u ppl are so naive, it hurts!
u think anybody in washington cares about net-neutrality ?!... u must be new on this earth.
most of them have no idea what that is and dont even wanna know.. hell, most of them cant even understand this stuff.
what they DO KNOW and DO CARE about are CampainContributions.. and big internet companies like google&co were probably kind of "lazy" with the contributions... and washington decided to show them who's the real boss and how fragile their position is.. it's THAT SIMPLE!
and i doubt that legislation about net-neutrality will pass anytime soon... this is a huge cash-cow for politicians... u want net-neutrality, u contribute, u oppose it, u contribute.. why would anyone wanna pass a law and kill the cash-cow?!?!
Even when lots of different applications, many of them efficiently multi-threaded, are run on 10.4.5 or 10.4.6 only the first two CPUs are used efficiently while the third and fourth are getting plenty of work....but aren't quite living up to their full potential. Each added core after four seems to drop off in efficiency....not because OS X doesn't handle lots of processors properly, it does. In fact it's an industry leader in terms of being ready for the next generation of multicore, multiprocessor technology. It has been since day one and Apple has consistently kept it at the leading edge since then.
The problem is, simply, getting all of those core to have the maximum possible positive effect on the performance of each application. When simulating the realistic workloads of almost every kind of user, more than four cores rapidly lost any effect because there just weren't enough threads, efficiently enough balanced, to make good use of more CPU's.
translation from apple-fanboy babble to english : when it comes to handling more than 2 CPUs, MacOSX sucks as bad as most other OS's out there
and btw... we dont know exactly how, but our experts are pretty sure that M$ is the main culprit
- Big response doesn't mean I like you. Could just be I'm amused.
no, u r not.. and whos "putting up a show" now?
- I made you my enemy because if you really are as immature as I think, I don't want to hear much else you have to say. The Foe system makes it easy to filter you out.
and why u wanna filter me out? u afraid i might hurt your feelings?
- 2 replies wasn't proof that you were stupid. It had to do with what was in the second reply -- it really wasn't necessary.
i beg to differ.. in fact i kind of doubt anything unnecessary exists in this world
- controlling fear is easier than not having fear, but not as healthy. Same with anger.
sometimes other ppl healthiness is more important.. and controlling doesnt mean trying to stop or swallow it.. thats not even posible.. e.g. for fear, some smarter than me ppl dicovered that the best way to control it, is to let it run right through u... and i cant really explain, but i think fear & anger are somehow the same thing
- holding tears back can do more harm than good, even as strength to someone else
i totally disagree
-- it's good for them to realize you're human.
very true.. but human != crying baby.. laughing also makes u human.. takin care of others, does that too.. and so on
No, it doesn't really matter that much to me. I share my opinions out of generosity. Especially here -- maybe I will make you a better person. I doubt it, but there is a chance for you to learn something from me, and for me to learn something from you.
u r right about sharing opinions.. but everytime u truly learn something, it Hurts.. changing yourself, changing your beliefs, Hurts.. and most ppl prefer to run away
You're right, better to be happy than to "be a man".
of course i'm right;)
In fact, better to have, show, and share emotion than to put on a show, and somehow convince yourself it's for the sake of others.
no, it's not better... imagine u r in the middle of a big disaster.. u feel the fear growing inside, like everyone else.. who's better if u "share the emotion" ?.. then reduce the size of that "disaster" as much as u want and u apply the same logic to any kind of problematic situation.
and btw, showing and sharing "bad emotions" is a form of egoism.. it helps you more than it helps any1 else and it puts your "weight" on their shoulders.. if u r sincere, most ppl dont mind taking or sharing your weight, some even ask for it.. but giving it to them is still a form of egoism
Although I guess that's better than what I thought, which is holding your emotions inside to prove you're a man, to satisfy your ego.
ego is good too.. it means SelfRespect.. keeps u from making a fool of yourself and embarassing ppl around u.. of course, excess ego is bad like any other excess.. but u r right, my original posts werent about "satisfying my ego"
You're not my only one, I have one other. I will go through later and see which ones I want to keep.
looks like i dont have any enemy.. i thought u'll gonna be added automatically since u made me a foe
PS
and btw.. i dont really care if u like me or not.. i kind of like u.. i always liked contrasts, ppl that are very diff from me, etc... ppl with same oppinions never help u grow or learn.. they may make u feel good about yourself and enforce what u already knew..but that's all u get from them.
u r funny;).. and so full of contradictions...
e.g.
- u say i'm not worthy... but then u post a big response.. offtopic and adhominem too
- u say u r mature and i'm some rebel boy with a bad temper.. but then u make me your enemy, although i did only post an oppinion that contradicts yours.. and i havent said any single word about u personally
- u talk about my 2 replies like that's the proof i'm stupid... nice try:)... so what if i posted 2 replies?.. i may have posted 4000.. as long as one keeps thinking, thoughts & oppinions change, new ones come, etc... thinking and being smart are also "continuous battles"
and btw, when i say "battle", that doesnt mean "kick ass" like u wrote above.. controlling your fear, holding your tears in order to provide strength and confort for others.. that's also a "battle".. and it's quite a bit harder than the one with the "spears"
but in the end, what I say, think or do, shouldnt matter that much for u.. it's only my oppinion and acting like that suits me... it may not suit you or some other ppl.. and a better purpose for everyone is "to be happy".. way better and more worthy than "being a man" or pretty much anything else
Boys try not to cry to prove they're all grown-up. Men don't have anything to prove.
and btw.. there is a very old saying - "God counts women's tears"... very smart and soul-deep one.
but i'm pretty sure God counts men's tears too... just to know how many times he has to kick theyr sorry asses
stand your ground and take it like a man dude!.. there are already enough tears in this world and enough ppl to shed them
Boys try not to cry to prove they're all grown-up. Men don't have anything to prove.
that is utter crap, coming from the "mommy i cant stop myself crying" department !!!
being a Man is not a de-facto state, it's a continuous battle.. and you have to prove yourself every single second
I think Richard Stallman put it quite nicely:
"I would describe programming as a craft, which is a kind of art, but not a fine art. Craft means making useful objects with perhaps decorative touches. Fine art means making things purely for their beauty."
Programming is same as Architecture - engineering with a decorative and creative touch... and just as an architect can design a non-functional space for the pure beauty of it, a programmer can write an entry for the obfuscated-code contest:)
"Actually, I DID scream. Never in my fucking life did I actually get so emotional about how fucked up our government is. Today, I let out a deep fucking scream to let it all out."
this was moderated Funny ?!?!
i guess you can scream again:)
the best thing AOL can do for the international community and for the Internet, is to "close source" their users.. just keep them on a sepparate "AOLNet" and everybody will be happy
i'm ready to pay a monthly subscription to AOL for that !;)
it is pretty bad.. the console producers have a level of control over your machine, that PC makers never had.
u need their approval to write applications for a console, you can only install/use approved software, you cannot easily change hardware, etc... al the "benefits" of a closed platform.
not only PC-Gaming, the whole home-PC industry is in danger.
just add a browser, an email app and a picturre/movie/music/tv player to that game-console and over 90% of the people dont need the home PC anymore
To add insult to injusry the 40kg petrol-tank can trivially be refilled in a minute or two, while the battery-pack weighing ten times as much and storing a tenth of the energy, needs hours at best to approach full.
get out of the car... take empty baterry out... put *another*, full baterry in... 2 minutes tops
even petrol-rednecks like u can do it;)
yes, i calculated the AverageGrade... that's the statistical value used by schools and the parent post itself talks about it:
"...the average score of average American's taking Calculus exams..."
his post is in fact inconsistent, he starts with the Average and then switches to Median... it's like 50% my bad and 50% his;)
"at least half of those taking the test will score above the median."
u may think that's obvious, but it's not.
imagine u had 5 students taking a test... their grades were: 10, 2,1,1,1
the MedianGrade grade is (10+2+1+1+1)/5 = 3... and u have only ONE student above it... or 20% of the students !

and happy holiday. ... otherwise someone may soon post a "u 2 get a room" reply :)
and we better continue this over email, or some IM
or u can see it from another perspective - if your dog licks your armor, you'll find yourself in deep shit
