I was thinking along the same lines just yesterday. It occurred to me that no matter what, at least with the popularity of the internet, more people are reading than ever before. Perhaps only incrementally for most...but I'll take any uptick I can get on this rubric:(
Pretending to do something is much easier than actually doing something.
Agreed. But,
Also, if they solve the problem, they won't have a reason to exist anymore.
They need something to justify their existence (and pay check).
Is a bit silly. I'm fairly certain that we will still have Attorney Generals, ISPs and even the National Cable & Telecommunications Association around after child porn was 'crushed'.
Yeah, they're so flavour of the month, I've only been using them since before the turn of the century.</sarcasm>
Note to all the clueless idiots out there: Google got popular quick because they had a search page that would load in under a minute back when most of us were still on dial-up. Having search rankings that worked as well as anybody else's was just icing on the cake. The hardcore techies might have gone nuts over their algorithms, but the rest of us were just happy to get our search results quickly and not wait for ages for a bunch of cruft and advertising to load first.
And if the market were that fantastic, the Cigarette companies would have come up with a cure for lung cancer a long time ago.
Most of the pro-MS posts in this thread all rely on the "They're rich so they must have done something right" argument, and that's missing huge chunks of the story.
Uhh, I'm a free software advocate, and he hasn't pissed me off. In fact, I friended him several years ago.
I love guys like you. You're either far too precious, or you actually are shills for MS. Either way, you're as much a 'problem' and a nuisance here as Twitter is.
Now days, only if you are non-white are you allowed to keep your culture, except for your religion, you cannot keep that unless you change it to be more politically correct and secular. Yes, we know that religion is what makes the core of any culture, but you cannot keep it.
That is hands down of the dumbest comments I've ever seen in Slashdot.
Unless of course I'm missing the hordes of white Christian churches being forced to shut down or something. And nobody's telling you you can't listen to your pat Boone records, so what's the fucking problem?
One of the greatest lies ever perpertrated in the last quarter century is the myth of the persecuted white Christian. Try reading up on some real persecution and get back to me, you credulous retard.
Neocon ? Isn't that a perjorative typically used by the Left ?
Nope. It's a proud mantle worn by many conservatives and liberals (or at least it was, until everybody found out how disastrous their ideas were recently), starting from the late '70s.
I'm not. But since no one's refuted his claim yet, and I know jack shit about filesystems, I'd thought I'd stir the pot a little to get some more info on the subject.
I think GP's "Orcs" are more in line with the various idiots Bush has appointed, selected and hired for the numerous government positions over the last 8 years. The closest LOTR analogy to you would probably be the Humans, mostly all good people, but really caught in the middle of a big fight most of them don't even want to comprehend.
As has been pointed out in the past - the people who are most likely to become infected with a ransomware virus are exactly the same people who are least likely to have backups available.
It's also why I have a job (or had, since I'm retired.) Stupid People + Technology = Expert services at a nice hourly rate.
Okey dokey then, so you'll have no problem with me stockpiling AKs, bazookas, fighter planes and some nukes then?
Many liberals just don't have the guts to admit that they would
rather depive some hick farmer of the ability to get Bush
re-elected than take his guns away. Since they can neither admit
to, or actually achieve, the former they will settle for the
latter.
Ah, I see you have problems staying on topic as well as post reading comprehension. Just in case you honestly just don't know, I like the 2nd amendment, I just think it needs cleaning up.
Moreover, depriving someone of a vote would be a greater sin to me than depriving someone of their weapon. Besides, if nobody votes for Bush, how will I have people to make fun of?

Ah, the old "security through obscurity" trick, then?
That is a shame the internet may correct.
:(

That won't work, unless you use first and last names (how many Jenna's are there again?), in which case the joke will quickly become obvious.

The only indicator is the part of the FAQ that states that funny mods don't impart karma.
Of course, the FAQ's older than dirt so...who knows?
Fuck that. Of real interest here, especially including non-geeks in the mix, will be firstname.lastname
Wonder that how's going to work out. There can be only one lucky John Smith!
That's semantics.
Great comeback </sarcasm>
And air that you CAN see is better? :-P
Of course it is, because you can see it! Sheesh. See sig for more info.
No karma for underrated

It's not a bug, it's a feature!
Fixed that for you.

Yahgle
Interesting. That's the sound I make when I wake up in the morning. I'd hate to pay a fee every day if that word gets trademarked.

You're the noob! With 8TB of frigging swap, GP's porn stash can obviously only be counted in Libraries of Congress!
I'm not. But since no one's refuted his claim yet, and I know jack shit about filesystems, I'd thought I'd stir the pot a little to get some more info on the subject.

Hang on a sec. What's the point of running ZFS if it's that badly bloated, server or no server?

Fuck, you've got my vote. Sign up already!
No, it's perfectly fine.

Thanks for playing, troll.
Only when you have a poor understanding of what the Internet is. Are you also an elected representative?
they deride and ignore the 2nd amendment
It's a poorly written law, in desperate need of an update since the 19th century. I'd be a little snobbish too.
