I also recommend you learn the second half of the alphabet. Or Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. Or both. Notice how they're different?
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full.
Q-R-S, T-U-V,
And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.
Now I know my A-B-Cs,
How I wonder what you are.
Nope, they sound the same to me. Sure, some parts are changed to shoehorn the different lyrics in there, but it's the same melody throughout.
Planning is one of the worst handled things in OSS, "it is ready when it is ready". That, my friend, is an insult to the customers (users).
Letter found in glove compartment of crashed car:
Dear loyal customer,
You will find that this automobile has no brakes, as they will not be ready until next week. We did not wish to insult our customers by delivering our product one week late, and hope that the inability to stop has not inconvenienced you in any way.
Yours very truly, Auto Manufacturer

Don't buy metal-clad laptops you dip-shits. Use your brain!
How is encasing your laptop in a brain supposed to help? Wouldn't it be messy? Mmm... brain-clad laptop... chewy on the outside, crunchy on the inside!
I'm not an audiophile by any means but I've found that close to 100% of the audio I hear during the day is not only lossless but has perfect fidelity and a frequency range well beyond what my ears can detect. It is, of course, unfortunate that the majority of that audio is the sound of my computer fan next to me.
You're lucky if it's producing audio beyond the range of frequencies that your ear can detect. My computer's fan seems to be using most of its energy producing audio right in the middle of the most annoying range of frequencies that my ears can detect.
I need my own personal orchestra.
I think a lot of Slashdot readers are their own personal orchestra...
But audiophiles want to know that their $7000 cable is better than the $5 lamp cord. An ABX test will only tell us that they're diferent...
(And I've actually seen that as an excuse to not bother performing an ABX test, showing that even though they understand the theory behind the test, they still managed to completely miss the point.)
IME, Audiophiles only hear the flaws. What a sad, sad, world they must live in.
I've always wondered how they operate in the real world (that is, away from their precious home or car systems), where nearly all audio is lossy compressed and/or has less than 16kHz or so of frequency response...

You can pay for it and get a version without the ads. And I hear Opera 7 will have a Bork edition!
The episode where Al's dirty socks power an alien attack force was on my mind when I wrote my comment...
I'm pretty sure my feet are producing harmful emissions right now...
I think you have that wrong. This one requires 4 quad-core video cards and 4 8-core CPUs just to get 30fps at the lowest settings...
What about stupidity?

Yes.

How do you know the Earth isn't really a big giant Petri dish that someone is using to test evolution right now?

Isn't Bell still a part owner of CTV?
He's running for President, and therefore must have a couple of screws loose.
Is that the guy who got us mandatory seatbelts in cars? If so, I might vote for him...

What about Gimli's father, Glóin?
That's okay. The toy will also have more fun playing with the box than it will playing with your kid.
If they're a government contractor, I'm sure they're anything but poor...
Yeah: "Paul is a dead man. Miss him! Miss him! Miss him!"
Could be. When I listen to birds, all I hear are warbles and chirping sounds.
