Being intelligent alone doesn't make you moral, sociable, or even wise.
I personally find this situation disgusting and hold sympathy for Kathy Sierra. I know how someone changes after being abused verbally like this, and I wish I didn't. It's a crime, and if it isn't, then it should be. I believe we should find those responsible and bring them to justice. Anything short of ruining their careers and social lives (if they have any) is probably not enough.
Mac OS X: Not another Linux... the geeks are out-reproducing us! OpenBSD: [angry] I'm not Linux you freak! Why is everyone always mixing us up?! [leaves room in tantrum]
Windows XP: What's security? Windows Vista: This wouldn't happen to me anyway, I'm the Most Secure OS (tm)! Mac OS X: I never get any viruses! GNU/Linux: Me neither! Windows Vista User Access Control: You are entering a conversation with flaming probability 89%. Cancel or Allow? Windows Vista: [to Vista UAC] Allow. [to the others] That's because nobody uses you! GNU/Linux: Oh yeah... Mac OS X: That's because only elite people use Mac OS X. Because you're not worth them. GNU/Linux: Wait! Windows Vista, you lie! Lot's of people from all around the world use me! In fact, they even improve me! That's because we believe that... Mac OS X and Windows Vista: [at the same time] Shut up Linux. Windows Vista: [to Mac OS X] But anyway, even if there were a "Security Breach", it's not like they'd be able to mess anything up! Mac OS X: That's because it's impossible to do anything in Vista. Windows Vista User Access Control: [to Vista] You are coming to a sad realization... Cancel or Allow?

You ARE posting on slashdot. Let me correct your statement... Everyone cares about these fabulous corrections and technicalities. Keep it coming, it's really bitchin'.
Yes. 67% of computer "upgrades" (meaning people who bought a new computer or upgraded an existing one) were to Vista. I know this because out of a sample of three people who "upgraded" (me, my mother, her husband), two of them bought Vista PCs.
What? It's not like Symantec did much better with their data...
You are too thoughtful sir. Thank you!
Did I ever tell you how fabulous I think IBM assembly language is? You know, it has all those wonderful registers (yes, all 16 of them, if you count those 4 or 5 registers that you can't use).
Ah well, I should know better than to post on Slashdot with my name about a subject on the eve of that test. If you answer this, don't just answer "Indeed".:) Oh, and I know you're going to show this to class tomorrow. Hi his class.:)
Anyway, enough that's enough of me mongering around on/. for today. Time to work on Calculus. See you tomorrow.:)
Real-time Raytracing (a myth, yes, but a good one nonetheless)
Unfortunately (or maybe not unfortunately), our Computer-Organization professor decided that he'd teach us IBM assembly. It's not terrible, but it's not terribly relevant either. Still, seeing that I know PC Assembly relatively well, I can learn the IBM ASM pretty easily. The same cannot be said of my colleagues.:/

*dons tinfoil hat*
Aha! So that's where it was!
But wasn't it supposed to be rectangular? Oh well, this will do. Just wait till it starts sucking the atmosphere in.
Because Linux is only the kernel, and what most people know as Linux is actually Linux + GNU Programs. So, calling it GNU/Linux is more accurate.
YA RLY!
it's a series of tubes!
But it's definately not a big truck.

I can't see how this could possibly be a good thing...
I'm starting to think that the U.S. Government has the companys' best interests in mind?!?!
Let's change Diebold into Deadbold.
In fact, 4 is likely to be "Sue your employer for buying computers that are capable of burning you, especially when exposed to a security breach."
Unless you live in other parts of the world where suing isn't so easy (i.e. Not America), in which case you were spot-on.Mac OS X: Not another Linux... the geeks are out-reproducing us!

Or you could mesh ten thousand 100-dollar laptops and take over the world or something.
Haiku: Move along...
Sony is failing,
Windows Vista is failing,
Nothing to see here.
I, for one, welcome our new 22-month-old tennis-playing overlords.
Sorry, but that's only funny when you're in second grade. Or when Borat uses it. You fail. :/

If you're a High-school and/or College Student nowadays, you know, just like everyone else, that the computer makes a lot of mistakes.
At least around here.
And seeing that communism isn't exactly the solution we're looking for, let's all convert to imperialism. ....What?!
Are you sure you're not in his class either? :P
Do you have ANY real data to back that up?
Yes. 67% of computer "upgrades" (meaning people who bought a new computer or upgraded an existing one) were to Vista. I know this because out of a sample of three people who "upgraded" (me, my mother, her husband), two of them bought Vista PCs.

but is it Linux-compatible?
...and they have the nerve to call it the most secure Operating System.
Should've been titled "PTO finally says no to a patent after much nagging."

a la Game Boy Camera. It should let you take pictures, movies, and talk online with "friends", and with the ability to talk through Skype.
I think it's a very good idea.
