There is a very easy way for the Democrats to win the presidential elections in 2004. I came up with it myself and I am not cut-and-pasting.
First, we have somebody high up in the Democratic party leak a rumour that Bush is going to fire John Ashcroft during his second term, because all of the insane terrorist witchhunts, covering up the breasts of the statue of Justice, singing "Let the Eagle Soar", and so on ad absurdum.
Next, of course, Bush will respond to the rumours by saying "Of COURSE I'm going to keep Ashcroft!"
So only design for Moz and Opera. Internet Explorer does support its special "VB-Script", as well as some other great "Features", so you can do cool stuff like this!
Linux, or "Linus' Operating System", has some interesting properties. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Minix, however. It's a separate protocol that is bootstrapping off of the Minix name to do things like get on Slashdot, and everyone here is falling for it.
Characterizations of Minix a simple, old operating system reflect a woeful ignorance of the many innovations that have emerged from Gnutella. In fact, much of what Linus' Operating System calls "Linux" are innovations developed on Minix itself. These aren't simply close copies -- the protocols he cites are, in fact, Minix protocols. There are many more innovations happening on Minix as we speak, and the highjacking of the Minix name by Linus has weakened the fabric of an otherwise strong and open development community.
We should all support open operating systems by supporting Minix. Linux offers interesting alternatives, but is no better than the work currently occurring on Minix. What's more, few if any Minix developers will ever support Linux because of the divisive way that it was introduced, permanently fracturing the Minix community, with almost all of the Minix community still working on Minix because they were never told of the so-called Linux until the first release came out, much as we're seeing today.
If you support open protocols, support the original Minix. Linux does not solve any problems not currently solved by the original Minix operating system. It simply creates division.
Hey, I agree with you on the Chii thing. I've gone looking for anime wallpapers, and whenever I see a picture of Chii, I think "that's just wrong" and I move on to the Magical Snow Fairy Sugar (which is a real anime) section. I mean, I watch Di Gi Charat and Card Captor Sakura and all sorts of other cute junk, and I've never seen the characters posing like that.

Easy win!

This will be a rather hard codec to propagate, given that many people don't even know or want to know how to install XviD.
I'd have to say the game that most affected me is Global Thermonuclear War.
Debian is not just a Linux distribution. It has actually been available for GNU Hurd for quite a while now.
Why the hell would I laugh at a 1.8GHz processor? My home computer is a 333MHz, and I am typing this from a 400MHz.
The RIAA called, they said you were speaking out against Digital Rights Management...
Oh, great. Make new superheroes. The comics readership can't have too many of those, right?
More like: "Oh, you are using Lycoris/Linux. Can't you afford to pirate a copy of Windows?"
Or use Dillo, like I am doing right now :)
This isn't funny at all. The jokes have gotten worse and worse as the day goes by-- I hope this is pit-bottom.
Ah, well, at least I got my point across.
Quit whining about the name and fix up your lousy network.

The dub is excellent? Sounds like Cartoon Network will have to re-dub it, then...
What else can I say?
Holy SMEG! Singing Fish rocks! Thanks for the tip!
It's just scary.

At least now we can be sure the computers won't rebel.
Most bizarre headline of the day...
Which would make Baer, IMHO, the real "father of videogames".
Now you're going to flame me for my numerous typos :)
Slashdot is chock-a-block full of duplicate articles -- it's [sic] purpose is to incite pointless comment pointing out the duplicate.
Slashdot's purpose is to provide duplicates and articles of little interest-- if you want to discuss them here, your story will get rejected.
Slashdot is phenomally popular because it came first.
Kuro5hin isn't, because it didn't.
You may think your argument makes sense, but it doesn't, and is totally WRONG.
Why not just piss off back to your diary and rant unnoticed about Kuro5hin and "it's" intellectual ways.
