You know, I was going to make fun of this, but when I thought about it, I actually agree.
I usually vote conservative but McCain was no conservative. I would not vote for him because I am tired of republicans thinking they automatically get the conservative vote.
At the same time, there was no way I could call myself a conservative and vote for Obama.
That said, it is only an act of defiance if you let people know that it was an act of defiance.
And only on slashdot would someone be moronic enough to equate an inbound call center with a telemarketer
And only on slashdot would someone be moronic enough to think equating an inbound call center with a telemarketer is as bad as being a baby axe murder.
It really should be more subjective somehow...I mean, you can have someone that is severely impared on 2 drinks, and another big fella that can have 4-6 beers in a short period and be perfectly fine.
As much as.08 sucks, I'd rather have that than a cop "subjectively" deciding if I am drunk.
I don't have a reference but I can speak from experience.
Texas requires you to have an ID at all times.
I was playing basketball one night in one of the San Antonio city parks. The cops came over when we were leaving and threatened to take me in for not having an ID on me. (The funny thing is that he didn't bother my friend who was driving.)
2. I prefer TNG over TOS for a few reasons: Kirk is clearly an action-based fly by the seat of his pants type guy. Makes for a great action movie like this. But please please please don't forget we're watching Star Trek for the philosophical questions that arise as well in the star trek universe. I loved Picard because he was the opposite. He drank hot tea on a regular basis. He thought about things, and thusly, I thought about things. Remember: We're not watching star wars, we're watching star trek here...
You never saw Nemesis, did you? Picard giggles when riding dune buggies
I almost wish I hadn't commented on this story just so I could mod you up.
This post is exactly what people seem to miss in comparing the two. I almost wish that KDE could have been called something else so it could skip the comparisons - even though 4.x is the perfect evolution of KDE 3
But then, the report you are linking to is not reflective of KDE 4 (which was more or less built from scratch.)
That report has bugs from KDE 1.x and so on.
Hopefully, when KDE 3.5.x is officially no longer supported, they will just mark all bugs below version 4.0 as 'fixed in upstream.' ('Won't fix' would be more accurate, but semantics are important. I can just imagine the Slashdot article KDE closes 40000 bugs after refusing to fix them.)
That 5000 doesn't really mean what you think it does.
If there is a bug with kpacman, it goes on that list. If there is a problem with kbackgammon, it goes there. Problem with ktorrent, kopete, kcalc, koffice... you guessed it - they all go on the KDE bugzilla.
Most people base their desktop assumptions on Windows and how few tools and extras it comes with. KDE is much more massive while yet retaining modularity.
By the way, is your system going slow, change kwin to openbox in systemsettings. That is KDE 4 using the lighter window manager for it's desktop. Seems like a solution since you don't care about visuals. (It still looks great, though.)
Slashdot Mirror
If this harddrive was from the Bush administration, would we be worried about the encryption or screaming of another cover up?
These are violitle times.
Insulting or wanting our President to fail is considered by many treason.
And these are wanna be hippies.
Stargate has always been good at using cgi as background rather than relying on pretty effects to drive the viewer.
Two other good examples of this are Babylon 5 and Serenity/Firefly.
The problem isn't sympathy, it's the idea that peace is more important than principles.
You can see it in more places than just Africa.

You caught that :)

It is funny that you write a rude and angry post but then self-censor the word shit.
You can't win here.
I work in an inbound center they still bitched that they don't get their way immediately.
Only on slashdot would working in a call center (inbound or outbound) be seen as comparable to being a baby rapist or axe murderer.
You don't honestly think that is a republican posting, do you?
Those kind of post are people just trying to make all conservatives look ignorant (yet not ignorant enough to post on slashdot anonymously.)
Do you think someone who is that stupid could even work a computer?

Better than the smoking taxes then.
Those seem to go to everything but healthcare.
The ones I have seen ask for your cell phone number so they can text it to you.
That just seems like a lot of work versus setting up a spam filter.
Me too. I'm saving it for work when I have to use IE6.
I have the ads nicely handled at home.

It was cool seeing the player jumping on the beast to rip off its horn.
Yes, but not from microsoft.

The thing is, it's not a hard market to break into on the desktop level.

I left off a zero :)
50000.

Or to use instead of folders (think gmail)
The difference being that Google Desktop advertises indexing your computer.
I guess they just wanted the widgets?
