What about if that user had a quite a few highly modded posts, but one fatal *mistake* caused his or her karma to plummet unceasingly? For example, this account that I'm posting on is somewhat of a clone account, because on my original account, after many "+5 Funny" or "+5 Insightful" or "+X Whatever" mods; I posted something that offended somebody or something like that, and now I get a -1 on EVERY GODDAMN THING I post, regardless of whether I am funny, troll, on topic, off, or whatever! Who is to blame for that load of horseshit? I can't get get a better karma score because I have a "terrible" rating; and I have a "Terrible" rating because I can't get a better score. It's a catch 22 cycle that I CANNOT get out of!
How many fucking times are you going to say that today? After the first three, I started referencing "FauxPasIII" with "EmperorLinux employee." Give it a rest, already!!
And here I thought an "alien" was anything that was not native to a certain place, eg. A Californian, by definition, would be an "alien" in, say, Montana; regardless of whether or not he/she was understood.
I'm probably wrong, so let the flaming and modding down begin. . .
Maybe it's time you bought yourself an ipod like everyone else.
Or maybe it's time YOU quit being an asshat and assuming that everyone has an extra $199 to shell out for an MP3 player. If he wants to just have a CD player, that's his prerogative. Fuck off, asswipe!

You can't say that. I'm sure they would love to use these so-called "Windows," but it seems Microsoft owns that word. . . For that matter, any word that might sound like Windows, or lead the user to believe that they might be bying something similar in appearance.
What happens on days that are overcast? What about companies that work 24/7, for example tech support or sales companies? In the end, this will probably be more efficient than electric lights, but I imagine electricity will still suppliment it.
what will be coming the fastest single core coming out of the fab plants?
Who gives a flying fuck? Not me. I'm still running a 1.4Ghz AthlonXP and I don't see ANY difference between that and my parents' 2.4Ghz Pentium 4. Clock speeds are a worthless piece of marketing shit.
Who gives a flying fuck about which console has a "more powerful GPU?" As far as I'm concerned, all 3 current consoles have near photorealistic graphics. Why not put a bunch of cash into R&D for outstanding AI, gameplay, game length, sound mapping, etc. Fuck the pretty pictures, they aren't required for gaming. If you play the original Pong, it's got 2 lines and 1 moving dot, probably a total of ~250 pixels. If you play Pong with 3D rendered paddles and a vertex shaded ball, antialiased, with texture maps, bump maps, and the like. . . guess what? You're still just playing Pong. The game didn't change a bit.
Unless some game comes along which I consider worth the price of the console + the price of the game
I must agree with you. I didn't buy myself a PlayStation 2 until about 2 months ago, and that was because Metal Gear Solid 3 amazed me to point that I could no longer go through life without a PS2.
That being said, fuck Microsoft and their Goddamned Xbox.
Please mod me down, because replying to one's self is stupid; but I must also mention that the anti-counterfeiting measures on Utah DL's are practically impregnable. The State Seal, the names of every county, the [current] Governer's signature, and the holder's signature are all part of the background of the card, made with holographic printing techniques. The holder's picture is on there twice; one at regular size and color level to identify with, and one at a smaller size with faded coloring set behind all of the information wording. Also, a picture of the state capitol building is the backmost image on the card. On top of everything else, the card isn't just laminated paper, it's like a credit card; everything is printed right on the plastic. Correct me if I'm wrong, but those are some drastic security measures.
Not to be a troll or rain on your parade or anything, but it's my own personal insight that if FOSS software were "incorperated" into a Windows OS, it would cease to be FOSS. I believe Microsoft would not incorporate said software unless they had copyrights {READ: ownership} of it. Imagine with me for a moment how much you would dislike Firefox if it was Microsoft branded. Not because you are or are not a fanboy, but because it would cease development in the path that it's going now. Microsoft would focus less on having a superior browsing experience and more on putting out a new version with no new features. In no time, we'd go from the current Firefox 1.0 to MS Firefox 5.5, with few or no updates, with the exception of maybe some UI tweaks. I, for one, hope that they do not "incorporate" open source software, unless the original developers can persuade a clause that the source stay open and the original development team still be the primary authors.
WiFi instead of IrDA. Come on, what were they thinking? IrDA sucks, WiFi has so much more going for it. IMHO that was a poor choice.
If you had RTFA, you would know that the PSP is capable of either infrastructure or 16-device Ad Hoc wireless networking, based on the IEEE 802.11b standard.
I look forward to his long-winded rambling pseudo-philosophical treatise on what it feels like to step down, and how that relates to the ethos of the Open Source movement.
I, for one, welcome our new long-winded, rambling, pseudo-philosophical overlords.

Because, at least in my mind, Adobe is a respectable software company. One that should not stoop so low as to be compared to common malware.
You know, you're right. I wish to retract my asshole comment, but I can't now. Hopefully, I'll get modded down to compensate.

Utah DL's have all of those, with the exception of "full" legal name. As mentioned previously, the middle name is replaced by an initial.
Just my 2 cents. . .

I hadn't heard of this service before now, but it sounds like it's going to prove useful.
