I was running Mozilla 1.0 in 2003 which actually had the first usable pop-up blocker. I had read about it in the Washington Post and installed it immediately. I first heard about Firefox when it was still called Firebird. I have a Camaro, so the Firebird name means something to me. Anyway, I set it up with an icon of a cool Firebird pulling a wheelie off the starting line. If Mozilla had set up a marketing campaign with GM (Firebird == fast), it might have been profitable for both and set up a really interesting car analogy. We might have also gotten our F-bodies back before Pontiac bit the dust.
Your 12 oz can of the original teeth rotting standard, Coke has about 38g of High Fructose Corn Syrup in it. If you keep it to one, it is actually not that horrible compared to the following:
PF Chang's Crispy Honey Shrimp == 7.5 cans of Coke
Outback Blommin' Onion == 7.5 cans of Coke
Baskin-Robbins Large Mango Fruit Blast Smoothie == 5.5 cans
Cheesecake Factory Bistro Shrimp Pasta == 5 Cans
PF Chang's Sriracha Shrimp Salad == 4.5 cans of Coke
Macroni Grill Chicken Caesar == 4.5 cans of Coke
Panera Bread Italian Combo Sandwich == 3 Cans
Average rice serving from a Chinese restaurant == 2.5 Cans
You might notice that these don't appear to be junk food and you might think some of them are actually healthy. But if you are diabetic, you would be better of eating ice cream. If you keep it a scoop once in a while, it is OK.
These are only a small sample. There are many more without getting into desserts and milk-shakes, many which can break the 2,000 calorie/200g sugar thresholds.
If you are diabetic, stay away from sit down restaurants. Most of what they serve is basically poison to a diabetic. You are actually better in a fast food restaurant. They publish nutritional info and McDonald's even has diabetic exchanges available in the restaurant. You can even get a decent meal there: A burger, a side salad and and an unsweetened ice tea
I have a website dedicated to Linux games. I have a WINE section which includes tips for running games under WINE. Basically, if I can beat the game in WINE, I'll put it on my website. I only have 2 games right now, Fallout and RCT2. Any more would be appreciated.
You might be if you were on this flight. I am pretty sure everyone including the pilot had to clean their drawers after this one. In your small photo it just looks fake. In the big one, you can see the water skiing set up, so it looks bat-shit insane. Figure water skiing at 120+knots and if you fall, oh well - game over.
And Linux use has dropped from a high of 2.5% in 2004 to a rounding error this year.
This might be true if you count the O/S that is installed on the student's laptop. However, most students also have a phone. And most students these days are buying smart phones. If is not an iPhone, it is probably an Android which of course runs Linux. And for those of you who think "Its not really Linux unless you can drop to a BASH shell", you might want to check out one of these bad boys.
Here in DC, we have Slug Lanes. It is informal, not run by any government which is why it actually works. Essentially, commuters wishing to use an HOV lane pick 2 people waiting at bus stops or parking lots so they can. So as a result, you do actually get cars off the roads. Of course, if the government managed it, it wouldn't work.
I am not sure what this article is about, but this original link still works just fine. Oddly, they only have laptops and netbooks for sale, no desktops.
Many people ask why buy a preloaded PC with Linux when you can get the same one with Windows for the same price. I have 2 reasons:
All the hardware work with Linux, so even if you don't like the distro installed and want to install Slackware, you know your shit is going to work. Posting this from a Ubuntu dell purchased the day they were offered.
Money talks. Every PC you buy preloaded with Linux encourages more Linux friendly hardware. More hardware, more Linux adoption, more games, etc.
Jamendo would be a good place to start if you are a new artist. The best new heavy metal artist I have seen in the last 20 years (Holy Pain) I found on Jamendo. Given that Jameno is the default music "store" in Ubuntu/Rhythmbox, it gives you a lot of exposure.
The weird shit is that my mom always use to tell me to thoroughly cook pork so we don't get Trichinosis. Meanwhile in those days I had no problems eating raw ground beef. And chicken - don't get me started there... I never seem to hear anything about contaminated pork these days....
Your printer probably does. A lot of network enabled printers and copiers ship with open telnet ports with widely known root passwords. This has been around for a while, but pwning Windows boxes is so much easier.
I know many people with Iphones, Ipads and Ipods, nearly all of them love the devices but hate Itunes, using it as the only option available to them.
Itunes is not the only option and at least in my case not even an option at all. The latest version of Itunes does not even recognize my 4 year old nano. On the other hand, Rhythmbox recognizes it just fine and gives me more control over managing it. I can drag and drop individual songs from the music library of any computer I have and mix and match songs any way I please.

You do know that most of the bicycles we buy in the US are made in red China, right?

One of these might.

When I started Open Office for the first time after upgrading Ubuntu, it had the Oracle logo on it. Truly evil.

Head explodes!!!!!!
Damn - where are my Mod points? Oh wait I do have them, but you are already modded +5 funny. Oh, well..

or ... KABOOM!!!!
There is one. Go to pygame.org. The games this thing can produce are awesome. Happy coding!
I have my computer set to say "Just what do you think you are doing, Dave?" when I reboot it.
Didn't they have this with Slartibartfast and the Planet Krikkit videos about 30 years ago?
A few weeks ago, they did remove the "I'm feeling lucky" button and replaced it with "Insert Coin". Shut our whole office down.

I thought that was the "B" ark ship....
I thought we were. We reliably convert coffee and donuts into Powerpoint slides and meetings.
