcastically? As in this thing doesn't measure up to any semblence of the definition of the word, or are you insulting conceptual art has so far beyond anything relatable that it becomes completely pointless? I'm sure you're saying one or the other but you don't seem to make it clear.
Staff your own 'NOC monkeys' then. The company I work for never uses the building's people; they always have a staff of 1 or 2 24 hours a day and they actually KNOW how to do things in Windows, all sorts of Linux distros, and FreeBSD. While you may cry over $150 charges to hit a power button, our guys just need to be told what box is down and they'll do whatever it takes to get it back up, from hardware replacement to inode recovery to switch reconfigurations... and it costs us nothing (well, an employee's salary). IOW, not all NOC workers know shit, thank you very much.
And even if encrypted- so what? The hacker doesn't neccessarily need to understand the signal to record and mimic the signal- at a distance, over RF.
I was willing to give your rants (and there are many) the benefit of the doubt, but that statement is so riled in ignorance that I just can't read any more of your posts with any semblance of seriousness.
My Xbox can play more NES, SNES, TG16, Master System, Genesis, Game Boy, and N64 games than the Wii will ever be able to play. I find it funny that Nintendo fanboys are literally creaming themselves over a feature that Xbox had years ago.
What a stupid comment. Of course they're excited - because it's a) legally sanctioned and b) doesn't involving any kind of mods.
It's AD. Not ADD. Because of those very simple errors I cannot read your post - it's too distracting. Please, for the love of god, fix the simple errors! If it's some insanely obscure word, no one will care, but AD? Come on.
What the heck? You take something that's BARELY an FPS, NOT a driving sim, and an original take on the tired fighting genre and calling it... unoriginal? Are you retarded?
Damnit, and I just ran out of mod points! B5 also had some of the most painful, atrocious acting I've ever seen. The only good point about B5 was that it had an overarching plot over the entire series (not too common at the time, though not the first either). Unfortunately, the plot was extremely hackneyed. DS9 built its characters so well that it was amazing to watch... and this coming froms someone who doesn't even LIKE Star Trek.

Because God forbid a multi-disc game. Lord.
I love the fact that you used the phrase jibba-jabba in such a serious context... made me laugh straight out loud.
Uh it happens all the time. Try reading at a lower threshold so you see more AC comments.

PS/2 = old skool IBM and also a type of keyboard/mouse interface. Built like a rock, but I doubt that's what you're referring to.

SYNCing not SYNCHING. You sync stuff, you don't synch (cinch) it.
The DS and PSP both do that.
Must be "art".
Er, are you saying "art" sarcastically? As in this thing doesn't measure up to any semblence of the definition of the word, or are you insulting conceptual art has so far beyond anything relatable that it becomes completely pointless? I'm sure you're saying one or the other but you don't seem to make it clear.
...a synonym for penis.
Uh, yeah. If you're 3 years old.
Won't get fooled again.
:P
Thank you for making me search endlessly for the daily show clip version of that and wasting 30 minutes of Friday!

You actually put the definition of 'luser' on /.?
I'm completely baffled.
