Where's the gadgets to make a sensible and readable article?
Every once and a while I get the idea that I should actually read some of the articles I'm commenting on. Then I do and it's this kinda chopped up mess with pictures that don't match the copy and reporting that just *almost* tells you something about the subject and I remember why the hell I never read this crap.
I don't aim to start a flame war (Lord knows we've got enough of them around here). But I feel just the opposite.
Every time I'm stuck in Gnome I can't find anything. In KDE it has always (with only a few hicups during the KDE4 upgrade) been very intuitive.
Obviously you have the opposite experience; 'm just saying it's a personal thing.
yer kidding? My co-worker dropped a brand new Razor (provided by work, that he had to later pay for) on a table from about 2 foot height and the flip portion came completely off the POS. They bought us a whole round of Razors at work and at least half of them fell apart on us.
I had an old just-a-phone get ran over by a loaded 18-wheeler. I had laid it down on the tire when I climbed the side to check the load and forgot it. It cracked the screen, but still made calls.
I'm just backwards to you. I have a Kindle and it works really good for straight forward reading - like you'd have in a novel. But for non-fiction where you might wanna flip back and forth or re-read a section to make sure you got it all, it's just not the same as the dead-tree version.
Into the future I'm getting all my non-fiction in paper and my novels on my kindle.
While I agree that trying inhabit the New Orleans area is rather stupid, this ruling was pretty specific about this particular canal's design and maintenance. Apparently residents and city officials have been complaining about this thing since a 1965 hurricane that did a miniature version of what Katerina did and have been begging the Corp to change the canal to prevent exactly what happened.
That's what I got from some extensive radio news coverage yesterday.
No it's not a right. It's a guarantee. "If you pay this contractor, we guarantee this contractor will provide this minimal service."
If it were a right, then you would have a right to these people (the contractors) work, that's called slavery.
It's the same thing with this so-called right to healthcare here in the states. You might have a right not to be denied service because of your skin color or country of birth but you do not have a "right" to the efforts of other individuals.
Yeah, but maybe somebody will fix the damn bug where my picture disappears when I expand a video chat.
Or the KDE guys could make it mesh so I don't have to disable desktop effects
Or there's the bug that about 1 out of 4 times when I expand the video chat window, the actual image of the other caller stays the same..
Yeah, the skype people could fix this. But they haven't for a long time and frankly I've got more faith in the FOSS community. They fix everything else that's wrong with my computer pretty quickly.
Same reason the state legislature appoints members to the school board. The 12 schools of the SEC are all different but many of them qualify as "state schools" mine and at least 3 others are land grant schools. For the record, I don't really agree with most of that setup, but that's the way it is.
It's not their place of business. It's my school. The stadium was built (partially) with my tax money and the school runs (partially) because of my tuition and the reason these games are money makers is because I and my buddies want to come to the games and watch them on TV.
I don't think this phenomenon of the gore melting out of mind has anything to do with the gore. It's a natural function of playing a game. You can play a "pretty game" (The one that comes to mind is that flat mario brothers game). After an hour even the prettiness melts away and you are just focused on the gameplay.

Yeah, except for the constant dinging as all my friends log on and off.
It's not you.
I have noticed the same thing.
Exactly. At the bottom of it all a movie is just a medium to tell a story and the 3D B.S. does nothing to enhance that.

Do they really think tweeter can get any harder to read?
Atlanta's been like this for years.
You can get paper or cd (with pdfs) by request but the default is to use the 'net.
yer kidding?

Yeah, it was pretty. It just didn't *ADD* a damn thing to the lame ass story.
You must be watching the NFL
If you'll watch my college team in their bowl game you'll see it's very much DISorganized medieval warfare ...
Exactly. When I look up a news story on Google, I don't give a damn who is reporting on it as long as it's not the onion or something site.
If any of these news papers opt out of Google, we'll all be opting out too. I'll just go to whatever newservice is still there on google.

So all those SciFi (SyFy?) stories about reaching new worlds through thunderstorms were actually on to something?
Yeah, but maybe somebody will fix the damn bug where my picture disappears when I expand a video chat.

Wouldn't it be easier just to stick the little fish in your ear?
then you wouldn't have to read anything.

Have you *seen* the people that come to football games?
I don't want these folks flashing anybody.

I thought the "Met's finest" was talking about the baseball team. As a Braves fan I was thinking "How can I help out our season here..."
Are these triggered lighting strikes not going to come straight back to the laser machine and, ergo, the people standing there running it?
It's already past the 4th of February, what's your point?
