...thank God common sense will make those litigious bastards stop pretty quick. Because you know, when a case's built on bullshit, the whole thing is taken care of in no time. Right ? Right ?
Everything is so fucking hard to get done in that stupid practically-windows-only environment, with a command prompt that won't auto-complete! Why is it 2004 and DOS won't auto-complete?! Morons.
This can be changed in XP with regedit :
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor
Create/edit the binary value named "PathCompletionChar" to activate directory auto complete, or "CompletionChar" for file auto complete.
set it to:
...and to quote the imdb: This film was initially banned in Norway for blasphemy. It wasn't released there until 1980. Subsequently, it has been marketed in Sweden as "The film that is so funny that it was banned in Norway!"
I actually thought Active Desktop used to be a first attempt at those push technologies, my bad.
Now, what I don't really get, is how rss is any different from usenet ? I mean, you also get to subscribe to whatever subject interest you, and retrieves the content only when launching your news client. Ain't it so ?
where can I find clear info regarding what is RSS exactly ? Isn't it somehow like what microsoft tried to do a couple years ago with their "Active Desktop" (c) TM concept ? Or am I completely way off ?
From what I gather you are saying is that teachers should not be paid?
Uh, no, that's certainly not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that US could learn a thing or two from countries like Cuba. That is, if anyone in the US government was sill caring about education. Again, my point was: it's not because US are one of the wealthiest country in the world that it should be a model for everything. And actually, apart from the economy, there's not much to keep right now.
Dude, I dunno where you got that feeling that I was a capitalist die hard supporter... That's odd. I thought you called it a success a couple of posts back. That seems pretty hard core to me, given the objective known facts.
It is the part where I'm supposed to ask about those known facts ? Come on, let's be realistic. Capitalism is a great system that produces wealth like no other systems. You do know that we currently produce enough food in the world to sustain every single people on the planet. Yet, some countries are starving to death. Do you really think the problem lies in capitalism? Blame it on "the system" all you want, it's just a way to bend the truth to make it more easier to live with.
And I did mean to say white horse, english just doesn't happen to be my primary language:)
You missed my point (admittedly it was a subtle one)
I can't say that much about your attempt to make me look like a moron, I guess...
it's the US system itself that is the problem
You know what, you should make that statement even broader in its vision, you're lacking some ambition. The problem is PEOPLE. That's right. Now let's get rid of 'em.
In other words I don't share your capitalist religion
OH MY GOD! LOOK! UP IN THE SKY! IT'S A BIRD! IT'S A PLANE! NO!!! IT'S MY POINT!!
Dude, I dunno where you got that feeling that I was a capitalist die hard supporter, but let me reassure you: I'm not. Get off you white horse now.
And the US is a success? By what criteria do you measure success (or maybe I should I say, "worth")?
Well the "american way of life" and "the american dream" certainly don't look near as good as a couple of decades ago, but it's still a success in the sense that words like freedom and human rights does mean something. Or at least used to, I'll give you that I'm not so sure nowadays.
Plus, US could learn of couple of things from some of those countries. Think education for instance. Why, if it's already a success? What can it learn?
Gee, I love playin' captain Obvious: there is no perfect system. Being successfull doesn't it's all nice and good and perfect. "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried", remember?
Communism was never applied anywere. You're taking about different variation on socialism. All failures, I'll give you that, although blaming it on socialism would be fairly incorrect.

well it's all about what you wanna do of your life, ain't it?
As for me, I know I don't wanna have kids (please restrain to categorize me as weird for doing so). So as for leaving something behind me after my death, well I have to think a little harder than the usual.
Free software is a good as art in its intent I think.
And I'm tired of seeing everyone being driven by the allmighty $. Your are not a your job, nor your bank account. Sounds cliche/utopist/silly to you ? Maybe. Doesn't mean it's not true though.
Good, even more money for Lucas. This will give him the envy to make those sequels.
Wait a min... HANDS DOWN! STAY AWAY FROM THOSE DVDs! Trust me, you don't wanna have a chance to see what's next in Lucas'twisted mind.
This should be moderated funny, not insightful.
Come on, working with ms products does not make someone bad in his field.
No, really.
Don't stare at me like that, I'm scared.
There is no freedom, only struggle. What you perceive as freedom is a luxury created by complex societies. It is ultimately an illusion to control you. You are free to post on slashdot, free to choose where you want to live... But are you free to build a great monument? Establish a new society? Build a great city? Are you going to be rememberd as someone who did anything besides consume and/ore reproduce?
I'm sorry, but what the hell are you talking about? Am I free to build a great monument ? Heck why not, I don't see the point though. A for nation building, well obviously there's not much left to do in the so called civilised world. I could try to build a country, but without anyone following me, I'd look pretty stupid. If you think countries like France need change, that doesn't mean you gotta start from scratch. I know, I'm digressing, but so are you after all.
You freedom is in fact very limited, and that is because your choices are dictated by powers greater than yourself. What you perceive as freedom hardly matters in the grand scheme of existence.
Ok, great so you probably read Marx, Sartre and a couple of others, and now you think you know and see what most don't. Get over it dude, those kind of speech will make you look smart in college only.
On a more relavent note, what about the freedom of the French people to further their own culture? What about their freedom to live in peace, and not in fear of the foreign invaders who occupy Paris?
The what ? Foreign invaders ?! And this is not a racist statement ?
You are thinking of the concept of freedom in a very self centered way, not considering how your actions impact others.
Excellent, keep telling me what I'm thinking.
You mean the same France that imprisons people for discussing the very ideas I am discussing right now? The same France that imprisons people for saying 1 million Jews died in during WWII instead of 6 million? The same France that just recently banned the wearing of muslim face masks (or whatever) in public?
Regarding your 3 questions:
Well I guess that's the main difference between say France and USA. US constitution guarantees free speech without exception. French constitution does make exception. Racists, for instance.
Bullshit. You're probably trying to confuse people regarding a law recently voted in France (link in french) which applies to schools, where everyone will be forbidden to display any visible religious symbol (one pillar of scholar system in France is laicite). That applies to all religions.
France is hardly free. They in fact have some of the most strict censorship in the western world.
What you call censorship is law. And yes, this does mean that there is no such thing as absolute freedom. You can't do whatever you want. This is what living in society is all about.
Of course it is, because you disagree with the ideas presented. You don't have any real argument as to WHY you believe we should have no countries with distinct cultures and people. You just believe it, and anyone who doesn't is "stupid".
This has nothing to do with argumentation. You dont provide any arguments, no facts, nothing. And I'm just feeding a troll.
The foreign population of France has no reason to be there, they have their own countries. They should pursue their own destiny there. Why is that so much to ask?
I can't believe this got modded insightful. Are moderators out of their fucking mind ?
Just two things:
as a free man, I believe I should be able to live in whichever place I want. Be it France, or any other country, you aren't going to tell me where I'm allowed to go, and
some people come to France precisely because they are not free in their home coutry. Yeah that's smart, let's send back those chinese dissident to their country, they'll know what to do...
Damn, stupidest post I've read today, by long and large.
Well I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I found this album good at any rate:) Though it does has something for it, there's no way you can call it too commercial (although I read it was selling ok in vikings'country).
Uhm.
...whereas "commercial" would definetly define perfectly most of the albums listed in this top 10... And here ya go, back on topic. Sorta.
It's a crime there was no mention of the releases from Vital Remains, Black Dahlia Murder, Wehrewolf, Destroyer 666, Iron Maiden, Blut Aus Nord, Aborym, or Iced Earth.
Not to mention the last Metallica masterpiece. I mean, come on, no other album released this year sounds like that. Overproduced-bathroom-like sound quality is not an easy feat.
Holly cow, I'd never have though to search for 'porn' on sourceforge. Turns out there's dozen of projects. Here's the three first:
gnaughty: GTK porn movie auto-downloader.
Porn Toolkit: The Porn Toolkit is a collection of scripts or programs to download free porn videos automatically.
C'est gratuit pour les amis!: You would like to have your own erotic-porno-sex web site but you don't want to spend time on it? This project will create it for you, it will browse other erotic-porno-sex web sites and it will put their pictures on your!
Dude, you and a lot of people has to get over that Matrix scam. Reloaded and Revolutions are just kung fu flicks. And crappy one at that. there's nothing to "get". Hell, even the Wachowski bros. probably didn't get much of the "scenario" they "wrote".
Don't take it personnally, those two movies were just pathetic. Hell they should have made just one and call it Matrix: Revulsion.
I'm a developper. Our main client is a huge corporate company which enforce a default "workstation" profile (like most do I believe), where Internet Explorer is the default browser.
Very few people of course have admin rights, which means they can't switch to another browser (or word processor, or any application actually).
On top of that, since we developp intranet applications for those people, our application are heavily optimized for MS products (IIS and IE that is). Obviously, for testing purpose I have no choice but to use IE.

There is no basis for a case.
Well, it doesn't seem to be a problem for some people...

I'm trying to blend in the average slashdot crowd. I thought laziness what a *good* thing 'round here :)
Thanks for the links 'nyway.

this thing will fight crime by making criminals laugh to death?
It looks like a bad episode of Lost in Space.
