How does being able to play 1080p video magically impede good UI design? If you are honestly impressed by key-repeat, and not just a trolling fanboi, then all I have to say is, "wow..."
Exactly what part of "there has been no indication' that any Afghans who have collaborated with the NATO occupation have been harmed as a result of the leaks" are you having trouble with?
This seems like a perfect example of what khasim (1285) just said in the sibling comment right above yours.
And more accurately, while this will get extremely little to no press, we'll still constantly be hearing character assassinate stories. Crap like, "I would totally be behind wikileaks but I hear Assange is a total tool", as if the only way someone can support what an organization does is if the members of the organization are saints.
These kind of comments are no less trolls/flamebaits than comments like "I'd totally use OpenBSD but Theo de Raadt is a meanie.", yet I see them modded insightful every time there's a wikileaks story.
What makes you think that somebody who remembers what gopher was would be young? What makes you think that someone who thinks that mixing content with code is a bad idea is of lower intelligence?
If these two posts were all that I were to go on, then I'd be forced to conclude that the GP is older and more intelligent than you. Your UIDs only help to reinforce my conclusion.
Why would I have any interest in playing a game that doesn't have two or three years of staying power? If the average gamer is only going to play it for a year or so then forget about it, I think I can safely ignore it entirely. I'll play at most a game a year, because I have better things to do with my time, so waiting two or so years to see what games are still considered to be good is a superb way of filtering out the crap.
Furthermore, there are easily hundreds of people still playing Q3A at any particular time. Seeing as you can only put 16 people in a match at once, I'm not really sure why more people playing at once gets you... anything. (as a bonus, there are far fewer caffeine addicted 12 year olds playing Q3A. The people that still play it play it because they love it, not because they feel the need to inform you how promiscuous your mother is.)
Another good example of this is aluminium or titanium bike frames vs steel bike frames. Because rigidity is rather important in bikes, steel frames hold their own extremely well against the more exotic materials. The weight benefits of aluminium and titanium are offset by the fact that they have to make the tubes far thicker.
The difference in the context of this discussion is meaningless. The point is there are numerous languages that compile down to bytecodes, doing so doesn't automatically make anything Java.
Working to stopping drunk driving? Noble cause. Working to stop drinking in general with bad abusive laws? Assholes.
You are letting your emotions get the better of you instead of looking at the situation rationally.
You want to avoid doing this because being emotional makes you easy to manipulate. MADD takes advantage of people like you to further their prohibitionist campaign.
MADD are assholes because they don't actually care about stopping drunk driving anymore. They care about stopping drinking. As stated by their disillusioned founder Candy Lightner, they've become neo-prohibitionists.
With a little creativity you can do any of that with command line tools. There's aspell for spelling, and regular expressions for formatting & navigating.
Vim has had real-time interactive spell-checking for a while now (:set spell), and navigation is generally where Vi editors are seen to particularly excel:)

Congratulations. You apparently have less empathy than a common thief.
I'm sure your mother is so proud.

Speaking as somebody who doesn't own a video game console, and someone who doesn't use netflix, that sounds like any awfully low bar for "awesome".
Isn't being able to hold down a key and scroll continuously pretty much a universally standard UI feature? Hell, even xterm does it...

Yup, a golfcart that easily out-preforms whatever clunker you have sitting in your garage right now.

tl;td;dr (too long, too drunk, didn't read)
your point is invalid.

Ahh, that explains it ;D
Is that you James Lee? I thought the police shot you when you did that thing at the discovery channel.

Protip: A shitton of slashdotters don't live in the US. In fact, the vast majority of the world doesn't.
*checks process list*
Nope. Nothing. Maybe you, or your distro, just suck?
Or maybe you're just a troll.
There is a very big difference between "job expecting you to have excellent work ethic", and what rumour has Apple requires.
I think we've all heard our fair share of 80+ hour work-week stories about apple, there's no reason to be purposely dense.
Well the general idea has certainly been around since at least 1960...

LLVM has bytecode too. Completely different bytecode than Java. I suppose that's just java in disguise too though huh?
Playing with vocabulary doesn't nullify the point of the saying.
The word for what you are describing is "refinement", not "reinvention".
Yes.....?
I'm not sure how exactly you are reading into that quotation, but it sure seems to back up my statement pretty damned well.

Truly a cunning retort.

Duly noted.
