At least you dont have to play football on Rust-Oleum Field.
A school near me just sold out completely,
so I don't care if Rust-Oleum makes fonts look better, I know for a fact they don't make a football team better!
Chicago2600.net more than a lifestyle, its a survival trait.
Are you insane! Linux is going to overtake Windows in a matter of years!
Only if you define "a matter of years" as "never".
The comparison between vi and KWord is total bullshit. One is a word processor, one is an editor. I don't think everyone should use vi. I think I should use vi, but what the hell do I care what everyone else uses?
These retarded old sysadmins never code anything for you regular joes because they're not regular joes. Once they've got vi, they don't see the point in creating anything else.
Why shouldnt it be used by everyone no matter how technically minded they are??
Because it's way too fucking hard to get working. Look where you're posting: an article about a fonts HOWTO. It's this kind of insanity that's keeping linux down. Leave us crusty old vi guys alone.

I'm just curious as to the Mods thinking here?
There is nothing inherently safe about liberty. That's why so many people died protecting it.
No apache 1.3x and perl 5.6x support to top it off. No perl 5.8 is not source compatible with perl 5.6 code. It is %90 but thats not good enough in alot of situations. My college text "Perl how to program" by Deitel & Deitel has many examples that will not compile properly on rh8. I tried it myself. I believe most of the problems have something to do with the new scoping rules for variables since that is what perl 5.8 complains about the most.
How about cgi support for apache2 in redhat 8? Redhat 8 does not even install mysql by default and installs the more postgreSQL utilities by default since redhat database uses postgresSQL. Mysql support is lacking in this version since alot of perl servlets use mysql to retrieve and store information.
No Java 1.3x support. Hell no java 1.4x support either! Licensing issues have got in the way.
I am not bashing redhat and causing a flamewar per say but rather just stating that redhat is not for everyone.

Anyone can piss in a pool. The ability to taste it and say "Yuck!" does not alter the fact that you're swimming in piss.
I know this is off-topic and whatnot, but... wtf is this signature supposed to mean? Is it anything like the old saying, "A spoonful of shit added to a bucket of ice cream gives you a bucket of shit?"
I write in my journal
Funny you should ask considering the sucking up I did in the parent...it's as much of a post that I saw a few (weeks? months?) back that I could squeeze into 120 characters. It's about open source. The full (paraphrased) post was something like Anyone can piss in a public swimming pool. The ability to taste it and say "Yuck!" does not alter the fact that you're swimming in piss.
The point I took was that having the source to a crap program means little.
Writers imply. Readers infer.
Step 4) Profit!
