Don't forget terrorists.

Okay, I have to set something straight. It doesn't look for the string "Apple." It looks for a 2 byte code which MEANS apple.

It's spelled the same way. You just have to reverse/transpose a few consonants.

I think this super expensive design is the wrong approach to fusion and that this guy is on the right track. This is assuming, of course, that fusion can work as a power source.

What about Dave Thomas? Arguably a much more famous CEO considering how many commercials he starred in.

And that Bill Gates guy might be a tad more famous, though I worry about mentioning this since it seems like flamebait. Also, he's not a CEO anymore.

An MS troll on slashdot with a karma bonus? Now I've seen everything.

(And I mean no slights against parent, just /.ers in general)

Wrong state, you're thinking of West Virginia. Here in NC we all fuck farm animals. :-P

NC has its hicks but at least the urban areas are relatively hick-free. NC has many world famous colleges. Just the triad (where I live and work) is the home of Duke, UNC-Chapel Hill, and NC State University. IBM has one of its largest sites in Research Triangle Park, where 11,000 IBM employees and contractors work.

That's why I make 'em wear high-heels. Hobbles them nicely.

You've obviously never made one of these before.

I noticed the summary was tagged "bigbrother" but this isn't really big brother this is more nanny state. Which, granted, to a certain degree 1984 was a nanny state, but more so through the cripple of minds than the crippling of freedoms.

Soon children will wear devices that monitor their bloodsugar and hormone levels and if the levels drop too much (i.e. the kid is hungry) for too long, parents will be charged with criminal negligence and thrown in jail and the kids put into foster care where they won't be so horribly mistreated.

ugh. Errant click gave you a redundant mod. Sorry. Was going for funny. }undone{

CDs usually have the logo of their music company. If its one you've heard of or heard of its parent company, you probably shouldn't buy it.

Why boycott when I can "deprive" them of money through pirating?!

But then they sue over that too. Loose Loose. I give up. They can have my money. I'm sad now.

well obviously we need to still work on things and developers need to make sure multiplatform programs work equally well on all platforms. I said differences should be ignored only if you want to go with one OS or another. if slow firefox is a deal breaker for you, go with windows. I don't see what the problem is.

You're unhappy with Linux because you're making the fatal mistake of trying to live a Microsoft life with a Linux based OS. It's like deciding you like nautical life so you buy an airplane. I had the same problem when I switched from windows 98 to Linux. I used XP along side Linux for a while, but eventually Linux (more acurately, POSIX) felt oh so more right and sensible than windows. Now, if it isn't POSIX compatible, it's a weird niche system to me. If you can let go of all your windows-isms and microsoft-isms you can be much happier with your computer. You can't constantly compare the two OSes, either. You'll never be satisfied like that, especially if you're really used to the first OS. It's like watching a really great movie many times and then years later watching a remake. Even if the remake is fantastic and new and has all the elements of the old that you like, it'll still be different. It will still feel like a shameless copy that doesn't quite work the way you want it to. You'll expect a line from your favorite character only to hear something different. Does the fact it was different from what you expected make it a bad line? Probably not, but it still leaves you a bit disappointed. I guess my point is to leave behind all your preconceptions about what an OS is and how it should behave, if you truly wish to switch to Linux--or any other OS for that matter--and be happy with it.

Okay, enough bad analogies.
