"Sorry but since they went graphical the live CD installer can't boot my system!"
(Yeah, really. The first one which went graphical couldn't, the last one I downloaded this summer with the new UI couldn't. Debian can, of course, Knoppix can with some help. A guy I know told me some other Ubuntu disc he was talking about would work (some CD?) I don't know. I've got no need to fiddle with shit longer.)
I don't know why, I don't really care, I would prefer an installation which left me with less working but where the installer worked and had me figure out how to get the rest to work rather than where the installation tried to make everything work, screwed up and had me left with the task of figuring out what the fuck it tried to do and why it doesn't work =P)
Being an Amiga guy I can't help but feel sad for how dull and boring IT has become since the 90s.
Smartphones are cool by anyones standards I suppose. But today Apple is most likely seen as the most cool and interesting company but what do they release really?
I made a post earlier about S3, 3Dfx, Matrox, AMD competitiveness, death of Alpha, "less PPC", Sun bought by Oracle, no MD vs DAT / Jaz vs tape vs 120 MB drives vs MO vs... fights. It's kinda "here's your disc" today. Ericsson was huge but is small, Nokia was huge but is smaller, Android and iOS seem to run up to be kinda the only choices as phone OSes.
A completely different story, but oh so boring and uninteresting:D. Though I must admit I'm not that "into" technology today either so I most likely miss out on some initiatives. But I suppose there was more cash flowing around for crazy ideas back then.
I can't see how any plugin could be so important that you rather run that with the crap that is 3.6 compared to 5.x (and 6.x I suppose) rather than dumping whatever plugin and use a state of the art browser with as little suckage as possible.
Because stupid gay Slashdot don't ask me to login when I start to write a comment not being logged in I had to copy my text, login, move back, and then all the comments look different thanks to all this ajaxshit and various settings so I have no idea what I was answering to.
So here will do:
Hard to trust "there will never be any default" when you borrow a lot and don't have a plan to stop and actually start saving instead.
So fucking retarded.
Great work with QE2 to.. 1.6 trillion dollar spent, market up for 6, back to the previous state in what? One?
Money well spent- Stupid robbing piece of shit jew bankster.
The promising president probably doesn't help either but it's not all his fault I suppose.
Slashdot suck. The users do not but they deserve a better site. Marketwatch is better for economics...
Since it's financials it can do what it's supposed to do under normal consequences but something which isn't optimal for the current situation due to some exception.
Though I guess they have plenty of "exceptions" coded in to.
So is it traded? Or you mean to keep some cash within the fund for payments?
Here in Sweden we got one part where you choose your funds, that wouldn't lead to multiple buys and sells unless you want to?
There is one other part to though, I don't know how that one work.
If it suck I guess the system should be scrapped and people get to choose how they want to invest their pension money themselves.
I do understand that hedge funds must have someone else to play with (or well, must and must, but to be of any use) and that there will probably be some of them who are successful and some who aren't.
One would still be free to choose whatever one wanted to invest in a hedge fund or not.
You mean the HFT algorithms ride the selling and buying of the hedge funds? Or you mean they gain from their 20% or so of the gains of the hedge funds?
For pension savings buy and hold with re-invested dividends probably work quite well? At least if you got decades and move some over to interests the last 5-10 years before pension.
Are there any time when you get "a preview" of one order someone will put into the market where you can for instance pick up all that's available for that price and then sell for that order?
Another advantage (maybe not for HFT but rather trading for someone else) is probably also that _if_ you screw up it wasn't your money. As long as it works you get money. If it doesn't it's not really your problem.
The flash crash wasn't a "oh I accidently sold billion of stocks when I wanted to sell millions"-accident.
If they screw up they screw up for themselves. No normal person need to sell at the lower price or whatever. Don't use stop-loss and do your own judgement and you're rather free?
Investing your pension on the stock market is either very smart, or very stupid. It has nothing to do with how solid a company is, but everything with how HFT reacts and what people's sentiments are.
Say what?
If you do your pension saving for two weeks or what?
Can't see how a comment this stupid can be coming from someone who work with HFT.
HFT doesn't matter at all for someone doing pension savings.
You save for 40 years and HFT matters how during those 40 years?
Not many pension savers are day trading their pension..
Slashdot Mirror
Funny how there was room for a number 'n' when Symbian, WM, iOS, whatever, was in the lead.
Until MS can enter the market with strong ties and motivation for users to buy multiple MS phones
You buy your Apple ties between products and five of the same phone and I'll pick the best product for the task instead.
K thnx.
It's not that hard to beat Windows, but you must offer apps that people want so badly that they'll dump Windows apps for it.
Signed,
Linux user.
So why do you use Linux?
Or you could open mines in the US and actually start producing something again instead of just consuming.
(obviously not JUST produce or JUST consume. Of course you do both and will always do both. But produce more.)

In one tab? Whatever. I'm not here to argue. Claim remain.
Call it whatever you want.
100% load and close to 70 degrees C sitting in your lap suck.
And OS X Flash implementation didn't made use of the GPU (and still won't on that machine even though it's an 8600m GT.)
If it is good enough to run flash, I would say it definitely qualifies as a smartphone.
My Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz Macbook Pro wasn't good enough to run Flash :D
Sounds like one up on the iPhone though ;D
So, a flash crash is nothing more than -funroll-loops -O3?
Twice in the last weeks OMX Stockholm haven't been able to deliver the last half hour.
5.x is much less demanding and the UI doesn't slow down as much.
Stuck with 3.6?
I can't see how any plugin could be so important that you rather run that with the crap that is 3.6 compared to 5.x (and 6.x I suppose) rather than dumping whatever plugin and use a state of the art browser with as little suckage as possible.
What plugins do you have?
I only need three.
No-script, adblock plus, flash-block.
In Opera I need none.
Thanks. So not common and hopefully not happening then :)
6 = 6 months.
And I'm not trolling or being racist.
Banksters = Greedy very filthy leechers.
"Jew" as in "probably well connected with the other banksters."
Robbing? As in put debt and inflation on the people, "free" money and help for the banks while leaving no safe zones for regular people.

Atleast it takes some effort to pick Opera.
Atleast if you know why you picked it.
Lynx? Well. There's not very many good reasons to use lynx as your only browser ..
I think that is part of the thing. Why is people still using their IE 6 compared to the people who for whatever reason has ended up with Opera?
Since it's financials it can do what it's supposed to do under normal consequences but something which isn't optimal for the current situation due to some exception.
Though I guess they have plenty of "exceptions" coded in to.
And you are :)
Though Firefox 5 isn't a steaming pile of shit either.
I wonder if they made any comparisons of versions there. Firefox 3 is much worse than Opera 11.5.

Bug as in program crash or bug as in "now it did what I told it to but I would had preferred if it had done something else"?
