I sortof agree with you. One thing I don't like about the current stats of linux is what runs off of x.org. as you know, x.org is for all unix operating systems that it can be compiled for, so the same ubuntu themed desktop can run just fine on freebsd, by building from source.
These days people are arguing over what distro is better because it uses kde or gnome or uses an easy frontend for this or that. I think it's dumb.
maybe i'm just some old classic copylefter, but people seem to forget about the gnu part of linux distributions. these days it's "with distro is better". People assume I have linux on my laptop, but i have to take time and show them that i'm running fluxbox on openbsd, not linux.
well what does this have to do with the parent? i guess i'm saying that somehow directly linking the desktop to linux might help out and show people that even if they are using their special distribution for themselves, that no matter what it all comes down to the fact that they are running linux.
on a side note, i don't think linux will "make it" until hardware providers really start helping out with giving source code for driver development. also, no matter how easy of a distribution you have, some people have to pull up the terminal at one point to fix a problem. this scares people away. many many many windows users have never run cmd.exe and will call up some tech support guy if they do have to run some command line apps. when it comes to linux, i am a slackware user, so that sorta shows im a friend of building from source, and doing command line work. I just hope we can fix this link that seems to be breaking apart with linux users, and the state of mind of seeing linux as a desktop os.
I pity such a person because they truly have no cause for hope or any reason to acknowledge their own significance because they possess no basis for such things given there is no source of meaning in their worldview.
I dunno, I pity people who lack self-esteem who need to find their supernatural purpose in order to live their life. Once you find out where other natural species' purposes are in the bible, let me know. NEWS FLASH! Other living things have "consciousness" as well.
um. last time i checked, muscles are controlled via electrical signals. from the brain. not from an automatic condition or signal from an invisible superman. People who lack or lose muscular support can NOW get artificial support, which interacts with the brain. yeah.
Why are you trying to link ancient text to current scientific studies? You mind as well claim that our brains are not just a muscle, but a little spirit capsule made out of either fire, water, wind, or earth.
News flash: our brains aren't muscles! they are neural tissue linking many, many neurons together, carrying essentially electricity!
Though if you are really serious about this crazy idea, the next time you talk to your super man, tell him to give us humans a break with his sadistic humour. if he really insists on picking and choosing a single person's fate based on how he feels that day, tell him to go create another 6 millennium old universe to piss on. and give women a more important purpose than serving men. and if he drinks to much and floods the planet with his own piss, don't flush the toilet, we want some decent evidence to support his bullshit claims. 'nuff god ranting for tonight.
awww. don't be such a llama. we want the shell script that automates the attack, not a solution to fix the problem. silly alpaca...this is slashdot. erm.:-P
I've never registered through GoDaddy; though i do vividly remember the superbowl commercial. That girl having her shirt falling off and yelling out Go Daddy! heh I swear i thought it was some subliminal "ai papi" message or something. Good times.
I also wanted to note that the magical tree was the tree of knowledge, of all things. Whenever I hear someone telling me how I should think, and that I should be bowing to a magic man, I thank Eve for eating from that tree of knowledge.:-P
I myself am no critical analyzer of standards, but the fact that the standard will still have a microsoft copyright on it is enough for me to say no. If, let's say, it was adobe instead of microsoft (and isn't pdf, for there are opensource implementations of pdf), I would still have the same viewpoint.
Standards shouldn't have disclosed code in, which is why I believe if something like a document format is standardized, the source code should be open to all.
If I am wrong about OOXML in that way, someone correct me.
What the hell?/. has become free advertising when it is related to the article?
I'm not sure I'd run out and get some of nawcom's golden shit logs thats ONLY 4 inches just yet (albeit with an additional 4 inches to spare) The 8 inch log is available now (see shitforsale.com for the link). Also a version thats made out of stainless steel but the same overall form factor should be out in a few months.
Aww... come on, it's related to the article right?
Aren't people gonna want to install the office 07 suite on that thing? I mean, when i make vmware images for xp, the minimum is 8-10 gigs. isn't microsoft works... no... i'm gonna stay away from the microsoft bashing.. I just see people wanting more standard performance out of it than it can really do. We shall see who lasts the longest before their Eee complains about low disk space. I guess if they want to use it as a web browser and email reader, they would have to use a few gigs to get outlook on there. only communists use mozilla anything. nutscrape. yeah.
I can use as much info that you used, and say you are wrong, because, um, XM radios suck.
Seriously, unsupported opinions make you look like a bitch in real life. How are XM radios "better?" I've had both. They are the same damn design internally. sexy buttons don't make a difference.
As far as I know, you will be able to use either radio to receive the combined channels. this isn't gonna be the same as having HD-DVD vs Bluray players. They will probably stop manufacturing XM radios, but current xm radios will recieve the same as sirius radios.
I can't believe people look at this as a monopoly. I always ask people who state their opinion against the merge, "So which satellite radio service to you use?" "Oh, I'm not gonna pay for radio."
That shows you that most people don't know what a monopoly is. As long as you don't depend on satellite radio, your opinion doesn't matter. Listen to your free radio. That given, it shows that the 2 companies merging will not effect anyone who needs to have their radio.
Now what about Chevron-Texaco? People depend on gasoline in order to live (transportation) and I've only seen price go up. There are obviously other factors that play a role in gas costs; but when you look at that from a simple thinker's viewpoint, it shows that companies are merging all the time.
My opinion is also, that the NAB got so involved in stopping the merger because they don't want to deal with competition with satellite radio as a whole; they were happy that the 2 companies were fighting over subscribers in order to survive financially. Now they might actually have to compete with an alternative service.
I was a wee little shitling when cable television came into play, but I thought I heard something similar to this may had come up. Someone correct me if I got my facts wrong.
I know one of the major reasons they want to merge is to help take care of the billions they have loaned i n order to get this service up and running, and at the same time lower the cost-per-month for subscribers.
It's fart-man's home location in our solar system.
So -
a) there is life on the damn moon.
b) The race that fart-man originates from are a cave dwelling race. Heat from inside the moon is generated by the enormous volume of methane extracted from the asses of the cave dwelling race, hence the temperatures differ greatly compared to outside. Internal dynamics can be possible, due to the chance of the sound waves coming from the fart-man race, collectively, being amplified because of the acoustics set up inside the caverns of that ass-of-moon. This is the actual origin of the moon that revolves around the earth being referred to as "green cheese."
IMHO, that was a dumb question to ask. don't you ever read wikipedia, or are you one of those fundies who refer to a 2 millennium old collection of books with hogwash written in it from cover to cover? geez. go have a gas believing what you please.
(honestly, I am just bored so i felt like writing BS. I understand if my/.karma deserves a beating...)
For some reason this reminds me of walking into a Starbucks and asking for a cup of coffee. I don't care about choices, levels, integration. I just want a motherfucking cup of coffee!! dammit!!! If this was supposed to oogle the eyes of unix programmers, it just pushed me further away. I'll use my unix languages and cross-compatible frontends like wx or Qt if I need to have it run on Windows, thank you.
Mac OS X from the command line is Darwin. It's pretty much like FreeBSD with some changes here and there. Instead of/dev/ad0s1, it's/dev/disk0s1.
Instead of kernel modules (kldload, kldstat, etc) they're kernel extensions (kextload, kextstat, etc.) a lot of frontends for Mac OS X run via backends, like hdiutil, disktool, etc. So if you love command lines, and especially if you are a freebsd fan, you'll like Mac OS X. I can't think of a unix gpl program that can't compile on it.
So pretty much you get the useful, easy, stable frontend that a ton of major software runs off of, and at the same time you have Darwin running in the back.
I personally either run Linux (nawcom is a Bob follower, so Slackware), FreeBSD, and Mac OS X on one machine. (no, they aren't Apple branded computers.) Unfortunately I have to have Windows on one of my computers so I can play just-released games, but hopefully more publishers and developers will integrate Cider so we can at least run those games on Mac OS X, and it would give it a better chance to run smoothly via wine on Linux.
you don't have to worry about who is gonna sleep on the wet spot that night. Though I didn't look from a female perspective; it actually might be frustrating to them.
The one thing I find interesting is that your statement in the second paragraph is somewhat hypocritical of your first - believing in something that can't be proven due to its absence and stating that following the stars, something all major religions including Christianity *cough*3 magi*cough* believes in, is foolish.
The last time I spoke to an agnostic person, he said that there is obvious skepticism in all judeo-christian religions, which are and have been patriarchal. The reason he defines himself as an agnostic - aka a skeptic of religion, and not an atheist, is so he is not as hated by his workers, and the community. He doesn't want to lose his job from the school board - and that's just sad. "In God We Trust."
Gahh.. now that Lovin' Spoonful song "Do you Believe in Magic?" is stuck in my head. Oh wells.
i feel like i'm defending this guy, so just as a note, i look at this at the same viewpoint as most of the commenters here. I rtfa, and according to the creator the olympics game even had some of the sound files, and other resources that he designed packed into the swf - even though their version doesn't use it, or use replacement resources, hence they obviously decompiled it and changed it to what they saw fit - without getting rid of the originals.
Unfortunately, if my assumption is true, since this is hosted in china there's not much the author can do. Eric Baumer has stolen more shit then this cinese olympic site, and as far as i know, hundreds of flash developers never got their money's worth from him, so the owner of snowday is outah luck too.
