this graphic card has MORE RAM than my entire computer, and faster too, and a faster processor, and probably a bigger heat sink.
Is it just me or are graphic cards getting ridiculously insane? I know I don't need this thing cus the last game I bought for my comp is 2002 Star Wars: GB. Maybe I'm just a lamer and and l00ser...
No matter how well-run the Indian call center may be, they can't give good customer service if the customer in U.S. can't understand what the rep is saying due to his accent.
Last week I called 1and1 internet tech support on a simple request (import a MySQL dump into a database). Now I have no idea if 1and1 outsources to India - maybe she was just chewing tobacco while talking or something - but I couldn't understand what the fuck she was saying more than half the time. It took 30 minutes just to convince her to let me talk to Tier 2 tech support. After which my request was fulfilled swiftly.
Here's a tip: if you can't understand what your Indian tech support person is saying, just ask for Tier 2. More likely than not, tier 2 will be an American.
I would trade all the mod points I will ever have in the future to be able to mod parent up to +5 right now.
"I would like to see 'Optimizing your site for Google' to become obsolete."
As an owner of a PHP-based informative, content-rich website that Google lists on page 5, while watching ad-ridden spam 1-page sites get displayed on page 1, all I can say is "Amen brother, amen"
Right on. I wish I had mod points right now so I can mod parent up.
Google has been extremely frustrating to me, becaused I built a good website with tons of relevant info and high-quality content. It's been around for a quite a while now, 1 1/2 years, so my whining is not because the site is new. I did everything a good webmaster could be expected to do (including pay for my domain for 5 years), yet my site is still around #40 on Google for the particular keyword.
# 15 through 40 for that keyword are full of COMPLETE SPAM SITES. Not only that, these are 1-page spam sites. My site has dozens of pages carefully crafted pages that took hundreds of hours of work.
I'm sorry, but Google pagerank is complete crap. In my humble opinion.
I'm a healthy young guy, and let's say I need money badly so I decide to sell one of my kidneys to the highest bidder. I can still live perfectly healthy with one kidney left.
I would be arrested because this is illegal! Why? Because Big Brother decided it was unethical to sell organs? Because fundamentalist Christians would be offended? Or Greenpeace and ACLU thought sanctity of human life should not be for sale? What exactly is the deal here?
The kind of sleazy dealings mentioned in TFA come about precisely because organ selling is a black market. So what exactly is the almighty government protecting us from?
You dumbass, the point was not that Google is a monopoly. It was that just because one has the option of not using Google, doesn't mean evil things Google does is excusable.
By the same logic, there's nothing compelling you to buy Microsoft Windows, or Standard Oil kerosene in 1900. If you don't want your money going to Bill Gates or Rockefeller, simply don't buy from them -- stop whining about how evil their practices are.
You just made a comparison, saying that Hindus or Jews would not be reacting violently in a similar situation.
But then you seem to restrain yourself from saying outright, that Muslims are freaking savages. Even though you did mention that "war seems to be what they want". I guess you were about to say what was on your mind, but political correctness and liberal virtues so cherished on Slashdot made you refrain.
Well, I'll say it for you. Too many Muslims are freaking savages. Yeah I'm sure there are peaceful and civilized ones out there, but if you look at the ratio of peaceful citizens to raving nuts and compare it to that of Christian nations or Buddhist nations or Shinto nations or whatever, you can't help but come to the conclusion that Muslim, as it exists in the real world today (and not in theory), is a barbaric, violent, repressive religion.
Apparently this guy really believed that what he was claiming was possible. He probably thought that since there are hundreds of labs around the world doing the same thing, surely one of them will get the desired result soon, and he will get credit as the 1st one to do it.

SUSE is a better choice than Novell.
When you hear the word Novell, the image that pops up in your mind is "Old and Busted"
SUSE on the other hand, sounds vaguely of "New Sweetness"
it probably couldn't carry enough payload for shuttle-style missions.
Amazing...... I didn't even know there was a Japanese Slashdot.

I'd have modded you up if you just said "Fucking bloggers"
"effing" is such a gay word......
Apparently you are not aware that XP already has 6 versions.
XP Professional
XP Home
XP Media Center Edition
XP Tablet PC
XP Starter 3rd World edition
XP Athlon 64 bit edition
There are 6 versions of Windows XP already dude.

Let's get HP involved.... then it will become the SITH powers (Sony, IBM, Toshiba, Hewlett-packard)

Click on BBS, which will connect you to an old skool BBS.
There, you can play a bunch of doors including TW
"On top of that how do they PUSH new IMs to you in a web-based client?"
Same way Java IRC chat applets started doing 5 years ago?
There is no "Mother Earth", you idiot. Earth is a rocky planet and is not sentient.
No one is disputing that there is global warming. The dispute is whether it's man-made or natural.
There's been global warming since the end of the last Ice Age 12,000 years ago.
lollllllllllllllllllllll
damn that was funny
I knew Discovery Channel went to the dogs when they dropped excellent shows like Discovery Wings and started showing crap like American Chopper.
LOL... I haven't seen that term *Plonked* in a loong time.
along with ROT13
My only choice for mail is Ultrafunk Popcorn...
