I'm sick and tired of people saying they're at 50. Some jokers put it into their.sigs. Who gives a damn? Any dumb shit can do it; if you have an IQ above room temperature, it shouldnt take you more than a month of relevant posting.
And no, burning stuff to a single CD and wiping it so you can play back your MP3s isn't a backup - you've just made the natural disaster issue portable.
It would truly be a disaster if my vast archive of Celine Dione mp3's got damaged...
All three cases probably require some degree of civil disobedience for US citizens--in the form of not honoring software patents.
Sure, I'm down for civil disobedience -- but then again, I'm not a big company. Legitimate businesses are much less likely to use software created with even a little civil disobedience.
Seriously. When did "admins" turn into such pussies? Using text-based configuration is not so bad, especially when you can put the full power of $EDITOR and perl/sh/etc to use grinding on them to get things done quickly, without fumbling with a mouse for 10 minutes.
Whenever there is mention of a movie coming out on/., someone invariably posts the exact same message. I'm glad to see other people are sick of it too. It was funny the first 8 times, folks.

Having a motherboard which boasts of the ability to make me buy new hardware isn't quite what I'm looking for.
Well, I doubt it's really aimed at people with old peripherals. It's intended for new machines with new everything.
And you can't really blame them for trying to cut off old technologies... someone had to start doing it, or we'd be using old standards forever. Remember the old, big, round keyboard adaptor? (I dont even remember what it was called.) If manufacturers never said "OK, enoughs enough, PS/2 or the highway from now on" we'd still be stuck with that crap. You got to make sacrifices if you want progress.
I'd much rather use something open source to redeem myself for the sins of using an MS OS,
Anyone else envision RMS (or am I thinking of another rabid/psycho three-letter nickname guy), sitting on the blind side of a confessional, with mere mortals begging forgiveness for using non-open software on the other?
I for one am *extremely* grateful to the developers of high-quality applications that I use for work and play. I don't know what I would use if not for mozilla, but I'm sure it would not be as cool. (No replies about konqueror or Opera. Sorry, but they just don't cut it for me.) It's been a long, painful road, with more than a few bug reports, some patches, and more crashes than I can shake a stick at, but I've had fun. And if the ends justify the means, well then 1.0's delay is justified.
now if I take those same CDs into work, convert them into MP3s, and let the same people listen to them, now its "pirating"?
What if you're using your CD in your car, and someone at your work is listening to the same CD's mp3's? You got two people using the same disc, essentially.

The karma whore for this story is here
Can you post more info about your setup? I'm very interested in something like this, and have been investigating options for a while.
Can you drop the right cvs switches to get RC1? I have some patches I need to apply before I can use mozilla. Gracias.
.....too nice and friendly; poor guys.
I'm gonna donate some cash to them right now, because I don't want to see Microsoft die.

Interesting CAD drawings... Particularly the professor's name, in the lower right...

Ignore these stupid ass stories. They make me stupider for having read them.
/. for years, and it dont make hasnt me any stupid!

You need to fucking relax. The guy was just pointing out something he thought was neat.

I wish they were talking of yet a different duffy. (I couldn't find a picture portraying her GREAT (perfect?) legs.)
The latest Akira DVD release has...
Can you give the ASIN number?

Despite the speed of today's CPU's, having to use CPU cycles to do WiFi networking is not a great idea
Unless your Intel, looking to give an excuse to Joe Consumer to upgrade.
It was awesome; he could have been bigger than Brad Pitt. Lord knows he looks better and is BUILT better.
The hell you say! Brad Pitt is way better looking, and his muscles are... wait, why do I know this... OH GOD! I'M GAY!
You're both wrong. It's these guys.

Hmm... that would make sense. Forcing CD tracks to go through the OS would allow them to enforce DRM somehow.
CBDTPA universally rejected and Hailstorm bites the dust. I have to say, today was a good day.
Not to mention no barkin' from the dog, no smog, and mama cooked the breakfast with no hog.

It would be interesting to see how much bandwidth is saved by not sending those two other characters to browsers. I bet it adds up quick. :)
.3. You don't have to stick with the 8 in front, which I can live with.
You're right about 8.3, though. It disgusts me. But this is just the
