The Holy See is committed to standardizing on linux on both its mobile and desktop applications. The pope was once overheard summarizing his opposition to the war in Iraq as "Make Install, Not War."
That makes a lot of sense. I've been known to call out the Lord's name while compiling.
I cannot believe that they had the balls to begin with saying:
Ha, the joke is on you!
I'm not a Dreamhost customer, but now I never will be. Fucking up is human. Fucking up and then telling the customers that the joke is on them is.. is... I don't even have a word for it.
We experience cordless phone interference in my building. I had to wait for my neighbor to finish complaining to the police about our underfloor neighbour's music at 23:00 before I could order pizza last month. As that was an unusual hour for either of us to be using the phone, we started talking (in person, not on the line). It's a good thing that I got the larger pizza because the two of us finished it before the police arrived. That's cooking time, delivery AND time to eat.
I've seen seven non-Windows machines in four years in this country. They were all owned by foreigners. Four belonged to me.
Are there any large, English-language websites in Korea? I'd like to visit them in Firefox and then write to the webmasters with the problems I encounter. Having the web OS-neutral will be the first step in solving the problems that you describe. My own country was not too different until about two years ago, and I've been actively contacting webmasters for about five years demanding OS- and Browser-neutral websites.
I encourage you to write to them as well. If they don't hear from us, they won't know that there is a problem.
I see this as pretty big news. Little-known Linux house gets purchased by Intel. They didn't stand a chance of getting bought by MS, Google, or any other powerhouse. Now, the little Linux vendors will be looked at in a new light. HP, AMD, and will start taking more notice of the little Linux vendors, and that means that VC's will too. This is great news and presents new opportunities for Linux startups.
How will this help Intel? Since when has trend-setting _not_ helped Intel?
The experiment was conducted on an aircraft that provides zero gravity for periods of only 30 seconds at a time. That might not be a problem for you, but most people would be left unsatisfied.
Are you kidding? Just _thinking_ about 0 G's gets me off.
Despite the ridiculous claims of the article (50% of all page views are on an internet - as determined on the back of an envelope? And this is newsworthy?) most page visits are within the internet.
Maybe the author is a Comcast customer. Running wild on those internets is getting pretty expensive from what I've heard. Better to just browse your own intraweb where the bandwidth is free and IE8 displays pages just like Frontpage intended it to.
Well it passes Acid2 now (as long as it's hosted at webstandards.org)
My '72 Fiat can do 300 KPM and 0-100 in 3.6 seconds, but only on my private track where no one can see it. On the street it behaves like any other '72 Fiat so far as the layman is concerned.
I see a market for "secure" phones where the data part of the data/charging port is disabled unless you plug in a key or type in a code. Many companies will gladly pay for such a device.
So long as the data port is not playing double duty as the charging port, take a screwdriver to it. That's what people in sensitive government jobs to the cameras in their cellphones. In Israel, it doesn't even void the warranty under most circumstances.
No, I haven't. When it's available for Ubuntu let me know.
What's that you say? I should install Windows so that I can have IE so that I can view broken webpages? Or better yet, install a compatibility layer so that I can install the two-versions outdated IE6 against that software's EULA (I have no Windows license, remember) so that I can view broken webpages?
IE Tab is for people who want a woman with their current girlfriends clothes, yet with their old girlfriend's diseases.
You must be new here. Seriously. Go read the Hans Reiser post. People are often modded up for preachy, glib, and obvious. If all three it's almost a sure thing.
I really cannot believe that glib is a word, I had to look it up. My English is not perfect, but it's rare that I mix up Gnome dependency libraries and real words.
Unbreakable ring on breakable finger has a very bad failure mode.
I have it from a very reliable source (aircraft mechanic) that a fighter pilot on his base made the dumb mistake of going up with his wedding ring on. When the flight was over, he slid down the ladder like they all do. The ring hung up on the ladder- along with the finger in it.

Wow. Thanks for the info, though.

you killed my father. prepare to die?
That's actually a Hans Reiser misquote and misattributation.
Some cultures discourage the act of having sex with your entire family.
How do they know who my entire family is? And why mine?

I really, really should know this but...what's the music in the video?
In the comments of TFA it links to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Carnival_of_the_Animals
Why is this news?
1) This is entertainment..slashdot.org
2) You must be new here.
3) It's better than the slashvertisement three stories back, though to be fair there was some M$ bashing two stories back.
If "Mentos" is "the freshmaker" and not "the freshmakers" then yes, the singular form is "Mentos". I suppose that the plural would then me "Mentot".
...and more fun too, or so I'm told.
I know, I was being a smart ass.
So, how does one exactly go about dialing a number without leaving a trace on the phone?
Maybe put on a glove?

Have you tried using the IE Tab Extension?
No, I haven't. When it's available for Ubuntu let me know.
