And while they're at it, how about having keys with some depth and travel. I'm typing this on a USB keyboard plugged into a laptop because I hate the awful keys. Also, the awful mouse-substitute pads are awfully awful. Is a trackball too much to ask for?
I believe the current state of the world is unpleasant and icky, and we should build a fairy utopia in the clouds to live in.
This utopia will be free from strife, discord, and people who don't agree with me. After all, I'm always right. Some people argue that they are right and I am not, but in the end I always agree with myself.
The liberals and communists have hijacked the concept of utopia with things such as "progress" and "dictatorship of the proletariat". We can have utopia NOW if we discard these concepts, which after all do not coincide with common practice. We are hardwired to want things the same, all the time, and have somebody else tell us when and how to do them. It is only natural.
In conclusion, once you all have built this fairy utopia in the clouds, I will ascend to rule it. Until such a time, I'll just bitch about how everyone else sucks.
It sure is nice to be able to jump from any point in code to another. I also like to allocate all the registers for special internal functions ("global" registers), leaving only EAX for public use (except when used as a return value). Oh yeah, and I love how C lets me have all the speed an elite hacker like myself needs, yet leaves me unencumbered with the last 30 years of advancement in computer science. Likewise, Linux lets me pretend I'm hacking on a PDP-11 in the basement of MIT...I sure hate virtual addressing, it just slows a computer down (you VAX nerds know what I mean).
Importantly, a change in direction entails a loss of energy that is radiated away as gravity waves, which explains why all orbiting bodies are in a death spiral. Oh wait, that doesn't happen...so much for physics. It must be Intelligent Design. Thank you Jesus for this our confusing universe.
After attempting and failing to reconstruct the pyramid of Cheops, experimenters conclude that "the fabled Pyramids of Egypt are likely just a myth, there's no way they could have built such a huge pile of stone slabs when we with our mighty technologies cannot do so today."
Anything that can be done can be done in any Turing-complete language. So what? Putting objects in C is like emulating structured programming in Assembly--certainly doable, but what kind of idiot would you be? If you want modern paradigms, use languages that have them built in. This sort of excludes the hack that is C++, I admit...
I think this is supposed to be true in the US, that the plaintiff in frivolous suits must reimburse the defendant, much like it is also true that prior art should prevent you from obtaining and prosecuting a patent.
Face it, gentlemen, the rule of law is long dead in the US, the ship is sinking, and the rats are gorging themselves before jumping ship.
You can't even use the free version to get your sea legs under you, because the license does not allow you to use code you wrote with the free version in the paid versions.
Huh? Unless you actually DISTRIBUTE, even under the GPL you can do whatever you like in the privacy of your own home or shop. If they don't like it, screw 'em, because that's what "privacy" is all about--what happens behind closed doors is not relevant to society's functioning (in general).
Now if RMS can get some GNU branded MP3 equipment out...oh yeah, hardware takes actual industrial capacity and money, which means organizing actual professionals who expect a steady flow of hard cash. Back to the commune, then!
I'll be right over to dig through your cupboards and drawers...just to be on the safe side. You aren't hiding anything, are you? If not, you have no reason to complain.
AMD beats Intel handily there. This bodes ill for AMD, since the US market always rejects the superior product in favor of the ubiquitous, generic, default one. Maybe AMD should downgrade their processors and market them as McJunk to capture a commanding lead.
Under Article [redacted] of the Patriot Act and Articles [redacted] of the DMCA, you are guilty of aiding and abetting enemies of corporate America. You are hereby subject to arbitrary seizure and extradition to a country with unfriendly interrogation practices, where you will confess your crimes and subsequently be remanded to the Chestnut Tree Cafe for public recantation prior to liquidation. Do not be alarmed.
I guess the prof's theoretical calculations don't explain why HVAC lines will make a fluorescent tube light up at a distance, yet Earth's magnetic field does nothing...
But when will they discover the ever elusive gravitic monopole? According to theory, these should exist. However, all observations of gravity rest upon the interaction of two or more objects.

Kind of puts a different meaning to the phrase...
We'll just have to let THEM pull up the average, all my their lonesomes.

Woohoo...recompile them in Windows and now Windows has the larger toolbox (since you can't port its meager selection to Unix).

At least future generations will be able to read your email--with a secret government subpoena, of course.

Nothing like a good olde-fashioned demagogue and hatemongerer to get people back on the path to morality. Father Coughlin, where are you?

I'll have to consult the archives on this one.

I hereby claim a method of losslessly compressing audio, to wit, I claim that:
...
1) audio exists,
2) it can be losslessly compressed,
3) there exists some algorithm to compress audio losslessly,
4)
5) profit.
Item 4 is redacted to protect valuable trade secrets under the DMCA and Patriot Act.
I consider it my reward that my ancestors immigrated to the USA before your'n, and git off my land, you!
Yes, but gay people are icky, so it is OK.
That's the transmission. You must be thinking of the gerbil with the wheel.
