So did I the first time I heard it. I knew there was a trick since the person had a giant idiot grin on his face while he cited the number of fatalities caused buy it.
This is one of those tricks that idiots hear and like to repeat because it make them think they are looking clever. Have you ever know someone who memorized the answers to one or two incredibility difficult equations and kept spouting it out? My favorite are people who run their emails through a thesaurus so they can use bigger words even when they do not know what those new words mean.
I think that we can all agree that we should work together.
becomes
I deliberate that we container all enunciate that we should vocation simultaneously.
It's apple. You never buy the first generation of new or redesigned products.
That not really just apple, is it? I hear the same for windows (always wait for the 1st service pack.)
I have never owned an apple product other than an 3rd hand ipod touch that I gave to my wife.
Also, this product hasn't been out 30 days yet. Why aren't people returning it rather than bitching about it (or doing both?) That would make more of an impact than blogging.
As a proud native Californian who's travelled across the U.S. - I ask you all why you're so quick to rag on California when all of your dumb-asses are trying to move here and pollute our collective consciousness with your ass-backwards nazi conservatism and bullshit MTV-fueled spring-break pipe-dreams while driving up our property costs and fistfucking our job market, taking those jobs away from native Californians.
And Californians wonder why we don't like them. They complain when another US citizen moves in but have sanctuary cities designed to harbor non-us citizens here illegally.
It's funny all the American's are stupid jokes that are on here and people don't react but the one non-american joke gets an immediate (within an hour) reaction.
Have you filed a bug, or even a request with the development team?
Sometimes people want to find what already works. When you need a vehicle and a car you're looking at doesn't have a particular feature, do you call up the manufacturer and suggest they consider introducing it into next year's model, or the year after?
I would if I would get next years model that had that feature for free like I do with free software.
The fact that all the HTML 5 stuff that I have tried that were not provided by MS makes me wonder if these are legit.
That said, the asteroids one they linked to ran as fast as a native app in my chrome nightly build (I use the nightly build because they come in a self contained zip file which allows me to get around the no-install restrictions from my work which still uses ie6) http://www.kevs3d.co.uk/dev/asteroids/
Everything that is possibly sensational about this story (as if the spill wasn't sensational enough) will be reported.
This spill is a reporters wet dream and they will milk it for everything they can.
Did you see the "will it rain oil" stories they were running now that we started hurricane season?
It is 1:30 AM CST and I am willling to bet good money that if I go into the break room at my job, Anderson Cooper is on with more oil spill coverage. I don't think the guy reports on anything else and he seems to be all that is on for CNN at night
(Also, very few of the banks were actually "bailed out." Most were provided with a government-backed high-interest loan that they had to pay back, which many already have)
And not all of the banks wanted the loans but the government pushed it on more banks than were necessary so that the consumers would not know which banks were in need of a "bail-out." The government was worried that if we knew which banks were in need of help, we would all leave those badly run banks in favor of the banks that handled our money responsibly.
In Texas, that is actually a selling point in a number of local bank commercials "And you can rest assured that we did not accepted any government bail out money. Our customer's investments were always secure."
I thought tax breaks only hurt the poor and corporations should never be entitled to them? At least, that is what the mainstream media (and many Slashdot comments) keep telling me.
Certainly you are not suggesting that the UK should compromise its enlightened principles?
As I mentioned, I have better coverage with my private insurance (and I am a call center employee, not someone in upper management) than my mom does with her medicare.
However, there are also little facts like FedEx and UPS aren't required to run offices in every city, regardless of them being extremely small population areas where they are losing money.
Wouldn't that be considered wasteful?
I know it sucks being in a small town that only gets a ups/fedex run once or twice a week, but you learn to plan around that.
The government controls cost very well, and is less wasteful then most corporation.
Spend time reading budgets reports for both of them for a while.
The government doesn't have near the wast any large corporation has.
This is simple breech of contract, and since Oracle can't make side contracts the the CEO to look the other way, they are getting sued.
The post office was loosing money while FedEx and UPS were not. Medicare and Social Security are not money makers, either, yet the company that does my 401K and my insurance are. (And my insurance covers me better than my mom's medicare covers her. I haven't retired yet so I can't compare her social security to my 401K.)
I have noticed that would you do mention potential problems, people see you as someone that is "not on board" or "not a team player." Sometimes they even go as far as to assume you are out to sabotage their brilliant plan.
When it turns out you were correct, people opinions of you do not change and they either are upset that you predicted the problems and now want to avoid any mention of your existence or blame you for somehow causing the problems that caused their brilliant plan or reform to fail. Those people who had ignored your warnings will go back to the planning board but now without you.
I now smile and try to seem enthusiastic about any plan, no matter how unfeasible or ill-conceived it may be. And I am doing better (professionally) for that attitude.
I know this is blasphemy, but I really enjoyed House of the Dead. I got exactly what I wanted from that movie (killing zombies and not the emo-zobmies or Aesop zombies that George Romero's latest movies have been subjecting us to - diary of the dead and island of the dead come to mind.)
I am hoping that the more remote desktop usages surge, the more that our ISP will give us enough up bandwidth to make use of our computers wherever they are at.
I have a terabyte usb hard drive at home attached to my media center. Unfortunately, it is one of 4 hard drives and I did not have the foresight to only put tv shows and movies that I want and that no one else in my family would miss if I took it with me.
I went for straight arch since I had an internet connection. I read that chakra will not be compatible with arch when their final release is out and did not want to be stuck on a smaller distro.
It is definitely a different experience and chakra's live cd worked so well I was surprised at how difficult arch was to get going.
I have to read up on abs or ports to get the latest kde beta since there does not seem to be a repo for it.
I finally got network manually up and am trying to get networkmanager working so I can go back to having a secure wireless connection (I turned off wireless security and have my router only excepting specific mac addressed.)

You mean like The Zero Hour?
Of course, we aren't putting POWs on our radio for the sake of demoralization.

kde is the first thought I had. I initially hated cmake but have really grown quite fond of it.

I find it funny that such a thing as a State Rock exists!
Me too. I have heard of state flowers and birds, but never rocks.
But looking deeper, I guess my state has a state rock
http://www.enchantedlearning.com/usa/states/texas/
You can make any jokes you want that Texas' state rock is Petrified Palmwood.
And even if they do, it's pushing to expect them to know where is the other side of the world.
Down?
I have seen Canadian's get offended when you ask if they take American (US) money as if Canadian money was un-american.
Maybe you only know US American's and made an assumption?
It was a joke!
It's funny all the American's are stupid jokes that are on here and people don't react but the one non-american joke gets an immediate (within an hour) reaction.

the bulk of Firefox code is already platform- and toolkit-agnostic - for example, we already have Qt builds for Maemo 5.
Nice. Now we just need a qt firefox for my KDE desktop.
The fact that all the HTML 5 stuff that I have tried that were not provided by MS makes me wonder if these are legit.

I wonder how many sales Apple would make from this. I'd imagine an article posted in /. would bring worthy leads.
I am pretty sure anyone that checks slashdot on at least on a weekly basis already knew this phone was coming out.
I know this is blasphemy, but I really enjoyed House of the Dead. I got exactly what I wanted from that movie (killing zombies and not the emo-zobmies or Aesop zombies that George Romero's latest movies have been subjecting us to - diary of the dead and island of the dead come to mind.)

People who dont use twitter, you mean. What else would you call "the act of posting to twitter"?
I would call it "posting" just like I do when I post on a forum or facebook.
I messed up my quote tags. I was not complaining about konqueror but based on how I screwed up on the quotes tab, it sure looks like i was.
I went for straight arch since I had an internet connection. I read that chakra will not be compatible with arch when their final release is out and did not want to be stuck on a smaller distro.
It is definitely a different experience and chakra's live cd worked so well I was surprised at how difficult arch was to get going.
