I wrote a perl script to do it all for me, then didnt use it for a couple months, fell hundreds of gigabytes behind, and gave up again. Now waiting for somebody to make a consumer-level WORM drive designed for constant use- 99% of my data I never change, I suspect it's true for most people (You needed all that space to install [insert product] and the files it creates are < 10MB.. what WORM options are there? I mean, other than two DVD-R drives and a robotic 200-disc changer.. right now it seems much cheaper (*factoring in Time, which as we know == money) to buy R/W drives and get a couple new ones whenever a single high-end(consumer) unit can hold half to all of what the previous drives have. (it's been working so far)
now that I've read those, I'd like to offer my counter theory: Those short sentences, the looking around, the long pauses, are all because Bush is a horrible speaker and they want people to hear more applause than speech.
Oh no! I bought a list of people who have configured their systems to allow traffic to go through it! They must not want me to do so, otherwise they might have done something like configured their systems to allow traffic to go through it!
The point is, "You can send other people's kids to Iraq, but would you send your own kids?"
Micheal Moore didnt go to Iraq himself? Guess what: He is AGAINST THE WAR. Would he send someone ELSE to do it for him? No, he used footage which already existed. He didnt send anyone to die for his purpose. The real issue about that scene isnt that Micheal Moore didnt go himself, it's that he's being a complete douche. Sortof like you.
yes, I could just decrease the font size or disable anti-aliasing.. by re-compiling everything which conveniently neglects to have that option. Thanks!
Linux fonts seem to come in two flavours: All aliased(ugly for huge fonts) and All anti-aliased(ugly and unreadable for everything except huge fonts) They also tend to be rendered in Too Fucking Huge mode a lot (not so huge that anti-aliasing doesnt look like crap, mind you, I just mean "So huge you can't possibly multitask"
I am of the opinion that linux is ugly, and fonts are the primary problem. It's hard to convince me of benifits when things look like crap. People seem not to know that when you've anti-aliased correctly, nobody knows it's there. If I see another dialog box with text that's half-transparent from over-anti-aliased text, I'll scream. I do that a lot.
you dont think use of the word "We" when it is not applicable is pompous and arogant? I guess you, maybe, dont know about what pompous and/or arogant means. You've seen videos, I've seen videos. We drew different conclusions. We then both looked to see what others were saying about it and we each read different reports which conflict with eachother. Both of us chose which to believe.
Micheal Moore _IS_ an asshole. And just what in the flying fuck are you trying to pull with "don't you have something better to do?"
Okay, here's an example: When you're standing in front of a room full of people all of which are booing you off the stage, and you dare to use the word "We" (refering to the rest of the room) when expressing your opinions, that is arrogant. Is there any other way to interpret that? Speaking your mind is okay. Speaking your mind in front of a room of people who disagree with you can even be described as taking courage. But using the word "We" when talking about your opinions, when there is clear evidence that absolutely everyone else can see which shows the word "We" really doesnt begin to apply, that's arrogant.
Err, okay, have you ever seen any of Micheal Moore's movies or appearances? Those movies which he independently created and was the center of? And those appearances which are actually him? Do you think he's just trying to keep up the image of his on-screen persona (like hip-hop?) I mean, that's a valid argument in the sense that I have no information which would prove otherwise. I mean, based entirely on what he says, he's either a pompous asshole or a liar. (I guess that would just make him an asshole)
I think I've invalidated your point on "what bearing does that have on his movies" already, but in case you need further explanation: If one personally and independently created a movie, (or Three) which were arogant and exploitive, I think I'd say that not only is the movie arogant and exploitive, but the star (being the one who single-handedly brought about the existence of the movie) is arogant and exploitive. And if you make three arogant and exploitive movies, I also consider you a pompous asshole.
Q: If I have an abortion, will I be able to get pregnant again? A: Yes, if you have an abortion, you will be able to get pregnant again without any complications.
holy crap, that's just irresponcible. I mean, it would be fine if it said "The short answer is yes", or at least "Yes, it's possible", but "without any complications"? Is this site pushing anti-abortion through evolution? That's really a horrible thing to say.
Agreed. The only problem with Micheal Moore is he's the second-worst kind of pompous asshole with no sense of reality. The first-worst kind is of course someone exactly like Micheal Moore, but expressing opinions I disagree with:) And for that there's Sean Hannity and the gang.
Look, that wasnt a troll you fucking idiot moderator. He's just an IDIOT. There is no nice way to say that, and either I can try explaining why he's an idiot to a bunch of idiots, or I can know that those who would understand such an explanation would already understand how and why this guy is an idiot. There's nothing "Troll" about it, it had to be said, and it was primarily anti-troll because now anyone who wants to call this guy an idiot just because they're assholes (as opposed to because this guy is an idiot) can see that they are not needed.

Of course they're doing alright- I mean, you know all that money they steal in those horror stories? Where do you think it goes?
shows you how much better CGI looks when out-of-focus. Why dont objects in videogames blur? (do they yet?)
You're not complaining? Well, I am. It will be a great day when motion capture is abolished forever.
better not, might accidentally tip them off to the real infringing MP3s you have.

"Ghost in the Shell: Innocence" is in Theater, thank you very much.
There is no evidence of any felonies going on. That is the ONLY point and somehow you have explicitely missed it.
Oh no! I bought a list of people who have configured their systems to allow traffic to go through it! They must not want me to do so, otherwise they might have done something like configured their systems to allow traffic to go through it!
You still lose.
stealing from people's credit cards is not "Money Laundering", and there's nothing illegal about using a proxie. YOU LOSE.

I hate moderators.
I have 3 moderator points.
"The combined total and each individual component which makes up what is often described as a 'Linux-based system'" is ugly. Happy now?
