Other licenses allow you to take code improve it, and then redistribute it in proprietary walled gardens that may restrict who can use it. Nah... It isn't a garden, its more like a castle with copyright lawyers guarding it.
The reason they licensed it under the MPL is so that it could be used in proprietary software. It is OK to call it "open source", but it is not "free software"
I agree. I never had a video-game console when I was a kid. I played computer games, but I spent much of my time around the age of 10-13 learning HTML and PHP. I got bored with computer games during that time, except for SimCity 3000 Unlimited and Civilization III. Those games were seriously addicting.
ODF (let's make it any office document format) and (X)HTML are designed differently. Office document formats have specific features meant for what they are designed for. XHTML is designed for sharing web pages, and not for office documents. XHTML isn't designed for holding tremendous amounts of information, office document formats are.
There are a ton more reasons, but I am too lazy to write now.
My favorite bugs as features are the old Netscape multiple- feature and the Doom silent-jump bug.
The Netscape multiple-<body> technique let Web page designers insert more than one body element, and color them each a shade lighter, so it would appear to cascade. It was removed from the next version.
The Doom silent-jump bug allowed Doom deathmatch players to silently fire the BFG-9000 at someone. Due to a limitation in the game engine, if you jumped off of a ledge at the exact time you fired the BFG-9000, only the sound of the jump would be heard.

I have one also... Where is Waldo?
Yeah, well, wouldn't it be good to blow up the Moon? I mean, we could end women's menstrual periods for good!
I thought the golden rule was to treat others the way you want to be treated. Which in this case, counts as well.
You forgot one:
Just where is Waldo?
Actually, he's a giant penguin.
Ok. You can mod this offtopic if you want, but how come servers just melt when a website is posted to Slashdot, but no one ever RTFA?
It will certainly help computer repair services and shops. Watch them get a surge of pursetop repair requests every 28 days.
Just format drive C:. No more of this 'spyware' business you Windows users speak of.
Wow. An anorexic laptop. What will they come up with next?
I know, an anorexic OS! It would hate to hog memory... OK, that was pretty lame.
In Soviet Russia, laptop slims YOU!
Ehhh... DEF CON is early this year g2g BYE!!
But does it run Linux?
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these!
I live on Earth, you insensitive clod!
OMG PONIES!
Finally, a place to keep all my pr0n!
Finally! Enough space to install Windoze Vista SuperUltimate Edition with SuperBloat64 and added memory mismanagement!
Since this is Slashdot, most people here would probably figure out a way to harness the energy released by photosynthesizing plants.
They have no lives for a purpose, people...
That's the dumbest fucking idea I've heard since I've been at Microsoft.

You've been watching too many Sylvester Stallone movies.

This is what Apple tried to do with the Pippin.

So clever. She tried to use black rubber bracelets to mask her wrist slits. It's OK, lady. You aren't the only Mac user out there.
