Steve Jobs parked in Handicapped spaces and kicked old ladies?

What's wrong with that? Toilet paper was introduced in 1857, and we still use it :p

 And we've been using the even superior method of washing our arses since ~600CE.

[nicholas]

AND wiping with your left hand, after all, you shake hands and eat with your right.

Well I tend to use a knife/fork/spoon myself but that is correct.

Thankfully we have soap these days too. :lol:

[nicholas]

So what do you do with the spoils once you're finished spooning or forking your rectum? Deposit it in the toilet? Put the cutlery in the dishwasher?

The cutlery is for eating as opposed to using "the right hand" as Iggy suggested.

We wash our arses with soap and water using the left hand after taking a crap, likewise our genitals after urinating.

The smell on public transport from the unwashed sh1t smeared arses and p1ss stained underwear is awful, especially during the summer months.

I don't think the smell is noticed by those dirty unwashed people though.

Computers are now consumption devices, be it tablet, laptop or desktop.  Most people just want music, facebook and pictures.  But it was the same thing with the automobile or any other piece of technology.  I know people who do amazingly creative things with just an iPad and people who do nothing but gaming on 8 -12 core behemoths.   I know the reverse too.  Computers are ubiquitous.  We don't even think about them now.

+1

Computers are now no different to any other tool.

OK...now we're down to arguing who figured out how to wash their asses first.
I didn't mind when this got personal, because I'm pretty resilient.
But this is getting a little silly.

BTW - Wouldn't it be nice if the Arabs and the Iranians both got back to the noble ideals they maintained in centuries past?

Don't mind Persia Jim, he's an Aryan Supremacist and there's a lot of it about.

[nicholas]

Maybe you don't. I do.

Personal computers maybe.

[nicholas]

Yeah, but wouldn't you still use paper first to remove the worst of it? Wipe until there's nothing visible on the paper anymore, and then wash with water and soap?

Nah, the bidet blasts it away then we use soap.

Amiga.org: Always off-topic since 1997.

I think I'll go with the paper :lol:

 :lol:  Just make sure you wash it after mate.

No one went to the moon in 69 (ever?), I don't have links but google plenty.

 This parrot is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late parrot. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies. It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot.

Java is a perfectly fine language. Unfortunately, it's a perfectly fine language that's chained to a terribly crappy runtime library and VM... :/

[nicholas]

Precisely. In order to make it usable, Google just wound up throwing out everything but the language and building their own alternative from scratch. That tells you a lot about the library and VM, I think.

Indeed it does.  It's wore bizarre really because it (the library) doesn't really provide anything that other libraries such as Cocoa, Qt or .NET provide yet it's a slow as molasses, bloated steaming pile of crap compared to those.

Welcome to to the concept of cause and effect.



He might have been, I don't know, I'm not a Christian... But I honestly couldn't care less what Steve Jobs was or wasn't. I'm arguing about the importance of NeXTStep in the history of computing.

Had Apple not bought NeXT then NeXTStep probably would have sadly faded into irrelevance like the Amiga, BeOS and Plan9.

But we'll never know.

One day I'll give ObjC yet another chance and it will finally click into place and I'll begin to love it. Maybe.

Steve Jobs was a dick. So are the CEO's of every other Fortune500 company. That's what makes them the best at what they do. There's a very fine line between successful CEO and Sociopath.

Oh come on, you don't know what 'big melons' means? Sure you do. Now, what is implied by 'juicy prunes'?

Hemorrhoids obviously.

[nicholas]

Unfortunately, thanks to a local Gay owned donut shop called "The Fractured Prune" that is what comes to mind if "juicy prune" is mentioned.
But I don't want to piss off Thorham.
"Juicy peach" would have worked.
Man, I'd think we were way off target, until I remember that I've likened Jobs and a prune to the same thing

We aren't too far off topic as Jobs was a cnut.
