Any ideas?

Sounds like the same ol' story of Microsoft Windows.... You do a fresh install, it works great until it's connected to the internet and in a few months it runs like this. Buyer beware.

I'm saying that the Mainstream can change, but why the fuck is it not happening?

No reason to.

The fact is that the majority (Well, highest amount of people) likes the shit they spew out, so there is no reason to cater to whiny fucks who don't realize they could just not listen to it.

Kind of took my words right from me. Was also going to add though that Mastodon's been in the mainstream eye since Blood Mountain or before Leviathan even... It's OK to like popular stuff if you actually like it. I think Crack the Skye is a great album and I wouldn't ditch out on a band just because more people are finding out about them. When the band starts to change is when I'm on my way out the door.

Well I suppose we'd all have agreed on this immigration bill in AZ a LONG time ago if that happened.

there's this new chillout album I heard on drone zone I just ordered and love it

it's called Concert Silence - 9.22.07 [2-3p.m.] concertsilence.net

'meh' = most annoying non-word I've ever heard

'meme' = 2nd most annoying word i've ever heard and it has a different definition for almost every person you ask what it means

YEAH! Get the fuck over it. If you wanna post somewhere you gotta be able to take what comes afterwards even if it's not something nice.

there are plenty of animators here, but getting them to give you aids might be tough.

OK OP... You're telling me these scientists have all this ability and nanotechnology... but not the bio-engineering skill to include a penis or a vagina and preserve sex drive? IDK, these 'scientists' sound a bit fishy now. I'd have to consider it a while.

That kind of thing might be what they strive for over there. Like smoking is encouraged there because it helps people get cancer and die so there's room for more Japanese people.

With the economy how it is now, and how overpopulated some cities are.. Why is it the USA isn't trying to build some Japanese-like apartments where they're basically a tiny ass room to shit & sleep in?

I would love the idea (and so would others I'd imagine) to rent a tiny box like that at a much lower price than a regular apartment. Like not long term, but it'd be great for college students, or people hurting financially. They could retrofit some regular apartment buildings I bet and get like double occupancy. It'd be cool for people who don't have many possessions and just need a minimal room to sleep in and then spend most time elsewhere.

Open source fussing caused all this.

Wow, that sounds really counterproductive. Another funny thing I forgot to mention is I've never seen this guy completely get off of Windows (as much as he talks shit about it). Like right now his Ubuntu install doesn't support his soundcard and he has no ACPI support, so he's still dual-booting. Yet still has the gall to talk down MacOS and Windows just because no GNU license essentially.

Before I got a Mac, I at least had a good working system with FreeBSD and later Gentoo on it that supported all my hardware perfect for about 6-7 years I used exclusively (before that it was the bad old days of using Windows). So I at least have a little perspective of what it's actually like in these different environments.

Dualbooting. Mostly Ubuntu. I use NOD32 for both. Opensource antivirus is just shit, I don't know why anyone would bother.

That's what I thought, I always recommend that one to people though because it's the only free open one I know of.

The "purists" just anger me. People like Richard Stallman, who won't even use Firefox just because it has non-free branding.

lol, "only a sith deals in absolutes..."

Debian refused to use the Firefox branding and had a huge fight with Mozilla, so they renamed Firefox to Iceweasel.

There are things open source does well, and there are things that it doesn't do well.

I'm curious about this 'branding' issue. Where's the issue with this? Do you have any good links about it?

You have an iPod already, getting an iPod touch just for the apps is like getting a PSP for the games. If you simply want games, get the full scale thing, a PS3, likewise for your iPod situation.

However, if you really just want a toy that fits in your pocket, fine get the iPod, but it's a bit redundant considering that you already have an iPod.

The PSP comparison is horrible. By that logic he should get a PowerMac and a big Apple Cinema Display. I don't think it's redundant if there's at least 1 or a handful of really useful apps he'd be using on a regular basis. If there's really one you need, that iPod classic won't cut it. But I'm with these guys, if it's a just a toy to you then save your money.

At 5/7/10 10:26 PM, Valjylmyr wrote: So, would it be worth it?

The question you should be asking yourself is if it's worth it to YOU. Think about how long you'll have it, and whether you think you can get $300 of good honest entertainment in the time you plan to keep it to play with all those apps.

Another way to look at it is the divide what you'll spend into the time you intend to keep it and wonder to yourself whether it's going to bring you that dollar value of entertainment per day over that period. And then to look at alternatives like the Cowan S9, a Zune HD, or a Droid phone with a ton of apps.

This article seems pointless to me. Why does Fox News think it's important to basically say "Masturbation feels good and you shouldn't feel guilty about it". That's my summary of the article for those of you who don't wanna read the thing.

Although I hate the Red Sox but it's great to meet an overpaid celebrity sports star and no I'm not being sarcastic. When he picks up one of the bags...

"What the...what do you have in there?" he said

"Couple of anvils,"

"WHAT?"

After finishing carrying the bags and luggage into the trunk of a cab, Beckett was complaining about his pitching arm being numb. Anyway we left in good terms, I think...

Too bad he's pitching tonight, I hope Cano will be okay after what happened that inning.

15 minutes later the OP probably realized it was only a homeless man who thinks he's Josh Beckett when he noticed all his underwear was missing from his bags after getting to the hotel.

The End User License Agreement (the clause that makes it illegal to modify commercial software, hardware and the like) is all but unenforceable, so the argument for open source is mostly null and void.
I'm no good with computer programming (I barely know the basic command line), so I'm not really one to talk.

I really think one can't very well exist without the other.. There's a lot of overlap in the programmers I think. Plus the open source world provides a great environment for people to make something great that might otherwise not have happened. While the retail world can recruit the best of such individuals and others to make truly amazing things and make a career out of it.

I think we can all take a page from Shareware's beginnings when the programs could just be downloaded and then you pay what you feel like.. (Read Masters of Doom) When people can get something free, they will rarely if ever, pay for it. Demos/trial versions/serials basically saved Shareware.

Anyone ever met or consider themselves one? I'm talking about people that are basically like, "If it's not open source, it's crap." without giving other software a fair shake.

I didn't know they existed until I met a real live one recently. I myself use a Mac desktop with a hodgepodge of software both GNU and retail alike. I run OS X but I basically just use what works best when it comes to apps. And I use a Zune so I have a virtualbox install of XP.

This guy's constantly "EVERYTHING SHOULD BE OPENSOURCE!". For example, he thinks GIMP is a more superior program than Photoshop (gimp is nice, but it's no photoshop) simply because it has a GNU license with barely any actual experience. Just goes to show you fanboyism exists even in the opensource world I guess even though you wouldn't expect it there.

They're all my favorites! ... Once they're melted down to make something useful like a building or some railing.

You're a troll. You're ignorant to put Death Metal, and screaming music in the umbrella of "Rock". You're even more ignorant if you can't find anything good under that umbrella you've made for yourself.

There are genres that have nothing like Emo. But I assure you the real rock and rap genres are teeming with genius and to not notice it you must have a head enclosed in cement.

Rap and hip-Hop artists are more lyriccaly gifted.

And dont even get me started on that complete garbage you people call Death Metal.

This is my opinion and im sure plenty of Ng,ers dont like rap as equally as i dont like rock.

This is for Discussion and nothing more.
