Roomba's automation is primitive and sucks. It would go crazy in my house, where everything moves daily and the only thing you won't find is a right angle. Besides, how much of geekdom is just about control?
Well, as the phrase goes, "Welcome to the Jungle." Ayn Rand was a fool when she said selfishess is a virtue. John Galt will never exist, not even with a positive attitude. You want your cake, then fight for it! After all, competitive capitalism solves all of societies' ills beter than socialism, right?
To navigate those pages, wouldn't it be nicer to have PgUp/PgDn buttons like all modern tv remotes have? Heck, wouldn't it be nicer to have telephone-style number/text buttons to directly enter channel numbers and enter text for program searches? How about a simple "record" button to record what you're currently watching?
The problem isn't that it's an experiment in creating an artificial carrier for a viral ad, it that it's suckitude... is reaching... Shatnerian proportions! TFA may smack of teenage journalism (which I don't think is a bad thing [that is, teenagers writing]), but the ads, just... I don't have the words.
Because they make a hell of a lot of money and control 99% of the software the US government runs on, so people in office can continue to click with the thingy on the whachamajigger.
Capitalism is a darwinistic dog-eat-dog FFA. Omnium fuckin' contra omnes. If artificial price fixing to kill off the competition actually succeedes, then the competition had a bad legal department, not enough hired goons to break some knees in return, or couldn't slash worker wages and useless department budgets lke customer service in order to respond to the fix, and the result is you get to stare into a newer bigger transmitter for about $60 less. Interpol and most other countries actually care about social practices. You wanna know what drives America? Go read Atlas Shrugged.
Flame me, I don't care, but there are many shells for Windows that do half past anything. Geoshell, Enlightenmnet, Litestep, up to things like Talisman. OOB there's not much, and on Macs there's even less, but Mac lovers like everything the same way anyway. Still, though.
It doesn't because Apple is 3-something percent of the total market (how many hyperconglomerates run on Macs?), no matter how cultish some of them are. They still don't matter very much.
Said the ATI fanboy to the r-tard. Besides, Nux users don't like proprietary (is there any difference between that and closed source?) binaries from what I've learned, and if it were open, what's to stop it from becoming like any semblence of what the Diablo series became?
I guess another point I was trying to make was that if there were a closed-source sideways-compatible Linux version of WoW, would Nux users buy it?
On Windows I don't think you'd have to worry as much about the kernel, but that sounds right (said the n00b to the/.er). And yeah, it is mostly sideways compatibility I'm worried about. That and setting processor affinity on dual/quad core systems. (WoW.exe, svchost.exe, farmbot01.exe to core 1, else to 0)
Well, now that's what keypressers are for! Some of them also chime really loud when anybody important (someone who can kick&ban you) messages you, so you can say I'm training and ignoring them. Most of the botters I know just bot when they're farming while they play halo or something. I could only imagine the bots that could spring up on a Nux version and not just a Windows emulated version.
And how do you propose to sell closed-source software that runs on all versions of 'Nux, and barring that, how do you propose Blizzard make, let alone sell, an open-source version of WoW that would run on all versions of Linux? (p.s. - not trying to flamebait, I would make hot, sweaty man-love the being(s) that can answer these questions)

We can tell that 27" is longer than 2' because of the same reason you can tell that 25 degrees is a good temperature right off the bat - we grew up with it. Most of the carpenters I know say it's more "organic" or that chopping it up into 16ths makes it easier to build stuff with. I say asses to that, but it's not going anywhere anytime soon. What's really fun when you're used to both systems is to make random switches between the two when building things (like chairs, not space probes), and have someone try to build them. Hilarity ensues! Also, I could make the same arguement about stones (but I won't, because it's fun to say I weigh fifteen stone seven [cause it sounds like a band:p ]).
You gotta remember that the American forefathers were mostly Puritans - people so conservative ENGLAND kicked them out (thank you Robin Williams). All that has come of the USA is the ripples of their actions. We're only now going through the stages of casting off most of that. The evangelists are (hopefully) the last, abscessed leg of the religous superconservatism.
Birth management along with computer-ruled socialism and a population-chart-based global sex/religion/race/creed-indifferent genocide to reduce population levels down to about 10%. Dismantle the empt cities and use the resources for engineering, eugenic and genetic experiments while figuring out how to cut probabillity of impregnation, bring it down to about 30%. Then take the shame out of sex, disease, and hygenics education and make two-way (put into Terra what we take out) green econoimcs mandatory. Dismantle the global socialism and have all the countries of the world re-write their counstitutions, and have all thrie laws undergo contradiction management.

But that's tiering by hardware, the case in point is tiering by software.

Virtual keyboards, character maps, and the Optimus keyboard, just to name a few points...
Wi-Fi mesh networks.
Why must WiMAX become the Betamax of wireless networking?
As in a more sophisticated storyline and world setting, not as in adult content (though as to your point, I'm certainly not complaining...)
Things are terrible in te U.S. We will always be 5 years behind you guys.
