In terms of preferred names of tools, groups, individuals, etc. the jailbreaking scene, whatever license they happen to release their software under, really seems to resemble the warez release guys more than OSS. The latter certainly have more than their share of ill-polished nerd jokes, and generally tend not to take marketing's advice on strategic blandness very seriously; but the former intentionally seek out and adopt directly offensive, tasteless, or vaguely threatening names for things.

Where I live, groupon only offers services at a discount of marked up price. So, the going rate for a non-X rated short massage is $25 and we'll mark it up to $100 and offer it via groupon at half off only $50. ditto car detailing at half their normal $60/hour rates, landscape services where they pay the illegal $5 cash after mowing the lawn and charging you $80 but now only half price, etc. Does anyone get actual "stuff" from groupon deals, like walk away with a physical object?
Back in September, I used a groupon to get a ham calzone that usually cost me $8 without a drink for $6 with drink included. They refused to clip my free lunch, frequent customer card, however. I still came out ahead, though I wouldn't have if I had maxed out the salad bar with my free lunch. But I didn't. With my CNBC hat on, I'd say this translates into approximately $100 of market capitalization - per American citizen.
same as a Ponzi scheme
Dude, please. Not this garbage again.
In this context, there is no possibility of reading ISPs as being anything other than the plural of ISP. Therefore, the apostrophe is unnecessary. What's worse, every superfluous apostrophe such as this re-wires the minds of many of those who see it, permanently ablating the apostrophe regulation regulation of their brains such that they will never again in their life properly use an apostrophe.
Victims of the apostrophe plague, once infected, pluralize with apostrophes, form contractions by joining words without delineation, form possessives by trailing an apostrophe or omitting it altogether, and misuse "it's" and "its" without regard for the damage they cause.
That bacon and burning hair smell you detect was emitted by part of your mind dying. You are now one of the stupids, forever. Welcome to Slashdot'apostrophe.
bailing out some industries can be alright if done correctly.
You are one inconsistent motherfucker.
"Its," you fucking troglodyte.
well.. I can only judge by what you say, not what you think. It looks like the GP made a joke about a car, and you said, you're really going to give him a car??? that deserve a woosh.
He didn't seriously expect anyone to give anyone a car. It was a joke! Whoosh!
Microsoft has been a rather stable investment over the years, and held its value well during the recent
crunch.
That said, some years ago, after Microsoft paid off my house and put my kid thru college, I jumped ship to Apple.
Now I'm looking for somewhere else to jump, because I figure Apple has run its course.
On the Y! finance boards, what you just did is called "chartin' the charts" and is a known logical fallacy. You need to ask Microsoft "what have you done for me lately and what are you going to do in the future?" Charts from 3 decades ago tell you nothing. How about you get into the current century?
You supercilious punk, he "got with the current century" when he sold his MS high and bought Apple low. Now he's about to sell Apple high and buy something else low. Those charts tell us how much money he made.
In 2003, Gaddafi abandoned his WMD programs and made many other concessions to Western powers, in exchange for normal relations. The West basically turned around and disposed him, when the opportunity presented itself. Shows how trustworthy the West can be.
Deposed, you twit. Deposed.
And what the fuck did we owe Ghadaffi aside from not invading him at that particular time? It's not like we married the guy.
I was here first. So you can spread incredible lies somewhere else, instead, and I'll stay here and speak truth to power.
Wow, you really are that fucking stupid. Kill yourself.
The sight of African Americans scares your tiny little self and you think that it's OK to have others die so that you can keep your false beliefs of being able to leach off of the healthcare of others.
Basically, you are a sorry excuse of a human being, and if you don't like Obama, then he's probably doing a good job.
Amen.
I'm struggling to see the bad in that. It just looks like your run-of-the-mill speeding fine to me.
What's the difference in this case?
You pay the fine. YOU ARE NOT DONE PAYING. You then must pay additional "surcharge" amounts as a function of how many points you have on your license and the manner of your driving offenses. You must continue paying for years until the points fall off your license. Collection of the surcharges is contracted out to unscrupulous "vendors" accountable to nobody.
Again, it's tempting to stick the knife in Republicans for this, but I don't live in Texas and I never will. It's their state and their laws; fuck em.
There is a lot of speculation on many sites about Microsoft being the financier but AFAIK there is NO PROOF.

Where's the Beef (to borrow a phrase from a US Election)
OK, dipshit. Here you go: "In early 2003, Microsoft started paying SCO what eventually grew to $16.6 million for a Unix license, according to regulatory filings."
Of course, this won't satisfy you as your dipshit A/C modus operandi is to reflexively deny things such as the Holocaust and Microsoft supporting SCOX.
>> 4,143,077 Texans live in poverty. 1,655,085 of them are children. http://www.census.gov/
The other some odd 2,487,922 are paying Texas traffic ticket SURCHARGES.
I hadn't heard of this, so I googled "texas ticket surcharge."
If you go to Texas, you'll pay for it the rest of your life.
Unreal. I don't even have it in me to make a jab at Republicans over this. I mean... holy shit, Texas. Holy fucking shit. I'm not mad, or angry, or even disappointed. I'm stunned.
Stellar rays prove fibbing never pays. Embezzlement is another matter.
