Sigh. Do I need to explain the joke? It's based on the stereotype that Catholics have lots of children because they aren't allowed to use birth control. Do you get it now?
I used to think like that and stayed with Oracle much too long putting up with management's BS. Now I work for Google for a few months and couldn't be happier. Google is hiring developers aggressively "in this economic climate". Opportunities are there, you just need to look for them.
So, will you know what to look for when Google becomes like Oracle?
If not jumping in the water under the delusion that that could save him, and therefore not drowning with him octopus-grabbing you, means I”m “scum“ to you,
Hmmmm, so Hurricane78 is actually the same person as girlintraining, and using multiple accounts. Interesting.
This has nothing to do with the media telling everyone that we shouldn't even risk a glimpse at the sunlight without a generous slathering with SPF 2 billion sunscreen and a hat.
That's right, it has nothing to do with that. Did you want a gold star for that off-topic comment?
Yes, I've seen that. But one guy saying it doesn't make it true. You need more evidence than that. This doesn't pass journalistic muster.
Furthermore, that doesn't apply to every Apple rumor article. It's not like slashdot and other places are getting leaks directly from Apple. Those articles are published because Apple rumors are popular fodder.
Firstly, "megapixel" is a stupid marketing term for resolution. But the way he used the word wasn't even grammatically correct. I don't think it's even technically correct - what does "decent megapixel" mean, that one megapixel is better than another megapixel? "More megapixels" would be a better usage, but still redundant as we already have the word "resolution."
and what was the user interface innovation of 1984? The reinvention of the windowing GUI or reinvention of the mouse? Or perhaps it was the reinvention of using the two together?
The innovation was making it all work together smoothly, and forming enduring interface metaphors in the public mind. That wasn't an easy thing to accomplish.
It might be genuine people writing genuine articles, but it's still fed from the strategic "leaks" put out by Apple, with the purpose of generating hype.

So, you're fine with an obese, smelly girl flopping her fat rolls onto you while eating disgusting food?
I'd much rather a song I hate being played at a reasonable volume, than a shrill phone ringing sound played at a high volume.
Sounds kind of like Ayn Rand's slashdot.org. Oh wait, we already have that.

It's a joke, son.

Nobody says "damn" in those situations. They say "fuck" or "shit" or "fucking cunt."
No, you're the only one who thinks about Star Trek 11.
First Sale is a copyright issue.
No, it's not.
For something to be defined as art it has to have no purpose or function other than itself.
Except that definition is complete bullshit.
Why would we want to install a catholic ruler?
For the children?

So, the solution to quality astrophotography is basically a big gay Andrew Lloyd Webber musical on rollerskates?

Maybe we need to come up with something better.
I know! How about a password for our passwords?
Good to see Firefox not opting into a system that pushes us towards a non-free de-facto standard.
Yeah, because Flash is so Open and Free.

What evidence do you have for that claim?
The booksize computer is the smallest screen that gives you decent megapixel.
"Decent megapixel," WTF? Do you not know the word "resolution"?
Except the hype isn't coming from Apple, it's coming from "pundits" and the "tech media."
No, but most people are
Riiiight. Because you are the übermensch who is above it all, while everybody else is a stupid and gullible.
Bingo! Why would anyone need or want a status symbol or a fashion item?
Because it helps you socially and in your career? It helps you get laid or find a mate? Why the hell do you think people want such things?
I'm curious, do you dress in rags?
Apparently slashdot doesn't understand deadpan humor.
The first five films available to rent through YouTube will cost $3.99 for a 48-hour viewing period.
$3.99 isn't bad for five films, but 48 hours isn't really enough time to watch them, unless you're hosting a movie marathon.
