Comment Re:Really FOURTEEN different halves = 7 ? (Score 0) 199

The article does state that you need 5 of 7 to restore.

So if three of them should happen to suffer an unfortunate "accident", everything is totally screwed?

YES! But I say we get all seven, just to be sure!
And, perhaps Al Gore also, for starting this jimcrackery in the first place.

Frankly, I'm tired of this interweb nonsense with all its tubes.
I would like to get back to my productive REAL-WORLD job. (Fashioning grapplegrommets out of laminated chickenfat)
Hey- the interweb was fun, but it (and this slashdot jibber-jabber) has gone on long enough, don't you think?

Time to get back to work, ladies!
I'm buying a plane ticket to Ottawa shortly. I suggest that any of you /.ers that know something about those other six loose-loafer poseurs, track 'em down respectively. And let's do the job RIGHT this time.

Ubuntu. is really so much harder to use than Microsoft Windows. Everything on Microsoft Windows just works, and you have to fuss with Ubuntu to get it to do what you want, keep it from getting a virus, hunt all over the web to get software updates..... I think the only reason Dell does this is because Ubuntu is setup to do anything useful or keep it running. With the Microsoft Windows they don't sell any add-on software because Microsoft Windows already has everything it needs to work.

I don't support PETA the organization or their methods, but I do share their concern about how animals are used. .

Yeah.. well.. MAN-
I actually belong to PETA, but I see nothing wrong with dispatching the occasional squirrel
But in my case, I would EAT the damn creature, before using its hide to cover a beer-can.
You do the creature honour in this way instead of sacrilege.

Why do I belong to PETA? Because every time I hear some yahoo rant "Duh.. dem stoopid PETA peepul! Why are dey so stoopid?", I just vow to renew my membership. or increase my donation.
Bur believe me, if a rat or squirrel gets into my attic to chew on the insulation or electrical wires , if all else (live-trapping) fails, I will kill it.

LOL! ROFL! (As a perpetual /. bad karma guy (they hate me here), sadly I have no modpointz to give you)

...Reminds me of an old friend who once told me- "Geez man I was sooo pissed last nite that I blew chunks!"

me: "Hey man! It's OK! We've all done that on occasion."

"You don't understand! Chunks is my pet squirrel!"

..huh. No wonder I have bad karma.

....I have tried to convert others, but ultimately they end up back in Windows/OSX. There is nothing wrong with that.

For many computers just need to get "Task X" done. If Windows is the easiest way to get that done, then so be it...

Exactly.
I'd mod you up, but for some strange reason I am considered bad here.
Probably just 'cause I like Win7 as much as Ubuntu.

Heh!
I'm a parent. and almost 70. so far my kids aren't even interested in ubuntu, even though i have set them up to dual boot it.
In my strange world it seems the parents are geeks, the kids are (non)studiously avoiding this peculiar life style.
Mind you, they have pretty fast thumbs when it comes to cellphones!
