  1. Re:What a joke. on Annual Big Brother Award Winners Announced · · Score: -1

    the populace was too brain-dead??
    There were protest marches across the country that brought cities to a standstill, enquiry after enquiry with an answer bought by Blair, massive public opinion against it and we were STILL dragged to war.

    The very enquiries that could shed light on the reasons behind the war are so biased they turn out like this:
    1. Launch Enquiry
    2. ???
    3. No-one's fault!

    Just because the government ignored every single plea to ignore this war does not mean the population is braindead. Do you honestly think the British public can stand the sight of Bush's dirty sycophant in office? I know I can't and I voted Labour last time.

  2. Re:MSH on Bash 3.0 Released · · Score: -1
    oh man

    Although still in development, a number of key features of MSH have already been revealed, including: * commandlets all inherit certain options, allowing the user to choose things such as the level of interaction and how to deal with errors - including a "suspend" feature, which allows the user to enter a new command shell, investigate a problem, and then continue with the original command. A simple mechanism is built-in for the programmer to define the prompts to be shown in such circumstances. * options are generally whole words, but can be specified to the minimum number of letters necessarily (e.g. the option -show-detailed-information could be entered as -s if no other option began with 's') * tab completion * the ability to assign the output of a command to a variable, which will then be an object or array of objects inspectable in any way desired

    switches? tabs? piped output? way to innovate!

    Badge engineering on wiki
    The problem is envy though, I personally drive a Vauxhall, with an identical model being offered by Opel. The name difference implies a lot more that the car being taken to a factory to have the badges swapped, e.g. german name = german quality, made in uk = first name terms with service department.

    It's always room temperature - it just depends how hot the room actually is.

    'The Farnsworth Paradox' is proof that Futurama is too good for mainstream viewing.
    An work of genius unappreciated by an audience forever presented with reality tv nobrainer shows.

  15. Re:50K yen? Can that be right? on Japanese Anime Industry In Danger Of Fragmentation · · Score: 1

    "though, if you would make more working at mcdonalds whats the fucking point of being a cel paint slave for that price?" sadly it's the reason we've all taken bad jobs that pay worse than retail/customer service - it's depressing that talented individuals are doing this on the slight chance of progression.

  16. extra extra! on Japanese Anime Industry In Danger Of Fragmentation · · Score: 1

    advocates use of outsourcing, begins downward spiral. Outsourcing is the exploitation of cheap labour. If the job is being done as well then the same wages are deserved, not just what the outsourcer can get away with. Meanwhile a fine entertainment media begins a not-so-slow death.

  17. Re:Westernisation? on Japanese Anime Industry In Danger Of Fragmentation · · Score: 1

    No, it's a result of it following a number of other industries. It beggars belief that outsourcing have even been given a chance past its infancy to ruin so many corporations reputation.
