I'm not religious at all, but I don't find it hypocritical. Anyone who bases their beliefs completely on the writings of a book is a bit crazy. Just because someone's a Christian doesn't mean they don't have their own opinions.
Give me REAL linux, that can natively run the linux port of XBMC and can run Wine, and we'll talk.
Wine would be completely useless on the Cell, as Wine Is Not an Emulator. The Win32 code runs directly on the processor, which is of course impossible on anything that is not an x86 processor.
thank you for mentioning De Blob! When I first read the article title, I thought it was a review for this game. A perfect blend of Music and Gaming if ever I've seen one.
I found myself painting all the buildings different colours just to make music =)
1) he says "You're being ripped off", not "We're being ripped off", which is a huge difference.
2) He says this after finding out the UK price, which is, of course, a rip off.
You could conceivably take this to mean that he believs 99c per track is a rip off, but the obvious thing to take from this is 79p per track in the uk is a rip off.
the fact that you're having this argument and so are so many other people on slashdot clearly makes you wrong. Because it doesn't matter what the INTENTION of the ad is, the only important thing is the message that the ad gets across to the viewer. And that message to quite a large portion of viewers is "Macs are for cool people, PCs are for dull people", as can plainly be seen by the number of people here on slashdot that see it this way.
So you can argue all you want about your interpretation of the ad, or Apple's interpretation of the ad, but the truth is that many people extend the PC and mac characters past the products themselves to the users. You can't argue with that.
errr... why bother with that mess when NetworkManager will just ask you once for the correct passphrase and then automatically connect every time you log in?
not very secure. You could try something like: question->rot13->md5sum so long as you always use the same technique it's easy to remember, and you shouldn't need to be answering it too often that it's too arduous
I usually use a secret question that refers to an "in joke" or event that happened with one other person. Then (since usually you have to answer two questions), my second question just has to be some part of my history that they don't know, and I have a secure secret question/answer that I never forget.
if Mozilla had have released Firefox 3.0 this way, you'd bet people would be complaining.
If the regular theory is that "x.0 releases are buggy, and you should wait until x.2" then there's a serious issue with your versioning system. A release should stable enough for everyone to use, not a bloody minefield
technically, the tabs above the address bar make more sense, as the address bar actually belongs as part of that tab. You change tabs, and the address changes. In a UI design, it makes sense.
Having said that, I couldn't stand it. It is possible to change though, you just have to rebuild the address bar as a new bar and put it on top of the tabs.
I've been doing a lot of work with CentOS and it has at least SSH running by default. I believe Fedora is the same. Ubuntu does well by having no services listening by default but not all linux distros are the same

I think this is simply the first step in a much more important project, which is of course to turn diamonds into tequila.

I am an Asshat, you insensitive clod!
While Skype is a cross platform IM tool, the one shortcoming I find with it is the Linux client does not support Video.
Is there a solution for cross platform video conferencing?
Who cares?
Clearly Mark Shuttleworth cares. He wants to make money off Ubuntu.
ahhh... ScummVM. Is there a single platform it does not run on?
people keep saying this, but Nintendo has not released a single Wii update which has affected the playing of pirated games for anyone.

don't forget the ability to play games from any region on your console!
but you wouldn't want to take your hovercraft overseas, it would get full of eels!
I think he's talking about the cell phone "contract", where you pay $x per month for y years and get a particular phone free.
The more you call/drive, the better phone/car you can get

You fail at reading comprehension
79p
Is that what it is? You're being ripped off.
Two things:
1) he says "You're being ripped off", not "We're being ripped off", which is a huge difference.
2) He says this after finding out the UK price, which is, of course, a rip off.

wait a second, there's a world outside the USA?

that describes a lot of the entire world.

you can pay for phones with blood now?

I've taken to using unix commands as passwords at places that force me to change my password every 28 (!) days.
ls -al | grep FOO /BAR | sort -n
du
etc. The system thinks they're secure, they won't get hit by a dictionary attack, and everyone comments on the size of my password ;)
