Any policeman with a gun strapped to his side is an inititial, immediate threat. The fact that it's impossible to trust them, even to do what is in their best interests, makes any situation where you are near one more volatile. The fact that police unions across the country still cater to Harry Anslingers beliefs, a man who died 60 years ago, over any conceivable application of American liberties or ideals, shows that not a single man with a badge can be trusted. Any encounter with the police must be realized to perhaps be the last thing you will experience as a living human being on this planet. There is no compromise, they can, and will terminate you as a sentient being for any reason at their own whim, and even though you will be dead, they will face no accountability by their peers.
How about, Apple is a dickhead company that steals (in the name of open source) other people work and never credits it, while maintaining their highly valuable social position? Fuck Apple and if you buy any of their products you are a bigger dumbass than they are.
Today Woot.com has for $650 a much nicer computer than those listed at much lower prices. 1 HP Pavilion dv7-1261wm Dual Core 2.2GHz Turion, 4GB DDR2, 500GB HD, Gigabit LAN, BluRay, eSATA, HDMI
That's pretty nice, and it can upgrade ram to 8 gb even. I'm all for supporting local or online linux only vendors, but when the prices are like double...sorry. Windows tax or whatever, sometimes it comes in handy to have a valid windows liscense.
I love my N810 too. Last I looked though the prices spiked after they stopped selling them new at Amazon. For my new phone I chose the best "dumb phone" with the most features I could find, because really as long as I can tether my n810 that's good enough! My old phone's bluetooth was not reliable at all, and that really sucked. It sucks that n900 is T-Mobile only, in any case. They have no plans to offer coverage where I live.
Still it was fixed by the time I heard about it, yesterday. I've become a recent Microsoft convert, but they tend to pretend this isn't happening, till they release a fix on their own good time. And Apple just breaks everything for everyone else all the time so let's not go there. I'll be the first ever person to ever say I bought Apple hardware just to find out that Apple broke it for me cause I wasn't just cool.
I agree. AT&T has enough issues and people have enough reasons to complain, people who want standard pricing to bend around them just cause they are the most loyal Apple guy don't help anyone. The two year plan helps subsidize the cost of the phone. I don't understand. All you hear is iphone people saying that any other comparable device sucks compared to their wonderful technological wonder of a phone, and now suddenly they just can't live without the next super duper upgrade, which may or may not still be inferior to what they had just been dissing a short while ago. Suck it up Apple guys, you always have and always will pay a premium to flaunt your superiority at the rest of the world:(
Hey I paid $100 for Windows Vista, and it's missing a lot of features on my Gentoo install on the computer over. If not amateurish to charge all this money for an inferior operating system, I don't know what to call it. Arrogant and demeaning? Hey I like video games, is why I paid for Windows, but Microsoft peddles amateur crap all the time, and like Apple it's fanboys will mock you and defend it till the end.
Steve Jobs is SOOO COOOL. Like you can tear apart a iphone just like him and install any operating system or software on it you want, cause you paid for it. You can do anything you want on an iphone, and it's better than anything else in the world, because apple is so awesome!
You'd have a point, if non-votes were counted. Unfortunately, if none of the candidates agree with you on a certain issue, sometimes it's better to vote for the lesser of two evils. I think often the act of participating in voting is stressed a lot. If you can find a candidate who agrees with you on a lot of things, sometimes that's your best bet. Then again, sometimes things said in the campaign are forgotten during their term. It may be for the better if non-votes got some weight, it's like saying all of these candidates disgust me why would I vote for one of these. Or it's just being complacent, in which case your non-vote could count as approval, like for the incumbent or his party. It's pretty easy getting to the voting booth where I live, but with those long lines in lots of parts of the country, those people's non-votes due to inconvenience would have counted too.
Considering you can get an OS for $0, suddenly paying more than $20 seems crazy for a computer os. Then again, if you just buy a computer for games to out-rival ps3 or 360, $100 for a video game OS seems more realistic. Not sure what Microsoft was thinking, not including NFS and ftp support in "Home Premium" but wanting another $100 for "Ultimate" which is targeted to "power users". Who are running other OS's for free and Microsoft wants another $100 just for the privilidge of using their network protocol? You really have to ask yourself why you pay so much for something. Irrationality is pretty common amongst every group of people though:)
Indeed. AT&T's support telephone network is a collossal cluster fudge. At one point in getting my dsl switched from telephone/dsl to just dsl I had 3 different ip addresses, the same number of accounts, and this was something that took about 7 hours talking to dozens of different representatives to figure out. The next 10 hours were spent explaining the situation first, then either getting made fun of or transferred. I listened to that infuriating answer message 100 times I bet. Eventutally they sent out a tech to my place, he saw with his eyes what I'd told dozens of people and called in and it was working right the same day. To make it even more infuriating the dozens and dozens of people I'd spoken with were all in call centers, had no way to identify themselves, and refused to admit they had a supervisor.
If DSL wasn't more reliable than cable here...alas. Besides I'd wasted so much of my time (and had had to upgrade my new cell phone from a different company's minutes 3 times), it was just more convienient to stay with AT&T. Never received a sinsere apology, they never admitted that they had done anything wrong.
The AT&T tech support guys are pretty great people though. They don't have a problem with you running linux as long as you can do all their steps...which is better as no rebooting just command line.
Nod but people even those who are too stupid to use a gaming console deserve some protection. If Nintendo was shipping a product with known flaws and not making it clear enough with the documentation shipped with the product that the wee remote is potently a dangerous weapon if used with a tv set if you fling it towards. I say, let them have their time in court, their defeat will be even more satisfying.
Would someone explain this comment to me? What does Tourette's have to do with tagging at all. Hmm, I guess I'm asking why is this funny? I've done a lot of reading on Tourette's and I have no idea why the original poster would have thought it was funny at all, the thing he wrote. I really don't understand in any way. I'm sure that's why the original poster was anonymous, but I don't think he understood anything at all about "severe Tourette's". And you hear 12 year old doing the whole backlash "IT'S NOT FAIR" but I would consider this comment to be pretty much all the explanation you would need, unless someone wants to clue me in. There is a reason a lot of websites require you to be 13 at least to comment, kids.
Ya latency is actually really important to me. I set all the clocks at my apartment 10 or 12 minutes ahead, I've discovered it helps me greatly in getting to work, events on time. The only issue I've ran into is when I scrobble music tracks to last.fm, and check my profile, it says I listened to them "in 10 minutes" and so on:)
market, mind you, because no consumer would choose these crap products, but if the **AA can force legislation and regulation which mandates copy
The fact is, Sony knows that people WILL buy their products. Sony is a huge Japanese company which is sortof a flip flop from the automobile industry. The American car manufacturers know that people WILL buy crap cars, even though the Japanese companies who manufacture cars in the USA for sale in the USA have a better, more reliable, and cheaper product. The American car companies are so big and such a influential part of American society that they know there is no hurry to make a better car, or to help society, they are just concerned with profits, and know that the government will bail them out if neccessary. In this case, Sony is the huge company that knows that the people they are marketing root-kitted cds to (teenagers) will always buy their product, and the only reason they are trying to cover up is because they stunk up their image enough to where they are losing money. $12 million dollars? I thought they were losing billions of dollars a year to pirates. In any case, in my opinion Sony is just trying to keep their reputation clean, as there are still a lot of competitors to them who compete against the "Sony" name, they could care less what sort of drivel they market to teenagers, obviously.
The free report also details which of the open source packages found have passed OpenLogic's 42-point certification process and list the open source licenses involved.
The inventory analysis report is free for up to 500 computers. Beyond that, OpenLogic will charge the customer, Weins said. Pricing for the inventory service for more than 500 machines starts at US$5,000.
I think this is just a company which had an idea, and obviously have put some time into bringing to life, and will market it any way they can. I haven't let a Microsoft or Apple program dirty up my personal computer in about 5 years, so I'm pretty confident that at least 95% of what is running on my computer is open source. But maybe this company will be able to find some big companies to whom $5000 isn't a big deal compared to their profits, and the more power to them.
Their 42-point certification is a little suspect to me, but I'd assume they think they can find enough marks to support hiring on a couple salesmen who can make this load of crap seem like a good idea to the right companies. Who knows heh.
No need to try to find a nefarious purpose behind this, I don't think. Hey, I'd say it'd be one of those programs that you'd download just for laughs, besides the fact they obviously spent some man hours and are intending to spend some time keeping their database up to date. Of course, being a Gentoo junkie, I wonder how hard it'd be, just set up the portage tree, identify the very small percentage of non-open-source, and sortof go from there. But still, it's an idea, and if they can get large companies to pay $5000, the more power to them.
Please note that people expect you to magically fix their broken windows installations, which is annoying to me because I quit using MS software 5 years ago and to even touch a MS installation makes me feel somehow dirty or queesy inside. Some people won't leave you alone and it's frustrating when they come to you complaining about any of a dozen weird problems Windows users have all the time, what are you supposed to say to them? I think after hearing the same ridiculous problems over and over from people, and from 10 years of previous personal experience running windows, that it's fair to say that your computer just rebooting IS "just normal Windows" and I do not think it's lying at all. Now, if people were actually paying you to fix their computer maybe they would deserve a more in depth explanation, obviously. But most linux advocates take a lot of crap from smug Windows users more than happy to be unpaid Microsoft marketing advocates, and believe me if the above is your criteria for "lying in order to push your agenda" then Windows advocates "lie" ALL THE TIME.
It worked right out of the box. No tweaking required. Of course you Windows snobs never ever tweak your machine, nor does it crash, and it gives you head...I know, I know.
Hey Republicans had every chance to look at the issue and stop whoring out our country to super duper corporations, but chose instead to listen to Rush Limbaugh and ilk mock anybody who brought up this issue, calling them whiners and crybabies.
You are not a crybaby or a whiner are you? Are you ready to recognize that it is crucial for our native to survive as a democracy that we elect people who actually give a crap about stuff like this? How shameful that it took you losing an election to actually give a crap about whether people are actually elected fairly or not.
I guess it gives you a bigger woody to bash those damn "liberals", and blame every problem ever on them, and to label anyone not Republican and "conservative" a traitor or a pervert. WTG!!!!
Look, I'm not a Registered Democrat (independant) but I voted heavily Democratic Tuesday, because I strongly disagree with many things that the Republican party has done in recent years, and I feel that checks and balances are incredibly important.
That being said I've been outraged by the state of electronic voting for years, and even with the very very close Democratic takeover of congress (which I am ecstatic about), I am STILL outraged by the state of electronic voting in this country.
Listening to Republicans bash bash bash Democrats for not making noise about the electronic voting when it worked in their favor for a change is absolutely absurd. For one thing it's only been a couple of days since the elections. You are completely out of your mind if you think that Democrats are going to be screaming at the top of their lungs that "We Won!!!! The election was rigged!!!!" For another thing, the CEO of Diebold isn't Democratic and didn't gaurantee a Democratic victory.
But the clincher, for me, is that the morning after the 2004 Election a very important family member of mine was bitching to high heaven that the Democrats would force a recount and would drag it out into December again. I listened to Kerry's speech conceding the election, then went to this family member. He absolutely refused to believe it. He was just bash bash bashing the "evil liberals" and refused to believe that they would do the honorable thing.
Republicans, admit it. Half the time your talking points about the evil liberals are more a mirror reflection of what you do yourselves, and your recent complaining about the Democrats not taking electronic voting because they are now in power is a perfect example of that. I for one hope that you again are making yourself look like fools, and this will be proven when congress finally actually does tackle the issue of electronic voting, SOMETHING CONGRESS DIDN'T DO WHEN YOUR "HOMIES" WERE IN POWER.
That being said do we really have to be so confrontational all the time? Aren't we all Americans and like living here? I'd really appreciate it if we could try to get along and conduct rational discussions and actually work together to make this a better place for a change. Hint: Listening to Michael Savage pronouce every liberal a "pervert" and a "traitor" doesn't help things much:P
History channel international ran a show a month or two ago about Japan and how the evidence points to them actually haven tested a nucleur bomb, soon after the US had dropped theirs. The show said Japan had 2 seperate teams working on the bomb, one in Tokyo, one in Korea, and while the Tokyo team was quite small, the Korea team used extensive slave labor to build underground facilities, etc. According to the show the American forces destroyed all centrifuges, whereas most of the research had been destroyed by the Japanese themselves beforehand. As far as the Korean team goes, I believe the show said the Soviets got their hands on most of that.
Of course at the time Japan was pretty much under siege and the only forseeable way to transport such a bomb would be to sneak it in by ship... pretty much impossible I'd think. Still was a fascinating show. While they had several aged scientists and witnesses, I remain a little sceptical, however. You never know I guess.
but admit that we are dependant on a microsoft OS because of its interoperability with 90% of the programs most computer-savvy people need to survive their day-to-day lives.
Hmmmm, I wouldn't consider you a computer-savvy person if you can't find fully functional if not better Linux replacements for 90% of Microsoft software (except games). Even with games if you are calling yourself "computer savvy" I think you can set up wine or winex or something and get most games to run on Linux. Hmm...I've heard strong cases from people in specific cases (graphics, music editing, some office software), but to say that computer savvy people are dependant on Microsoft OS is a little over the top.
I haven't touched Microsoft software for like 5 years and I guess your comment struck a chord with me, as it implies that I am not "computer savvy", heh.
Guns don't stand up for the ideals of Harry Ansligner. Policeman stand up for the ideals of Harry Ansligner. Who cares if you are black and happen to be a policemant. Way to stand up for the ideals of Harry Anslinger!!! Ya!!! I can go to the store and buy enough alcohol to kill myself and other people! I can't go to the store and buy some pot which won't make go kill anyone!!! So cool, being a black racist!! Fuck ya!! Stand for something!! Your own damn paycheck, you black racist pig. And all you white racist pig policeman. You all FUCKING SUCK. Go do some reasearch on Harry Ansligner, if that word isn't too big for you you fucking racist pigs. Go ask yourself why you support the police lobbyists keeping pot illegal. Fuck you. Fuck you and the anti-american principles you fight for. Yay for Harry Anslinger!!! I can buy more beer tomarrow!!! But not a god damn joint!!! How can you look yourself in the eye, policeman racist pig.

Any policeman with a gun strapped to his side is an inititial, immediate threat. The fact that it's impossible to trust them, even to do what is in their best interests, makes any situation where you are near one more volatile. The fact that police unions across the country still cater to Harry Anslingers beliefs, a man who died 60 years ago, over any conceivable application of American liberties or ideals, shows that not a single man with a badge can be trusted. Any encounter with the police must be realized to perhaps be the last thing you will experience as a living human being on this planet. There is no compromise, they can, and will terminate you as a sentient being for any reason at their own whim, and even though you will be dead, they will face no accountability by their peers.
That's why I liked math a lot more then chemistry in school. In chemistry you had to memorize tons of specific terms.
How about, Apple is a dickhead company that steals (in the name of open source) other people work and never credits it, while maintaining their highly valuable social position? Fuck Apple and if you buy any of their products you are a bigger dumbass than they are.
I forgot to mention a 17" screen. Even the $1000+ laptops on those linux websites were for a 14 or 15 inch screen.
Today Woot.com has for $650 a much nicer computer than those listed at much lower prices. 1 HP Pavilion dv7-1261wm Dual Core 2.2GHz Turion, 4GB DDR2, 500GB HD, Gigabit LAN, BluRay, eSATA, HDMI That's pretty nice, and it can upgrade ram to 8 gb even. I'm all for supporting local or online linux only vendors, but when the prices are like double...sorry. Windows tax or whatever, sometimes it comes in handy to have a valid windows liscense.
I love my N810 too. Last I looked though the prices spiked after they stopped selling them new at Amazon. For my new phone I chose the best "dumb phone" with the most features I could find, because really as long as I can tether my n810 that's good enough! My old phone's bluetooth was not reliable at all, and that really sucked. It sucks that n900 is T-Mobile only, in any case. They have no plans to offer coverage where I live.
