No dissing here; I'll probably look it up when it's out on DVD. I was under the impression that the poster just wanted to hear the aforementioned phrase, as that's what all the hype has digressed to. Glad you liked the movie
Look for The Daily Show reruns. It was either last nights episode, or late last weeks, with a segment by Samantha Bee interviewing Samuel L., and he busted out that wonderful catchphrase multiple times. Then you don't have to sit through the hour and a half movie.
I'm kinda confused which side you're defending. Sounds like you agree that it's about the same, but then you finish that it has gone drastic changes.
Weapon tweaks, updated graphics, and new levels are not "drastic". They are "patches" and "updates". Just because I installed the latest expansion for Battlefield 2 doesn't mean EA made a completely different game. They added more content. Drastic changes would be completely different weapons, totally new maps, etc. It would be a total revamp in how the game operated. Drastic would be going from Super Mario Brothers to Mario 64.
When I went from 1.6 to Source all I really noticed were some tweaks in the levels (which there were less of in Source than 1.6, so a downgrade really), updated graphics, and none of my buy scripts working. Underneath it is still very much the same...terrorist plants bomb/kidnaps hostages/assassinates a dude, and the CTs try to defuse/rescue/escort their way to victory, using any number of real life, tactical weapons. I seem to remember it being that way 6 years ago in beta.
Wow, congrats on ripping apart someone for a few typos! God forbid someone makes a mistake on this forum! Good work! You even managed to get moderator support for your efforts!
Oh, by the way, "GPL'd" should be GPLed since you're referring to a past-tense verb. And couldn't've, well, isn't even a word.
Do I get +5 for pointing this out? Because that's all this asshat did. I understood what the GP meant perfectly well, as I'm sure everyone else with an IQ higher than 12 did too.
The article insinuates that regulators can stop him. I doubt that's true.
The regulators could stop him. But that's why Apple did the right thing and came forward about it, launched a third party investigation, and is trying to clear things up. The industry I work in sees something similar with export control violations. The governing agency is usually much lighter on penalties and such if you come forward about it. I imagine that the SEC operates in a similar manner. Getting audited and finding out Apple knew about it all along, but didn't do anything about it, would be far, far worse.
You're right on the subject line...but it's more of a concern with how easily it can be hacked. Someone could just plug in an external flash to the device, and boot off that. If they're going to ship these things with supposedly tested and verified software, they need to make sure their software is the only software that can be run. It's like Sony rushing to patch the PSP firmware every time someone finds a new hack to run homebrew. They need to clamp down on the ability to modify the software/hardware of their machines.
The linux commands you're calling out aren't intuitive at all. You're just saying linux is faster to type in. ifup, ifdown? does that mean if = down, then eth1? Linux CLI is notorious for being confusing and unintuitive. Cisco IOS: configure terminal. interface fastethernet0/0. shutdown. it specifically states what you want to do, what interface, and what you want that interface to do. How is ifup eth1 more intuitive than that? All the commands are neatly tucked away where they should be. If it doesn't affect the system in a global manner, it's under the section that it does affect.
Oh yeah, what do you have to do to check the configuration of your ethernet card in linux? more/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 More, an extremely obvious command to show something, and of course the config file is in the first place/I'd/ look.
Too bad Cisco made it all tough with show running-configuration interface fastethernet0/0 (or if you're concerned about WPM performance, show run int fa0/0).
Cisco IOS may not be extremely fast to type things out in like Linux. But it is very intuitive. They want to make sure you know exactly where you're working, and what you're doing. I'm not doing networking on my Pentium Pro box in my mom's basement like you are. If I'm running the risk of taking down a corporate network, I need to know that what I'm doing shouldn't affect everything else on the box. Keep access limited to whatever you need. The Cisco CLI makes perfect sense for that purpose.
Let's not confuse arrogance with being a dick. All I'm doing is pointing out a flaw in someone's logic, with factual evidence included. They're the one that insisted they were right, in a dickish manner. So good call on pointing that out for me...not only are they being arrogant, but they're being a dick about it. But my insistence that they're wrong is well founded. I just chose to point it out in a cockish manner.
That's ok, I have no interest in having an argument with someone who cannot check their facts, even when I made it obvious the other's made a mistake. Arrogant much?
You've listed one valid example. Care to list all these other examples, preferably examples pertaining to an OS that was released less than 14 years ago?
It's not likely they'd do that thorough of an investigation, unless the job required Top Secret (unlikely for an internship). Something tells me a bored manager was going through google (or some other web crawlers) caches of facebook profiles, since the article stated he had only very recently put a block on his site. There was likely a cache somewhere on the web. Also, it stated he knew someone in the office. Could have been possible that the boss required he (or the friend willingly did so) show him his facebook./shrugs
Perhaps I'm not interpreting what you're stating correctly, but tfa does have it correct. The only place you can put a file with a 255 character filename is at the root of the drive. Trying to put that file in a folder results in a "filename is invalid or is too long" error.
No bullshit on this one: Our CIO was helping someone set up their brand new printer. After about half an hour of fiddling with it, he called us (campus tech support) up, asking for some help. When we got there, we flipped on the power switch, and all was well. He has thankfully retired since!
the laws are becoming more and more rigid (mandatory life sentences, etc).
You're blaming the freakin' meter maid for mandatory life sentences?! While I agree that the police might be given more rights than they should, you're talking about the person that's hired to make sure your dumbass is fairly paying for general road repairs! What, do you blame the janitor for having to wash your hands after taking a crap at work?
I've got the same router, with a 6Mb/512kb link, and I get the same problems as the other response you've gotten. I'm using the stock firmware, but when I'm heavily seeding I have to power cycle it every other day or so. I've gotten the same results with a few different versions of firmware. The thing is a complete PITA because it cuts off all other traffic but torrent traffic, even with the download/upload greatly reduced on the torrent client.
That said, I rather like my WRT54G, but a $400 router, it most certainly ain't. I don't call my modded xbox a $2000 server just because I managed to get linux running on it.
I doubt optical storage will die out that soon. It's not about storage capacity and size, it's about cost. I doubt software companies, movie studios, and record labels are going to start shipping their wares on CompactFlash anytime soon. I have absolutely no proof to back this up, but I would imagine that the data storage market isn't quite as large as the entertainment industry. We may get there some day, but that day is a loooonngggg way off.
OK Professor, listen up. My point was, just because you produce a product, doesn't mean your product works out the best in every situation. In my situation, I was hungry. After conducting my own requirements analysis, I decided a burger was not going to score very high on the list. Primarily because one of my requirements was "no Hardees food". During this analysis other factors came into play such as cost, ease of implementation (delivery method), and ability to satisfy my needs (hunger). Alas, pizza hut had a sale on pizzas, they delivered, and a large sausage pizza would definitely fill me and a coworker up. Other options may have included Jimmy Johns subs, chinese, etc.
I'm sure Microsoft looked at their options. They probably had one of those fancy deals called "Decision Support Software" which weighed all their options, and decided that in the end, linux/did/ work, even though they weren't using their own OS. Outsourcing the implementation probably saved 'em oodles of cash. Cost/Savings is one of those requirements that tends to hit the top of the list. Capeesh?
When I worked at a fast food joint, we still had pizza/subs/etc ordered in. Just because you produce a certain product doesn't mean you'll never go to the competition.
Uhhh, yes? Posted to/. as an AC lately? Captchas ring a bell? Not to mention that they are the ones who organized this event, and as someone who has organized several events for professional groups in the past, it's nice to know who all participated.

That's no random search! Looks like he's looking at pictures related pictures so the shock of seeing the aftermath isn't as great.
And we all know what the last thing a person does before they die is...
