You're a loonie and a quack. Anyone who purports to cure cancer, colic, asthma, etc, with spinal manipulation is a fraud. And chelation therapy does not cure autism, no matter how many chemicals you pump through a kid. It just doesn't fucking work, you fraud. It's child abuse and defrauding the parents. And to suggest that it works either says you are a cynical liar, or you're "friggin retahdid" as we say here in the Northeast.
I don't know what psychoactive drugs you're taking, but increase or decrease the dosage, because whatever it is you're taking, it's incorrect.
>"never did suffer data visualization fools gladly"
suffer: verb - to put up with, to endure, to tolerate
data visualization fools - collective noun - idiots that don't know how to draw a graph.
gladly: adverb - enjoy with a smile. this word modifies the verb "suffer"
To rewrite the sentence fragment:
"never did gladly tolerate idiots that can't draw a good graph"
I like the original better.
> and "got Few's dander up"
If you've ever angered an animal enough to provoke a fight or flight response, its fur stands on end and its dander (skin flakes and dried saliva from grooming) is disturbed in a cloud as it moves. This can be seen if backlit. It's pissed.
Oingo Boingo Only A Lad Lyrics Johnny was bad, even as a child everybody could tell Everyone said if you don't get straight You'll surely go to hell
But Johnny didn't care He was an outlaw by the time that he was Ten years old He didn't wanna do what he was told Just a prankster, juvenile gangster
His teachers didn't understand They kicked him out of school At a tender early age Just because he didn't want to learn things (Had other interests) He liked to burn things
The lady down the block She had a radio that Johnny wanted oh so bad So he took it the first chance he had Then he shot her in the leg And this is what she said Only a lad You really can't blame him Only a lad Society made him Only a lad He's our responsibility Only a lad He really couldn't help it Only a lad He didn't want to do it Only a lad He's underprivileged and abused Perhaps a little bit confused
His parents gave up they couldn't influence his attitude Nobody could help The little man had no gratitude
And when he stole the car Nobody dreamed that he would Try to take it so far He didn't mean to hit the poor man Who had to go and die It made the judge cry
Only a lad He really couldn't help it Only a lad He didn't want to do it Only a lad He's underprivileged and abused Perhaps a little bit confused
It's not his fault that he can't behave Society made him go astray Perhaps if we're nice he'll go away Perhaps he'll go away He'll go away
(Repeat chorus)
Hey there Johnny you really don't fool me You get away with murder And you think it's funny You don't give a damn if we live or if we die Hey there Johnny boy I hope you fry!
Because unless he has part time work, he has no money of his own. Being that he steals, he has too much time on his hands and should earn some.
Then maybe he would have some respect for what other people have and refrain from stealing, and buy his own stuff.
It's amazing how people like you want to let this kid off without anything at all. I'm going to queue up "Only A Lad" by Oingo Boingo and dedicate it to you idiots.
>He should have been told to pay a normal bail like any other person and if he couldn't afford to pay bail then the xbox would have been a reasonable means for him to secure his bail. The Judge out right gave punishment before a trial. Forcing the child who was yet to be found guilty to be punished. It was IMO unreasonable.
Bullshit.
The judge did not punish the boy. Taking your argument and applying it to adults in similar situations means that any bail at all is punishment because the adult is out of money until the charges are disposed of one way or another. The kid has no money, for either bail or to buy a bond. Thus, the xbox.
Or would you prefer housing the child in a correctional facility at your expense (as a taxpayer) until his hearing? That's what happens to people cannot afford bail.
ITT: everyone on slashdot but a few misunderstands what bail is.
It's a guarantee of showing up to court. He gets his xbox back if he shows up to court. If he doesn't, it becomes property of the government. Explain how this is unreasonable.
It's reasonable bail if you factor in the cost of the Xbox. It's not like that there aren't any Xboxes that can be bought to replace it. And it's not like it's gone forever, he will get it back if he shows up to court.
Show me your work in how you figured that this was unreasonable bail.

You don't run Linux on Sun equipment. Especially Sparc.
You don't know what I went through when I tried going through the (flawed) Gentoo-on-Sparc instructions and install. You get a system that builds itself for a week, chroots out, attempts to reboot, and becomes unbootable to the point where it will no longer recognize the disks. Thank gawd for little miracles and Sun's boot ROM and the built in dd to nuke the first 1000 blocks.
BUSINESS SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON REPEAT CUSTOMERS. ENFORCED OBSOLESCENCE WILL MAKE PEOPLE GO ELSEWHERE, LIKE A COMPETITOR. LIKE IBM IN THIS CASE.
It's not as if Solaris support is free, ya know. They make money even on the old equipment. This is just Larry being a dick.
One of the reasons for buying Sun equipment in the first place, and paying for the premium over generic white box equipment, was its longevity. If this is no longer the case and the customers are forced on an upgrade path, why stay with Sun/Oracle equipment when there is a supplier that will actually do long-term support? IBM is going to love this.
Because it will be bought out by a company to "increase its holdings" whereupon it will be milked for what it's worth and be left to die. No updates, nothing. This is especially true if it is a financial company or a "group of investors." - R&D and development are "overhead." It is "better" for them to get what they can and run with the profits.
Because actually running a company requires work.
A rather infamous example is Partition Magic. It was bought by Symantec and never received an update in its entire life (hah) there. It was bought at version 8.0 and Symantec stopped selling it at version 8.0 - not even a point release update.
Solaris, under the thumb of Larry Ellison, looks to be something that will disappear. Among other things that they bought while acquiring Sun. We know he has no love for SuSE. Will SuSE be spun off or will it be shut down? He's already got his "Unbreakable Linux" from Redhat.
What's to stop Microsoft from buying Opera and making it disappear then "integrating its technologies" into IE10? They are no longer being watched as a "criminal monopolist."
>what kind of things do you find you need to tweak around/etc in Debian?
For me?
Wireless and sound. Those are the two big ones. And then a few minor things which are just config stuff like where to put sshd and such, but that's in either Debian or Ubuntu.

Oingo Boingo Only A Lad Lyrics
Johnny was bad, even as a child everybody could tell
Everyone said if you don't get straight
You'll surely go to hell
But Johnny didn't care
He was an outlaw by the time that he was
Ten years old
He didn't wanna do what he was told
Just a prankster, juvenile gangster
His teachers didn't understand
They kicked him out of school
At a tender early age
Just because he didn't want to learn things
(Had other interests)
He liked to burn things
The lady down the block
She had a radio that Johnny wanted oh so bad
So he took it the first chance he had
Then he shot her in the leg
And this is what she said
Only a lad
You really can't blame him
Only a lad
Society made him
Only a lad
He's our responsibility
Only a lad
He really couldn't help it
Only a lad
He didn't want to do it
Only a lad
He's underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused
His parents gave up they couldn't influence his attitude
Nobody could help
The little man had no gratitude
And when he stole the car
Nobody dreamed that he would
Try to take it so far
He didn't mean to hit the poor man
Who had to go and die
It made the judge cry
Only a lad
He really couldn't help it
Only a lad
He didn't want to do it
Only a lad
He's underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused
It's not his fault that he can't behave
Society made him go astray
Perhaps if we're nice he'll go away
Perhaps he'll go away
He'll go away
(Repeat chorus)
Hey there Johnny you really don't fool me
You get away with murder
And you think it's funny
You don't give a damn if we live or if we die
Hey there Johnny boy
I hope you fry!
