Hi there ObsessiveSonyConsoleTroll, how are you today?
I was just wondering if you'd ever tried masturbating? It can help to relieve stress in people that don't have any other outlet and you certainly seem to come under that category!
I realise that you probably haven't had much time to develop social skills and make friends due to your obsession with children's game systems, so you probably won't have been exposed to the concept before.
However, I'm sure if you ask your father or another male relative they will be happy to explain the "mechanics" of it.
After all, the alternative will likely be the eventual death of many people at your school when you finally flip and pick up an automatic rifle to stop them "disrespecting the PS3". I'm sure your father doesn't want to see his son mowed down in a hail of police fire! Well, I'm fairly sure.
PS. Never owned a console, never will own a console, don't play games, don't use any Microsoft products. With that in mind, how can you reply to this post? Will you accuse me of being an XBox fanboy anyway? I think you will. What else do you have to talk about?
Some guy didn't know he couldn't right click, so he lost a giant project?
Jesus Christ! Only a true Mac zealot would be humourless enough to respond angrily to a post like this.
It's a joke alright? It's a joke so fucking obvious that I am actually seriously concerned about the mental state of the person that doesn't realise it's a joke.
Maybe you should gather up all your Apple products and smash them into tiny pieces? After a few days without you may just start to regain some intelligence.
And the thing is, I'm probably going to get modded down for trying to help you.
Their Prism system is a good start. While it does use an Itanium2 chip, it also uses ATI graphics hardware and runs Linux.
I wouldn't call the combination of ATI graphics and Linux a good start. I'd call it a fucking disaster waiting to happen.
Or do ATI have some super-secret, actually working Linux drivers for stuff like this?
Since they seem to have so much trouble with x86 drivers, I would imagine that their Itanium drivers are quite capable of sucking dead donkeys through buckeytubes.
Are there any ATI fanboys who would like to argue against the well established facts? There usually are.
I think you'll find that MS have enough money and marketing muscle to defend themselves.
They don't need some whiney little prick like you using his incredibly biting sense of irony to try and embarass people into giving them a fair deal.
This is Slashdot, it's not a pro-MS forum. Did your friends tell you it was as a joke? Are you too stupid to find a pro-MS forum?
What difference does it make to you if people bash MS? Are you afraid your little pee-pee will fall off if you hear too much criticism of a multi-billion dollar corporation?
Oh, and what the fucking fuck is "iivl"? That's not a spelling mistake or a typing error - that's brain damage. See a doctor - preferably Dr Kervorkian.
That's strange, it's really quite speedy on my PC.
Is it possible that you:
a) Have a shitty PC? b) Have a shitty video card? c) Have shitty drivers for your video card (e.g ATI)? d) Don't know how to enable acceleration? e) Don't know what you're doing in general? f) Have never even used XOrg or E17 and just get your opinions from other Slashdot comments?
hasn't this been a back-and-forth thing. how long did it take apple to get real multithreading? how long did it take MS to get more than 13 character filenames?
I remember in the early 80's my girlfriend and other women used baby oil of all things when they laid out. I guess some study will prove this to be healthy to? The oil lubes the pores? LOL
Exposure to sunlight dries the skin. Baby oil moisturises the skin and therefore, I believe, slightly reduces the risk of serious sunburn. At least some of the pain and damage of sunburn is caused by drying of the skin.
So women covered in baby oil are not something to laugh at. As if anyone round here would.
However, the quality of the calls can be a real problem, especially in one of our offices, where the bandwidth is often saturated because of *very* large files being transferred in and out.
So you're using VoIP without any QoS then?
That kind of disqualifies you from being able to make critical comments about the technology.
If you heard someone saying "Linux sucks because you can only install it from 5.25inch floppies!", you would instantly realise that they have no idea what they're talking about and that anything they say can be safely ignored.
American is such a paragon of freedom that anyone desecrating the Stars & Stripes is committing a criminal offence.
Now imagine what would happen if Slashdot was using a correct representation of the flag but the image got corrupted in transit. All it would take is one person to see the corrupt image in their browser and report the desecration to the DHS and the Slashdot editors would be packed off to Guantanamo Bay for re-education.
Therefore it is much safer to use an image that looks like the flag but actually isn't.
PS. If you think this is satire, you're fucking deluded.
I say keep them controlled all in one place and keep them locked down as much as possible because no one wants to see the magic 13 (I think its 13 or is it more now...) hacked or compromised.
Yes, because historically keeping all of your infrastructure in one place is a great way to mitigate the effects of an attack.
In fact I believe there is a popular saying about how it's a great idea to keep all of your eggs in one basket.
And yes, I know they're not actually in one place but it doesn't pay to correct factual errors around here (I believe the Slashdot term for it is "trolling").
This must be a definition of the word "benefit" of which I was not previously aware.
In all seriousness, I do hope you got paid a decent amount of money to post that. Unfortunately you will find that it is difficult to buy back your self esteem and your reputation.
I once asked them, if I click 5 times on an ad, does that get charged 5 times? They said they couldn't say.
They were being polite. I suspect that what they actually meant was something like this:
We have our methods, thanks. We have absolutely nothing to gain and potentially a lot to lose by revealing them to a complete non-entity who isn't a customer and who probably couldn't even afford to put an ad in his local paper. Please go away before we invoice you for the 30 seconds of our time that you have just wasted, since it would most likely bankrupt you. Have a nice day.
That's my guess anyway. But I do tend to suffer from realism.
improving bios could even lead us to booting from them, and there will be no problems booting diferent OS in the same PC! e.g: like the NTFS propietary code and the MBR on linux
Is there any chance you could re-post your comment? Except this time try and make some kind of sense?
If you're saying that it would be a good idea to be able to boot from the BIOS, I think you might just find that it's already possible. I would go so far as to say that it's pretty hard to boot without some assistance from the BIOS.
Although I must admit that I'm terribly excited by your idea of being able to boot different operating systems on the same PC. The thought of a single PC with both Windows AND Linux installed makes me giddy with anticipation.
Why I am really, really tempted to post this on an NVidia fansite with the caption
LOL NVidia suxxorz ATI ownz j00!
Yes, it's absolutely shocking to see that a processor with 24bit precision can run an algorithm faster than one with 32bit precision.
If they were running an algorithm that actually required 32bit precision the results would be rather different.
I realise that this is something that will go over the heads of fanboys everywhere. And judging by some of the comments to this story, 99% of Slashdot readers.
Initially I wasn't convinced by your technical knowledge, but this additional comment makes me feel much more confident.
I'm now certain that you're not a 14 year old trying to kill time before he can masturbate again (just a hint - if the stuff that comes out is red, you've overdone it again, see a doctor).
I wonder if it fixes the 2T memory timings when using 4 sticks of ram. I really want 2 gigs of ram without loosing my current 1 gig.
I know, it's terrible isn't it? I just can't stand knowing that my system could potentially be running nearly 0.2% faster under certain, very specific, workloads.
It's advertising and FUD from those Opera guys. They are really getting boring.
- Opera adds a feature that shows the name of the site in the title bar in their last build; - Someone at Opera reports it (under a false name) as a security issue affecting every browser BUT Opera; - Slashdot runs one more article about the genious of this stupid paid-for, closed source browser.
You left out:
- Flaw is reported to Secunia, the biggest bunch of publicity whores in the security industry.
- Slashdot regurgitates their press release without exhibiting any evidence of critcal thought.
Have you ever used Objective-C? It's the SLOWEST compiled environment ever! And, because there's no garbage collection, etc, it's certainly no more secure than "raw" C (because all of C is legal in Objective-C). In many cases, Objective C is slower than Java becasue of it's "run-time" binding.
Please don't confront Mac zealots with facts. I find it to be an extremely cruel and unnecessary practice.
Kind of like kicking puppies or telling small children that Santa Claus doesn't exist.
And it's not as if you're likely to accomplish anything.
Regardless of how easy it is to download priated software or music, it's no different from stealing that very product from a store shelf.
Really? I would say that there is an incredibly obvious difference. In the latter case you are stealing a physical product that cost the producer money to make and the shopkeeper money to obtain/store.
I would go on to say that anyone unable to see this incredibly obvious difference is, in all likelihood, seriously retarded.
I would probably go on to wonder how that person remembered to breath. And also suggest that the World would be a better place if they didn't.
I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the word "fucktard" entered the discussion either.
I'll be first inline for a USENET2 where everysingle message is signed with SMIME and a signed key or OpenPGP and a key signed by an authority.
Sorry, but that bit right there? That's where I decided you were a fucking idiot.
So you basically want Usenet but without any anonymity? And what exactly do you think is going to be on this brand new safe-for-kids Usenet?
I will tell you - fuck all. Absolutely fuck all.
Maybe a couple of thinly populated technical discussion groups where everybody takes great care to avoid saying anything controversial about a product or service. You can pretty much forget about the alt. and soc. hierarchies - who'd be crazy enough to post there when they can now be stalked by the trolls in real life?
You've obviously given this a lot of thought. And yet you haven't seen the obvious flaws in the thing you wish to create. I suggest you run your ideas past a few 5 year olds in future, or anyone else you can find with superior critical thinking abilities.

MacOS is perfect in every way.
MacOS has always been perfect in every way.
We have always been at war with Eurasia.
HTH. HAND.
Or, you could just stay out of the sun, and drink milk and other vitamin D rich foods to get your vitamin D.
:
What if the Vitamin D you got from food was in a different and less effective form than the Vitamin D you get from sunlight?
Wouldn't that be something, eh?
Or to put it another way - RTFA.
The sun is not good for you.
OK. Please carry out the following experiment
Step 1. Lock yourself in a darkened room.
We'll come check on you in a couple of years. You'll be super healthy by then.
I remember in the early 80's my girlfriend and other women used baby oil of all things when they laid out.

Guess what?
There's an obvious explanation for this.

End result? We all benefit.

Simply because it's a Slashdot comment that contains some interesting and accurate technical information.
Which makes it part of a dying breed.

Hang your heads in shame you fucking drooling, slack-jawed retards.
Looks as if we will continue to need to use 3G iPod-Linux for recording audio at anything higher than 8kHz
Look, if Apple don't provide a feature it's because you don't fucking need it OK?
You cannot improve on perfection.
People who install Linux on their iPods should be rounded up and shot in the face.
It is an act of sacrilege equivalent to shitting on the face of Saint Jobs.
Apple Uber Alles! Apple Uber Alles! Apple Uber Alles!
