    You do realize that socialists were sent to the concentration camps just as gays, Jews, and other undesirables were, right?

    5-dimensional Rubik's Cube is word evil.

    I dual-boot into Windoze to play Half-Life 2(which is really fun to play but a fucking bitch to install because of Steam), but you can still get .NET for Linux: It's called Mono.

    Of course not. 'Sources' and 'Proof' are absurd liberal myths and 'reality' has a strong liberal bias.

    Probably because the former is a joke and the latter is pseudoscience disguised as science.

    NYTimes registration forces you to disclose personal information. Bugzilla database: email and a password. If you don't see a difference there you're technically illiterate. And critical security vulnerabilities are a bit different from various news articles.

    So, every Firefox browser should poll Mozilla every minute, and should download every update at the same time? Great Plan!

    WHY do you HAVE to USE so many CAPITAL LETTERS?

  10. Re:Mozilla bug database is a joke on Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.4 Released · · Score: 1

    For NYTimes, you have to give a lot more than an email address and a password. That's all you have to give to sign up for a Bugzilla database.

    You do realize that Open Source devs *like* to program, right?

    It's kinda funny seeing the "No Nerds" ads for Vonage on a site called "News for Nerds".

  17. Re:I can see the new Mac ad now... on Jobs' Glass Elevator Locks in Group Customers · · Score: 1

    I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you Mac fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a Mac elevator (a 8600/300 w/64 Megs of RAM) for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to move 17 people from one floor on the hard drive to another floor. 20 minutes. At home, on my Pentium Pro 200 elevator running NT 4, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this Mac, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that. In addition, during this file transfer, Netscape will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even BBEdit Lite is straining to keep up as I type this. I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various Macs, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a Mac that has run faster than its Wintel counterpart, despite the Macs' faster elevator architecture. My 486/66 with 8 megs of ram runs faster than this 300 mhz machine at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that the Macintosh is a superior elevator. Mac addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a Mac over other faster, cheaper, more stable elevators.

    I'm behind that big door marked 'Stargate Command' with eight deadbolts and a padlock, thank you very much. (Actually, there's a door marked 'Stargate Command' with six locks in the real Cheyenne Mountain facility, unfortunately it leads to a broom closet)

    What you failed to mention was that that was actually #elevator-dev and has nothing to do with helping newbies, try the actual #elevator channel. I have *never* seen a rude 'rtfm' response except when the person was doing nothing but asking ridiculously idiotic questions. We have things to do as well.
