    Especially since they live in an ACTIVE SEISMIC ZONE. It's not like earthquakes are a new thing in Italy.

    Amazing that some folks think certain groups are exempt from certain laws...

    Amazing that some folks think that laws and lawsuits are a suitable replacement for personal accountability.

  3. He's an idiot on Twisted Metal Designer Rails Against Storytelling Games · · Score: 1

    Games without a plot are all basically Pacman, and wear out pretty quickly. If there's no sense of progression, it just becomes tedious.

    Then again, maybe he has a point. Things with an actual story don't seem to sell these days. Just look at the biggest movies of any given week.

    International Standards Organization, specifically, this is ISO9660, the definition of a cd image.

    Not knowing an answer is fine, not knowing how to find an answer is just pathetic, especially now when all the knowledge of the world is at your fingertips.

    For the record, anyone that pays $1100 for an HDMI cable should be mauled by angry weasels.

    Nonsense. Somebody who does that you want to sell them a Manglefuser Dipswitch to ensure maximum signal efficiency and (insert technobabble here) for the low low price of only $9999.99.

    Fools and money, my friend.

  9. Re:Suck it up, whiny on Ask Slashdot: Where Are the Open Source Jobs? · · Score: 1

    It's not like that 80% CHOSE windows. It's just the only thing they know.

    That's their problem. Just like it's this guy's problem he doesn't want to work within the limits placed on him, or just doesn't want to learn anything new. And your quote about good and evil is meaningless here. Software is software, it either works or doesn't, it has no agenda. Your opinion of whoever produced it is irrelevant and amounts to nothing more than fanboyism.

    Never mind the fact that this guy is complaining about not being able to find the job he wants in a shit economy, at the same time walking away from probably a pretty well-paying one.

    MS has 80% of the planet. You can either adapt and deal, or continue fighting the wind.

    Dude it's easier to find someone to move in with than someone to go out with. I started looking for a new roommate this week, got 6 replies in 1 day. I look for a date, I don't get one reply in 6 months. Maybe I should alter my strategy.

    Horseshit. Honesty can ruin you too. I've been playing at the stupid online dating thing for months and have yet to get a single interested hello or even a response. The only time being wasted is my own.

    Seriously, what the hell's a guy gotta do? Maybe I should start lying about myself.
