Yes! There should be religious tests for public office and citizenship! Finally someone who gets it. Don't believe in god? Then Bush I and John Adams and Ridglift think you shouldn't be a citizen. God bless their souls.
One thing he failed to mention is that some of the newer terminals are butt slow. For example, a simple test shows that gnome-terminal is 4x slower at updating (measured with ls -1R in a big directory hierarchy) than xterm. I know this is likely because of utf support, but since I really don't need utf (if English was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me), I just stick with xterm. Now if only they man page authors hadn't broken all the man pages so that I have to 'alias man="LANG=C man"'.
Also, the keyboard shortcuts for changing the font size you get with xterm don't seem to be there in gnome-terminal. I don't respect any terminal that makes you move your hands from the keyboard to do something useful.
Haven't used konsole, don't like waiting 8 seconds for my apps to start, how does it measure up on these metrics the story author neglected?
An decent editor will allow you to do word completion or define an abbreviation or something. I wouldn't type that in more than once in a great while in any "case".
Definitely. Why should Tim Barnards Lee get to com along and fuck up the intranet with all these new domain names? Am I the only one that thinks if.com was good enough for our parents, it should be good enough for us? Even microsoft has settled on either.com or they're new standard.NET. All these other new domains. like.biz and.info and google.com are just johney come lateley that missed the internet revolution and are now trying to caching in on some of the dot com paradigm. I don't know who this Tim B. Lee kid is, coming in and trying to change our internet with his new email schemes and web addresses. I'm all for freedom, but this character should be banned from the intranet.
I admit, I sometime make fun of sigs. That's what they're there for. That accounts for a definite minority of my posts, though. I also like to make fun of people that come here, notice the definite interest (call it slant, if you will) in linux and FOSS, and then stick around bitching about that fact. We all need an outlet.
I remember you precisely because of that. Get a Bashdork subscription and look through your expanded posting history.
I'm not giving a dime to this piece of shit website. I remember you because you're one of my "Freaks". That gives you a special place in my heart.
At least I looked at two days worth of article blurbs. You didn't do jack shit except spew some unsupported, "inflammatory, FUD-ridden crap". I don't need to support your unfounded claim, do it yourself.
And if I'm a "person whose main passtime (sic) was to make lame comments about other people's sigs", then that contradicts my memory and my available posting history. That's par for the course for evidence in Bungi-land, though.
OSDN has a website whose sole purpose (it seems) is to publish misinformation on Microsoft.
I just looked through the last 2 days of stories, read about 30 blurbs but not the full story, if applicable, and damned if I can't find much to back up your bullshit claim:
1 mention of MS word in story about Mac trojan. Appears to be non-inflamatory
1 possibly trollish article on the Tocquerville report. Blurb doesn't slam MS.
1 implied mention of deficiency of pop-up blocking in IE
Wow, for a website whose sole purpose is to spread misinformation on Microsoft, the editors sure post a bunch of tangential shit about rockets and apples and telescopes and privacy and taxes and hybrid cars and all kinds of other shit.
Sure, there are lots of MS-bashing comments here, but there seems to be a fair number of MS-apologists like yourself, too. You, them, the GNAA trolls, and all the other fucked up regulars make this a fun place to visit. Keep up the good work.HTH
There are 2 types of slashdot readers, those who have seen this little math gem a million times and no longer think it's amusing, and those who haven't. The second category is comprised of 1 user with retrograde amnesia.
I heard on NPR this week that while diesel engines are much cleaner than they were 15 years ago, they are still much dirtier than their gasoline counterparts. The NPR story talked about how several automakers were hoping to sell more diesel autos in the US, where penetration is on the order of 1-2%. They compared this with Europe, where much higher gas prices and looser emmision standards make the diesels more popular - around 40% of consumer autos, IIRC.

Good for the consumer, or good for the vendor, who you rooting for?
No, I don't really run XP on a K6-2
Thank you, i'll be here for the next 7 days.
Same as raping a woman is theft.
Same as trespassing on private property is theft.
Same as killing another is theft.
Same as slandering another is theft.
Same as punching an Anonymous Coward in the throat is theft.
Welcome to 1984.
I don't download music, I like the shiny CDs I buy from a multitude of places. And no, copyright infringement isn't theft, ass face.

The NPR blurb also said diesel produced much more carbon monoxide. I'm doubting you're knowledge here, just reporting on the reporting.

I am not reactionary, you god-damned son of a chicken-pedophiling asshat. If I ever kick you, I will meet your goat.
Why?
Psedo-random data is infinitely compressible.
As a resident of Seattle, I welcome moderate and immediate global warming. Thanks go out to all you CO2 spewing consumers out there.
Thank you captain obvious.
I vote with my fists, and if I ever meet you, I'm going to elect you dead.
