Which is why he's treated like shit: Can't have any kind of excellence here, Taco wants to keep that old-school newsgroup feel. That's the only explanation that still fits.
Yeah, he's been running that slashdot=stagnated line in his comments for a while, thinking he's clever. What he doesn't realize is that when everybody sees that line, the first thing they do is laugh like you did, then check his UID to confirm how much of a noob he is.
No, it's just the Mac Mini that sucks. I've got one with 1gb of RAM, and it's a beast to run just for light office/web stuff. My old cheap celeron Xp laptop with half the RAM was just as fast.
Looking forward to dumping that POS, maybe use it as a server.
Can't let go of that, can we? Pro tip: You don't come to Slashdot for timely news, so bitching about it makes you look stupid, not this shitty website.
You'll have better luck trotting that one out to someone who hasn't gone on record as saying OSX sucks.
Really? We're still using fanboi? Nothing new?
Anyway, some of us run businesses, and reducing the amount of paper we have to deal with saves precious time and money, but you go on thinking it's a conspiracy by a bunch of elitist snobs.
That's because yuo backed up your argument(!) by reaching for your gun. If you think that's going to be popular on a geek site like slashdot, you need your head examined...
Seriously, someone better answer the question eventually: Why would you want to print from the iPad? You bitches whine about your jetpacks and flying cars, but some of us just want that goddamn paperless office already.
Christ, it's 2010 and I'm still dealing with fucking fax tech. Tired of this shit.
Actually, Churchill said "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried."
Of course he would. The man was a member of the aristocracy, after all.
Plus, as any historian can tell you, he was a great war leader but an abysmal peacetime Prime Minister. As such, his views on democracy are irrelevant.
One guy, with a bunch of assertions, managed to get enough members of Congress alarmed. The comic companies, instead of challenging the claims on their merits, and you know, defending themselves and their work in any way, pissed their collective pants, and asked only question: How far apart would you like us to spread our cheeks?
What was instructive about this episode (and similar ones in that decade), is that it was an early sign that the US, this supposed bastion of democracy, liberty and free speech, was jut as retarded and parochial as the countries it was supposedly better than.
You can call me to task for looking at the 50's with 21st-Century blinders on (or, more accurately in my case, eyewear from the 1980s), but the simple fact of the matter is that this was an embarrassing and wasteful episode in American culture.
As much as Dr. Dickhead and Congress should be excoriated appropriately, let's not forget that the Comics industry bent over backwards to censor itself. If they'd shown a little more backbone, imagine what Lee and Kirkby could have done with the "Marvel Way" in the sixties. Imagine not having that fucking glut of saccharine Archie products.
Mind you, we probably wouldn't have gotten Mad magazine if things had turned out differently, so it's hard to be judgmental.
I still ask the question in the last sentence today.
Answer: Our tenth anniversary. Hundreds of pictures from throughout the years on slideshow on my large flatscreen as guests drift in and out of the living room during the night.
Good point, but I think it's assumed that everybody's a grownup, and they understand that traveling through uncharted regions of space can be dangerous. If you want safety, stay home. Starfleet version Earth looked very idyllic...
Your inability to follow a simple thread amazes me.
I see you're on your 20th account or so. Trolling not working out for ya, huh?
I think UI design should have an option to put menus on the side now, to handle the wider formats.
^^This. The problem isn't the hardware, but a mentality that still basically codes for 640x480 screens.
Any scientist worth his salt would make an incredibly bad President.
I dunno. I'd happily take 4 years of "incredibly bad" in order to inject a little pragmatism into things.

Obligatory ATHF quote: "Man, we should have just cloned twenties. Jackson wouldn't have given a shit."
Better yet, find a lava flow source and make that be in the hole at the end of the penis. Call it Mount Gonorrhea.
No, I saw it too. Read the book beforehand as well. Yes, I'm poorer in spirit as a result.
Great post. As to the pointlessness, I find trying to be happy and trying to help other people be happy more than enough justification for me.

Not likely. If Angle wins, and that is highly likely, Righthaven can look forward to subtle changes in the law.
I've got an army of flesh-eating Disney lawyers that says otherwise.

Are you serious? I'm running a 955 with 4GB too, and it's the first time in my life I haven't complained about iTunes' performance.
There's something seriously wrong with your rig if you can't run iTunes without problems using that kind of hardware.
100% of Cisco VOIP phone users are Slashdot readers! Amazing!
slashdot = stagnated

Trust an Apple fanboy to question printing....

I'll respond to you, since you have the lowest UID:
Boy, you dumbfucks suck at the reading comprehension, eh?
That's because yuo backed up your argument(!) by reaching for your gun. If you think that's going to be popular on a geek site like slashdot, you need your head examined...
and was punished with a postgame interview by Wolf Blitzer.
See, this is what happens when you start ignoring the Geneva Convention.
The standard non-rebuttal. Very sad.

Hard to say if showing backbone would have worked.
Yeah, that first amendment was fucking useless, wasn't it?

No, it's a lot simpler than that.
