But, isnt it funny how Win95 had a better average uptime than 98 & 2000, and Win98 had a better max uptime than 2000. Does that mean that MS is getting worse or just that this whole survey is entirely irrelevant?

Sex in Space

Hey, I've had sex in space, and now you can too! All you need is about 3 hits of acid and a willing partner.
All of this international bickering is pointless. My race of giant super zombies will soon destroy you all! Just as soon as I figure out how to disable the serial numbers in their P3 "brains."
Whatever happened to the days when I was a kid and dreamt of the far away year 2000, where I could watch TV in real 3d made up of lasers and holograms. Here we are a month and a half away and all I have to hope for is a Voodoo5! (sigh)
Then again those dreams may have come from my parents putting too much acid in my Froot Loops!
Yes I'm a "newbie" Yes I dual boot Yes I still have that damn Winmodem Though I use Windows less and less it will be a long time before i get rid of it completely. Why? 1. X-wing VS Tie-Fighter 2. Jedi Knight: Dark Forces2 3. Rougue Squadron 4. Pod Racer Mr. Lucas, if you or one of your lackies (ewoks, droids, whatever) are reading this beware the MicroDark side!
First let me start of by saying that I am a "newbie" (though fairly intelligent.) Yes wizard is a bad, bad word. I don't think you should rely too heavilly on HOWTO's/FAQ's. While they can most times answer really basic questions, individual hardware configurations can create obstacles (like my damn Winmodem and Voodoo2 card!) While these kinds of problems can be worked around and remedied no HOWTO or FAQ can really cover that kind of scope. Sure I can get Glide for Linux and a very good 3dfx Howto to go with it, but that was greatly complicated by the fact that I had to download it with IE in Win98 and then copy to my Linux drive. Though I figured it all out on my own (and learned a good deal in the process) an actual person to whom I could ask questions would have been a great help. And I know what you're thinking: why don't I just buy a real modem? I'm cheap, ok.
I thought MaximumLinux was a good way to expose what Linux is to the masses. When I saw a magazine on the rack devoted entirely to Linux and published by the same people as MaximumPC(my personal fav) my expectations were pretty high, and I wasn't exactly disappointed. And as a "newbie" I didn't really learn much from the issue directly, but it definitely pointed me in the right direction in many areas. Heck, before reading that issue I had never heard of/. This isn't strictly a tech mag as much as it is a wide variety of all things Linux. I thought it was a pretty good premiere, and we'll have to wait till they have things a little more established before we condemn them. The thought of 650 megs of free software every 2 months, without the countless hours of downloading, is enough to keep me excited.
If you thought the TotL labs site was interesting, then you should try their other site: www.microsith.com. A Star Wars themed Microsoft parody complete with Jedix Myths and Planet Exploder 5.0 screenshots. Just check it out OK!
Umm, would it help if I say I'm sorry? Whenever I get a funny idea something comes over me and I lose all control. I didn't mean to spoil your surprise. I know all too well how much that can suck!
But when I stop and think about it, hasn't poor Chewy suffered enough without being attached to a bad Clinton joke?
Forget about the treason! I just read over in a Yahoo! chat room that Clinton also ordered the hit on Chewbacca. It seems that since the Empire has been destroyed the Alliance is now going after the Democrats.
I have heard rumors that Episode 7 will have strong WCW/NWO tie-ins, and that Episode 8 will be mostly hard core porn. (When 900 years old you become, get laid you will not, mmm!) And it gets worse from there. I have heard that Episode 9 will be directed by Joel Schumaker, the same guy who ruined the last Batman movies. But I have also heard rumors that Episode's 7-9 will be a series of Fox reality shows. (The Galaxies Stupidest Jedi, When Ewoks Attack, and Psychic Inter-racial Gay Droids- A Jerry Springer Special) If any one has any information about the possible truth's of these rumors, please let me know.
Okay, everyone get of Lucas,s case! How much did YOUR last sci-fi movie make? If you don't like it, then do better.
cheap ... low performance ... obsolete ... Linux?

$200 Linux PCs

Thats it? For $200 I can buy a computer that's about two years out of date? And why are all of these components still sitting around in warehouses anyway? Because they sucked the first time, that's why. So are these companies trying to say that if you want a cheap, low performance, obsolete computer then you should get one that has Linux? But then I guess most computers are purchased today soley to get on the web, and how much processing power do you need to keep up with a 56k modem? Umm, do things even come with modems?

So if I could just build a machine that would cut off the South of their grits, we'd finally be rid of you damn southerners?
I'll be right back, I've got to go see Mr. Whoopie!
Check their site linux.corel.com.
Word Perfest 8 is in there just not in the download version.
But sadly, no Draw yet.

Are you sure you really want to do this?
Are you really really sure?
Are you positive?
Really?
Last chance, are you sure?
This program has performed an illegal operation and will now shut down!
Actually I think the point was that Microsoft is already screwed and can now only make things worse.
Don't we all have better things to do than argue analogies!?
