    I was going to download this using Mozilla Firefox, but Microsoft told me it would be faster downloading, and it's returning a exception. Too bad I wanted to use it.

    PDT - is that Pre-Download Tension?

    I'm sure it's building up here. Some geeks might have to take the afternoon off work because of it.

    This is Slashdot really listening to its visitors. People complained that Slashdot was too slow in its reporting, that Reddit and Digg were always ahead.

    Well no more, now Slashdot is so fast at reporting the news that it reports before the news happens. Suck on that Reddit!

    Flameware sounds like a great name for some forum software.

    He means people who still wear onions on their belt because that was the style then, and they'll be damned if they look for something new.

    the poorly documented, brain-damaged Mork history format

    Let me clarify something: it's not brain-damaged; it's braindead. Even the original author claims as much (specifically, it's the "zany" serialization it used to use)!

    This is slashdot, the same website that looks down on people who don't want to switch from Windows to linux, become proficient with the command line or learn console editors like vim and emacs. Yet these same crybabies then go on to say that it will take them 6 months to adjust to a glorified text box.

    I love slashdot because I love the irony.
