Some mod woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I found parent to be mildly funny and ontopic.
On a related note, does anyone else feel it should be pronounced electrovolt? IAAP and I understand that that's not what it is, but it sounds far cooler, and isn't that what the LHC is all about?
Well Acer offered me 40 euro for vista a month ago, but said I'd have to pay them 50 to remove it.
Consumer rights are fairly low on the agenda here so third party help wasn't much use and so I have one tasty vista license to cover my Arch and Ubuntu installs.
The network is fine, since it has a lot of users. The application is a shining edifice of awful.
Or the above used to be the case. In the last year or two an awful lot more people have started using google talk (mostly on their gmail) so the network became unnecessary. The application itself got worse, it really is a polished turd now with all the Live crap.
I knew, but felt it would complicate things. It's all about the sell. You know those Parallels users (actually Parallels isn't awful, it's just non-free).
The is a reason why some good software is difficult to use, you have to learn it. You will learn it, because it's worth it.
For an simple example see clicking vs. keyboarding; if you know your keyboard shortcuts you can do a lot of things a lot more quickly. It takes a time investment that a lot of (l)users are not willing to give, but it'll pay off soon enough.
It's a good thing you can't just sit down and work productively with 3dsMax, or emacs, or C, if you could they wouldn't be as good as they are.

I must assume you meant 100st post
That's about 630kg.
Pretty heavy for a post.
Fair point AC.
That is one thing gmail doesn't offer me.
Then why don't you put on your google-goggles, click "Cached" under the result, and see through the eyes of the GoogleBot.
I see that as a feature, not a bug.

Life isn't fair, software licensing doubly so.
Well maybe is you're stuck on SI time. Personally I calculate with Planck time and so it's always an integer. :p
Exponential decay, by definition uses e. (Or vice-versa, the hint is the "e")
You are absolutely right (IMHO) in your point though.
I found that this did nothing for my musical enjoyment.
If anything it made the sound from my headphones duller and swishier.
IS LESS THAN /. still can't guess that it wasn't part of a tag
very sorry
I, too, will bite.

And btw my uid yours. :)
You just lost that one
You're neglecting the fact that an awful lot of FOSS comes from Europe, where we can disable DRM, ignore software patents, etc.
Whether or not I've violated a software license also has no bearing on whether or not someone else has. Your English and logic make me cry.
I tar up everything on my system, you insensitive clod.
It may not have the best compression ratio but damn is it fast to decompress.
Only Apple could make a linear curve.
I hear the circular volume knob on the new iPod will have a pi of 3.

Dear Sir,
I have googled your ideas and only found forum posts similar to this one.
It does nothing for your credibility. Next time anchor your link or have a crawlable page if you want anyone to see what you have to say.
I knew, but felt it would complicate things. It's all about the sell.
You know those Parallels users (actually Parallels isn't awful, it's just non-free).
You presume that it is impossible to break out of a virtualised environment.
A quick google will turn up papers which may diminish your naivety.
Also IMHO the way to go is VirtualBox (FOSS and made by Soracle).
That looks like Malware. Stuff that people install voluntarily because of social engineering.
I could put:
-
#!/bin/bash
sudo rm -rf /
-
I remember reading that it's better practice to write that
sudo rm / -rf
since putting your switches at the end (especially on rm) makes it easier to catch stupid mistakes (like hitting return early).
Not that in your case it's a huge deal.
You wrote "shit eating" when you should have written "shit-eating".
IMPOSTER! A real grammar nazi would know that the period goes BEFORE the quotation mark.
I'll bite; that applies only to quoted sentences.

And do you think that they aren't entitled to make a living?
People like you make me sick.

Not only can they fly, but they can do e-commerce!
and I will backfire badly
:?
It's not like it coud have been a typo, you capitalised it.
Is this some new americanism?
If it's too easy, it's not worth doing.

The day "caffeine" becomes a word that is objectionable to a non-trivial chunk of my customer base is the day I know the PC crazies have won.
It's not just PCs! Have you never seen a Mac-head with a latte?
(I object to the term PC for a computer, it's mostly misleading)
I got a CS degree
Because computers work in powers of 2
You needed to tell him that?
Either his university sucks, or you are a condescending bastard.
If I were you, the "Supreme Reichstag" would not be the first place I would go to file a case.
Unless, of course, you usually file your legal cases in the House of Representatives sixty years ago.
If that's what you do then you're fine.
While I'd live to say something relevant and not just insulting to Idle I feel that I can't.
This makes me sad.
