If they put more of these cameras on the Interstates in that city they would have to hold court in every Chic Filet & Waffle House available for all the road-ragers they caught. Part of me is disgusted by this because it reminds me of the kind of stories I read about London and it's network of cameras. The other part of me remembers living in Atlanta for several years, both before and after the '96 Olympics, and how the city is now filled with degenerate scum who will drain the life out of every situation they can sink their suck-pipes into. This includes much of the Elect. Atlanta is a nice place, geographically speaking, as long as it isn't tornado season and you live in Alabama. If you ever visit, for the love of Jesus H Fucking Christ stay away from Underground. The city had to zip-tie bike racks together along the curbs to herd the human cows and keep them from owning the streets entirely with their complete disregard for everything that living in a home should have taught them by the time they were 7 years old. That place is almost a total shit-hole. People from New York, Chicago & other shit-holes like to brag about how Atlanta wishes it was a real city, but the fact is Atlanta is just like every fucked up story you ever read about those places anyway. Dream on, dipshits. Your life is third-world hell & you voted for your own overlords.

It's those lousy spud-spanking Irish trailer-trolls. They've been making up stories about their ancient past for millennium.

I'm all about sharing, but I find it amusing that people like yourself overlook the basic fact that it's their responsibility to create their own jobs and support themselves.

Right there! That's the spot. The spot where you lost me.

As long as they don't change anything about their keyboard shortcuts I'll live with the rest of the issues. Firefox has been losing my patience with all of it's bugs, but i'm attached to it's plugins and keyboard shortcuts. Everytime i've tried Opera or Chrome i come right back to Firefox, for those reasons. I hate Opera's keyboard shortcuts and Chrome's tabs-on-top layout.

Is everyone posting dribble on Slashdot a geek? How would you even know?

I suppose i would agree, as long as you are using the term "general-purpose computing device" in the most general sense of the word.

Obviously this isn't the case.

You know such geeks who have this strange incapability to grasp this obvious fact? I've never met one.

Apple is in no way obliged to support any alternative use that i find for the phone i purchased. How does this cast their business into a mess?

Apart from the usual recommendations (plenty of RAM, decent graphics card, etc) run your VM from a second hard drive. I've done this successfully to run Adobe CS3 without much issue. Some people might complain that it's not as lightening fast as it is outside of a VM, but those people will always complain about any little thing they can. This is just my experience turning over an office of about 10 workstations to Ubuntu and VMware Workstation.

You have clients who would prefer a crippled solution with no upgrade path to a full blown, cheap, low-powered, atom system? This thing requires a server to be useful. A custom system built on a low powered processor can be the media center and server at the same time.

Check again.... it's one year.

I whole heartedly stand behind you on this, my friend. I was just wondering earlier today if it was possible to block that annoying site from my google searches.

I was thinking the same thing. "Please don't shoehorn this crap into the next LTS!" Hopefully they'll just stick it in the intermediate releases, however. I'll give it a spin around the office, but i'm not getting my hopes up for this.
