    You should detail that out and publish it as, "The Flavors of the Species."

    That shredded shit in a can is to tuna what cockroaches are to lobsters. Do yourself a favor a go to a decent sushi restaurant (not in a mall, strip or otherwise) and order some yellowfin sashimi and a tuna roll. THAT is how good tuna is served.

    Sorry if that came off harsh in any way other than to canned tuna, as it's not my intent to dog you personally. I just grew up on that stuff and never realized what I was missing out on and figure you're in the same boat.

    In only two ways: release of security patches and the ability to meet the requirements new applications or new versions of existing applications. But we find both of those kind of important, at least important enough to have a migration plan in place even if we don't immediately upgrade all systems across the company. I personally upgraded prior to RC1 just to guinea pig it before formal piloting and I'll be damned if I ever go back. The new Start menu sucks, which I fixed by installing Classic Shell, but I've been plenty happy with it otherwise.

  5. Re:I like the idea on Restaurant Tells Diners To Eat Everything On Their Plate · · Score: 3, Interesting

    My wife and I tried a new sushi place a couple weeks back (free plug: Amura in Lake Mary, for Central Floridians. Best sushi we've had yet.). As usual, we kept it simple and ordered a sushi and sashimi platter. Their platter had less sashimi then we're used to getting, but more rolls, and heavy rolls at that. Absolutely delicious, like to the point that we ate past the point of discomfort, and yet there were still a couple pieces of a tuna roll left. Fortunately nobody decided to shit on such a great meal by giving us crap about not eating those last two pieces that we didn't psychically determine beforehand would be too much.

    This reminds me of a thread on another site that was about a sushi chef kicking people out for not eating sushi the way that he wanted them to. Is this sort of crap common with sushi places?

    And those that do use pre-builts as-is are not likely to know anything or give a shit about BIOS, EFI, or anything else that doesn't involve opening the Facebook website or sending and receiving email.

    Well, they couldn't be "abhorrent to the nation as a whole" is there are localities that want to instate such policies. :) But if there is sufficient impetus on the part of the majority of the citizenry to suppress the minority that does wish to bring about policies that the majority find distasteful then I suppose that we would pass an amendment to the Constitution to enact a universal prohibition against such policies.

    And by rephrasing the question, you actually changed the question. Slavery is already specifically prohibited by the 13th amendment to the Constitution, so the original mention of slavery was a straw man.

    A-fucking-men. I'm really over the idea that my operating systems have to include some representative of every application family ever imagined. I just want the leanest, most feature rich, and most developer friendly operating system that they can produce, and let the developer community have a field day blowing our minds.

  10. Re:anyone vs everyone on Why Online Privacy Is Broken · · Score: 1

    That's why I keep the 'anyone' material in an offline format, typically not even on paper. Not 100% effective, as was hammered home one Monday that I decided to take as a personal day and wander through Sears while countless busybody housewives babbled incessantly to one another about shit that they regarded as scandalous all around me. I now know more about the sex lives of random strangers than I do my own. But keeping it offline is still an improvement over posting the material to the world's first global communication network. That is strictly reserved for the 'everyone' stuff.

    Good points. I guess as long as there is a possibility of any kind of harm taking place to any undefined fraction of the population then any possible activity that might theoretically be related to that harm should be strictly regulated or prohibited by the government. Thank you for showing me the light.

    "whine"

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

    I haven't seen any complaining, only a sarcastic comment regarding inappropriate usage of available skillset. This, of course, follows your post that used nonexistent quotes to insinuate that he said something that he clearly didn't, which you went on to validate using the time-tested formula of psychically knowing what the other person was really thinking even though they didn't say it.

    I don't know if you are building a body of work to submit to Fox News as a portfolio or if you are just fucking retarded, but in either case you'll do yourself a world of good in preventing future back problems by getting that retarded chip off of your shoulder.

    Fair enough, but did you notify someone after the 120 day point? That way they could fix whatever problem it was that falsely indicated that you were committing a crime, thus ensuring that the system only catches those who are putting other people at excessive risk by violating traffic laws.

    I'm guessing the truth is much closer to a situation where you were actually speeding, got caught by the camera, and are now trying to claim the moral high ground. Not an accusation, just a supposition.

    And this is different from a cop pulling the same person over how? Oh, right, the speed camera actually leaves a record of the person violating the law in the first place, whereas the cop just makes it disappear by not recording it. Not sure how race plays into this, unless all rich, powerful politicians and cops in your country are strictly made up of a single racial group.

    So your argument is that Flash would still be preferable to developers so they would keep developing with it, and Flash would work well enough to users that they would still be good with using it, but it needs to be forced out because it is older than HTML5 which contains the potential to replicate most of the functionality of Flash eventually. Gotcha.
