I like reading steadfast denial expressed in such an obtuse and spergy way that poster actually truly believes that his opinions and life choices trump the realities expressed in TFA. It's really adorable:3
Denial, anecdotal evidence, name calling and judgement, no doubt. Followed by the soft pitter patter of their tears on the pillow they also use as a masturbation aid.
Oh look, it has already begin!
Hans Reiser is just another inept murderer, the fact that happened to be good at something else is irrelevant.
no but you see he had aspergers and all the great people have aspergers anyway thats why i cant get a prom date and why its acceptable to commit murder havent u heard of einstein
I think George would say "canon" with a flick of the wrist and go back to being fanned by two topless supermodels by the side of an infinity pool somewhere in LA. At this, legions of fans will scramble to find someway to balance all of this with current canon and build up an entire explanation involving the Sith using the Force to manipulate the speech of every sentient being in the galaxy to a melody. The instrumentals are provided by background fluctuations in the Force amplified by the hard, reflective armor of the songtroopers (see: Force in terms of wave theory). In the end Zahn will publish a book confirming this and there will once again be balance.
Okay, but you have to find a good engineer, you have to pay the band, you have to pay the distribution chain if you want real distribution. Now maybe THAT is the problem; we should be able to have band, studio and engineer and the rest can be done on the internet, fuck the labels, but yeah, I'm sure a lot of people who aren't music execs would like that.
You sound like a right wing politician. FFS why has Slashdot become such a technophobic community? Why is Facebook and Apple constantly maligned for what they do? You do realize how close minded and ignorant it sounds to say things like this right?
Continue to rage againt the machine brah. Cut your internet btw, there is no way your ISP has clean hands. Also, you are correct I'm sure every Slashdotter has the resources and ability to recreate Facebook in a weekend, not to mention drum up a user base for it in a weekend or two. After all, all of us can make websites, right? Lemme brush up on my XHTML and I'll start a pure CSS based layout tonite. Larry, you get the database fleshed out! I'm thinking we use Django.. how about you guys?
Who are these CHUD people everyone on Slashdot claims to exist who communicate solely on Facebook from their underground lairs with no one on one social interaction whatsoever.
Everytime Facebook is mentioned here, a lot of people seem to create this strange stupid type of person who has 5 million friends on Facebook and talks to no one in real life. The fallacy of this is that the "person" being nerdraged against is a construct, it's easy to get mad at Facebook when you think these types of people exist and they are forced into their predicament by Zuckerberg's personal schutzstaffel. How about Slashdotter's stop freaking out about non-nerds communicating online and trying to explain from their position as a fucking Slashdot commenter that internet communication is inherently wrong.
Cue Slashdot desperately trying to explain human social interaction through sputtering and rage.
Typical Slashdotter:
"Let's step back and precociously act as though we are not part of the human race. Let's argue about the common man's style of social interaction, something we have risen above by having no social interaction, PERIOD with the exception of posting on Slashdot. By the way, posting things on the internet is stupid, talk to your friends IRL, fagget!!1"
Recording still is costly. At one point music was a live performance, like theatre. Both were considered 'low' art because they were performed as cheap entertainment with every mistake present. Recorded music and film, along with change in public perception made theatre and music much more 'high' in terms of art. However you take this and say that now there is nothing left of value in music and it should be free? People work to produce music...singers, producers and musicians for example. Why is their work no longer valuable in terms of money? Because it's recorded? If anything it's more expensive. You act like if Michalangelo didn't sculpt live that his works would be worthless too.
The inherent flaw in your argument is that you describe the grim reality of Chinese labor, and compare it to contrived and not alltogether true perception of American youth.
I'm referring to the Window's market who shifted over to Apple in general because they lost faith in MS products in general. The iPhone is easy to use and not by the company they associate with viruses and computer crashes. Remember, we are thinking as a end user here and not as a Slashdot poster so it doesn't matter if the comparison between Windows PC and smartphone is relevant.
When all you do is whine that you have to program in a native library and language for a certain product, you are impressed when your non native, forceport actually functions in a realistic time scale.
Chrome uses Webkit like Safari. Since mobile Safari
is lighter than real Safari what exactly do you dream about in a mobile version of Chrome that would improve upon mobile Safari?
This is the problem with Linux...an application should not be controlling the interface above the rules if the platform. Telling confused users to "use it the way it's meant to be used" turns people off. Not standarizing interface guidelines ruins user experience. This is why the iPhone is doing well. This is why it is 2010 and still not the year of the Linux desktop.
Apple has a standard guideline for human interfaces. Opera Mini did not comply. Opera Mini has lost. The end user has lost. But you get to feel a few seconds of self satisfaction:)
This is because they are selling a product to the end user demographic and it is a demographic sick of being rootkitted and virused and having their tech-savvyish friend come over and reinstall their OS again. Seriously, is it that hard to figure out why Apple doesn't want arbitrary code execution? If they allowed that, how quickly would you jump on them for it when it broke on Slashdot that an application had successfully stolen PII from the iPhones it was installed on and began a rant in how we should regress technology because you think Facebook is stupid?
Opera may not be the bad guy in the sense that I'm not insinuating they want to steal peoples logins, but what you have to worry about is how locked down their servers are from other people who do want that info. Maybe they are secure, but I still feel like with that kind of corporate security Apple and Facebook would be much more bulletproof (well at least Apple). I mean can you honestly say "Privacy Lawsuit Against Opera" sounds as headline grabbing as "Privacy Lawsuit Against Apple"?
Well, at one point Lynx was useful. Now it's outdated and not useful for general browsing. I can't tell if your post was a sarcastic jab at modern day web standards, but if it was you really oughtta get over it and move on with your life.
Oh, you're sure? Well stop the fucking presses, an anonymous Slashdot poster just told us he's "sure" that Apple has a cabbalistic agenda that involves not allowing Javascript and CSS if they could get away with it. Apple hated the user experience and arbitrarily hates web development staples as a corrolary. In fact, if Apple could they would sell people computers that don't turn on, they would! Prove me otherwise, amirite??
I'm sure you were a holdout who hated CSS, HTML4 and Javascript back in 99 and I'm sure that when Firefox started to snowball, you were on board because of it's superior rendering capabilities. Now Webkit, which is arguably better than Gecko, pisses you off because "fuck Apple lol". Why don't you let the grownups talk and stay on your outdated sidelines.
Are you fucking serious? People had their panties in a bunch because of _this_? People talk shit about iPhone's Safari because they'd rather use what you just described? Yeah, screw Apple and their crappy crap that brings nothing new to the table! Now here, here is a real contender, this Opers Mini. For starters, it's not Apple.

Thank you, it has been duly noted by Apple that you do not appreciate them making millions off of products that you deem useless.

Well you have to remember, violent video games will mess up children, especially America's finest boys, the Scouts. Of course molestation won't.

I realize the OP was being a troll, but please mod the parent up. /.ers need this awareness. Facebook is not for /.ers, we are too cool to have friends.

No, I don't think it is. Prototype can be remotely controlled, so the fuck what? How is this disconcerting?
