I also know there's no possible reason to highlight "invade" in your original post. Try saying that sentence out loud (following your own advice) and emphasizing the word "invade." I guarantee you'll sound like a complete tool. "Private" I can accept in bold.
"Net Doublecharge," though, I think you just made that up.
RIMMER: Well I'm no stranger to the land of scoff. Perhaps you'd like to explain to me why it is that every major battle in history has been won by the side with the shortest haircuts? KRYTEN: Oh, surely not, sir. RIMMER: Think about it, why did the US Cavalry beat the Indian Nation? Short back and sides versus girly hippy locks. The cavaliers and the roundheads.. one-nil to the pudding basins. Vietnam, crew cuts both sides... no score, draw.
YouTube was written without an SDK, at least no more, or no less, of an SDK than the iPhone has, and yet I'd call it a killer app.
The notion that something has to be compiled into machine language to be a killer app is kind of wonky, if you ask me. Everyone out there already making clever web apps might have something to say about that.
Not too long after they stop accepting IDs from those states that refuse to take part in Real ID I can see something of a Civil rights thing happening.
Ok, fair enough, with you here.
Just how long have we got to wait until the Neo conservative ruling class get deposed?
A little weird now... "deposed?" The answer is, "until you vote them out," by the way. Then we get a new ruling class of bleeding-heart pinkos.
I'm something of a fan of Pulp SF, particularly the early stuff, your EE 'Doc' Smith and the like. His worlds were full of the kind of people who would love this stuff. Fanatically loyal, good clean white folk, ready to believe, and die for, anything a government told them. They were also undeniably Aryan in nature.
Uh... ok... you're losing me now.
When it comes to fiction, especially fiction of such historical importance to the world of SF I am willing to dismiss such concepts as products of a different age and enjoy traversing the early history of SF. However, to see people trying to change America in such a way that only the fictional American Aryans of the 1930's would accept it as is, is a frightening thing indeed.
And, bam, there it is. Totally lost.
If I'm understanding you right, you're saying that Aryans of the 1930s would accept reading 'Doc' Smith fiction? Or something?
Missing application menu in the upper-left corner. This menu contains menu items for Minimize, Maximize, Restore, Move, and Size. This menu is still accessible via its keyboard shortcut (Alt-Space). Present since: At least Windows 3.0, 1991
Just FYI, I think that's deprecated now. You used to be able to double-click this icon to close a window, a habit I got into, but in a lot of recent Microsoft apps that doesn't work. For instance, if you double-click the icon in Windows Live Messenger, it maximizes the application... for some reason.
A lot of people spent a lot of time working on this software, porting it to Windows, putting bugs out, meeting the spec they were writing to meet.
And the very first comment from some random person on Slashdot is, "oh it sucks because it lacks." That doesn't strike you as rude?
Sure my response was a flame, but the parent I was replying to was an a-hole and deserved to be flamed. I hope next time he releases a project (assuming he ever produces anything), the first response from someone's mouth is, "oh, your product sucks because it can't sort poetic lines in reverse alphabetical order in Farsi."
Maybe because they're still working on getting the features working right and they haven't focused on security yet? They have better things to do at the moment. It's a beta. BETA! It's like nobody remembers what that means. Beta means the program isn't done yet; it has the basic features the release version will have and a whole lot of bugs.
If you don't like that, and here's a total shocker: don't use beta software. Nobody's holding a gun to your head and forcing you to run Safari betas.
The nice thing about Apple is, unlike most open source projects, you can be assured they eventually will release a final version. Open source software tends to stay at version 0.8 forever and ever.
My point was that you seem to think everyone reading this site cares about what browser you use. We don't care that you use Camino. We don't care why you use Camino. Apple doesn't give a crap, either. Don't bother posting junk like that, it just clutters up the forum.
If you want, though, I could post reams of postings for little details in software I don't like, but I don't because I realize that nobody cares. I don't have the ego you do, I guess.
My post had absolutely nothing to do with open source, or adding features, or whatever imagined points you replied to.
Extra bonus content: I also don't care what a "strawman fallacy" is, so I'll just ignore that last sentence of yours even though I'm sure it was insulting in some way.
Wow, I use a Mac daily and the parent's a complete asshole. (Not to mention factually wrong.) Of course, this is Slashdot, so it got modded up instantly to +5.
I'll believe it when I see it. Beyond the handful of titles announced at the WWDC, which will certainly come out at three times the cost and full of bugs.
Crap, guys! VinceB isn't going to be using Safari 3 because of a single teeny feature! Well, pack it in, we might as well stop development right now if VinceB doesn't like it.
(Seriously, how important do you think you are? Get over yourself. Apple doesn't care if you're not going to use Safari 3, and I doubt anybody here gives a crap either.)
I (like many people), was originally shocked to find out the user name and email is embedded in the file being unaware that this was in fact *always* the case. Despite all the folks here pointing out that it was always the case, how many regular users of iTunes and iPods are aware of that? If it isn't commonly understood, then it's as good as secret.
A lot of people don't know how to, for instance, use Word and Excel together to do a mail merge-- does that mean that the mail merge feature is a secret?
Look, the information is right there in the Get Info screen. Anybody who's ever done Get Info on a track to change the genre or album or anything has seen it. If you didn't know about it, then there are two possibilities: 1) You don't use iTunes, so why the hell do you even care? 2) You're an idiot.
That's all there is to it. A lot of software programs have features some people don't know about-- in fact, I'd say 90% of software programs do. Did you know that if you held down Shift while clicking the minimize icon in OS X, it'll do the genie visual effect in slow motion? Amazing that Apple kept this "secret" from us! IT MUST BE MALICIOUS!
My experience with Windows is that it is sloppily coded, and lots of things cause Windows to need maintenance. For example, the CPU hogging bug in Firefox, which seems to be worse in Firefox version 2.0.0.4, sometimes causes Windows XP Professional SP2 to become unstable and require re-starting the computer. When Firefox hogs the CPU under Linux, it is only necessary to kill Firefox. Linux remains stable.
1) Why are you saying that WIndows is bad because of a bug in a third-party program coded by, and let's be realistic here, people who hate Microsoft?
2) Why not just kill the process on Windows?
If Microsoft paid schools $100 per copy to take Windows, the cost of Windows would still be far higher than K12Linux.
Would it? Admins who know Linux are a lot more valuable (and thus expensive) than admins that know Linux. In addition, the school may have software packages they have licensed that they would have to re-license under Linux, or even abandon altogether because the program doesn't exist in that environment.
Licensing cost isn't the ONLY cost associated with running computers. I hear this from Linux people all the time, and it's just wrong.
Another problem with a Windows system is hiring people who are willing to work with products from a company such as Microsoft that is so abusive
What reality are you in? It's far easier to hire admins who know Windows well, even high quality admins. And they come cheaper than Linux admins.
Judging from the many, many complaints on the newsgroup, there seem to be many other kinds of Windows Update problems we haven't had.
This is a great way to judge the quality of a product. Based on the many, many complaints on newsgroups, how many Linux problems have you never had?
HUH!? I'm going to judge the quality of a product based on how many problems I haven't had! Great idea.
So you think that NPR should only exist if it's a left-wing mouthpiece?
I think that a public station should be run in the interests of the public, not in the interests of a wealthy elite. So-called public networks like NPR and the BBC have been in strong support for the interests of the executives, board members, and shareholders of convicted criminal corporations such as Microsoft. A public station should be left wing because the left (anarchists, socialists, progressives, etc) really are concerned with the interests of the working class. The working class is the majority in the USA and most of the world. Why can't we have some media that supports us? Why should the news be monopolized by the elite owners of the means of production?
So you think that NPR should only exist if it's a left-wing mouthpiece? And further, assume that anybody listening to it is only listening to it specifically because it's a left-wing mouthpiece?
WTF is wrong with people.
Dude, if he likes the station, let him listen to it, ok?
It was "faked" in that she lied about taking a motorcycle through the zone by herself. She just took the normal tour and had photos taken of her holding a helmet. Why? Who knows... I guess touring the zone isn't exciting enough by itself, you have to be on a motorcycle too.
Actually, Windows XP, through some kind of insane hackiness, will actually boot and run from Fat32. Highly NOT recommended, though, I'm sure performance goes into the crapper.

If we act now, while we still can, before AT&T and their telco/cableco cartel shuts us down.
We're almost convinced, but I think we need a few more random bold tags before it can happen...
It sounds like Leopard will have some convergence between new Mac UI guidelines and the actual UI of Apple's new apps, though, which will be good!
Don't hold your breath. They've been promising that for many, many OS X releases.
Use the Arnold J Rimmer method:

Consider the editors frequently change text and links inside the quote marks, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.
