  2. Re:Use Gentoo on Latest Ballmergram Bashes Linux TCO · · Score: 1

    You didn't have to do anything except wait 3 hours for it to fucking compile, I'll take apt-get or urpmi anyday. Of course I'm pretty bitter at the moment though because when I tried out gentoo a little bit ago my first emerge world after install(synced and updated portage fine) would always have an error("to many levels of symlimks" if anyone knows howto fix it) 80% through and afterwords emerge wouldnt work. After three installs I just said fuck it.

    Your guess is as good as anyone else's. There's enough that we don't know about this stuff to make any somewhat exact answer meaningless.

    Well whoopty do, they've still sold the same movies in multiple different formats for the last 30 years. Great, all 3 have never been in the same DVD box set before, they're still the same F&@%!#& movies, I promise you, (*spoiler warning*!) Vader is still Luke's father and Leia still looks hot in the slave girl outfit.

    I'm sure that there arte PLENTY of people who would love to go first. Say you live in a small town in some 3rd world country. When your choices of treatment are a "quite safe" tele-surgery or your local witchdoctor you might have a different perspective on things. So how long till I'm getting spam saying I can grow 8 inches over then phone?

  9. Re:Sex Sells on More on Neuroscience and Marketing · · Score: 1

    How I got to this thread:

    Step 1. Read subject of article and thought "Hmmm, let's see who on /. knows shit about advertising"
    Step 2. Ctrl-F, "sex"

    wait a second...of course! I've figured out Stage 2!

    1. Think of something to sell
    2. Make people think it will get them laid
    3. Profit!!!!!!!

    well that problems solved, now onto NP-complete...

    I hate moderating my crack too, there's nothing worse than having to wait 20 minutes for my next hit so I don't end up smoking it all before I can get more. Every once in a while I just get like an oz. of it and smoke all I want for like almost a day, those days are freaking sweet!

    "my mom knows how to use windows, and will never, ever change her OS"

    Never say never. In 10 years when every major OS has gotten to the point where your mom can sit down at her desk and say "search for Elvis," "IM Bubba, Hello Bubba whats up," and do it with 99% acuracy with her wristwatch/projection screen PC it might not make much diference what OS you use except for price.

  16. Re:Refractive index on New Ceramic Lensed Exilim Ex-S100 · · Score: 1

    I've seen some pretty small glass lens's get pretty good quality, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

  17. Re:ceramic on New Ceramic Lensed Exilim Ex-S100 · · Score: 2, Funny

    High quality glass lens's were probobaly too cheap to produce so they had to switch to ceramic so they can still charge $600.00 by calling it a nano-composite microstructured giggily fart. At least that's my theory anyway.

    " Judging by some of the things they're trying to sell me, I think they might already be stoned... =P"

    The most important rule in buisness IMHO, "Never overestimate the intelligence of the average consumer." Also brings to mind the old P.T Barnum quote "There's a sucker born every minute."
    The fact that most people really do belive anything they hear, especially if they hear it will get them laid, is the foundation from which the modern economy is built upon.

    Wow, this thread just had me laughing my ass off for a minute. The fact that every post in this thread is modded -1 kinda adds to it too I think. Oh /. will your crazy antics never stop? I guess im losing some points then to but WTF. Against me better judgement I must contribute. But come on, what would /. be without trolls?
    Freaking nothing thats what it would be. I own all you little naughty headed beeyotches. I am 31337 and your "In other words he fails" what man? what kinda stupid BS is that . If I posted that I'd stay anonymous too. He didn't fail it you failed it, got it? No? ok I'll make it clear then, If Bill Gates wanted to go to Burgerking then why not just get big boy. Especially when neither one of them runs linux yet without onions.
