You know, the soundtrack to "A Goofy Movie" is available on iTunes. What's interesting about it is, there are only two songs on this soundtrack with popular appeal. Those were the song for the opening and closing of the movie, and the only songs made by an artist who was actually popular (at the time). And maybe the only good songs there. Anyway, so those were the two songs everybody wanted. But they made it so you could only get those two songs if you buy the whole album. Every other song could be purchased individually. So they're forcing people to buy all these songs they don't want, just to get the two they do want. In other words, they're taking away the main advantage of iTunes and turning it into the same old thing, only over the internet.
I think it is worth noting, BET used to have a few high-quality shows when it was actually Black-owned, such as their nightly news program and the Tavis Smiley show. They got rid of all that when they sold out to Viacom. At that point, the only things Black about them were their name and some of the faces they hire to spew their image of Black people. Since a lot of the posts here are being used to imply that Black people are monkeys, I think it's important to note that BET's current state shouldn't be blamed on us, as none of us really have any control over that channel. So you'll have to settle for the rest of the racist lies that are harder to disprove. And just in case you get to see this before Slashdot mods me down, fuck you.
The only part I disagree with for sure is the claim that software installation is easier on Linux, especially since you mentioned OpenOffice specifically. I had to extract compressed files and place them in a specific directory. Then it wouldn't run, claiming I needed to extract the files that those files depend on. Then it wouldn't run, claiming I had to extract the files those files required. Finally, I just extracted everything and it worked. It's much better to be able to click next and uncheck boxes of components I don't like.
I remember seeing some special on television about weapons, in which a military guy said, for every million-dollar weapon, there's a ten-dollar way around it.
My first impression, after reading the summary, was that the guy just wished he could download all the pictures instead of having some of the profiles private.
I vaguely remember somebody saying the whole point of RSS is that you never get content you don't want because you have to subscribe to it in the first place. What's stopping us from unsubscribing instead of filtering?
Since most still cameras can't do the frame rate and resolution specified for 30 minutes (if at all), I think their rule will only affect still cameras which could actually qualify as decent true video camera. So the law doesn't seem intended to raise the cost of still cameras in general, and the Slashdot summary seems misleading.
I don't see how Clippy counts as artificial intelligence. It wasn't learning anything. It was just responding to things. If it could learn and adapt, it probably would have been good.
I personally think their attempts to make it cross-platform are what killed their efficiency. That made them unable to take advantage of things specific to each platform. They had to use the lowest common denominators of all of the systems. Then they required Cygwin to be a part of it in order to facilitate their attempt to use the same code on multiple platforms. This is not to say Cygwin is bad, or that it would be easy to maintain a version for each platform without it, but dropping the "cross-platform" code would have solved one of the biggest complaints about the browser in the long run. Then they'd just have to deal with people complaining about how long it took to get done, but they had that problem anyway.
Africa is living proof that imposition of a foreign structure and hierarchy followed by throwing fists-full of aid money is not enough to improve the lives of a people.
That's about what messed it up in the first place, except the money was thrown a different direction.
Maybe we can come up with the One Penis Per Slashdotter program to fix that problem. Maybe it will run Linux. Maybe these things will end up as our new overlords. Maybe they'll get shut down after people realize they're being used for porn. I can't go on.
So if you get hired at a new company and a bunch of stuff gets broken or stolen, it's okay to blame it all on you and then figure out what happened, right?

When I installed it, it installed the tray icon/preloader without me explicitly selecting that.
Somewhere, a Linux user is reading that and throwing up.

I think it was Suse, and it was because the version that came with it was older than the latest "stable" release.

That may be true, but it doesn't mean Windows is worse than anything else. It just means Windows is the biggest target.

I personally think placing the sponsored links above the most relevant links is just as bad, if not worse.
My guess is a Windows Update or whatever the Mac and Linux versions are. So everybody's probably already got it, waiting to be activated.
An iPhone will work, but really it could be any item that indicates to the woman that you're willing to spend hundreds of dollars on something pretty.
I'm incredibly surprised there were no replies to that comment, concerning one entity that supports both formats.
That's only in the version for people with no insurance. The paid version has no advertisements.
No, we're using desktops for that now.

Add chocolate flavor and fragrance.

I got together with some of my friends and our own research determined that the hands belong to somebody by the name of "Neal, Cowboy".
They could just get a job in the police department.
