Remember, dress for the job you want, not the one you have.
This is absolute BULLSHIT! What we have now is a whole lot of people fucking around trying to impress everyone else with their fashion sense rather than actually accomplishing anything noteworthy. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who bases their decisions on the fashion sense of those around them is a sheep and deserves to be treated like one (i.e. most people).
Every department in the company in there to serve other departments and/or customers in some capacity or another. Why should the "IT Guys" have special uniforms? It's insulting!
If everyone had my attitude towards it, the law would be dropped instantly. Instead, you would rather be a goddamn sheep with a cattle-prod stuck up your ass and say, "Ya' S'ah" whenever the powers that be tell you to suck their cock!
The notion of using airplanes, and civilian airliners at that, as flying bombs was also not a possibility that was in the popular consciousness, not even as a plot element in an action movie.
I'm gonna have to call bull-shit on this one. I know for a fact, that I for one, often said (after the original Twin Towers bombin, WACO, and Oklahoma City) that one of the easiest ways for terrorists to cause massive destruction would be to hi-jack an airliner and crash it into a sky-scraper. I'm sure that I wasn't the only one saying that either. For anyone to claim that it was completely unforeseen or a surprise just shows them to be a liar or an imbecile.
We in the U.S. need to stop seeking the approval of the world and the worlds poor. Instead, we need to "Man Up" and fight for what we want and to keep what we have. Otherwise, it will be taken away. Simple as that.
For all those not directly affected, it could've been a minor annoyance. Thousands of people die all the time for all kinds of stupid reasons. Deal with it. Individuals lives just aren't that important in the grand scheme of things.
We need to immediately start a campaign to have everyone who comes up with these dip-shit ideas lined up against a wall and shot as traitors to the nation. The TSA can go fuck itself. I will absolutely REFUSE to follow these regulations. If I have to go to the bathroom, I'm going to take a goddamn piss. If they don't let me, I'm wipping my dick out and pissing on the floor. I say everyone should take this attitude. REFUSE to be herded like sheep!
Our humanity is in danger from only one thing: laziness. If, due to our own laziness we give away our free will, social intelligence and inquisitive inventive mind - then we are in trouble.
That would happen if we allow educational standards to keep slipping. It certainly could happen, but its up to us.
You cannot continue the same process and get a cow or an elephant.
Are you sure? I'd be willing to wager that over a couple of thousand generations or so, with the correct breeding practices, one could create something very Elephant or Cow-like.
In spatial mode it automatically remembers the position, size, and viewing options for every folder when you open them. That's what makes it great. I can use different viewing options for various folders depending on the content and what viewing option and size is best for the contents, and I can position it on screen in the most appropriate place for said content. Then, I can close it. Next time I open that same folder, it will be in the same position, same size, with the same viewing options as I left it. This is the way it should be. I like it. DON'T TAKE AWAY MY SPATIAL MODE!
windows just works while Linux is usually a pain in the ass to configure
Bullshit. You've obviously never had to do anything serious on either platform. If you had, you'd realize that Linux is much easier to customize and configure to the desired needs. Much easier to lock-down. Much easier to prevent virus infectiions. Much easier to install software reliably. This is all bunk spread by idiots who barely know how to wipe their own asses.
I happened to like and prefer Spatial Mode (for most things). It is easy enough to switch to browswer mode when/if needed. As long as they make this an option (that is properly tested) then I don't mind, but, I'm starting to get disconcerted with changes for changes sake.
On average, I'm sure that most cars have less than 1/2 tank of gas at any given time. Think about it. People fall into one of 3 groups:
1. Those who only put enough gas in their tank for what they can afford until pay-day ($10.00 for now) (100% of time 1/2 tank)
Group 2 is probably the majority of the people (say 60% to 80%). Group 1 probably covers 2/3 of the rest. With group 3 brining up the last 1/3 of 20 to 40% (at best).
Efficiency alone is useless. You also must consider durability and cost. If something is 99.99% efficient, costs $ 1,000,000,000.00 per kW/Hr to produce and has a lifespan of 10 years, then, it's useless. If, on the other hand, it is 25% efficient, costs $ 5.00 per kW/Hr to produce, and has a life-span of 1 year, then "IT IS WICKED USEFUL!"

Not on my platform. On yours, perhaps.

Oh wait... you're nobody.
Exactly my point dumbass. I'm nobody. And like a lot of other nobodies, we all saw this one coming. JACK-ASS!

Very insightful...
There, fixed it for myself.

And why? What's the point? Who has time for this crap? What are you hoping to accomplish by this?
...you commit a sin of arrogance in pretending to know how things work...
I like to call it "Malicious Ignorance". It is a disease that about 80% of people are afflicted with

I don't believe your argument holds any water whatsoever?

Instead of the Space Shuttle/Moon Landing/Space Program the U.S. could've had gobs more of:

A "Glitter" (si Unit, "gL") is a measure of conversion from Lumens/cm^2/s to kW/Hr. Get your facts straight!
