N.B. I'm not saying he doesn't... I'm just saying the logic is faulty. Similarly it's not terribly insulting to call an Anglo Montrealer of his generation mono-lingual. In fact you'd sort of expect an Anglo of his age who left Montreal over 40 years ago to either not speak French at all or to speak it very badly.
(I seem to actually recall him speaking French at some point... and my recollection is that it was not pretty... but I have never met him not tried to speak French with him so my faulty memory has little value here...)
Shatner isn't bilingual
Wow, way to spit in the eye of a native Montrealer. Mod parent down: -1 Incorrect.
I went to high school in Montreal. Half of my family live there and I can say unequivocally that "native Montrealer" != "bilingual"
Now, it is probably the highest concentration of (English/French) bilingual people in Canada. But saying that he must be bilingual because he from Montreal is like saying that someone must be Cajun because they're from New Orleans.
will have preachers claim that if you play the DNA backwards over some iron filings, you can hear "The soda's in the fridge, all hail the antichrist" repeatedly.
I would sort of expect Ozzy's DNA played backwards to come out as "we apologize for the inconvenience"
What about Chucks genome? he is indestructible and, after all, he invented genetics, didn't he?
But maybe his genome would be too complicated for research...
They already sequenced Chuck, but they only get as far as R O U N D H O U S E . K I C K before the machine breaks.
I didn't try a lot of videos, but I couldn't find a single one that actually worked. And what's the internet without the rick-roll?
Some just show a light gray background, some give the play buttons etc, but show only a black screen even when the red ball at the bottom moves along..
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install current Fedora 9 2. Rick-roll! 3. No profit!
Actual results:
Some videos just show a light gray background, some give the play buttons etc, but in the latter case show only a black screen even when the red ball at the bottom seems to moves along..
Expected results:
Rick Astley in all his glory! People have reported that youtube videos are supposed to work with swfdec, so I presume they have worked at some point and have been broken recently.
Just to test that this isn't just a anti-rick-roll security feature, I also tested some other videos, but let's face it - we do need Rick for the "Full Internet Experience".
Additional info:
This is "high" priority because the wife will kill me if she doesn't have her videos. And the adobe player won't install on current rawhide due to some library issues.
Yeah, no Elite. But I should thank you for making me look for trading games Warp Gate looks pretty cool. If you're into old games the iPad is actually a pretty cool device since it has a 1024x768 display and accellarated OpenGL support.
Could someone with mad hacker skills and way too much time on their hands please post some figures comparing the computing power of an Amiga to an iPad?
I'm just nostalgic as anyone else who started messing with computers in the 70s and I remember the first machines I used and owned with great fondness. But you have to recognize that your "hobby time" spent with antique hardware and software is of very little benefit to the world.
As someone who uses XP, Vista, Win 7, Linux and OSX on a daily basis I'd say that only the congenitally insane would not want to move to Win 7 from XP.
It's really not about the individual features, it's the overall experience. It's more like going from a 1970s trans am to a brand new Porsche, everything is just bettter. (Cos every good post needs a bad car analogy)
Hm, looking at the worldwide map, much of the US doesn't have electricity (much less healthcare?) either...
Note that Baffin Island which is mostly north of the arctic circle and is mostly composed of barren (but rather beautiful) rock and tundra with a wopping population of 11,000 people (giving it a population density of 0.02/km2 )has more bright points than North Korea which has over 24 million people and a population density of 198.3/km2.
I'll leave interpretation of the actual meaning of these facts as an exercise for the student.

/facepalm
Now all you need to do to pull all the trolls into the conversation is post an article about Apple. Positive, negative, true, false, rumor or fact...
iTouchii?
Because FreeBSD 10.4 (or whatever they're calling their fork)
I think you misspelled NeXTSTEP (... or NextStep, or NEXTSTEP, or OPENSTEP.)
And given that Darwin is actually Mach I think you should just give up your geek card and get back under your bridge.
Sure like I'm gonna believe some monkey
What do you mean? Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey
Please, can't we just get beyond Thunderdome?
Agreed, we don't need another hero.
That's Eric Clapton's DNA...
... played forwards.

Should've chosen Keith Richards. Man's practically indestructible. If we could reverse engineer him, we'd have a genetically perfect superarmy.
An army that's only useful for an attack on the playboy mansion or a large alcohol factory.
You make that sound like a bad thing.
consider that in order to write for an Apple mobile device, you also have to have an Apple computer
Downside: you have to buy a Mac
Upside: you get to have a Mac
Dislaimer: I just bought a Mac for exactly this reason. NextStep is pretty cool even if it is 20 years old now.
Driving late at night I find myself dividing my attention between my dragons reigns and the mini map as I search for minerals on a war-torn glacier...
...beluga caviar with dodo eggs spread on the backs of beautiful hookers by chimp butlers...
I think you're doing it wrong.
Damned tourists!
I'll be the first one in line to dance on their grave.
I think Linus already shotgunned the grave dancing back when he was struggling with youtube on his wife's Fedora install.

Which is why it's called a hobby.
If you're referring to this Goldeneye, it's clearly a case of a game based on the movie and not the reverse.
I think you need to have your sarcasm detector checked.
How do you do Hobbits?
How do you solve a problem like Moria?

Two questions:
On their specification Page.
