True - however it's also the Apple fan girls that don't give a fuck. This kind of crap has been going on for years, yet morons still queue up a week before the latest release of a blood soaked Apple product.
Yes I am fully aware that there will be plenty of other chinese produced products that will have the same layer of entrails and ruined lives on them, and ones that I probably use - but it's the Foxconn/Apple products that we hear about time and time again.
So you don't provide any guidance in the education of your children? You let the schools do it all yourself? You can't logically educate your child regarding your own beliefs and let them decide which way they want to go?
I am a creationist, I studied Biology at University and I am still a creationist. My kids will be taught evolution, and I have taught them my beliefs. I won't force either point of view on them - at some point they will make up their own mind. But at least they will be educated regarding both point of views. I don't think, or claim, that Evolutionists are "idiots" - I don't need to resort to name calling to try and discount the other point of view.
Having a child taught something at school is not "through the backdoor" - you're aware of it, you are ultimately responsible for your child - so don't blame their school for your inability to argue your point of view.
OMG that's funny. Presumably I was modded down by some other dick that doesn't understand the LOST reference. What rocks are these people living under?
Uh programming, word processing, spreadsheets, powerpoint, 3d gfx, video processing, audio processing, probably even e-mail (I know I prefer to touch type than to hunt and peck on my desire).
But heck Angry birds beats all of those so keep going with your idea of world domination... Me, I'll keep doing all the things that allow me to pay for my phone on a desktop. When you've written an app for my desktop (or even my smartphone) on your smartphone, then let me know.
My kids went to a party at a "Computer Museum" in Smythesdale, Victoria (Australia). (Those from the Ballarat area will know how remarkable it's location is - it's a pretty small town). I wanted to stay and look at all the relics of my youth. The kids were facinated by it. It really did show that some of the old games are timeless.
Probably written by a Netbeans developer who thinks Matisse is the Bee's knees and who also thinks that a refactor fucking up all your xml files is ok.
Should have happened 30 years ago. Hopefully if there's some evidence of the inital peaceful protests being bombed/strafed then he'll go the way of Hussein etc.
Umm - what, on earth, makes you think that the US supports or has ever supported Qadhafi? You've obviously just been saying this for so long now that you simply don't bother to check who it is you're talking about before you post.
I really wanted Bluray to win because HD-DVD was from the Microsoft camp. Not that I'm anti-M$, (I'm closer to being Pro-M$ - esp. since I started developing in Netbeans - ew) I just didn't want them to win (for a change). But I've got to say this whole episode makes me think that now I wish it had gone the other way. Someone does something that DOESNT allow piracy, that allows people to have a better chance of using THEIR hardware the way they choose to, and Sony bend him over backwards and rapes him. Sony just doesn't realise that the whole "Warranty is void if jail broken" is incentive enough for most people to not tinker with such things. And for the die hard tinkerers that want to play with this stuff it's a case of a few more people using Sony's product in ways they haven't before. Big deal. But this crap is just making even the staunch Sony fans rethink their allegance...
What's "unethical" about a means to ensure that you have paid for your product?
What gets me is "Symantec Corporation" is on that list. A few people I know that have been silly enough to use Norton's have had problems (dumb problems) with their licenses if they had purchased > 1 years of license. And fixing the problem has always been a pain in the arse. How can a company that takes two years of license fees then demands money off you after 1 year be considered "ethical".
Slashdot Mirror
Even the summary says that it's not a single author - he's committing (mostly) other peoples work - big deal.
FFMPEG is currently at 26402 - so uber fail on TFA.
Pffft - now you're infected with Nortons.
Presumably it has self modifying and self replicating code - just like the summary for TFA.
I assume it has code that can modify itself and self replicate just like the summary for TFA.
Sheesh...
And you're clever because you think e (Eulers constant) == pi.
bravo...

Well - in place of having anything intelligent to say about something, post a "Haha Windows" type of "joke".

A "Reporting Database" huh.
Try "Data Warehouse"... Sounds like classic ETL to me.
Dear Microsoft,
If you were smart, you'd reinstate your Java to C# converter.
Signed,
Fed up Java dev...
As long as the receptionist is hot. Though that might cause problems with concentration and blood flow...
Do you use your phone for anything other than gaming?
Other than for making phone calls....
And e-mail
And SMS's
So other than making calls, e-mails and SMS's phones are exactly like an XBOX.
Except for the GPS...

I'm sorry, what? I wasn't listening...

As you stagger home, don't get LOST.
(a) Don't feed the trolls (b) It's /.'s lacking security and poster verification that allows crap like that to be posted over and over again.

Yeah - Japanese - They've never done anything evil...!
WTH is your point exactly? Oh and your tin hat is slipping, my satellite can see you.
