    Telling them to not have sex is just idiocy. It's like telling a hungry person that they don't need food.

    So sex is like food? How poetic.

    Sex is more like the urge to take a dump: it's the most important thing in your mind, then you do it, then you clean yourself disgusted, and finally pretend it never happened.

    There are lots of underprivileged/dying people you could help if you wanted to "continue the species", farm "taxpayers for social programs", or help fulfil "potential to do something great".

    Lemme think... Underprivileged people, often tax-eater ones who can't provide proper education nor suitable environment for their kids... procreating as they wish.
    That and the assumption that it's somewhat bad that I have my own, properly cared for, and raised with my own resources.

    I didn't know humans were cattle-like and easily interchangeable. It's all about numbers, right?

    I'm not claiming it is a rule for AMD processors, but I've had a K6/233 (not K6-2 nor K6-3) which died after a couple of months.
    The processor was properly cooled until the end, it was never overclocked and ran idle most of the time. Still, it just broke.

    There's DNA you may identify was "jew", but things are not that simple.
    The moment you make such connection a rule, you'll end up with things like jew families who are no longer jews and weird things like christian jews.

    and where do you find which command? how do you know the package name? where is that information. how do you know what's in each package? what happens when your distro doesn't have the package you want?

    No need to worry: install Ubuntu.
    Since Ubuntu is based on Debian, it has a huge package collection thus chances are it has everything you need.
    And use its graphic package manager.

    What else do you need?

    It's 2010 and Islam is stuck in the 1300s. It's impact on the world is violent, pushy, and fascist.

    That is unfair to the majority of modern and progressive muslims. The image of Islam we all see is distorted by media coverage, and muslims are usually as irritated as we are by violent, pushy, and fascist muslims.

    Yeah, it's _always_ this same "they are the exception" bullshit.

    When was the last time the "good" muslims did anything about the "bad" ones?
    In the best case, when shit happens, some few muslims go to TV to say "hey, this is bad and we don't do it normally, okay?" while the rest remains silent.

    Welcome to Cheney’s propaganda... which is just as delusional as any religion. Come one! You’re better than this! You are wise enough to make your own opinions.

    The “treat” from Muslim extremists is ridiculously low. Negligible even.

    Have a walk in Europe. Amsterdam is a place you may go.
    See the muslim women walking in black burka-like in a sunny summer afternoon, film makers being killed by muslim fanatics, and people being prosecuted for criticizing Islam, laws being written to accomodate muslim sensibilities, mosques where violence is being preached etc.
    All that under the blessing of the spineless politically-correct muslim-apologetic political rulers in Europe.

    Yep, no threat at all.

    In addition, some OSes, such as Linux, support copy-on-write semantics for memory pages in child processes created with fork (note, Solaris is an example of an OS that *doesn't* do this).

    I, too, expected that to be pretty much standard nowadays.

  19. Re:Why not bring back Amiga OS? on Is OS/2 Coming Back? · · Score: 1

    I guess that such bigotry varied from country to another.

    Where I live Amiga users were enthusiatic, but I've seen enthusiastic PC DOS 286 CGA users too (what, frankly, is something I fail to understand). In either case, nothing too different from the nowadays' annoying 3D PC-gamer teenager.

    I wonder where this "Amiga" = "girlfriend" came from. Perhaps it means that way in Mexico? (I know that "novia" means girlfriend in Spanish)

    Anyway, in Brazil the "Amiga" name itself was rather problematic, since it means "(female) friend" here. -- It sounded, well, stupid to have a computer with such name. PC users kept pestering Amiga users for this very reason.

    I remember that, among the imported magazines you could buy, there was a british one called "CU Amiga".
    Probably the most unafortunate name ever, since "cu" in Portuguese is a rude slang for anus. Try asking for the "She-friend Asshole" magazine - not cool.

    There was no more rabid, frothing at the mouth fanbase than the Amiga people. The current Mac advocates or the people that hand you an Ubuntu burn and say "SUK LESS" have nothing on the insanity the Amigoids had for their platform. The fact that a checkered ball could bounce around a screen while a floppy was formatting was awe-inspiring to them for almost three decades.

    Man, I can see a vein in your neck about to burst.

    Did an Amiga user stole your girlfriend back then?
    Sheesh.
