Not sure if you're being serious or not, but if you are, my first thought on reading your response was "I'll bet this is a 2.6million UID". And sure enough, it is. What's with all the recent 2.6million UIDs that seem to contain the same cookie-cutter response??
Absolutely agree, and I was about to post a similar response. For the past 30-40 years or so, men have been vilified and demonized by a large segment of the female population. And men have started to adjust to it (see 'Marriage Strike'). It's very telling that the GP sees sex as the most important tool in their arsenal, and when you remove the need for it, then men have no interest in women. I think that comes from the attitudes of many women today. They've done so much to turn men away from them, that the only remaining reason for association is sex. And when you take that away too, then yes, men simply don't see the need for a woman. Maybe this is only a symptom of a larger problem; the rampant misandry in our society.
Because the male is always wrong in current society; didn't you get the memo? Of course this pervasive attitude couldn't possibly be related to why many men consider women (and relationships) not worth the effort, could it??
What are you talking about with Vistual Basic?? The GP is correct. Most BASIC implementations from that timeframe were developed and licensed from Microsoft. Boot up a Commodore 128 and it even shows the MS copyright. In fact, there's a humourous story about Commodore/Jack Tramiel getting Microsoft Basic without any per-computer licensing fees, and as such being the only person who ever outmaneuvered Bill Gates in a business deal.
You make a good point as to why you (or anyone else really) wouldn't want to receive stuff from this IP. But from the POV of the ISP, it's irrelevant. You can't request to completely kill all communication at the source, unless the ISP contains some sort of per-user blacklist (ie, it blocks it for only you, and nobody else). And I seriously doubt that many ISPs would do that. And if they do, they're cutting off access to everyone that might want to go to that IP. Not to mention that the IP could be dynamic, in which case someone else could get it later, and then (probably never) find out it's been blocked by some ISP.
The real solution has already been mentioned; you have to block it client-side (ie, on your own computer) with an email filter, localhost DNS entry, etc. There's no point arguing otherwise. In fact, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want any user having the power to call an ISP and unilaterally block an IP for everyone. That's just a DOS waiting to happen.
You're speaking of why a 64-bit system isn't needed at all, not why you wouldn't use a 64-bit browser. If someone is using a 64-bit system and has a valid need to do so, then one or two remaining 32-bit apps will indeed use more RAM for the 32-bit libs that are completely redundant save for the few apps that use them. Basically, if I have 1000 64-bit apps installed in a 64-bit system, it seems silly to keep 32-bit libraries around for one or two apps. Better to get rid of them as soon as a 64-bit version is available.
Now if you want to argue that (as you say) a 64-bit system isn't needed, that's really a separate discussion, and not one you can make without knowing the specific requirements of the user.
If you have some RAM to spare, consider moving the cache to a RAM disk instead. This will save the SSD, and is even a good thing to do if you're using a hard drive.
On a pure 64-bit system, the memory you'll save by not having 32-bit libs loaded will eclipse any extra memory used because of longer pointers in 64-bit mode. As well, there's something annoying about having an *almost* fully 64-bit system with one or two apps holding it back. Perhaps it's an OCD thing or something:)
This is true for Canada as well. Sales tax for the appropriate province is applied at checkout, and everything seems to work out fine. And it still ends up being way cheaper to order from Amazon (and I say this from a province with a 13% sales tax).
Strictly from my POV as one of the maintainers of the one of the emulators (Stella), this person asked for permission to release a port of Stella, but without releasing the changes under the GPLv2. Of course we said that was against the license, and he responded that he would figure out another alternative instead. Then a little later, the software was ported and source code not provided. It's almost as if he asked permission, and then when the answer wasn't what he wanted, he went ahead and did it anyway.
I suspect this happened for a number of other emulation projects too, and enough of the emulation authors (rightfully) complained and had them removed. The weird thing about it is if he'd just followed the licenses, the software would still be in the app store. I don't think most authors were concerned about another port, just that he was unjustifiably making profit from it.
It means exactly what I think it means. It can be used for when the vehicle is stationary, to indicate that the vehicle might impede oncoming traffic. Or (in my country at least), it can be used while driving to indicate an emergency, and that other vehicles should attempt to give right of way.
No, I think that we can always assume they are jerks, and rude, pushy jerks at that. If it's a legitimate emergency, use your emergency flashers, in which case other drivers are legally obligated to give right of way. Otherwise, the whole world doesn't revolve around your pressing need to get to the coffee shop 2 minutes faster than you normally would.
Right, pull out the jealousy card as soon as someone sees a problem with this recruitment. The only possible reason one could have for disagreeing is that they're jealous they don't have the job themselves.
I don't demonize all (or even most) businesses who seek out the best. What I do object to is the organized cesspool of crime that is the finance industry. They are directly responsible for the current economic conditions (a recession that could lead to a depression). They produce nothing of value, and now want to leech away the best and brightest so they can make billions more. These filthy rich will do everything they can to amass more wealth, even as society crumbles around them. It doesn't matter to them, they have a huge buffer zone, and can just up and move out of a country after it's been screwed up enough.
And before you mention again that it's just sour grapes, note that I don't live in the US and haven't really been adversely affected by current economic conditions. Its just really boils my blood that people that could be making real improvements in this world are being sequestered into amassing wealth for the top 1% elite. Pure, unadulterated, unrestricted capitalism at work no doubt, but destructive just the same.
It can be turned off with 'opera:config'. Search for the keyword 'gesture' on that page, and turn off the applicable checkbox. Note that simply turning off the gesture UI won't fix the lag that this new release has wrt mouse gestures. There's a lengthy list of complaints and reports in the Opera forums that mouse gestures don't work as well as they did i previous releases. Some people (myself included) have even had their posts deleted because these complaints were deemed, and I quote: "off-topic". Personally, I'm sticking with 10.63 until this issue is fixed.
What are you talking about? Is this a joke that I'm missing?? The GP is talking about 512MB being a fair size chunk out of the possible address space of 4GB (ie, 32-bit address space). It has nothing to do with networking.
Agreed, I'd like to port Stella (cross-platform Atari 2600 emulator) as well. And since I'm the sole maintainer and have OSX programming experience, I could do the port very quickly. But no Stella for iPad unless/until Apple comes to their senses wrt 'emulated code'.
Of course, now that OpenOffice is finally becoming a contender in mindshare (as well as technically), they go and change the name, and potentially lose all brand recognition.

Well of course if you dance, you're getting more enjoyment from the music. And if you enjoy it more, you should pay more.

Get a Broadcom Crystal HD mini-PCI card and install in the AppleTV (1). It can do 720p easily, and even 1080p in some cases.

Except cross-platform compatibility, and not being controlled by a proprietary vendor.

Have him send me an email about Stella; perhaps I can help getting it working (note that I develop and maintain Stella in Kubuntu Linux).
No, but if you want that, you can get an Apple Cinema 27" for roughly the same price (with basically the same specs as the U2711).

Check the GP posting history. In almost every reply he makes, he's calling someone an idiot. He strikes me as a very angry little man.
