I grew up in Austin, and have a great appreciation for real beer (Bass is my preferred "every day" beer).
Now I live in a small town in central Montana, and while I still like my Guinness, Bass, and Moose Drool, sometimes I'm just in the mood for a Bud Light.
I should be persecuted for having diverse tastes in beer.
Actually, I filled my gmail account a couple of times.
Then again, I was a member of a super-mega-top-secret music ring from another web-log-type commmunity that dumped a gazillion songs a day into my shit.
But once I found the "delete forever" option, all was forgiven.
This might be valid, except a friend's car was stolen from in front of a local bar a few weeks back.
Bear in mind, this car is a mid-70's rusted out Buick four-door. With no radio. Springs protruding from the seats.
It didn't even have much gas in it.
Yet, for some reason, some speed freak decided to jump into this piece of crap and drive it the six or seven miles until it ran out of gas (my friend found the car while walking back from the police station).
No matter how big a pile of shit you think something is, if you don't nail it down, SOMEONE will take it.
A missing finger isn't something you'd necessarily notice anyway.
I'd been working with a girl for nearly three months before her boyfriend asked if I'd noticed her left hand. Sure enough, she was missing about half of her index finger.
I'd never noticed, and I worked with her every day.

Recycled, but I said it before, so it's ok:
The problem's not with the update - it's with the EULA.

Lemme make sure I got this right. A "bulk of IE users" don't download small security updates, but you think they'd get small security updates for Mozilla?
24 hour bugfixes are irrelevant to "a bulk of users" if they can't be bothered to download and install them, as you claim.
> Where you have typical groups of a lot of people?
Most of the larger companies I've worked for have fairly large groups like "Everyone" and "MIS" or "Marketing" or "Administration". Some of those departmental groups can easily exceed 500 people.
>what really is lacking is a powerful toolset and shell.
What really gets me about the Linux defendants is stuff like this.
Somehow it's okay to have to know the name of "abiword" to make it useful in an "apt-get" string, but it's completely unacceptable that you might have to use a Google search (or IRC channel, frequently cited as a valuable resource for information) to find the Cygnus tools. Or even the sourceforge ports of many of the standard shell utilities.

So would this meen the smell of teen spirit is a perfumy roll-on, or the absence of smell?

Er... shouldn't.

Red Hook made their very tasty Double Black Stout (made with Starbucks Coffee - the only legitimate use I've found for it so far) until 2002.

Which only makes sense, since the only PROPER "Six Flags" is in Arlington, Texas.
