Second the Kimono recommendation, for any and all penises. They pioneered the thin condom and are significantly more comfortable (i.e. feels a little bit more like not wearing one) than the others.
These are intended for those with a latex allergy but they are, in fact, the best condom I've ever used:
It's a bit like cling film (saran wrap in the US?)... but pretty thin yet strong. Fitting isn't an issue as they sort of cling to you after a while. Not to be crass, but combined with a cock ring you may have better luck:)
I found jEdit to be sluggish at times. It was just as powerful as I required, but I wound up switching to Komodo Edit. It's code validation leaved jEdit in the dust and it just about matches the other features I need.
That's not a very meaningful statement, because my computer outputs video directly to my TV, and I watch that way a lot (using my computer as a DVR).
What's not meaningful about it?
This is a discussion about the television license fee. You are required to pay it if you own a TV or receiver, one of which the poster I replied to owns to receive TV over IP. You need a television to take advantage of this TV over IP service so you'll already have a license.
Geocities had a lot of content. A huge amount of useful information. Especially the pre-Yahoo stuff. Many times over the last decade I've ended up on a Geocities website when researching particular subjects (sorry - can't give any examples, but more than a couple dozen times when looking at some obscure stuff).
Yes, you can. You see the same rubbish everytime someone speaks in favour of the police anytime on Slashdot, call it a symptom of the group mind.
It's not rubbish - they beat the shit out of me for a whole night in Pearse St Station. I'd been knocked unconscious outside a night club and was arrested (as in dragged unconscious off the ground) before the ambulance arrived. This was over 8 years and it still boils my blood... and it wasn't just one of them, it was all on duty having a go. Nobody stepping in to stop it. Disgusting, inhuman stuff.
If I were to complain I would expect them at the door - it's not unheard of.
Bollocks. You know what you just said? You were harassed for being a young Dublin male in Dublin. Does it not strike you as a bit odd that no other "young Dublin males", a fairly hefty portion of the population of the city, were harassed? Or are the guards hassling the entire population of the city now? It makes no sense even at first glance.
No, just the entire population who don't look or act straight-laced enough. It's no coincidence that almost every one of my friends has taken shit. We're not drug dealers or criminals, we're just not clean cut enough so are assumed to be drug dealers or criminals.
Who said you needed one?
I did. I'm not a bullshitter.
And here we get to the crux of the weirdness. Troublemakers in Dublin don't have long hair, they have shaved heads or some sort of pseudo mohicans. The only people with long hair are students, everybody knows that. Unless you are blowing shite, of course. What, someone made up some emo crap on the internet, colour me shocked.
Where's this emo crap? I don't listen to the late-80s/early-90s output of Dischord records enough to be considered emo...
I didn't have a pseudo mohican, I had a real one. I've had many hairstyles in my time, none of them quite Alan Partridge... but you're making the exact same mistake the gardai do, associating a haircut with "troublemakers". I'm just trying to get by, so no need to push me around looking for me to fight back so you can fuck assault charges at me. Or should I just straighten up and fly right? My individual freedom to look like any sort of fuckhead I like isn't worth a shite?
"The only people with long hair are students, everybody knows that."
Funnily enough, I am a student myself (bit old for it) but I really hope you're tongue is firmly embedded in your cheek here. Only Fianna Fail cunts have short hair.
They should have thought twice before burning those cars then, shouldn't they?
You're thinking of the Orange march protesters.
Tell me, did the girl 5 or 6 of them trapped in a doorway and beat until she bled from her head burn out any cars? I could find the video but a search on youtube for "garda thugs" is probably worth seeing all of first hand yourself. Disgraceful conduct, garda or no.
And you hear the same complaint from people around the world, oddly enough usually with little to no evidence. You can always contact the Garda Ombudsman if you have a complaint.
No you can't. If you're trying to reduce the level of harassment you're suffering then best keep quiet and get on with your life.
How do you gather evidence of the Gardai knocking to your house every day and demand you drop your complaint? Or spending the night getting kicked up and down a police station? When the only witnesses are other Gardai it's literally your word against theirs and that never works out in your favour. If they weren't careful and left a mark sure, he fell down the stairs, your honour. Got his hand caught in a door. Tripped over his shoelaces.
You hear the same complaint from people around the world because ALL police forces are heavy handed and act with impunity. I'm not lying - I have no reason to. I've been beaten. My friends have been beaten. Other friends have had their houses raided with unsigned warrants. Someone I know had a large amount of cannabis planted on him (or rather thrown near him - this is a matter of public record - the case was dismissed as laughable).
This shite goes on every single day.
At least the Mayday Bank Holiday protesters a few years ago had video evidence of disgraceful Garda behaviour but I don't carry recording equipment with me at all times so when one of them calls me a fucker because he doesn't like long haired guys in T shirts there's not a fucking thing I can do but walk away and pound impotent rage out of a wall or into a bottle.
It doesn't happen any more - I'm older now (old, fat and affluent looking, if still long haired and T shirt clad) and could be earning any sort of money to fight them in court but young men are still being beaten and harrassed for no better reason than they're young men - sure, youngfellas are always up to no good, especially around here.
I'm sure I'll hear about bad apples now but fucked if I've ever met a good one.
The Guards in my experience are a highly professional group of men and women who make a habit of nipping trouble in the bud.
Ha ha ha haaa ha ha haaaa ha ha! You made me spit my coffee with that humdinger.
There's no point in telling you any horror stories but myself, both my brothers and most of my friends bear the scars of Garda professionalism. From beatings to planted drugs to just plain discourteous treatment (being treated like shit because you're a young, Dublin male so CLEARLY must be up to something...) they cover the lot.
"Professional" as in they get paid for what they do, I suppose.
Any word on compatibility with Creative's players? They're a pretty big part of the PMP market and the next company that comes to mind (for me) after Apple.
It appears to be in the very early stages.
I'd love to see a Rockbox port to the flash based ZENs if only to fix the pathetic functionality of the SD slot... How Creative got away with calling it memory "expansion" or "upgrades" is beyond me.
A pure Linux fanboy wrote that blog post that made its way to Slashdot's homepage. He just wants HP to put Linux on the hot new product, when really this is a Windows Tablet with a few new cool apps writen for it.
You need a few drinking buddies, a long banquet table with a long, heavy tablecloth, and one prostitute.
The idea is to sit at the table while the hooker(who is under the table) will chose one of the men at random and begin sucking his dick.
The object of the game is to receive fellatio and come without making it known to the other guys. For example, if the hooker chooses you and you squirm or grunt whilst having your dick sucked, and one of the guys calls you on it, then you lose and you have to buy the next round of beers before the hooker chooses another man at random.
It's a game GNU/Linux users play.

My belief is that Stephenson still hasn't found a way to finish a novel properly, so he keeps writing them longer and longer, trying to find the ending.
I don't think Cryptonomicon would have worked if any shorter but then, I preferred the longer version of Stranger In a Strange Land simply because there was more of it...

The desktop may ruin it... If their "open source expert" is to be believed "...command-line hacking for basic system configuration is a thing of the past"
Now, if you consider 'sudo vim/etc/apache2/httpd.conf' or whatever invocation you prefer/require as anything approaching "hacking" you may be in need of a little more learning.
If this guy is to be believed I'll be running unnecessary X sessions to start BIND...
...or maybe just a little, very simple text file manipulation is all that's required to get a service going the way you like it.
The shell will never be a "thing of the past" as it is (and probably will be) the most efficient way to achieve certain simple (and very advanced) things.
you've still got to obtain binaries to compile that code. and everyone is dependent on the BIOS, too. is there even such a thing as PCs with opensource BIOS?
And how can you trust the original Pastel code that birthed the GCC compiler set? Sheeit, there are probably exploits injected way back that still exist... And what about the processor itself? Pentium bug, anyone?
As for a C compiler... You'd surely require a series of hand-assembled bootstraps to be sure you were safe... and if the target machine's BIOS has been exploited then it doesn't really matter how you build...
Or you could assess the risk in a reasonable manner.
Slashdot Mirror
They'll be able to get more precious lines of code in.
I wonder how many lines of code slashbot editors feel is enough to make it a triple-A title.
Oh, for a spare mod point! :)
So has the Commodore 64:

Posting that on Slashdot is just cruel...
It would be like someone posting the ZX81 web server...
Hrm, not sure the direct link works now. They're called the Pasante Unique anyway... You'll find them on there.

FF3 is plenty good enough for me to thoroughly enjoy an episode of 'Burn Notice' on Hulu just now on that very computer.
Wow! FF3 must be a fantastic piece of software if it can make Burn Notice watchable.
...leaved...
No excuse for this - have had my coffee and everything
I use nano, textwrangler, and jEdit...
I found jEdit to be sluggish at times. It was just as powerful as I required, but I wound up switching to Komodo Edit. It's code validation leaved jEdit in the dust and it just about matches the other features I need.
Still based on a bloaty framework, but not as :)
Yet another web dev WYSIWYG done in javascript. Creeps, crashs and crawls whereas a desktop app like Eclipse is far more reliable and stable.
Hahaha.
Oh wait, you were serious. Let me laugh even harder - HAW HAW HAW!

So here, watching TV certainly is a common use of broadband.
You're still watching it on a TV though, right? It's just standard TV over IP, not TV on your computer.
Here?
OK, so it's not an "all". :-)
Wish dtrace was under a GPL compatible license... :-)
This was in my browser history.
Bit outdated, but indicative of the fact that useful stuff resides on geocities.
Oh, just remembered zx32 which I used to use back in my Windows days.

The quality of the encoder makes a massive difference too, though.
