Linux is like a religion for people who really ought to be putting their intelligence to better use than a religion. Stop wasting time thinking of ways to get your neighbours to accept Linux as their personal saviour from malware, and start teaching yourself C++ and get to work improving things.
A chess analogy is appropriate here. Who'd want chess to be completely rewritten every month? Nobody. People like the predictability because it allows the skills they've built up to remain useful. We bitch about annual Madden and FIFA clones, but to a lot of people, that's their chess, and they don't need somebody fucking with their chess.
There are chess players and there are board game enthusiasts. Madden whores are the chess players. Gamer nerds who like lots of different games and pine for originality are board game enthusiasts.
Adding to your list, I personally thought that the IDE itself was amazingly good. I've only used it once, back when it was Macromedia FlashMX, as opposed to Adobe Flash Professional. The learning curve is about as steep as Kansas. I was making basic cartoons within hours. And the tween concept was so intuitive that I can still remember exactly how it worked even after probably more than two years without seeing it.
Flash's absolute hugest problem though is its potential for abuse. Well, I suppose it's not really 'potential' any more. It's REAL. Flashblock for Firefox is an absolute must-have, unless you like being surprised by buzzing mosquitoes and crazy frogs in flash ads. And am I right in thinking that Last Measure used some flash?
Good day for this story. somethingawful has a great article about this today. Quoth the website:
Section Two: Arranging my Funeral When my body is prepared to my satisfaction, gather my people around it to weep and mourn and say their farewells. In the unlikely event that by the time of my death I have not become the leader of a people, please find those who love me best.
Seriously, she was on the cover of every other stupid gossip magazine I saw in Brazil. Half the time she looked drunk or stoned or something, possibly her natural look.
Yet I have no fucking idea what she does. Every description of her calls her a "media starlet" or something similarly vague. Seems like she's one of these annoying people who've gained fame and fortune out of a series of random opportunities resulting exclusively from good looks.
So now this woman, who seems to take every chance she gets to throw her face at the Brazilian public, has gone a bit further than she'd like. So, does she accept the consequences of her stupid mistake and try to grow from it? No! That's for ordinary people! Apparently she's important enough to have access blocked entirely to one of the most popular websites.
And Brazilians will continue to buy those shitty magazines with her face on them, paying for a chance to bask in this serene modesty of hers.
(Okay! Seething anger vented for today. Thank you Miss Cicarelli!)
For fuck's sake, this is not a Windows/Linux article. Please at least read the first sentence of the posted article in future, before taking the opportunity to vent your Windows vs Linux obsession.
Now, does anyone have anything to say about the Enterprise Linux desktop?
Surely Hollywood must be starting to run out of graves to rob by now? Titanic, Pearl Harbour, 9/11, King Kong, Godzilla, Lord of the Rings... even Pixar's stuff is basically the same movie every time, just anthropomorphizing a different theme.
Trackpads are too prone to sometimes losing their centre and dragging the cursor slowly in some random direction when you let go. Touchpads are too prone to randomly going crazy and becoming completely useless for minutes at a time.
Nuh-uh! They ran a story about this back in 6 too, but back then we were still pretty bummed about jesus' death, so we didn't really celebrate it much.
It won't be a dupe, it'll be an "update". It'll tell us that 4/8/6, 5/8/6 and 6/8/6 are coming up, and it'll even link back to this story to prove that it's really not a dupe.
It seems that De Beers is the most evil bunch on the planet. Thank you for linking to that information. I plan to take every opportunity to fuck with De Beers from this day forward.
11 pages for one article? It starts at 100, and gives you no option to click through to the top ten. next-gen.biz are pageview whores, and deserve their ad-free printable version link to be published.
The crowd won't exactly be 10 feet off the ground. One guy will be 50 meters up and heading east to his job. Another will be 30 meters up and heading northeast. Another 100 meters up heading south, and so on and so on.
Once they've figured out the jetpack technology, they're going to have to get to work on some pretty clever crash prevention tech as well.

What do you say, guys? Should we pledge not to sue them in return?
No wait, that'd be really condescending.

Unfortunately, this necessity means that sites that depend heavily on flash look like crap until the user enables all the flash on them.
Hey, at least we're not spammers, right?!
Would you like some coffin with your nails?
How far along is that invention that allows me to stab someone in the face over the internet? This piece of shit is a prime test subject.

This is the good side of what JT does.
If only he'd stick to keeping kids from buying adult games, the world would have no beef with him.

Okay, you caught me. I was being a complete poser. I'm not a proper fan at all.... for shame.

I just noticed that all four zoo.pl icons appear next to your name from my account. It looks like a military decoration.

Sorry, did I say "bystanders"? I meant to say "lost customers".
