It also bothers me when people use abbreviations I've never heard of. It took me for ever to figure out what IANAL stood for (for those who still don't know, "I Am Not A Lawyer").
Well, you need to STFG whenever you don't know what an abbreviation mean
And this is a direct consequence of Gentoo's great community, which is perhaps its greatest strength. I for one use Ubuntu nowadays, but I still find it most efficient to google for "gentoo howto dosomestuff" whenever I want to do some linux generic stuff. This query just gives you the best answers.
China destroying our (US) economy would be shooting themselves in the foot with a bazooka. "We" buy an enormous amount of Chinese goods. Exactly. It would be like Columbia drug dealers destroying Hollywood. It's not business-wise to do so.
I shall proceed to make sure that Microsoft is held to that standard by appropriate legal means. I have done that before successfully as to Best Buy, and I shall do so again This is very similar with:
I'm going to fucking bury that guy, I have done it before , and I will do it again . I'm going to fucking kill Google Don't know if Thompson throws chairs to make a point though
"Griffin"? "Puma"? Sounds like someone has a taste for mythological animals. Or someone watched too much Family Guy.
Buy AMD laptops! How dare you disobey me? You will bow to me!
how to cold-reset the wonder Linux-router, which promptly fixed the problem -- 6 hours after the first phone call to Linksys Aha! So "Sir, please restart your computer and try again" is a real pertinent advice to get from tech support. I knew it! To all the people who have tech support jobs: please give this advice more often. It just works! /me ducks
If it was that easy then most of the servers on the Internet would have been broken into by now, where the vast majority are Linux and Windows is a dwindling minority. No man, over 67% of Internet servers are running Windows. The rest run a dead OS because Linus has a job.
I wonder how this FUD campaign copes with MS problems in Europe.
How can MS claim in EU that they support interoperability while in US they threaten free software for basically being interoperable with their products? How can openoffice be compatible with word without using the "doc" format? You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Bill,
Stop spreading FUD. It's not efficient. Why do you insist? From the halloween documents days, you acknowledged that FUD tactics can't stop open source. Why do you insist in making a fool out of yourself in the eyes of every decent person? You're worse than a politician.
Second
How did you come up with "67 percent of the world's servers run windows"? Bill, that environment of 2 windows servers and 1 linux box you play with at Microsoft doesn't make up for the whole world.
Third:
When I talk to open source developers, at least half are talking about Windows, from SugarCRM, MySQL, PHP. Every single one,"
Half of them or every single one? Make up your mind. Again, those 3,4 open source programmers don't make up for the whole community.
Fourth:
Patents man. You forgot to mention that you are truly worried that Linux users break microsoft's intelectual property. You made upper management unhappy here. Would you like a cut of 10% from your next salary or a chair?
So everyone needs to stop putting companies -- particular Apple and Google -- on a pedestal and realize that your relationship with them as a consumer should be if you like their products, use them, if not, go elsewhere. You must be new here
Have they pumped any money in that open source project called openssh? It appears to me that the OpenBSD team has created "free intellectual property only to have others, Sun included, scoop it up and generate huge amounts of revenue". Sponsoring openssh is a good test to see if they really mean it or are talking rubbish.
My point was not that he(or He?) gave himself this law. The point is that from a rational and objective perspective it's absurd that a man's life can be ruined just because he made fun of another man. But if this is what the majority there wants, fine. It would be funny if it wouldn't be sad that a man has to live for 15 years among criminals and rapers just because he drew a mustache on a King's painting. Or for getting Lassie from the torrents, according to our friends from the *AA, to give a western example. ABSURD
There's a deep reverence for the King here which arises from all that he has done. He has done so much for the people, that he deserves to have a law to throw me in jail just because I made fun of The King, right? I live in Romania, a country which was thrown in a communist dictatorship for almost 50 years. Given the number of people who were imprisoned, beaten or tortured just because they didn't agree with the Great Ceausescu and his criminal communist regime, it f*cking makes me sick when ordinary people have absolute power to crush anyone who don't agree with them.
Back hen this project was discussed by the romanian politicians, they dismissed it because, they said, "what is this toy. It can't even run Word!". Of course, I said "as usual, these politicians just want to show us how stupid they are." Looks like they knew something and I was wrong:)
Our professional athletes, scientists and Engineers produce far fewer children than those at the bottom of our social order. For the sake of our species, I would advise you all (Creationists and Evolutionist) to pray (To Jesus or Darwin) that human intelligence is not seriously impacted by our genetic makeup Mike Judge (the director of Office Space and Beavis & Butthead) has a very funny perspective regarding this in Idiocracy
Did you get that memo about the new TPS report cover letter? Yeah. It's just that we're putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports *before* they go out now. So if you could just remember to do that from now on, that'd be great. All right!
Humor aside, there's more than "God created humans to worship God"? I don't know for sure why God *needed* humankind, but I think that He did it as His masterpiece. Perhaps He thought that nature was too boring and decided to create a being with free will, inteligence and all the great features that make humans more than animals. He also gave this creature the possibility to be immortal. In exchange, He needs to be *praised*, acknoledged as a Creator by His creatures. Just think about it: will you like to live around people who apreciate the good you did to them or people who despise and curse you? And second, if the latter don't believe in your existence for some reason and it's their will not to live with you, will you force them to stick with you? Don't you expect from your kids to love you and respect you? We can praise Linus for his kernel, Lennon for his music etc, but it's unacceptable to praise God? Oh yeah, I must be new here:)
A God who didn't want anybody in heaven unless they had the spunk to spit in His eye would make more sense. Well, an angel tried to do that. He got relegated as "the prince of this world", got a rebel reputation, has a bunch of cool nicknames that you can use on WoW (Satan, Belzebut, Lucifer etc) rules a horde of other fallen angels, is a prosecuting attorney against mankind. That's pretty *good*, isn't it?
I agree with your point that some people refuse to see things which contradicts their stances. You have scientific evidence that the Earth is not 7000 years old, but you also have miracles, weeping sculptures and so on. Personally, I think that you don't need to see God on T.V. for Him to exist. Anyway, here's a funny read related to what you said.
