Most people whining about......environmental impact are talking about older designs, or do not realize there is a net improvement in environmental impact over the alternatives.
You know, that statement works great in the context of nuclear power too...
That's why it's best to not put forth absurd and extreme "what if" scenerios and to always apply common sense. Judgements shouldn't be made in broad sweeping generalizations.
My fire department had their trucks donated by the absurdly rich family that own's half of this town. I suspect this sort of thing isn't very common though;)
So find a nicer city. Philly isn't exactly the nicest place at times and places but it has far less shit than LA. Come to think about it, I think just about every city does.
My analogy was poor, I was not attempting to compare this to, or even bring up the topic of, abortion. I was merely trying to point out the flawed logic of "there's no reason to outlaw it because doing so won't prevent it"
My rockbox'd 5th gen ipod is the best music player I've ever had. My greatest fear is that it will die, along with any other 5th gen out there and I'll be forced to find something newer (provided they still don't have alternative firmwares for the newer ipods)
For fucks sake mods, this guy has a very fucking good point. Mod-point-martyrdom is a blatant and insincere attempt to game the system but you brainless shits fall for it every time.
Need I also remind you that slashdot doesn't have a "-1 Disagree" mod and that Troll and Flamebait are not substitutes? The absolute worst you could legitly mod his post is Offtopic.
With appologies to the mods that actually modded this guy properly.
You could just zero out the MBR to the same effect. As far as the user is concerned, the computer broke.. If they can't read their data then the disk broke too. The sutblties of the prank would be completely lost on them.
Just be a bastard. With any luck at least a few of them will get the point and stop bothering you quite so much. If they can't be civil then return the same to them.

You keep on saying this but it still isn't true.
*WOOOSH*

Because it's a demonstration meant to market a product, not be scienctific and fair.
Now this is a WOOOOOSH moment.
Text files "just work" anywhere. I think what you mean is "word processor documents".
How the FUCK is this +5 Interesting?!? It's COMPLETELY offtopic, AS HE ADMITS.
And to answer the parent's question, it's probably the video driver, try out mplayer with opengl output.
Talk about a terribly complicated way to make something simpler.

How the hell is this modded troll? Seems pretty damned insightful if you ask me. Now the GP on the other hand...
In the same way that outlawing murder doesn't stop people from killing other people perhaps.

Very good question. You could probably make the argument they engaged in unauthorized access of your computer system.
haha, I didn't even realize I still had that one open. It was the same bug but screenshotted by someone else.
tacky photos, weird fonts and poor layouts
Don't worry, they're currently hard at work on it.

and there is really no naming or numbering convention in place for the files and directories.
I think you already know the answer.

Holy shit, I've seen gradeschoolers with better grammar.
Maybe we could network them together too, we could call the network something like AirWeb or... CRAP.

Linux doesn't have short release cycles, distros do. Only some of them at that, if you want a slow release cycle install Debian stable.
