Maybe it's must me but I would like to see Ubuntu slow down releases, currently they release major releases every few months, very rarely are they stable or free of major bugs. I wish they would remember there are numbers after the . and make a good stable OS that is workable and reasonable bug wise before they jump over the next hurdle prematurely like usual.
Is that so? I believe they have a damn lot of money, which can be used to buy people with power to get the law changed. How fuck would Linux be if MS got the law changed so that you MUST have permission from all people who make a software product to use their stuff, in writing? I can easily spin that so it looks like it would make sense even if the truth is quite the opposite.
Does Linus go get a million letters or does he have major legal trouble in American courts?
Megan's law is political gold though. It makes people feel safer and you are thinking of the children. There is not a single law you could make to give you more general public cred than that.
I have Bipolar, good luck keeping your tracking on me straight!
Seriously WTF though. How the hell can profiling like this even be legal when you consider all the info Google already has? These guys know more about people that the government does.
Silly crap? Lets just assume for a minute that we have limited resources on this planet and we're wasting them and making the Earth hotter through it. I mean it's all in our heads but lets just say that maybe the case.
Now if we take 20 million people with 1 monitor, 1 PC and 1 Printer. That is 60 million little lights being wasteful if we assume it's 1 light per device. Wouldn't you think that is quite a power drain should we use them for several days a week at a couple of hours a day?
JoCo got lucky with A thing a week and it really helped the fanbase, each week people would go back to get a new song, while they aren't all great they are all worth listening to at least once. So as his skills grew and he tried different styles the followers also changed and grew in musical tastes he tried.
I wish the guy much luck but I wish he'd do a Thing a week again if only to see how he continues to evolve with easily defined timelines.
To test everything evenly you need a constant situation that will not change without you manually changing it, a "real city" is the complete opposite of this. So if Tuesday you get stuck behind a bus and on Wednesday you've got the rad to yourself, the results are clearly quite different.
If anti virus and background aps take an entire core to themselves I think we need to rethink our entire industry. I mean fuck me that is a lot of power for something we shouldn't even need if we had good security in the OS by default.
I never implied we should get rid of them all, but we need to balance it. Teach web 2.0 AFTER you've taught good design and function. a good basic site in plain old HTML is as good as any web 2.0 site.
It's a case of teaching the idiots before giving them the guns.
Tools will be judged by their most common use. This is a sad truth but a truth none the less.
I live in the country side, I see 4x4s all day every day. Because here people use them for farm work, it makes sense and does the job. But if you look on TV 4x4s are now linked to middle aged women in the middle of a big city. Which is completely the wrong job for them. Web 2.0 3.0 or 4.6 are all going to be the same.
We remember the bad stuff and ignore the good. Because we're more inclined to remember negative than good.:)
These people don't have a single clue about a good website design, they just think "oh that is so awesome I must have it!", so they start swinging wildly at shadows and end up destroying the entire point of the process.
Look at Myspace, these people go "OMG MUSIC ON MY WEBSITE! SO COOL!" but have no damn clue how annoying it is, or how it eats bandwidth and makes their profiles pretty much unusable for Dial up users. But they don't know about this because "ZOMG SO COOL!!!"
See why there is a backlash now? Give an idiot a hammer and tell him to knock down a wall and he'll take down the house. Give an expert a hammer and he'll knock the wall down without causing any damage to the building at all.
No see, point 1 will be lawsuits now. Parents will go nuts.
But when little Timmy hits 25 and can't work because he's terrified of gun men and won't leave the house, well little Timmy can go point his finger at them and go "You ruined my life, you pay up NOW!"
Please tell me how I plan for a mad man with fire arms. I would really like to know how you plan your exits while you have a guy in an unknown position heading towards unknown locations. Do you play Russian roullete and let 1 class get massacred so the others can escape, or do you all move to 1 location and get shot when he realizes you're all going to parking lot B?
If you've ever played any sort of FPS game you know full well people react in odd ways and you can't predict which way they will come at you from, let alone make a formal plan for such a situation. Putting this into real world setting you're plan revolves on 99% luck and 1% skill.
We need to submit this to the Darwin awards and then wait for the children to grow up and sue the fuck out of these teachers.
There is just a line where stupidity goes from a mistake to outright malice. This crossed the line, turned round and started to pee on it while singing "it's raining men" and tap dancing.
Excuse me? Japanese smiilies tend to focus on the mouth more than the eyes. The ^_^ and similar emoticons are American used FAR more than Japanese used, since they have such a larger set of symbols they can make some much better emoticons.
If Slashdot didn't rape Japanese I would post a few.
ah, community may of been the wrong word. People who play a couple of hours a week and don't much care or have any real passion, to me aren't gamers. Where as someone who has a passion for games will follow sites and such and be part of the community in that sense.
I worded it wrongly, but it is a passion thing which leads you to do more than just play the odd game and hence be involved in a larger thing (aka a community).
Maybe it's just me but I find the article to be little more than cock stroking among a peer group in effect.
"I said no to my kids playing games and now they're all well adjusted perfectly fine kids, this clearly shows that no games was what made my kids will adjusted" and then she says "It's a delight to see my kids sitting down and talking, the subject doesn't even matter". So if they all sat down and discussed Half life's plot is that some how being well adjusted and delightful, or is it suddenly evil as the topic is games?
Secondly, she points out how fantastic radio dramas are, yet the reasons she says they are good is the exact thing a good game of Nethack will give you. That little rat known as a Q is infact trying to rip your throat out, so maybe your character dodges, left, then right and finally thrusts his sword into the foul beast. Yet because the medium is different it is "clearly" some evil twisted non-imagination based thing.
Seems to me like this is just some mother going "oh my kids are great, I raised them so well!" when she has zero evidence of what happens if she had let them all watch porn all day and play games to their fill because there is only 1 chance to do it and you will never know the alternative's results.
Slashdot Mirror
Isn't not quite solid not quite liquid known as Jelly/Jello/Gel?
Since when a movie called "Shooter" and Intel part of Valve and Steam?
Also they put them in the weirdest places. A map like Office would suit it yet Dust doesn't, so which has ads again?

Murder victims tend to lack the money and legal bribery to get laws made in their favour. Money speaks and dead people don't :)

No. Not at all.
Stuff like this belongs in drivel like "Hello" and over celebrity gossip magazines, NOT Slashdot.
It has no merit what so ever.
And exactly how is this fair?

Who the fuck is coding THAT poorly?

Never seen a 24/7 tescos have you? :P
I've never heard of this 6 hours bullshit before.
If you want positive feed back then don't do fucked up stuff.
You can't claim to be whiter than white if you're rolling around in pig shit and charcoal all day.

It's dyslexic 'community'.
I didn't catch it til after I posted.
