Well, the car is jet-powered. As you may know, jet engines require large amount of air to operate, that's why they work better at higher speeds, and don't work at all outside the atmosphere.
To get this large amount of air into the engine, you need to keep the front side of the engine open. It's not hard to imagine that the more open the front side is, the more air will get in, and the more efficient the engine will be.
So, for years, engineers (you know, people who build engines) have tried to build jet engines to be as open as possible. Traditionally, this was only limited to the literal sense of the word "open". However, in recent years, when the word "literally" also begun to mean "not literally", they started exploring other, less literal ways to make the engines more open. So when jet engine engineers heard talk about Open Source, they thought it's about making the air source more open. And here we are now, with jet-engine-builders trying to get more into their engines by using open source.
IE 9 puts IE back in the game with Firefox and Chrome.
Today, I tried using it for the first time. First I tried downloading Firefox, which came as a corrupted file three times. Then I went to download some other free software and the SourceForge download page crashed IE. Fortunately, it was just one tab, but still, why does sourceforge.net crash a browser tab?

But it is something that matter!
It speaks about how even low IQ people crave electrolytes.
There, fixed that for you.
FTFY

Gimme safe, gimme cold, gimme reliable fusion power!
I don't know about you, but I can download most new games for free _before_ they become available for purchase in my country.
Does that include GPU drivers?
Goatse.
mbzfzts is not a word !!
Not yet, but now that you mention it, it might just become the default Linux filesystem some day.
I think he meant monopoly money. :-D
But Canadian dollars are worth even more that US ones!
It's not for presentations.
Besides, every time I read Sophos I think of Sappho.
Cause y'know, despite the arrogance, we geeks do have our pop culture, and love to bring it up like all the so called unwashed masses. :)
I always thought we were the unwashed massed. You know, because we resist brainwashing. And also that showering thing.
Next time slightly alter the presentation to make it look incompetent
For most PowerPoint presentations, that is accomplished without making any edit to the original.
Unfurtunately, most PHB's in the audience don't notice.
It is "one exaflop" and "1000 petaflops". FLOPS still meanst FLoating point Operation(s) Per Second. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLOPS
Yes, it is, it was in a virtual machine. Still, Firefox (once I downloaded it from Linux and copied the installer over) worked just fine.

What's wrong with Yaourt, and do you know a better option?
No, I feel corrected and (now) informed. I also feel surprised that as a physics student I've never heard of such a thing.
No text processor is good with 100 pages full of pictures. Either split it up to one file per chapter, or learn Latex.
Of course, "Made on a Mac". I mean, where else can one find a reality distortion field strong enough to make a portable fusion reactor?
Didn't they use to claim how Firefox and Linux are insecure?
I guess some really smart general figured out that going to war is too much fuss when you can simly buy out their food.
I'm still waiting for it to happen, and I'm not holding my breath.
Because as we know, companies in the mobile phone market never sue eachother when they're already involved in a dozen lawsuits already.
I just wonder which competitor of Apple would have the reason, reasources and lack of morals to secretely fund a lawsuit against them. Ummm...
Or Yugo's.
Now that you mention it, weren't Yugos and Windows marketed with the same line: "Where do Yu want to Go today"?
