I have recently become quite interested in Gopher and I got to reading "The Whole Internet" which was basically the first internet book. When I got to the chapter on Gopher, it also mentioned the "Web" and said that:
"Admittedly, Web servers and hypertext editors are scarce; but the potential here makes the World-Wide Web one of the most interesting new tools on the Internet."
As Linus Torvalds said in his interview, the goal is to create a good operating platform. It may not slay Microsoft, but it will develop. Linux will improve, and even if it doesn't beat Microsoft, it would at least compete with Microsoft and send them the message that they have to improve their products and be more competitive (not in a monopolistic way, but in a quality/price way). The consumer will only gain from this, and in a way, this is a victory. Linux is not a company that can stop production; even if the mainstream people lose interest, development will continue, because we are not doing it for fame and profit, we are doing it for it.
Also, did anyone notice how only a couple of days ago there was an article about how Linux will beat Microsoft in 3 years?
There is always something like this going around. First of all, I do not see the problem with some computer knowing that person 4352354 with a certain IP is male and Canadian. Anyways, this is largely unjustified because people are basically BORING. I have read people's email (for the record I have not; anything otherwise is false and I only see people's email wheb they forward it to me. Now back to the truth) and I stopped because it is BORING. Wow, this person signed up to the Motley Fool and received an annoying forward from another boring person.
Without getting into the innefectiveness and perhaps uselessness that other people have spoken about, it looks like this should be very easy to circumvent. What I understood from the page is that it looks for 1x1 images from a different site. Changing it to a 2x2 image would probably not do it (although keeping dimensions blank and returning a small image might). All you need to do is set up an image file on your server which basically has "Location: http://www.i.spy.net/paranoia/whatever". They will think the image is on the server, but it is elsewhere.
This Slashdot lameness filter is reeally bothering me due to "junk character post", so here is just a link to a more scientific article just search for "Sheldon Schultz" on it.
Using solar energy means that the sun will have to generate more, thus making it burn out and making us all perish.
Sitting is making the laws of gravity work harder, so they will have to stop soon sending us all out into outer space except for those who grab onto something who will have the joy of plumetting into the sun as the orbits misalign spelling death for everything.
There is no problem with this as it seems that the full moon would have no generate absolutely no energy to turn people into raging lunatics, as it is apparent by today's stories that this has already happened naturally. But we can still fire rockets at the moon for fun to see if it is really made of blue cheese.
Why does everybody always have to make things so complicated?
What's the point of ISPs, or those special internet connections anyway? This is my idea: get a lot of people to put special mirrors on their roofs, and act as relays while everybody shines lasers at them.
Or, a more covert laser communication system is to give every person in the world a number. When you want to transmit that number to others all you do is shine a laser in the eye of the person with that number. They read about it, or see it somewhere and think "Oh, #9457438470 is blind, somebody is sending me the word the" Granted it would take a lot of time and people to send big MP3s or movies, but it would be worth it.
Or if that does not work, just have really loud people yelling out the packets.
But those can phones are still the best.
Something else I'd like to say (offtopic, but don't hate me for this).
Has anyone looked at the different languages supported by Google? By personal favorite is their made up language named "Bork, bork, bork!". Check out Google prefs in Bork,bork,bork for an example. This is my default now
It seems that new (and better) things are caught in a slow and exruciating loop. Few programs so fre people switch, few people so few programs made. Thus one of the most important developments would be really nice emulation of Windows programs and functionality. This would probably break the loop and open the flood gates.

Aaargh. Another minority.
News at eleven: people with nothing to do are complaining about how you see very few aliens on television shows, and how there are no aliens on the various sports teams.
Golf must be stopped, because it favours the majority of beings on this planet and their special bodies and upper arms.
Why aren't there more giant sponge people with no visible brains involved in science?
The oxygen based atmospehere is partial to only certain beings and discourages immigration from Zandorxis B. Thus the atmosphere must be equalized by adding poisonous gases to it.
PS: Does anyone know how this article actually made it on Slashdot?
Now go away or I shall taunt you with my supreme knowledge of pi
Oh come on! So now you would have to genetically test all of your plants to make sure that they are not patented? What if there some sort of mutation involved? Imagine the precedence that this would set. If patented fertilizers are carried with the rain onto your field, would you have to destroy your crops or pay? We can see where the patent holder comes from with this, uncontrolled use could bring their plants everywhere for free, but couldn't this just be a sign that plants are just unpatentable? Also, Don't most companies genetically engineer their plants to be infertile (or sterile, or whatever the proper word is)? If so, then just wait a bit and the dangerous plants will be gone with no offspring.
It seems to me that by the time they can finish it, enough people would have already switched to other OSs to make it unworthwhile (is that a word) any longer.
How about turning wine into a kernel module? Or doing something with Windows drivers in Linux?
One thing I noticed is if it is a non-business site, why is it.com?
Just of the top of my head, this is how it goes: .com : Commercial Sites .net : Internet Service Providers .org : Non-profit organizations Then the country ones.
I have seen many nonprofit sites using.com and other things like that. I just do not like it
Theoretically this could work as long as they provide a uniform layer between each OS and teh driver, but with the many differences it would result in loss of features and speed/efficiency. Also, I suriously doubt that you would be able to use driver modules (which is a good thing about Linux) because it would be impossible to implement in Win without rebooting, reinstalling, rebooting again, and finally quitting.

Ask them why they say that about Linux
There are many misconceptions floating around about this "hacker OS"
Oops!
I thought it meant the ash shell!

What it used to be,
back in the good ole days
The good ol' days,
Of Nineteen umpty two
Back then, we didn't have any cars
We didn't even have any shoes
Course, we didn't need them cause, we had no legs
We did not see this as a problem because towns were much smaller back then
You could just reach to the left
and you'reat the grocery store
Reach to the right
And you're at the book store
Now with all uv these cars
and ships
and legs
you have to travel all the way to the moon to get a good meal
Av been hearing good things about the moon
I haven't been there, but I have been hearing good things about it
Of course,
I should know since
I built the moon
I started it quite late because first I had to invent oxygen
It was not a very good life before I invented oxygen,
people were not living long
Actually it was I who got the first fish to come out of the sea
But no dinosaurs
I don't like dinosaurs
That's why I got rid of them
As I was sayi
