You are very lucky! My BF doesn't even know what NetHack is! I doubt if he's ever heard the words 'Linux' or 'baudrate' before! I've got a jock-emo. Oh well, at least he always looks good... If only he was also a geek. I guess you can't always have everything.
Why would anyone ever need or want to boot Windows apart from gamers, who generally hate Mac hardware in the first place? I can't really think of anything where Windows does it better than Mac OS X or Linux.
Well put. What I'd like to see is a company or a section of a company devoted entirely to developing and applying ideas for technologies similiar to those in various Sci-Fi shows and books etc. They can skip right past automatic doors though, I think.
In my opinion, he was in a class of people that once existed, but do so no more, or are at least rare enough to be considered extinct. By today's standards he was probably both a geek and a nerd, but the variety of his ideas and creations have been exhibited, used and cherished far more than any recent geeks or nerds who have relatively one-track 'careers' by comparison. He seemed to have an understanding of our world greater than any other person, past or present (when taking into account the technological advances we have made since the renaissance). <br>I think the best ways to get into the head of any person, is to study their work, as close to the original source as possible. If you can read their handwriting, so much the better.
Coz 1) to laugh at the poor acting, and 2) to watch that guy who plays Aniken *drools*. Even thought the whole movie was in general, crap, he made it slightly bearable...
Dr Who is only a number 8? This list, needs to be bombed and the person who wrote it needs to be tortured- the worst punishment is watching 24 hours, back-to-back episodes of the Simple Life...
Argh I don't have anyone to do it with anyway. I wonder if I can clone Commander Riker from the TV? Or maybe that cute Vulcan from engineering in Voyager?
Oh haha. Actually, you insensitive clod, I dont have an SO right now. No guys I know can tell their KDE from their GNOME, which is kinda a minimum pre-requisite for going out with me.
I wish I had $20 million! I've always wanted to go into space. I watched way too much Star Trek as a kid (as if there is such a thing as too much Star Trek) and now I'm also hooked on Star Gate (SG1 and Atlantis. McKay rocks!). Irrelevant, yes. Anyway, I can think of a lot of things to do in a zero-gravity environment!
That us uncalled for and mean. Gnome is cool, it just is less efficient than KDE in some areas. Why don't we all use windows 98 for the next decade, and then give you Gnome. See how you feel then!
Apparently I get on their nerves. I asked one of them what distro he's using. Wish I'd taken a picture.
Just for reference: I'm not an anarchist, but a lot of people think I am. I have nothing against anarchists, just any radicals, the same way that there are other radicals (*cough* bush *cough*) Recap: I'm not an anarchist, I'm just reasonably hard left.
Imagine how hard it'd be if someone used a web-browser that actually IS obscure, you know? I only know like two people that use IE. Sadly, both are relatives. One of them because he's a moron (he's used Opera, and prefers IE. I haven't spoken to him for three months.), the other because he's merely ignorant. And is stupid. He's still nuts about cars at the age of 45.
In highschools its not hard to tell who's a what (hacker, cracker, scriptkiddie). Most of them are full of it, and just want to muck around with passwords. About 3 or 4 guys in my grade are all bragging because they can get hotmail or yahoo passwords. I might also point out here that they think they are Anarchists because they read the Anarchists Cookbook. Exactly.
And people wonder why I hate people my own age!
To 'fix' this problem, we need to look at society itself. How do we create a society where kids are accepted as equals, not inferiors?
What we do is build an army of robots, and take over the Earth. Then we create a StarTrek-like society, but more practical. DOWN WITH CAPITALISM!! The intellectualy elite should run the world.
Change an easy-to-find setting, that won't make a drastic change, but will annoy him a little. Assure him that you can't change it back, and hint that you 'know' that he can change it back himself. He probably won't argue over it, because politician-types hate to admit that they don't know something.
Isn't this ironic? With the Win 98 fiasco, that only was dulled with NT and the other releases since then? Maybe m$ should just switch to linux for security reasons? Bad publicity, having your own product, complete with additional viruses?
LMAO, they almost deserve it. Even they don't, but they come damn close to it!
Anyone heard of the theory of multiple intlligences? I know it's just a theory, but it seems to be reasonably correct. I'd like to meet the test subjects as well see how the experiments were performed. If being able to drink three beers then burp loud enough to shake the foundations means your intelligent, then men are more intelligent than women. I admit there are ditzes among us (females), but there are just as many idiots among the male population (Bush and Blair, to name a couple). Okay, so no one is quite sure what gender Blair is, but I don't of know anyone who is brave enough to check that's never been on Jerry Springer.
I spose it's one of those things that either you like them or you don't care, or you feel the way I do, and think it's rubbish and can think of at least 10 things to better spend the money on.
Slashdot Mirror
Then why not have two computers, and wear a gas-mask whilst using the infected one? After getting all appropriate needles, of course.

What would be good, is a penguin fighting a borg drone, or Darth Vader... or some corporate bastard...
hmm.... I seem to recall a trilogy in four parts that wasn't too bad... Illogical at the best of times, but still not too bad...

yep... no operating system is better than windows lol

Diamonds are a girls best friend... I wonder if you can make a jewellry out of it? :D
I'm sure that Batmans new armour will be made from it
Some words were never meant to be melded. Some are just plain amusing, while others are descriptive of their creators (Microsoft anybody?).

Errr no... I prefer real humans. Lack of social life is probably a good thing. People my own age are morons.
