Pretty is just as cheap to mass produce as ugly. GM should take a lesson. I disagree.
Designers that do pretty and functional can get more for their product and therefore charge more for their services.
Cheap designers (or really-engineers calling themselves designers) do functional well...sometimes and ugly tends to be the product.
Ok, so we've got a disgruntled programmer/cop and he's not getting credit for software the state uses for official business?
Hopefully they never notice the Superman 3 code that he borrowed implemented with a deadman switch.
Seriously...Don't they know not to mess with guys with guns and nerding skills?
As a Rhode Islander, I'd be happy if Canada annexed New England. We'd have socialized medicine, a (relatively) intelligent government, the ability to say "Eh," Kids in the Hall would be hometown heros instead of "Those Funny Gay Men" and we'd not have to deal with how frigging cold it is there.
Huh??????????????????????
6000 years is about the time anything lasts for.
What does that even mean???
I was making a joke...course you pretty much illustrated my point!
That'd be great! It'd be awesome because then you could see the earth 2 billions years ago...Wait! it didn't exist because the world's only 6000 years old...But the rest of the universe is older...?
Well, even a crash landing would be better than...Take off BOOM, or coming in for a landing BOOM...
So no matter what they do they've got a 50% chance of being better off than NASA.
I'm fond of Veritas/Symantec for windows based backups. A pain to initially configure, but the support has gotten MUCH better and it's pretty flexible about what media you can backup to and from.
It's been pretty good to me for disaster recovery and it's easy to set up media rotation (which is a very important thing to a small business owner that doesn't want to go crazy creating and maintaining media libraries.
so, given that slashdot hasn't had an interesting story in 14 days and my insightful comments are modded funny or redundant or flamebait. IM DONE. FUCK SLASHDOT. USELESS CRAP!!!
LAST POST, EVER!!!!!!!
Just a little off topic, but IE is down to 90%? when did that happen? My question is, programs (like realplayer) that dial home to artificially inflate web stats do they use the default browser or do they use IE? that could have a huge impact on percentages, since it's the site with the largest number of hits.
Libertarian is Conservative Anarchy. It's basically hipster anarchists who got some money.
By anarchy, of course I mean french democratic style, not the "Anarchy in the UK" style that people think is what Anarchy is about.
Either way, it's a short sighted ethos. Anarchy!!! Everyone is free!!!
Yeah, unless you're black gay or left handed in the deep south after the government collapses.
Basically Anarchy is great for rich white trustafundians to latch onto until they collect the trust and then they become Libertarians.
You joke, but I've had more than one friend who seized or stroked out due to to flashing/strobe lights. it's a serious situation, one that I'm happy to collect volunteers to test the viability of.
Hey mods, this is not trolling. This is the opinion of an experience user who has noticed that it doesn't matter whether a thing is done for the right reasons in Linux, it's still done because at the end Linux is directed by Linus. Which is NOT freedom, but close.
It's that way because Linus says so. No matter whether there are good or bad reasons behind that, Linus says so and because Linus says so, you're FREE (as in freedom)

Yeah, but it loses several million veracity points for the popcorn incident.
Don't worry about that...Just flag it fud and notfud and just leave it for the future you to worry about.

They'll use them for making a giant mailman eating machine. This will take care of the extra postal employees as well as the extra mailboxes.

This is NO WAY flamebait. This is a reply to a post.
The thing is...I can't fork the kernel. Nor can 99.9% of computer users. So we're stuck with what is given. In the case of Linux, it's Linus's world.
