Ben Parker dies in the first comic. So does the criminal iirc. Don't get me started on Gwen Stacy et al. Almost all superhero comic books are too visually violent for a 3 yo. Read him some nice Duckberg comics with the Beagle Boys.
I have a vanity site with thousands of photos & videos. I have always just used a script + imagemagick & ffmpg to get things to a useable set of html files, but I keep hoping that there will be someting easier.
Can't f-spot make a bunch of static html galleries from a directory of photos?
If we can pare down all the fanatics and the deniers through exhaustive vociferousness, maybe we can finally have a reasonable scientific discussion on the topic.
Don't bash the scientists, bash to politicians who don't have the guts to do what they should.
Politicians don't know what they should do until the scientists tells them. If AGW is true, then if the politicians go too gung-ho, we might end up with not enough greenhouse effect and suffer another ice age. If they don't act enough, we might lose some beachfront property.
He's just repeating the ad hominem sweeping generalization that Basilbrush said: "this argument is stupid because arguer is stupid because he is a redneck because he drives a truck"
Not everyone who drives a truck is a redneck (sweeping generalization)
Not every redneck is stupid (they follow the bell curve too; sweeping generalization)
Not every argument given from a stupid man is a stupid argument (ad hominem fallacy)
Osama: Well you have to. There's way too much information to decode the movie in realtime. You get used to it. I...I don't even see the blonde, brunette, and red-head. All I see is our nefarious plots. Hey, you uh... want a drink?
When I visit my family, my mom closes the lid of my laptop and I freak out. "Why don't we just buy you a real computer?" they ask.
Forget suspend/resume. "Stop cooking my finger oils from the keyboard onto the laptop screen!" Next time she does it, leave fingerprints on every window in the house.
1. The instant anything goes wrong, you're back on the command line.
You know what I open first on a Windows machine? cmd.exe or powershell.exe CLI beats GUI for so many things, no matter what OS you're running.
2. There remains the expectation in the Linux community that ANY person using a computer should be required to have syadmin-level skills before they're allowed into the Internet.
I'm pretty sure it's more along the lines of Linux-heads wishing people used common sense and basic security practices instead of trusting any random executable sent to them via email or promising them naked pics of [popular celebrity].
3. You can't do a good user interface for users whom you hold in contempt. Many Linux developers hold ordinary people in contempt. See (2) above.
All of the rest of your comments are about GUIs, not Linux, so I'll ignore them.
its a pain in the ass to install most thing on linux, example: MAC - search google for program, download it open DMG file, drag pretty icon some where. accept spyware, malware, good to go
FTFY
Windows - search google for program, download it, double click it, accept spyware, malware, good to go.
linux - search google for program, download rpm file, download it, double click it....nothing rpm's are not for ubuntu
Only if you're a complete dumbass. Check your package manager first. If you're using ubuntu, it's probably in universe if nothing else. Never just download a random rpm/dpk unless you want a trojan a la the Windows/Mac world. If you can't find what you want via your repository, then compile from source as your second option. Right now I'm hearing you say "OMG! That's not user friendly!" But it's the same advice I give Windows and Mac users. At least if you compile from source, you can check the source code later if something hinky happens. With random executables, you're counting on being lucky.
Ensure Linux has tools to clean Windows machines. Especially remotely that does not mean reformatting the machine.
I always cringe when I "clean" a machine without wiping the drive and reinstalling the OS. You never know what gets left behind. Nuke malware ridden machines from orbit.
But if you have to clean a machine, don't do it while its own OS is running. Remote cleaning is a pipe dream, because you're relying on an infected OS to report to the remote cleaning-machine how things fare (and to not reinfect from RAM afterwards). Clone the drive, remove it, then scan offline. But wipe and reinstall if you have the means available.
Because there aren't advertisements for it.
Really. That's it. There are ads for Android, so people are drooling over Linux on phones, but there aren't any Ubuntu or RHEL TV ad spots.
Because humans have never been able to comprehend things the size of the earth. Our history is littered with "there is so much of this it does not matter what we do with it, we will never effect it" thinking.
If you or someone else had raised this idea on a previous/. article about wind turbines, ocean wave generators, geothermal, ect. you would have 5 guys responding with that exact same line.
That's okay; there's so much/. that they'd never effect it.
Your question is irrelevant since it didn't happen that way. The movie was filmed in a country that claims to be a melting pot and yet the "4 smartest ppl in the world" are a bunch of skinny white guys.
You're talking about an extremely small set. Let's reduce it further to just one: "The smartest person in the world". Now are you going to be upset if this person isn't representative of every culture?
Grr. I was needing this for Mac OS X machines. Windows updates are easy to do remotely, but FF updates on Mac (via SSH) crap out with requests to make GUI progress bars.
Slashdot Mirror
We can raise that for them. C'mon slashdotters, start eating those hotpockets!

I thought it would be a car crushing bot that you would actually ride like a horse :. it's not :
It comes with a full seat, BUT YOU'LL ONLY NEED THE EDGE!

Wings are not flat, so the solar panel would have to be shaped also; that's not going to be inexpensive.
you could make the wing a solar panel, no additional fitting costs then
But... wings are not flat. ?

Ah yes, argumentum verbosum.
Don't bash the scientists, bash to politicians who don't have the guts to do what they should.

turning down the thermostat
I believe you mean normalizing the thermostat with outside temperatures, since a lot of people are already running air conditioning in the US.

one of the many good reasons to actually pay for stuff is that there is an accountable retailer.
Yeah, like Sony.
A nice soundproofed rack will make all the difference. Bonus if you can also soundproof the room it goes into.

It chases away vermin with its ultrasonic screeching.
Insert Wilhelm Scream or sound effects for every monkey or pig found in a game.
I could finally eat StarLink Taco Bell brand taco shells without getting the squirts?
Bzzt. Encrypt separately then paste into the webmail body.

I heard it in Bill Woodson's voice from Superfriends. "Meanwhile, in a world where P = NP..."
Grr. I was needing this for Mac OS X machines. Windows updates are easy to do remotely, but FF updates on Mac (via SSH) crap out with requests to make GUI progress bars.
