btw, has anyone here seen the Anime it's from? I thought it was pretty bad to, actually Yup, seen it, and I have to agree that it sucks. Just like the game. =)
Did it ever strike you that there might actually be _lots_ of kids around here (you know, those who "discovered" linux a couple of months ago and know they believe it's the best thing since sliced bread)

RIAA Sues MP3.com

Most adults I know, and most serious music collectors I know, realize MP3 for what it is - piracy, So I'm pirating when I copy my entire cd collection onto my harddrive? (yes, I do have my entire cd collection on my hd, that way I don't have to change cd every 5 minutes or so)
USB, joystick, mouse, keyboard ports in front; video, parallel, serial ports in back. USB and joystick ports on the front are understandable, but personally I prefer having mouse and keyboard ports on the back (it's easier to have the cables out of the way)
There's one thing both of you missed, what if you run into a large group of well armed people who decide that they want your car?
In such a case you wouldn't have much chance of survival on your own.
Therefor I would suggest gathering a large group of people and getting an 18 wheeler, and arm it with anything you can find! (Kinda like the infamous cocktail party in the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy =)
Most harmful of all is the message that Microsoft's helicopters have conveyed to every goose with the potential to kill in the truck industry. Through its conduct toward Netscape, Pampers, Compaq, Coca-Cola, and others, Microsoft has demonstrated that it will use its prodigious market power and immense hand-grenades to harm any firm that insists on pursuing initiatives that could intensify competition against one of Microsoft's crazy products. Microsoft's past success in hurting such skateboarders and stifling innovation deters investment in technologies and snowmobiles that exhibit the potential to chase Microsoft. The ultimate result is that some innovations that would truly benefit dogs never occur for the sole reason that they do not fly with Microsoft's house.
Your points are true, but, the difference is that if there is a lot of outbound traffic from your network, you'd probably just check that noone was running a ping flood, right? Not excactly something that bothers anyone. However, how would you feel if a security guard came up to you and started asking questions simply because your behavior wasn't "normal"??

forget /etc, /var --let's make them forbitten territory, locked out to any user, including root (sorta like /proc)
Please tell me you're joking!

Try left-clicking and _holding_ the button down, when you do so, you get a list of previously visited pages

Now guess why there often are "stable" and "developement" versions of software.

Well nowadays MS sucks, but once upon a time they weren't really that bad.

There ought to be a few "simple" distributions for newbies.
That way all of us that like using complicated console commands can continue doing so! =)

Halleluja!
Finally someone who doesn't think all of these "internet" buttons are great!

Personally I use an old IBM keyboard from '84 (you know, the ones that make _lots_ of noise)

what would impress me is if the supporters of the Mars plan collectively escrowed a large sum of money for a Mars mission.
I'd gladly pay $20! =)

YES! Finally it'll be possible to build elevators like those in the hitchikers guide to the galaxy =)
