Is "styley" a word? Also, it should be "its finger", not "it's finger."
The example in fact shows the correct use of [sic], to point out mistakes in something you are quoting directly,since as you say "styley" is not a word and it should indeed be "its finger".
This does nothing either to justify or criticise using [sic] just to be snarky.
My company has its own intranet, with online document storage and email that works fine with any web browser.
Local storage on laptops etc is already being deprecated.
That's a long winded way to say you work at Google.
No, if he worked at Google the first line would have read "...with online document storage and email that works fine with any web browser called Chrome".
Yeah wherever will a bunch of farmers get their hands on earth digging and moving equipment...
They'll probably get a grant from the fucking EU to buy new JCBs, claim 100% capital allowances against the full cost, and keep the equipment after the "internet cables" are laid between their friends' multi-million pound farmhouses.
All farms and land should be compulsorily purchased at the price that was paid for it (so about twopence an acre if it was pre-WW2) and nationalised.
Britain is the name of the island. The countries within it are Scotland, England and Wales.
Saying that Lancashire is in the middle of Britain is about as useful as saying that Texas is in the middle of (the continent of North and South) America.
Most people I know don't live in cities because they're too fucking expensive, not because they enjoy the smell of cow shit, no culture and one day a week bus services.
Or, publish a completely off-topic rant that annoys everyone who came here for intelligent commentary. Oh, and post it A/C.
Any criticism of slashdot editors is off-topic by definition, unless it's an article about how fucking brilliant the editors are. Which is perhaps unlikely.
This is why we need to move to the metric system. Without fail, every time someone mentions "inches", someone always inevitably remarks about the male sex organ.
So people using the metric system don't ever talk about the male sex organ?
A brief survey of some of the classics of adult art films from Europe would indicate otherwise.
Slavery is the very antithesis of capitalism, which is the economic paradigm that finally ended it.
There is nothing in the theory of pure capitalism which says it is opposed to slavery. In fact, the only way slavery is ended is when the government makes it illegal, and that is an interference in the free market.
The latter was in some ways a form of prostitution; in exchange for a clean indoor job involving standing around handing out food and drink and shifting luggage, all board, lodging and clothes provided, a footman was expected to service the mistress and perhaps her friends
If you read any Victorian novel, the footmen are almost always well-built and good-looking, with fine calves and a ready smile. You can see why they annoy the god-fearing, moralistic young heroes, who clearly aren't getting anywhere near the same quantity or quality of horizontal jogging.
As long as the wealth is created in a free market, that wealth is a reflection of merit, either of the individual in possession of the wealth or of someone who left it to them voluntarily.
Remind me again how being born to rich parents is meritorious?
You are clearly a deranged socialist who can't understand common sense. The wealth is meritorious in itself. Once created, it creates meritoriousness in all who are clever enough to touch it. An so a Meritoriocracy is created. You poor peasants wouldn't understand.
Now get off my expensively manicured front lawn, you unutterable oik.

The possession of wealth is a reflection of the fact that you have a fuck of a lot of money, nothing more.
I don't know what merit you think the Oligarchs in Russia have, other than being good gangsters.
However flawed Minority Report was, compared with Johnny Mnemonic it's Citizen Kane. How they could fuck up William Gibson's vision so badly and tediously is beyond me.
For example, in China a red envelope is a good thing to receive, whereas in the UK it's a final demand for a bill. An owl signifies intelligence in most of Europe, evil in parts of latin America, and stupidity in much of Asia
Yet another reason why there should be one world language (UK English) and one world culture (UK/English).
I leave my location as an exercise for the reader.

I don't really know QuickOffice, but I have to suspect that it will suffer from all of the same problems.
The great advantage of QuickOffice is that it has no editing capabilities at present, so it must be limited in how badly it can fuck up your work.

You've misspelt both the words "spelt" and "misspelt".
The irony is not lost on me.
I don't know about US English, but in the UK "spelled" is the correct spelling, even though it's pronounced "spelt".

too much entrenched interests.
I see what you did there.

Why is it 3 inches longer?
Clive Palmer is standing on the front sticking his cock out pretending Kate Winslett is on the end of it.
So, in this Titanic 2.0 we're going to have Gordon Ramsey, Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson?
Well, I wouldn't mind going down on her.
You do realise that Celine Dion will be gigging on this until the heat death of the universe?

Mod parent -5 for knowing any detail whatsoever of the plot of Titanic.

Do what I did. Get a 10" tablet with a physical bluetooth keyboard and headset. You'll never have to worry about getting a seat on the bus again.
What would be impressive is a GUI that allows people (expert level) to handle dozens or even hundreds of tasks
People can't multitask. Trying to handle hundreds of tasks at once would simply mean that you were doing more things even more badly.
FSV is a 3d filesystem viewer like the one in Jurassic Park
Jesus tittyfucking Christ, that website would have been considered antiquated and ugly in 1996.

Futuristic computers in Hollywood movies have always been designed to look cinematic
Wow, who'd have thought?

I'm genuinely glad to see this troll growing and taking on a life of its own. It's approaching "MyCleanPC" levels of hilarity.
