Simple is good, just don't piss me off, I'm wearing $15,000 worth of hybrid composite armor that can stop tank shells in such a way that I won't spill whatever I'm drinking at the time, and I really hope nobody forces me to shoot up random public places in anger.
My psychologist says nobody would make me do that though...
This is par for the course though, all this hoo-haw about disabling GPS here doesn't magically make the tallest building in New York look like a everything else.
"oh no, my GPS is broken, how will I tell if that building has five sides now!?"
When you buy an CPU that is rated for 2.4 GHz do you call that a "manufacturing defect, plain and simple"? After all the CPU was tested a 3.0 GHz and failed.
Point is the CPU at its rating does not operate in a manner which you see defects, it in fact pushes and mashes bits around perfectly.
LCDs with dead pixels are obviously showing you defects in its operation, and is then clearly acting imperfectly. And this is under normal perscribed usage, and theres no way to underclock the display to make it act perfectly.
Yeah, but nobody enforces that law. When was the last time you saw the police arrest someone for splashing around at a beach? Ever heard of the butterfly effect? Now imagine many butterflies lined up beating away towards a single target.
thats like saying "i didn't make him shoot his younger brother, i just gave him the gun, and then told his brother to stand there for a few seconds, and i'd give him a cookie
No cookie, you can find a gun on your own, here is a wide variety of bullets, shooting your younger brother is its own reward.
Umm, this analogy is dead Jim.

We're not talking about laws that say "don't stab your sister" or "drinking and driving are bad" or "pay for that candy bar @%$***dammit!".
We're talking about laws that say information released to the public must be kept secret in the face of ridiculous penalties.
Theres an economy of reality that a few thousand people want to pave over with some demented fantasy that says duplicating 10,000 crap songs is massively worse than stealing 10,000 cheap candy bars. If they truely manage to drag major powers into this fantasy, reality will smack the shit out of them to no good effect.
It is plain stupid, and don't complain when people start to rise against people who chase people around for sharing that which has no material value. Unless they can convert the blood of copyright infringers into gas and ammo, its totally unsustainable.
Frankly I think people on both sides need to get a f***ing life, plant some corn or do something else that is actually useful to human beings. We can't feed off of 2-D images of some magic wielding dork in a black helmet, or keep the next generation warm and dry under a roof made of mmmm-bop.
Maybe he should look at a tool like 'dselect' under Debian.
You're marked funny because you suggest someone look at dselect. Unless its been rewritten or something, its a nightmarish program that no sane being should touch.
People can run their own trackers on Azureus or any other BT client that has a built-in tracker.
True
The only thing that is central is the index,
Uhh, BitTorrent defines peers, trackers (the central part), and metadata files.
Indexing sites and metadata files mean nothing if the specified tracker(s) are down.
and if these get distributed over eMule Kad, Gnutella, Freenet, or any other highly-decentralized file sharing protocol, then the copyright industry trade groups can't touch them.
And dead torrent metafiles will not expire, leaving a mess much like those P2P apps are in now, gigatons of crap files littering the search...
The only thing that needs to be centralized in those networks is the initial node references, and because these networks also have substantial non-infringing uses (MGM v. Grokster), the copyright industry trade groups can't have the FBI shut them down.
Nice dancing, does this mean that a torrent tracker taken down will suddenly not adversely effect the lifetime of the torrents solely tracked by it?

the government should have the means to remotely deactivate all civilian held "smart guns" in the event of a "national emergency.
Oh, the sheer intelligence of it.
"shit, we're being invaded by [hostile country]."
"uh oh, we'd better remove our citizen's ability to defend themselves then!"

don't you realize that you are indirectly costing everyone else more money?
As long as he didn't vote for Mr. Shock and Awe, I'd say he did his part.
Dual core GPUs sound kinda silly actually. 3-D rendering is usually quite happy with just having more pixel pipelines on the same chip.
LILO sounds better for that...
IMHO
Crap, I could deduct a whole computer with that line of thinking!

You need a new analogy.
Your tax dollars given to hippie roboticists.
If theres that much of that there, and you've been looking at it, you've been extending it's cache time.
If you want it to have respectable content, use it to browse respectable content. (and inject respectable content if you can)
Why hasnt FireFox automatically updated Java for me?
Because I'd f***ing kick their arses if they rooted my system to perform unauthorized software changes on my system. Thats why.
If FireFox automatically stopped using vulnerable JVMs, that'd be fine though.

I'm sorry.
Gas, ammo, and donuts.

Dude check it out!
Timecop on DVD, three copies for 18 bucks.
Why the hell would you want three copies of the same movie?
Because one copy is $9.98, but this way you save like 20 bucks!
You only need one copy ar-tard.
Okay, fine dumbass, you go ahead and buy one copy for $9.98.
Okay fine I will . . . wait a minute, I don't even want one copy of Timecop.
Dude, you can't shop for crap.

I suggest aptitude or for GUI usage, synaptic.
Archive.org has an animgif version. ;-)
You might not be.
At first glance I heard myself say "yes". And I don't plan on saying "woo". But I'm sure many others have had a chance to beat you.
Except it isn't sounding as capable or as sane.
All a GUI is eye candy if theres nothing behind it.

Whoa, what kinda processor are you running on?
They NEED the paperclip, it holds the whole OS together!
At least a choice will be more likely made...
If you have that small a pad or that much a bandwidth hogging MUD, sure.

What did you think they were paid to do, pull over and beat minorities?
The moment someone makes unbeaten minorites illegal, yes.
