As for forums, welcome to the Internet; go check some MS or Mac forums, you'll find assholes there, too. Those're the breaks. We don't need to check those forums - we have our own crop right here, don't we AC?
Did I miss something? Is it "Asshat Monday" and I didn't mark it on my calendar?
You will never, ever, become successful on the desktop until idiocy like this is exorcised from the OS. ... or the pool of computer users who label themselves advanced just because they can do things that are "comparatively simple in Mac or Windows". If a command line isn't for you, that's fine. Be sure to stay away from 'Terminal' on the Mac and the 'cmd.exe' on Windows.
I use self deprecating humor to call myself someone "who isn't actually intelligent" and some chuckle-head with mod points thinks I'm flaming myself? Maybe I should tag myself as a Foe. That would teach me. Oy... someone cash in your mod points and buy a fukcing sense of humor.
If you can be mislead by a bungling fool like George Bush, how can we trust you as President to deal with world leaders who are actually intelligent? That's easy... just get me elected as the leader of some other country and they can deal with a leader who isn't actually intelligent.;-)
... edit the video so it has one of those cats that falls off the TV or a jackass doing a Jackass stunt or a fake video blogger faking their video blog or something. I mean please, they have to do something to make it interesting. If they don't it'll just seem like the same answers & message over and over and over... kind of like watching the Weather Channel on TiVo or listening to your wife remind you what a schmuck you are.
Is there a difference between the toothy and baleen varieties? The only real difference is that the toothy variety just needs a little salt whereas the baleen variety really needs cocktail sauce (though you can use catsup & tartar sauce in a pinch).
Who's going to need 80 Cores? *ducks* Any one wanting to run Areo on Vista Ultra Optimum Utmost Paramount Ultimate Quintessential Home Edition?
I, for one, am betting Intel loses its shirt on this 80 Core hodgepodge. That's why I'm investing my entire retirement saving in Transmeta's Crusoe line.
... if I worked on the 'Vista' team I sure wouldn't want my picture printed on the DVD. What if someone recognized me on the street? Or in prison?? Or on/.???
That is one large group of browsers, as 192.03% of anything is pretty big. Well, we are talking about Web 2.0 (which should equal 200% IIRC). I guess I forgot * 7.97% - Other
Anyone have a download link to the latest version of Cowboy Neal? I'd post it again, but I don't want to receive another DMCA takedown notice.
I think the reason's pretty simple: companies like Google have been abusing the "beta" moniker lately. I, for one, appreciate what Google's done for the definition of Beta. These days all my opinions and comments are beta. When (or if) I get them right I'll re-release them quietly.
Yep, sounds like the choice of browser will be obivious. Slashdot should publish statistics of which browsers are used by Slashdotters to view Slashdot. Here you go:
*.01% - Safari (Windows)
*.02% - Opera (All)
* 03% - Cowboy Neal (Windows)
* 14% - Internet Explorer
* 19% - Cowbow Neal (Linux)
* 22% - Safari (Macintosh)
* 35% - FireFox (Windows)
* 99% - FireFox (Linux)
* Profit!
As someone mentioned a couple of days ago when Win Safari was first released, they're also going to have to work really hard for this software to compete with other browsers (which many think it can't). I may be wearing my ass as a hat, but I honestly don't see Apple expecting Safari to compete in the Windows browser market. It is my (potentially asshattian) opinion that Safari is available on Windows solely for the purpose of providing a testing environment for iPhone development for Windows developers. It's never going to take over the Windows browser market (or even made a serious dent).
Having Safari available on Windows removes the 'Apple Only' hardware requirement for any company who wants to develop Web 2.0/AJAX applications that run on the iPhone which opens Safari development to a much much larger pool of developers.
It's good to see ...

he cut out fifteen minutes of him jumping up and down swearing at the top of his lungs, and flinging shit all over the place. Do you have a link for that video on YouTube? That sounds a lot more entertaining.
What's wrong with filming the cops? I think either FOX owns the patent on videotaping the police or the RIAA owns a copyright on videos of 'the Police'.
Though I like the Sopranos, I prefer the 'Three Tenors'.;-)
It climaxed in the penultimate episode of the season just like every other season has. Did you really expect Tony to die? There's no movies/specials/mini-series in the future if Tony dies.
Um... don't forget... this is/., where most posters don't even read the summary let alone the article. I'm sure his ad revenue on a Sunday morning will be enough for him to buy an album on iTunes.;-)
... if John Henry Browne does sue Avvo's computer ranking program it will make him a bad lawyer and thus the ranking will have been a self fulfilling prophecy.

Yes, yes, it's a valid word, but does it really work in the context in which it was used? I say provably not.
... my whales under 50 and without their own hardware, thank you very much.
"LBMS - Provably the Best CASE in the World"?? Oy carumba ... not that anyone would have taken their eyes off Elvira to read that part.
