What I want to see is the goddamn Unix nerds getting the hell out of the eighties and realizing that HCI for text editors has made a whole lot of progress in the last two and a half decades.
i dont think so. Thats what we have now in most places.
Thank you, Captain Obvious. In fine form tonight, I see.
Now tell me, how does your system deal with large corporations that can just move around operations as it pleases them, and wield far more power than any single decentralized community?
So how do we enforce these things without becoming a ruler?
How about some kind of representative system where the people are polled about who they would like to be represented by? And some sort of "separation of powers" to make sure no sub-group of said system gains control over the others?

...Opera? Did you just complain about Firefox not looking like an OS X app, and then recommending Opera?
Comparing fresh Linux and XP and OS X installs, Linux is by far the slowest to boot. If your school's XP installs boot slowly, they are probably doing a lot of work like transferring lots of data over a slow network connection.
Oh god, hopeless nerds and their shibboleths. This kind of utter idiocy and pointless elitism is why I avoid any kind of genre fandom even though I love reading science fiction.
And I don't give a flying fuck how anybody abbreviates it.
Because MS Office isn't sexy enough. The whol MoAB debable was nothing but childish begging for attention, so something as dull as MS Office would never cut it.
I'm a Mac user and programmer, and I must say, there is something to the argument that the market is too small. Any spyware infection will only touch a small fraction of machines, and even with millions of machines, that doesn't add up to much, compared to the Windows market. The half of it is that the pool of talent is similarly smaller for OS X than for Windows, especially when Macs are expensive - it's hard to find a greedy hacker who actually has the skills and willingness to write spyware for OS X from scratch.
But as it stands, OS X is wide open to the traditional spyware and trojan vectors: Mass-mailed infectors disguised as harmless files, and infected apps spread on newsgroups and dubious websites. Far more open than Windows, even, due to certain OS X features (such as Input Managers) and the lack of secuirty software on the installed machines (such as application firewalls and anti-virus software).
A lot of people say stuff. You can't pay attention to them all. You need some way to filter things, and ignoring statements from think tanks of any kind are a good first measure, especially when they have been shown to lie again and again.
If the attackers have physical access to the machine, they can smash it with a hammer. This is why I specified that I was talking specifically about attackers who are after your data.
There are only "sides" in the media circus and among non-scientists. The scientists are pretty much unanimous about basic facts, and only really disagree on the details.
If I'm telling people to ignore the nonsense being blasted on all sides in the media, I am brainwashed. If I tell people to listen to scientists instead of journalists, I am brainwashed.
If you aren't equally as educated as the scientists in the scientific method, and in fact if you're not part of their peer group, yes, you can only be brainwashed by the evidence they come up with.
Oh, right, yes, brainwashed. Yes. Obviously. If I'm telling people to ignore the nonsense being blasted on all sides in the media, I am brainwashed. If I tell people to listen to scientists instead of journalists, I am brainwashed.

Well, yeah, it's easy to make code from an inferior system portable to a superior one, but not so easy the other way, huh?

You will notice, upon re-reading it, that the original claim was for freshly installed systems.
Comparing fresh Linux and XP and OS X installs, Linux is by far the slowest to boot. If your school's XP installs boot slowly, they are probably doing a lot of work like transferring lots of data over a slow network connection.
It has much to say on the human condition
What, exactly? That you are specially gifted, and better than anyone else. Your mistreatment is the evidence of your gifts. You are morally superior. Your turn will come, and then you may severely punish others, yet remain blameless. You are the hero?
Oh god, hopeless nerds and their shibboleths. This kind of utter idiocy and pointless elitism is why I avoid any kind of genre fandom even though I love reading science fiction.

Modded "Funny"? I guess it is funny, like laughing at the village idiot, but I wasn't making a joke, I was just repeating Taco's message here:o ld=0&commentsort=0&mode=thread&pid=14502339#145024 84

Slashdot "editors" do not "edit" posts. This makes Slashdot "more real" according to CmdrTaco.
Because MS Office is used by people in CUBICLES, while alternate browsers and media players are used by HIPSTERS.
You know where it will land at that point.

Yes, they do.

It's because he's a paid shill.
Seriously, how many brilliant inventions have we heard of lately, and how many of those vanish just days after being announced?
As for the second question, zero. I can't even begin to imagine where you got that idea.

Wow, a conserative think tank. What an unbiased source of scientific insight!
Ok, here is what I said:
There are only "sides" in the media circus and among non-scientists. The scientists are pretty much unanimous about basic facts, and only really disagree on the details.
If I'm telling people to ignore the nonsense being blasted on all sides in the media, I am brainwashed. If I tell people to listen to scientists instead of journalists, I am brainwashed.
What exactly are you disagreeing with here?
If you aren't equally as educated as the scientists in the scientific method, and in fact if you're not part of their peer group, yes, you can only be brainwashed by the evidence they come up with.
This statement makes no sense whatsoever.
I don't see where an encrypted file system would help unless the key is required to be typed in each time a server is raised above run level 1.
Well, yes, that would kind of be the point, wouldn't it?
Oh, right, yes, brainwashed. Yes. Obviously. If I'm telling people to ignore the nonsense being blasted on all sides in the media, I am brainwashed. If I tell people to listen to scientists instead of journalists, I am brainwashed.
You are making a whole lot of sense there.
