What would you do if Wal-Mart said that: 1) You must be able to identify at least 20 NASCAR drivers to enter. 2) Your mother must also be your sister to enter. 3) You must have attended at least 5 Monster Truck rallies to enter.
ALIENMOLE! Give me one of them to destroy my enemies... and my life... is yours.
And so, the skies darkened and split apart, Alienmole descending from Olympus. The Harpies following him bring a gift -- a pair of bake-a-dude ovens. Once the chains were put on, they were seared to Obsi's flesh, ever a constant reminder of who his master was.
If Apple makes its OS available to all Intel machines, I will buy a copy of OSX (I assume OSX has approximately equivalent system requirements as XP?) and tripleboot Debian/XP/OS10.
Shouldn't that be "that pushes all copy issues to the front of the queue"? I would like to hear about issues before the first bit is copied.
Well, some copy notifications could (and should) be alerted to at the start (those errors which the NTFS* driver can detect before any bits are sent, such as same filename, disk not formatted/formatted in an incompatible format, disk space low, etc), but others wouldn't be known to the OS until after the copy, such as drive errors.
Yes, I know storage is more reliable now than back in the days when we'd "never need more than 640K RAM", but disk errors can and do happen.
* I'm not sure if Vista still uses NTFS, someone enlighten me on that. I haven't had an opportunity to get a new box yet.
I'm sure cash will be made illegal within the next 50 years. You already get a very large eye of suspicion on you if you save cash up and buy a computer with cash
Really, these idiots need to tend to their own affairs
Quoted for Truth.
Louisiana's got hurricane relief to handle, they've got crime rampant in their streets (I'm talking muggings, beatnigs, lootings, that sort of thing) and other highly important issues to deal with and their well-bought legislators are writing vaguely worded laws to deal with a "problem" that in my opinion comes dead last on the priorities list for a disaster area? AND that flies in the face of the Constitution?
Do I hear the wails of thousands of rich kids crying becasue their sole source of gold got taken out, and becasue they suck so hard that they can't even farm SM Cath at LV 60 for their wares?
I do, indeed, hear those wails, begging for more Asian slaves^Wgold farmers to rise up and provide their spoilt selves with enough gold to buy all of Uprising on Dragonmaw epic mounts.
I also hear the screams and see the hair-ripping of said rich kids' parents becasue of the wailing of their immature little brats.
No, no, no, MS France didn't make a backroom deal.
What MS France did is buy a couple squads of regulars from the US Military and militarily take over France. After all, France is supposed to be a haven of freedom (libre) right?
Entering "French Military Victories" into the Firefox location bar will bring up a query "Did you mean: french military defeats"*
* I know it's an Albino BlackSheep parody. Go with the gig.
I always thought a school's jurisdiction over its students ended when school was no longer in session, and what the students do at home isn't the school's business?
OK, so if the groupthink is correct, home movies/independent films/etc have to be DRM'd.
So perhaps, the film maker could set the DRM settings something like this:
NUMBER OF PLAYS: 1000! (or some other arbitrarily high bignum)
NUMBER OF COPIES: 1000!
SCO's using marketing lingo in their legal documents?
Then again, they ARE trying to sell their 20 pounds of bullshit to the judge.
In reply to a previous poster, I got exactly what ya meant. Give their bullshit back, have them eat off the lead plates using arsenic-laced forks, and bury them in the coffin. =)

The answer's easy. Fake 404.
Asshole asshole thinks with his asshole.
The Power Rangers aren't even worthy of being Zarkon's slaves. Out with you.
Unless of course you've got Natalie Portman and hot grits on there.
Two words: Jack Thompson.

Wouldn't you be up in arms too?
Computers? In Alabama? Whodathunkit!
None, unless of course artificial insemination is used. COME ON, THIS IS /.!
128. What a nice, round number. (0x80 for those who forgot their hex)

How do I nominate this to be made into an official April Fool's Day RFC for 2007?
Well, if you did that, Windows might take a middle finger to mean this batch file: /y

Should I be worried about myself? I laughed at this. Perhaps I should go join TwoTailedFox over in the crazy chamber?

Port 666 is registered to the Doom games, if I recall correctly. I'm certain it's doom 1, but not so sure about doom 2 and 3.
