Django's templating engine is a bit too baroque for me, though. Of course, I don't like anyone else's templating engine either, so the fact that Django works with other templating engines really doesn't help me much.
We may be run by a bunch of retards and jackasses, but no matter how bad we have it, we still have it a lot better than the majority of people in the world.
Retards and jackasses huh? We'll see just who's a retard and a jackass after you spend some time in Gitmo!
1) Google isn't a private company. It's a private-sector company, but it's a publicly-owned company, i.e., anyone with enough cash can own a piece of Google.
2) In some areas, having bad credit will prevent you from getting a job. What's the difference?
I think for myself. Possibly the NSA or the CIA or somebody like that might classify that as 'terrorism'. Given a number of other clearly-not-terrorism-crimes that have been classified as 'terrorism', I wouldn't be surprised.
I mean, not that its great, but doesn't that mean that the developers will stop supporting the PPC platform with their software and more and more people would have to switch to x86 in the nearest future? Thus meaning that they would have to buy a really new computer to get all the latest software available for the Mac and I think that this would be a big issue for the guys with older macs.
If people buy more new Macs, who gets all the money?
On a side note, I have personally found it very interesting to watch the way people on Mac forums approach problems versus Windows or Linux users. Often there is an implicit assumption that any problem encountered is an OS bug (sometimes even if nobody else can be found who is experiencing the same problem) and you see demands that it be fixed in the next release. Possibly this is because a high proportion of the problems experienced by Mac users are indeed OS bugs.
That's not a problem specific to Mac users. My stepson was using some *nix application to re-encode (DRM free) WMA to MP3 the other day.
When it crashed he proclaimed "Linux sucks! It won't convert WMA files to MP3!"
To which I replied "No, it won't. Linux is an OS kernel. It doesn't convert audio files. You must mean the application you were using to re-encode the files sucks. The nice thing about Ubuntu is that if one application or method doesn't work, there's probably a hundred other ways you could accomplish the same thing with some other tools or combination of tools. Try lame."
As long as no children are hurt in the production of these images, why does it matter how real they look?
Because put a virtual image that looks real in front of a jury, and if they can't tell the difference, they may put an innocent person in prison. Imagine if the virtual child-pr0n showed a guy that had nothing to do with it's creation molesting a child? Talk about your witch hunts!
Also, think about this. If you look at pr0n, doesn't it make you horny?
Now, let's talk about child pr0n. Doesn't matter whether it's virtual or not -- if you're a pedophile, it will still make you want to go out and act on that, just as 'normal' pr0n does for the non-sexual-deviant.
Do you really think that stimulating child predators with pr0n -- even virtual pr0n -- is a good idea?
There is an X/MPlayer video driver [linux.yes.nu] that plays 1080p HD video on the Cell's SPUs quite nicely,
So long as by 'quite nicely' you mean 'video encoded in something other than H.264'. From your link:
H.264 / MKV does not work.
Additionally, this is just for MPlayer on the framebuffer right now. The author of the driver, Unsolo, is working on an Xv driver, but it's still in development.
"I know how to get by on Windows out of sheer necessity."
And one of the solutions is: go buy the next version of w2k server? Well, I said I didn't like Windows, now didn't I? Now you know one of the reasons why.:)
Weve had this console thingie for a while in Linux. Why did windows wait until now? Since day 1, yep.
These problems go to Windows to its core. How do we change the Registry in text format so that we can guarantee that we do not corrupt it? I'm sure there's a commandline regedit somewhere, but I'd like to edit it as flat files ala/etc.
I'd like to use a Microsoft system that does not require graphical support. Where's a rich commandline for those that need no graphics (samba server, calendar/mail server..)?
Windows 2008 Server has this, I believe.
I'd like a full update of nearly every program at once.
Um, that's just plain wrong. You're obviously not a programmer or a sysadmin.
I can save a MP3 in linux and play it at the same time. I can also delete it WHILE playing and nothing bad happens (until I hit the beginning again).
That's a function of how the applications are written and has nothing to do with the OS whatsoever.
There's tons of things here and there that will lessen the usability of ported BASH and python on Windows.
I won't disagree about bash, 'cause you're right, but Python works pretty well on Windows. Gotta give kudos to PSF on that one.
Don't get me wrong. I run Ubuntu almost execlusively at home. But my knowledge of Windows is pretty deep as well, and while I don't like Windows, I know how to get by on Windows out of sheer necessity.
I gave both Photoshop 6 running very stable under Wine and The GIMP (sans Gimpshop) to my wife, who is a semi-professional photographer but has never used any photo editing applications and is a complete computer n00b.
I said pick the one that looks the easiest to you.
She picked The GIMP.
She's still had some learning curve, but she's also tried learning Photoshop, and that one seems just as hard to her.
Photoshop only seems easier to use because you've used it for a long time. Photoshop is difficult to work with, especially for a n00b.

Maybe I should just write my own.

Why do you hate children so much? Are you some kind of cold, heartless terrorist?
1) Google isn't a private company. It's a private-sector company, but it's a publicly-owned company, i.e., anyone with enough cash can own a piece of Google.

Right. But they're working on it.
Imagine "SIMULTANEOUS 4 DAY CREATION in 1 Earth rotation!" "NO GOD EQUATES" that!!!
I hear IBM is trying to eliminate all the ONEisms from the design.
(BTW-- does anyone know WTF this guy is saying?)
And the next release will be named "Black Panther", which will have a race condition bug.

a lot of pianos, even many old pianos, use plastic rather than ebony and ivory keys.
Even when ivory was legal everywhere to buy, it was very, very expensive; thus it wasn't used in many pianos once plastic keys were invented
Why? What's wrong with saying "pr0n"? Pr0n, pr0n, pr0n! See, the world didn't collapse, right?
That's why we have legislatures.
Read what I wrote. Then go back and RTFA.
Let's say I take a picture of you. Then, I work some magic on the picture and combine it with a naked child.
Then I use a trojan or other malware to put the photo on your laptop.
Then I suggest to the police that you may be carrying child pr0n on your laptop, that's why you fly to China every month.
At the airport, DHS searches your laptop and finds the picture.
That clear enough for you?

Sorry. The whole "that's not a problem anymore, n00b." thread a few days ago made me do it! :)

Not that I'm trying to argue for the Windows crowd, mind you, but you have two options:
Wow. SDO was on the ISG?
The way you paint that makes me want to put a tinfoil hat on -- NOW.
