What a shame. Like many others, my IDs are high through lethargy; I started reading in 1998, and the desire to accrue karma eventually became too great. I've hit the site almost daily since then, and have collected my fair share of +5, Flamebait mods.
No more. If you're this beholden to your corporate sponsors, please let them know they can advertise with impunity, since your remaining readers are obviously ok with it. I'm done. Thank you for the good times and the bad. From OMG Ponies to the 9/11 post, GNAA to klerck's page-widening posts, it's been a treat.
You do realize more people run Apache on real hardware than in "your" mom's basement, right? On one setup, we have 20 servers with 64 gigs each. That's handling things nicely, but it's not overkill.
Just think, that beautiful antique Ming vase you brought, the original effort and creativity that went into the painting. It's unique, some Chinese artisan spent months, or even years, of their life making it. They would never do that if they didn't know that hundreds of years later when you bought it at an auction in New York, they were not going to get a cut of that.
Actually, look up 'droit de suite.' You may laugh. Or cry.
Oho! That's much more affordable... Far easier to find this stuff than it was 20 years ago. (Or just post on/., and have somebody point you in the right direction.) Thanks!
Add me too please. I read the Hobbit a couple of times, and quite enjoyed it. Last time I attempted LOTR, I was living with a girl who loved them, so I figured I'd give it another shot. Got a little bit in, and exclaimed how much I liked this Tom Bombadil fellow. She said "oh, yeah... that's it. You don't hear from him again until the end." Bah! I quit right then.
Some time later, I discovered he had an entire book of his own! Alas, it was out of print or something, and the cheapest copy I could find was something ludicrous like $550. One day...
I do get the point. I sometimes wonder if her nuthugging defenders get the point. You want the actual quotation? She was asked how living next to Russia helped her with foreign policy experience, and she replied "They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."
It's indefensible. There is no way to spin that other than an idiotic statement made by an ignorant moron. She's barely traveled outside of the US, so it's hardly surprising that she'd think mere proximity to another nation would somehow grant insight and knowledge.
It's embarrassing to be from the same hemisphere as these fools, let alone having them be eligible for the highest public offices in the land.
So in my personal experience, Optimum wipes to floor with other ISPs. Especially because they have no enforced cap like Comcast or FIOS
The what now? FiOS doesn't have a cap. Either that or it's insanely high (believe me, I'd know). I got fed up with Optimum Offline silently capping in the first place, which is why I switched.
If you compare the exact same music from the CD, in MP3 (256K), AAC (256K), Apple Lossless, and FLAC, you only hear it in the CD. But as it has been mentioned, people like me are the exception rather than the rule when it comes to audio.
Thank fuck for that, because you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. *plonk*

Farewell.
my New Year's resolution this year was to drink more hard liquor
Mine too! But like every other resolution, I only did it for a couple of days before I couldn't hack it anymore.
You really think the extreme majority is running Apache on 512M RAM? Show me some numbers, and I'll believe you.

Won't somebody think of the hard drives!
Communist!
Otherwise, you're just dangling it in front of the poor/ uninsured. Hey, we could keep your kid alive, but neener, neener, neener.
Isn't that how a for-profit medical system works?

lol? That's the absolute *last* example I'd use for either form or fuction, let alone together. Or maybe that was sarcasm, and I can expect a whoosh.

The only part I liked. À chacun son goût.

MPH is not an acceleration. It is a velocity.
It's actually a speed, not a velocity.</pedantic>
Because Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Oracle don't have legal authority to kick in your doors and imprison you
Careful with that one.
The scanners possibly have the benefit of making people confident enough to fly, and so are not totally make-work ...
Sure, although they also may have the *opposite* effect, in making people NOT want to fly.
You make a floppy bootdisk, which were always available, and do a network install?

"I can see Alaska from my house" was promoted as something Palin said instead of the SNL sketch it was.
I'd hope she could see Alaska from her house, living in Vladivostok and all...
The bear right to arms?
It'll be duped four times though, and then you'll be sick of it.
And time is money! Therefore, uhh... I don't know. Haven't taken the course yet. That's as far as I got. :(

Obviously you'd have to give the child up for adoption.
It would tell you if they were a Dell customer, e.g. It would tell you what kind of device it was, and where it went...
