Does this Bill mean the rest of us can't? Says the oral sex nazi: "No more oral sex FOR YOU!!" Oral sex can't propagate the species, thus clearly contradicts evolution.
its this kind of obvious rationale that makes me wonder how Microsoft engineers can act so smooth and arrogant. Sure, UNIX systems will need patches, too, but the sheer number of updates, reboots, etc. (for DST or otherwise) involved in keeping a Windows desktop or server up to date, multiplied by the masses of installations out there, must add up to a rather large fortune... likely rivaling the GNP of a small country.
PayPal & eBay, with a one-two punch, get you coming and going. With all their delicious revenue, the best they can do to proect their users is to attempt to shuck the blame on the little guy. That is information technology genius. Forget spending thousands on security analysis... they keep your private info safe with a single finger.
I was attemlting the same thing with an old Yahoo mail account, but it backfired on me when I tried to switch a listserv I wanted to keep to another account:
Posters here never cease to amaze me. When I read the summary I was preparing for the worst, "scientological" comments from ignorant children for some reason (sorry I doubted). I made a choice to do without years ago and struggled to realize depression was reality, a storm with a beginning, middle and end, a shallow or deep river to be crossed. Newton's 2nd Law of Motion (for the depression, what goes down must come up), and the movie A Beautiful Mind (for the mania, to recognize the irrational and ignore it), did more for me than reuptake inhibitors, but I never questioned their necessity for those who have trouble seeing brain states for what they are, who it may not occur to to try and step out of themselves to see themselves from above, and adjust behavior accordingly (because, even if we must take responsibility for how we feel, whether caused by external or internal conditions, that's all we can control, what we do and say). Its said 'misery loves company,' and I have to slightly shamefully admit I am happier to realize I am not alone. Thank you slashdot posters for being empathic, contemplative and intelligent, but most of all for not being like posters at Digg (re: TOS: And the Children Shall Lead).
Well played, Sir! My statement of the obvious ("I'm way way way offtopic") didn't fool your eagle eyes! You are indeed a bigger Middle-Earth nerd than I. However, check your sources... though Tolkien appreciated the tibre of Italian, it was Finnish that he believed most beautiful, not just for its aural superiority to most other languages, but because in Finnish, the words that descrbe beautiful things themselves were beautiful sounding, unlike, say, English, where beautiful sounding words, like "cellar," descibe not so beautiful concepts (a basement is hardly a beautiful concept). Italian can't touch that.
I'm way way way off topic here, but all I know about the Finns is that their language is beautiful. I do not know this from personal experience but from a biography I read about my favorite author as a child. J.R.R. Tolkien was a philologist and studied many languages, and claimed that, by far, the Finnish language (is it called Finnish?) was the most beautiful human language there was (what about French you ask? Tolkien hated French, called it barbaric). Also, again off topic (but getting closer) its been theorized that he stole ancient Finnish mythology and redressed it as The Lord of the Rings (Gandalf is a Merlin-type wizardish archetype from this mythology??). Apparently, we would all be aware of and well versed in this ancient Finnish mythology, but, presumably, its all been censored (and were back on topic).
well, actually, no, and yeah, sort of... You see, I hold the copyright for the Universe. Anything you see (with or without my expressed permission) is, of course, duplicated upside-down on the back of your eye. Upside-down or not, you owe me a lot of money for infringing on my copyright. See you in court, pirate.
Actually, it probably is tragedy, not in the sense that it is a terrible misfortune, which technically isn't tragic at all, but in the sense that its ironic that he (very likely) caused his own demise by the way he lived his life.
done wonders in the not debasing, not objectifying women spaces, and has clearly not increased the population of mysogynists. Vivid, however, has really gone gangbusters in this area in the opposite direction.
I didn't intend to imply that marketing doesn't work. Nuclear bombs work like gangbusters too, great for those tough incineration jobs, but that doesn't make them a good thing. Poking an infant in the face works great at getting them to turn their heads... again, not necessarily a good thing.
Relative to what? Geological time? no, it is not even remotely quick! even w/o patching XP takes a good 2 hours to install, unless its the "stripped to the bone" edition, which is pretty fast, ~30 minutes, pre-patching. Patches add another 4 hours of downloading/rebooting... having the patches offline will save maybe 2 hours...
Not a terrible idea... but to make sure we get it right, we should start with Mexico, work out the remainder of the bugs on Canada, and then steamroller ourselves right into their hearts.
I've never seen a BluRay title... but I imagine the menuing system is like DVDs' on crack. When I put a movie in my player, I want to watch a movie, not wait 2 minutes through menu animation and 8 min through previews... I'd pay more for no-nonsense "movie-only" titles. You know how when you go to get milk at the supermarket you have to walk past miles of stuff you don't want? Marketing is a profound waste of the consumer's time, and all that extra stuff on movie discs is just like the maze at your local grocery. You fools! You are letting them charge us for showing us stuff they want us to buy.
Eventually, we'll be needing more land, resources, whatever. Sooner or later, we'll be annexing China, that li'l gem of the Orient. I say, let them have what ever tech they want, so that by the time we get around to moving them all out of their homes and pushing them all westward, we won't have to deal with some crazy learning curve.... Those damn Chinese are all so smart, or at least absurdly ambitious... can you imagine how screwed we'd be if they actually developed their own technology?
is that there is real crime. A simple assault is immeasurably more grievous than the worst of copyright infringment, but would-be assaulters don't fear insane fines for slapping someone. Maybe lawmakers need to be slapped to realize that real crime exists and physical and violent crime should be eliminated before coming to the aid of entertainment revenue megafactories, who can't even credibly show damages yet are rich enough to buy the government!

Dude, respectfully, QUIT HACKING MY BRAIN!!!!
Obviously, the solution here is to draft Microsoft into the Military, and send Windows to invade China.

about DST, but he "nailed" it when he said to put a basket over her head.

yes. absolutely right.

first post?
reminds me of Carl Sagan's fantasies about creatures on Jupiter... perhaps that inspired its conception
"relatively quick"

Am I the only one that thought T-Mobile's wifi was a pain in the wallet? They were trying to do with wifi what all cell co.s did for SMS.
