I dunno... I installed Linux and ended up with two desktop environments, three word processors, four web browsers, and a whole bunch of image editors, system utilities, file managers, and other stuff.
And it still took less disk space and less memory than on windows.
Ultimately this would be quite a loss for humanity, since the value of gold is something of a popular delusion, while the value of rocket fuel is more in the nature of objective physical fact.
This is one of the most ridiculous things that I've ever seen on/.
Perhaps you'd like to explain this one in detail.
Carl should have pointed hit famous "baloney detector" at himself.
I especially like the "scientific" opening to Cosmos, "The Cosmos is all that is, or was, or ever will be". Nice science Carl. Atheistic philosopher maybe?
If you want to get your kids interested in the universe, introduce then to the Creator.
trivial but patented VFAT technology that is only useful for interoperability
interoperability is not trivial.
You need to work on your reading comprehension skills. VFAT is fairly simple (clever maybe). It was not designed for interoperability. It's interoperable because it is simple and widely used.
the never-ending quest to prove P. T. Barnum's adage
I'll give the author a pass on the libelous misattribution, and just point out that Barnum did not take your savings or your mom's Social Security check. He promoted a lot of hokum, but he took your fifty cents and sent you home satisfied.
I think that you're a little confused. The adage that was being referred to is the famous quote: "There's a sucker born every minute." Whether he actually said it is another matter.
The original intent of the FCC legislation was to protect the reception of TV/radio broadcasts and to prevent the safe functioning of electrical equipment.
Unless you have a better explanation, one that fits into a naturalistic framework as that is the framework within which science exists.
That is not a statement of fact or science. That is you trying to force your philosophical world view on the rest of us. There is absolutely no reason to believe that science must be practiced in a "naturalistic" context. That is simply your presupposition applied before you enter the ring.
The word science simply means knowledge. So quit trying to force your beliefs onto the pursuit of knowledge.
P.S. I know that slashdot is a hotbed of atheistic naturalists, but I spend time here anyway.
The other day I was trying to explain this so someone with regards to dual booting Windows and Linux. If your windows machine gets infected and the attacker gets "root" access. Your Linux machines is also completely at risk.
In other words, root access (whatever that means for whichever OS you use) means TOTAL CONTROL of the computer.
This person was under the impression that Linux was safe, even when the other OS might get compromised. WRONG!!!!

Which is why I still program in Forth..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forth_(programming_language)
One is a word and the other is not. You figure out which one is which.
You're use of the word "genious" is brillant.
Your use of "you're" is also brilliant!!
Thanks for the laugh though...

Million-to-one chances crop up 9 times out of 10.
That's because 93% of all statistics are made up.
... Linux is weird. Linux is not normal. Linux is what "different" people use.
I resemble that remark!!

I think tabs should be smack dab in the middle of the page.
Isn't it a bit computationally intensive to calculate a "smack dab"?
Seriously, is it ever possible to not patent every single fart that you think of?
That gives me an idea....
This is the kind of technological marvel that future societies will be looking back in awe of.
What they won't be in awe of is our grammar.

You forget about the Linux server market, where Linux is number one, ......
Wow... that's quite a surprise that Linux is number one in the Linux server market....

you do not reduce because it isn't a real decimal value.
Perhaps we should replace the dot with a slash? (couldn't help myself)
I'll be here all week....
I dislike the term "Internet Fraud". Fraud is fraud, whether it was conducted on eBay or at the local flea market.
I agree totally.
It also a lot like "hate crimes". Crime is crime. The "law" in the country has gotten completely idiotic.
The original intent of the FCC legislation was to protect the reception of TV/radio broadcasts and to prevent the safe functioning of electrical equipment.
Boy, was that a bad idea!

I'd mod this up if I had the points. Flames behind a fork would look really stylish... although now you've got me thinking of Fondue...
Let's go with it.... FondueFox.... got a nice ring to it....
What upgrades has ubuntu had to X that may have made it faster? Is it using Xorg 1.6 or something?
Yes, it is using Xorg 1.6
Let me know when it is as usable as Debian+e17.
Yes, it is.
You're welcome....

Stop ruining our Microsoft bashing with sensible comments.
Here at ./ sensible comments are generally frowned upon for any topic.
Can't fault someone that contributes man things.
If he'd produced woman things, would you have thought less of him?
