I'd have to start posting in rubber panties and booties.

Fuck yeah. Pwned.

Maybe they did. Maybe tehy did.

This could be it. Prove it wrong.

Shame your comment is going unmodded. Points for polite, level headed, response.

Personally, I don't care if I'm not getting a game with it. I'm using linux anyway and will be pointing this device at 10's of petabytes of real 3D data. I'll be too busy to play games.

Still cannot wait.

Almost as bad as IBM. We'll never go with them again.

With clear data and compute specification, the sales and 'specialists' said it was easy and could put something in place that would last and expand well into the future. We received a terrible storage solution (don't know who signed off on it). Didn't (couldn't) scale and didn't perform. When things went wrong with it, they couldn't even diagnose it. What was the point of the support contract? Truly awful.

Never again. Avoid at all costs.

Or penalise it under certain conditions when it uses it. That way, give it a chance to be natural.

At a small country town (~10,000 people, a lot of older folk) in Australia where I saw the LOTR trilogy each boxing day, the cinema had intermissions. Was fantastic. About 10-15 minutes. Made the film really enjoyable since you can stretch and all sorts. Cinema probably even makes more money since a lot of people re-snacked.

I wasn't expecting it for Fellowship and had made the toilet sprint prior.

It is more like $500. Still ridiculously cheap.

Only governments can do this sort of thing properly. Pity Americans don't trust their government.

I really recommend you give Gnome3 a chance. There is a lot of hate towards it that I don't understand. It is just new ... that's all. It still does everything I expect from a window manager.

I even like it. Took a little while but I also have an older machine with Gnome2 and I find it almost unusable and archaic when I have to use it. I really, really recommend you give gnome3 a good chance.

ps. I was also mister no transitions, no wobbly windows ... don't waste my cycles with gnome2.

Yeah? What would those three lines of code be exactly? Time to put your money where your mouth is.

Because we've had to wait for miniaturisation to catch up to the idea. Just cause something fails once does not mean it will fail always.

I've spent all day trying to update my wife's phone (gt-i9000 2.3.3) and my phone nexus s (4.0.3) with zero success. I don't want to root them.

Most of the time has been spent with the gt-i9000 since it is the most out of date one but every attempt has failed. The documentation for doing this is shit. The resources for doing this is shit.

I only have linux (F17) at home. If I can't do it then it is little wonder that others cannot.

More than that ... a telephone survey study compared *perceptions of*

Citizen Science: If everybody deem something to be true, then it must be.

I think this must be something about Americans and their innate hatred of all things government.

Here, the government runs lots of things. Sure, some of those things are a money pit. But that's because if government didn't do it then nobody would. Yet, that particular service means something to some people even if it is not for me nor anybody I know. That's why they do it. It is pretty easy to sit on the sidelines and make calls about the inner workings you are not even remotely aware of. Government are still people and most people care.

It is like the comment above yours just now ... the poster only cares about him/her self. How many times can one person mention "I" in a discussion about looking after everybody? Not to mention that insurance has a little habit of saying 'no, that's not covered' when it suits them. It is fine when you're young and healthy, but the point of the original question is what to do when you are not young and insurance doesn't see you as profitable?

Good luck, mate. I hope all you guys get all the love and respect you deserve.

I understand the thought process there but it is when you are healthy that it is best to get stuff checked out.

I'm 34 and very healthy. I went to a gastroenterologist to get an endoscopy and colonoscopy (bowel cancer is the biggest preventative killer here for men) and they found a nice large 1.5cm polyp. Two seconds later, it was gone. Had I not been screened, it probably would have killed me by age 50.

I won't gamble with my health.

Yup. I dropped by to say pretty much the same thing: Move to a country that gives a fuck about the health of its citizens.

Wealthiest nation on earth, my arse.
