Segway is the future of transportation.

Distrowatch numbers don't even begin to matter. I thought that was a well established fact now.

As Canada is aligned with NATO, we are by definition part of the first world. Do they teach these things in your third world country?

Yes, the third world country of Canada.

Got off on the wrong foot today?

It kind of is when the companies are known not to plug the holes properly once they're done with an area. It's a problem in my province, which has caused some uproar, justifiably.

It's what happens when you mix basic net with acidic net.

What a bunch of fucking morons. Meanwhile here I am reading reviews online to figure out which brand of rechargeable batteries to buy. I want to make sure this ~20$ purchase is the right one. Guess I'm a bad consumer.

P.S.: It's the Eneloops, apparently.

This looks like every American action movie that has come out in the last 5 years. I would not have been surprised if Micheal Bay had done this. Pass.

As far as we know, the Universe is finite.

I'd say you're describing the ideal BA, which might be a rare breed...

You pay for xbox live and your games are more expensive. A PC can be built for 600$ which beats an Xbox One and will quickly beat it in price if you only buy games from online sales (which you really should). Also, consider that a computer is needed anyway. Then it's no longer even the full price of the PC that you must consider, but the extra you are paying to have a gaming PC vs a working PC. Then the advantage is even more in the PC's favour. The inherent backward compatibility and mods inherent to the platform put the final nail in the coffin.

Your analogy fails because dragsters can achieve a higher top speed, but are inherently limited compared to normal cars. For games, PCs can have more raw power and are more versatile.

Whenever they post this stuff, there's like 300 comments. I think we are all well aware of how utterly pointless theses "debates" end up being, but the slashdot folks can't hear us over all the $$$.

Except you can restate anything that you are prevented from doing as being something you are forced to do. For example, you are not allowed to go outside, which means you are forced to stay in the jail. The distinction you make is completely irrelevant.

You have still not addressed the point of the person you're replying to. Hemp is not really popular even in countries in which it's been legal all along. Your conspiracy theories simply don't match up to reality. Your retort about cigarettes is completely irrelevant.

This thread has predictably devolved into a bunch of people waging holy war on systemd. The reality is that most arguments against systemd come from an emotional place, not a rational one. It works fine for arch users and it works fine for all the distros that are adopting it. This is like the unity backlash: Ubuntu is still #1, so that didn't really accomplish anything.
