[...] to run faster than a binary optimized for generic 386 (or other platform, see below). There's a very short delay as the Just-In-Time compiler converts the intermediate code to machine code, but after the first time this happens the result is cached on your system so it starts instantly.
that sounds awesome. Java awesome. meanwhile, according to my anecdotal evidence, every.NET app I ever ran was dog slow, a resource hog and generally felt shitty.
it was surprisingly entertaining even if (too) corny at times. more to the tune of real comics than the dark-emo-rage-abortions that were Dark Knight/Watchmen.
I'm feeling serverly burned out on Comic Book movies. I liked Iron Man,...
hahahah, Iron Man.
... but have been nonplused by the other offerings in the past few years.
understandable, because except for Sin City and The Spirit there are no good movie adaptations. unless you got the shitty taste of Roger Ebert -- then they were all good.
I'm going to make my own page based on this idea because there was no reason to put the stupid Linux and BSD logos on the page. That's just being a douche bag.
with blackjack and hookers? in fact, forget the page...
Another problem is that even with classic mode, the window is forced to have a minimum width of around 400 pixels, or you get a horizontal scroll bar and the text runs out of the window on the right, so you have to scroll left and right to read it. This is a hassle on small screens, and an annoyance on bigger screens.
on small screens (my phone) I read this version. on big screens whenever the CSS from a website pisses me off I just turn on author mode (no styles) in Opera and fit to width if needed. a perfect example of this is the E-O forum, which I constantly read but its so fucking eye gouging that I always have to turn plain text mode on.
Opera is especially helpful for this because some idiots still embed font and color attributes in HTML instead of using CSS only, and the author mode strips everything off.
Thank you for making a simple "news for nerds" site more and more bloated and dysfunctional with any new release.
as long as they keep the classic mode, there will be no problems. I also use GMail in plain html mode and all the bells and whistles don't bother me a bit.
And even with vegans there is no clear line. For example, why oh why on earth is it ok to eat honey? Because it is an insect? You said,
I don't hate animals, in fact I love them for being so tasty... however, I don't remember ever slaughtering a bee to get its honey (I also may not know anything about honey harvesting; just sayin').
I could also clarify any issues you may have with cow's milk and chicken eggs.
After the Ext4 dataloss discussion, and the "Don't fear the fsync()" posts [...]
right after this awesome discussion I've had two servers crash horribly. I accept this as further proof that we need should not anger the data loss gods (monsters? demons?) with such heretic talks.
I also didn't find the universal acceptance of the "hey, let's discard every scrap of technology and be cavemen!" idea to be realistic or practical in the least.
I guess they didn't want any toasters they may have had to turn into another batch of killer robots. yeah, cheesy.
The episodes about torture of cylons, that made you think. The episodes about maintaining government, that made you think. The episodes about their despair and how they coped with it, that made you think. The questions of what you do with a person in charge forced to betray their people, that made you think. All the bad decisions people made because of their human emotions, that made you think.
all these things made me think what a fucking boring show this has become. I started watching BSG because of the multiple story arcs and general epicness of it all. then it turned into a bad acting drama in which the writers/directors feel the need to show us how edgy and deep they are with all the real-life parallels drawn. thanks. this is why I'm interested in SF, because I want to see the-social-issues-du-jour... IN SPACE! I'm amazed they didn't find time to throw a little 'zomg teh economies!!11' in there before the finale.
good fucking riddance. (yes, I will watch Caprica).
My gf always insists on quitting any program whenever she's not using it, even if she might be back in there in half an hour, because she feels it's nicer to the computer. This even after I quadrupled her RAM.
hey baby, you wanna go back to my place so I can quadruple your RAM? rawr.
Back in the day I was a rabid (psychotic) Amiga fan/user. As I matured I realized something, IT'S JUST A COMPUTER GUYS. JUST ANOTHER TOOL.
what I don't get is your hatred for nice equipment. I'm not a mac fanboi, but at home I run exclusively on Compaq/IBM hardware (and some Sun). they are all wonderful pieces of engineering with quality components inside. am I not allowed to actually like my gear? because I do. they're fucking grownup toys.
I like the concept of Tweeter. A way to communicate without having to direct the message to someone specific. And so far this doesn't fall under ediscovery.
you can't even fucking spell it right. and what the fuck is ediscovery? fuck.
If you set your Google SafeSearch filter on "strict filtering" and search for clitoris, you get zero returns.
But if you try a Google SafeSearch "strict filtering" search for penis, you get...
33,000,000 returns.
maybe, like most men, Google doesn't know where that thing is

get out, narc!
they stole it back.

you make it sound like that's a good thing.
boooooosh!

in this case, the editor who posted the story? unless you can pull Slashdot logs out of your ass, I dont care what you do back there.

for future (present?) day humans to gain access to the advanced remnants of Galactica and co.
myes... advanced... like those 1945 submarine fucking phones they had on Galactica. !@#$%^&*
As it stands, it was too overt and tried too hard to make its point for viewers already accustomed to needing to think a bit more.
that's a constant thing with the show (more so for the last two seasons). it's just rude. but, hey... SYFY!

OpenBSD PF or hoststated seem like the simplest solutions to me.
The thing about all the readers is that I simply would not use one in the bathroom for a lot of sound reasons I'm sure you can imagine.
I actually can't. I have a friend that's always in the can with his laptop. a reader should be a no brainer.
