it doesn't make it less stupid, I think it's dumb to buy gold. But it's a lot dumber to watch NASCAR and a LOTTA people do that. I agree with you though, we should all go to Canada where things make sense and they have good donuts.
very simple concept. Yet everyone has such a problem with it. Just because you don't want to buy anchor shaped male dildo butt plugs or warcraft gold or country music cds it certainly doesn't mean people in general don't want them. There are certainly dumber things than buying gold in wow to impress some dude pretending to be an elf chick.
Why race against the rotary engine in the Daytona 24 or the Le Mans when you can just ban it?
Why compete fairly when you can just buy, imitate, embrace and extend ???
The point is, you can play the game and it's cheating if you break the rules, but cheating is also commonly referred to in today's world as "winning". If everyone had morals, the world would be ruled by immoral assholes.
I don't know if at best they'd be a lie. I download firefox onto every computer I use. Library, Internet Cafes, friends' computers, my toaster, Everywhere. I don't know, I think a valuable statistic here would be how many people use firefox from different aspects of life: developers, grandmas, taxi drivers, etc. Also, an interesting thing to ask people is why they don't use Opera. I'm a convert. I used to looove firefox, but it's just not as good as Opera.
I disagree. I love the summary and I would like to add:
If Microsoft wanted to, they could post THEIR number of downloads. Then it would be like those cartoons where the little rat shoots his little gun 30 times and then the big rat pulls out a gun 20 times the size of the little rat and turns him charcoal. I mean, what would Microsoft's number be, 30 billion?
whereas I respect your oppinion, I doubt that they are as sophisticated as you say. I mean, what if the authorities analyze the network traffic in and out of all ISPs? Controlling a massive DDoS attack has quite a different pattern than browsing for sports or news or downloading a movie.
3 months eh? Wait a few more months. Buy a few more iPods. You'll see their quality control is surprisingly bad. I've had two go bad on me and all five of my iPod owning friends have had their iPods crash, go dead or just plain act funny. It's not reliable hardware, just like every other hardware out there except of course for things like the IBM ThinkPad business series laptops. You're right though, great interface, and I agree, they're better than the rest.
my friend, sadly you do not understand the meaning of Microsoft Innovation. It's a wonderful process and has ABSOLUTELY no dependence on products that already exist : )
Here's my "consumer experience": I stopped listening to music. It's too much hassle. Between bullshit restrictions on what players I can buy to go with what music stores and what artists are on what website and who does what with their precioussss intellectual property, FUCK IT ALL.
Beethoven, perhaps the greatest musician of all time once said something along the lines of he dreams that there should be but one big warehouse where all the artists of the world can drag their art to and come away with what they needed.
That's called the internet people, his dream has come true but you so called "musicians" and "record labels" have botched it. I don't listen to new music anymore. It's too hard for me to get some tunes that are still true to the spirit of music and art. I have my small collection of rock and roll and jazz and classical and I do just fine popping it into the car once in a while.
So ROCK ON Yahoo! man, I hope they listen to you. (disclaimer: I hate Yahoo and worship Google)
I don't know about other people but if you hit me in the head with a large brick I'd hit you with a large SUV. And I don't know about you, but I'd rather be sued than killed.
here's the thing. This joke isn't funny unless it's true the other way. In this case... people don't exploit code... got it? It's really not that hard of a concept. Something like "In Soviet Russia, car drives you". That works. Or one I invented: "In Soviet Russia, Market sells YOU". Just so you know for the future, jokes have to make sense.
reminds me of a great arj barker joke (totally from memory):
Two guys talking at the beginning of the century, before we "knew" ciggarettes were bad for you - Hey Bill, how's it goin? - Not too good Joe, doctor says he's gotta take my lung out tomorro (puffs ciggarette) - NO!! What'sa matter Bill? - I don't know (puffs ciggarette and coughs), but my breath stinks like a horse's ass and my teeth are yellow. Doctor thinks I might be brushin my teeth too hard.
ok... so I've been thinking about this for about 5 years now... I am pretty intelligent and have quite a bit of information at my disposal. However, I'm unable to come up with these "intelligent arguments" that you mention. I don't think that Bush IS intelligent. As a matter of fact I think he is a blundering fool bent on simple tasks and religiously linked idealism. I believe that you should supply some of these "intelligent arguments" that Bush is... what? hiding behind the dumbed down version of the speech... where are these "intelligent arguments" why doesn't he MAKE THEM?
Achems Razor baby - because he doesn't HAVE THEM. There are no intelligent or even any arguments at all, just fluff and a shitty president. Face it, or prove me wrong.
oops... heh, my bad... quick tab is cool, foXpose has that too... yeah, hehe, wrong feature, i thought they were talking about that little new tab nub to the right of your rightmost tab.
this must be the millionth comment on this issue... so silly. I think that quick tab thing looks like an unmentionable appendage, hangin out of its enclosure. Totally ugly. Here's a little piece of information that all you foXpose people don't realize: Double click on the tab bar and you get a new tab. Woaaaa! And you don't even have to see the ugly appendage. I bet microsoft missed that when they were looking through firefox to grab features. Also, Why doesn't Ctrl+K get you to the google search box? Because Ctrl+E does. But as all linux firefox users know, Ctrl+K is what works in linux as well as windows firefox versions.

i agree with you, but at the same time i disagree. Strictness in grammar and spelling is a lot more important than people think. Without a strict powerful language, you have no defense against social and political illness. Look at history.
you're asuming that skype and VOIP will catch on. VOIP is still really bad, probably because phone companies kill VOIP traffic (i have no clue). This phone is not so hot as it seems. I mean, how do you connect to places like Starbucks hot spots? Or WPA routers? I mean, it says it uses WEP for security... that's just silly, WEP is so highly breakable. I don't know... you're underestimating the telecoms and overestimating VOIP.
hey... it's all fair man. Instead of calling him an asshole why don't you develop something to protect computers from his attack. Fire isn't an asshole just because it burns stuff. Water isn't an asshole for putting out fire. It's just the way things are. If he didn't do it, someone would. It's human nature.
So you say that your days are spent working and your weekends are needed to "Preserve your mental health" and "do chores". Well... I'm in that situation. Among all my friends, I'm the lucky one. Some work in jobs that require them to put in hours saturday and sunday. They work around 95 hours a week of really hard work. Working 60 or 70 during the week is nothing man. I'm a recent college grad and I'm programming in pretty bad conditions. Learn to suck it up and get everything you can out of your job. You're just an apprentice now, there's no reason to go looking for another job. Learn your trade and when you're good and tough and not complaining about working hard, then go find yourself something else. And it's easy... just apply to monster or dice.com, it takes hardly 6 hours a week, which you can squeeze into your "mental health" weekends. Don't be a wuss, look around, those guys working hard and not complaining are going to go into the next interview with a better attitude.
actually, i think it'll facilitate learning foreign languages much faster than we do right now. The biggest waste of time is hearing something, having to trudge through a dictionary to find what it means and then hearing the next thing. This way, you'll have streaming translations at your command so you can learn faster. Of course, lazy people would never learn another language in the first place but I'll be using this as a tool not a substitute.
