Back in 1995, the Internet was young, and many of us weren't sure whether The Spot was for real or not. Lots of people I knew thought it might be real people living in a real house. Today we all know instantly that it's a fake, and the spell is broken.
It won't work this time round. I'll watch The O.C.
These games look like they came right off the store shelves back in 1998. You get what you pay for.
Well, since I stopped buying new games about 1998, when I moved to free software and stopped using unfree software, that sounds great to me! Onward and upward!!!
I know it may leave a nasty taste in your mouth to witness the commercialization of linux, but really, its something we should not only get used to, but push.
Why?
You say this as though it is self-evident. It isn't.
Ratpoison rocks. I used ion for a couple of years, thinking it was great, but last year I switched to ratpoison, and I'll never go back. I *like* having a window manager I can only interact with via keystrokes.
If some companies believe in "doing no evil", it's simply because, in the opinion of the founders/managers, "doing no evil" is a good way to make money.
I call bullshit. The fact that some or even many companies make decisions a certain way does not entail that they all do.
If last year 60% of modem users were satisfied, presumably a lot of them have since moved on to broadband. So if 60% of the remaining modem users now say they are satisfied, doesn't it follow that a lower percentage of the modem users who remain from last year are satisfied than they were before? For the most part, the ones who are still modem users are the ones who were satisfied a year ago, no? So why are only 60% of them satisfied now?
Branden is a lousy politician. He has no sense of diplomacy, and furthermore rubs a lot of people the wrong way. He should never be the public face of Debian.
But Branden is an important contributor to the project. Pretty much everyone recognizes that and appreciates it, but that respect and appreciation does not translate into votes. There's a political component to being Debian Project Leader that Branden just doesn't have.
Hanging up on someone just because they are deaf is like parking your car in a handicap spot or being a member of the KKK.
If he's never received a legitimate relay call, and he keeps receiving time-consuming fraudulent ones, then he's not hanging up because the caller is deaf. He's hanging up because he justifiably believe the person is a scammer. Another person in the thread suggested that a legitimate caller would likely call back. Sucks, but do you seriously expect the store owner to spend hours taking bogus calls so that no deaf caller will ever be delayed a couple of minutes. First, it's not going to happen, and second, it would be crazy.
With TiVo and the 30 second skip feature, fewer commercials are seen.
What if more television is watched? Even if fewer of the ads are seen, if TiVo increases total viewing, it may also increase the total number of ads seen.
I use MythTV, and certainly watch more television now than I did before I set it up.
To be depleted to the point that a draft is needed in modern times is a sign that we've already lost and just can't admit it.
The fundamentals have not changed between WW2 and now, and a draft was certainly needed to prosecute that "good war". While other parts of your comment may indeed be "insightful", this part most certainly is not. There's no reason to think that every war worth fighting can be fought with volunteers.
If the US is ever again drawn into a conflict as large-scale as WW2 was, be sure that a draft will be put in place. This will not be a sign that we've "already lost", but rather a sign that we are willing to do what it takes to win.
they'd rather deal with a stolen good without knowing that it is stolen than do the right thing of turning it in.
Pawn shops are very heavily regulated. They have to keep extensive records, including records of who they are trading with. These records are open to legal authorities.
Pawn shops are not the best place for a criminal to get rid of stolen goods. A place like EB, or just about any store that deals in used goods, is. But pawn shops, no.

When you hear a song you want, go to the store or whatever source, and buy it.
So where am I supposed to hear these songs? I'm always in front of my computer!
Fuck you.

Nobody is interested in buying or selling this thing.
Oh, I'll bet lots of people are interested in selling it, but they can't get their price for it...

Of course, it helps to have dual monitors...

I assumed this was a distro based on Ion, the best window manager (next to ratpoison) of all time! But no, it's just another lamefest.
People want their old email addresses to continue to work, the way a physical address does.

I wasn't sure if they were just corrupt or incompetent, now I think they're probably both.
Well that's good news! Incompetent evildoers are better than competent ones.
Sure they sound better than most earbuds[...]I've yet to take the white ones out of package they came in.
You listened to them while they were still in the package?

Thanks, Darl.
Moderate parent up. Lasser's book, Think Unix, is the best introduction to Linux/Unix for someone who is already comfortable with computers.
There's a small ad in the upper right-hand corner.
Why is this moderated as "funny". I do it all the time, and IT WORKS.
In fact the trend in warfare is to involve as few humans as possible.
I agree. That's why they're planning to draft technical people.

A better word would be "commemorate".
Why should I? Why do you?
