But really I don't see the difference between diluted Christians/Jews/Muslims/Buddhists/Hinduists and Scientologists.
Do Scientologists become better people in general? If Scientology would be promoted to state religion, how long would that society last?
Stop bashing the story and start listening to the teachings. If you read the Bible, you'll realize none of it was supposed to be literal anyway.
Do you really think worshipping money (debt, actually) is a better alternative? Look around you: are the people you know, happy? Do they live a truly fulfilling life? Do you?
People get poor deals on telephone service, mortgages and financial services because they are ignorant and lazy not because they are unable to do better if they put some effort into the negotiations.
You can't have PhD's in every single area of your life. And please don't bring up financial services when even the knowledgeable (those who do this for a living) ran head forward into the the wall. And how do you negotiate with a multi-billion dollar company? They'll just tell you to go away.
Bah. Who am I fooling. Money is God, customers are Opponents (if not the Enemy), and if they buy your product and it's bad for them, they deserve it and they should feel bad!
The only way is to rewrite it to work that way, or to have more than one scheduler in the kernel. I don't want to do the former, and mainline doesn't want to do the latter.
Who gives a fuck about mainline? If it's good, people will use it. And if more people use this than the default one, perhaps it's time to rethink some things.
but linux is too broadly applied to force it to meet all cases. realtime, embedded, servers, desktop: i just don't think one scheduler can be shoehorned to maximize performance for all those.
I thought scalability was the main strength of Linux as an OS. Perhaps it's time we did the same with the kernel. Just as you don't need CUPS if you don't have a printer, you don't need a scheduler scaling to 2^32 CPUs for a laptop.
The more things software is asked to do the higher the chance that it will do at least some of those things poorly.
Interestingly, this browser also demonstrates this. Vim-like key bindings? Really? Show me one person who uses the keyboard for browsing and doesn't expect F5 to reload the page.
They quite clearly broke the Rule of Least Surprise.
What AC is trying to say is that money is not an inherent characteristic of a job. Any job, if done while living in the wrong house, can have income issues. So for the purpose of evaluating jobs you cannot look at income.
Apologies for not buying $1000 hardware for a $20 game.
While technically correct it's out of the scope of what's being discussed.
No, it's not. The very act of making the game more "realistic" is what destroys any chance of me being able to play it without frustration.
In an FPS, where the gameplay requires a response time as fast as possible both from you and your computer, you don't really watch the shiny effects while being "immersed".
For the record, the laptop in question is newer than the game I tried to play.
Money is a tool, it doesn't control anything, people do.
Except some of those people are bound by law to make profit for the shareholders. Yeah, I know, laws are just tools too. But the current climate is heavily tilted towards making money vs. everything else, including human life, culture and morality.

Rule #1 of internet discussions: if you're not sure about something, post it as a fact, and people will research the answer for you.
It's banned in some European countries, too. In the rest, it's not a religion.
And also the tiny little fact that we already have fast and responsive user interfaces locally. I say kill this thing with fire.

Nothing teaches politicians honest like public humiliation.
Hit their wallet.
to have the program nixed because it would bite into their profit if the general public could make sense out of pricing and fees
OMG competition! Think of the shareholders!

Another one for the Geeks-are-great-at-naming-things wall.
All the TLAs are taken anyway. As always, you'll have to look at the context.

Now go ahead and wonder why smart but poor students need to sell their future to get a chance for a decent life.
I really hope European carriers will carry the N900
They will. In Hungary, for example, the mere idea of a phone with a tampered OS is ridiculous.
Yet.

Apologies for not buying $1000 hardware for a $20 game.
So for $20 extra, you get to use all the features of your phone.
I know where my next phone is coming from.

Portal is an exception. I hate FPSs and I paid good money to play that game.
Duh. It's not a FPS, it's a FPPG.
That doesn't mean Crysis would be better without the first-person view. It's the realism that makes that kind of game.
No, it's the framerate. AvP2 is much more immersive than Bioshock on my integrated video card.
sounds good to me, donno any environmentalists who would object to burning less coal.
As long as you don't want them to give up their car, they're fine.
How long does slashdot take to load where you live?
Irrelevant. Bandwidth does not equal data cap. You could burn up your monthly allowance in an hour.
criminal mischief charge
Technically, this is worse than an armed robbery: you get charged with all kinds of things if you try to defend your property.
