Now tell me if all, or even a quarter of those are well known... hell half of them don't even have a wiki page, which means accorded to the internet masses, they are less relevant than most Beatles songs
Ok, so I know you were going for sarcasm + troll, but its actually pretty true, because those within the "cult" know more about how its doing than those who are ignorant to it.
Those outside of the "cult", in Sept '09 or something will go "wait, Linux has 10% market share now? whats Linux?"
Granted, im sitting here typing this from XP (with Slackware as part of a tri-boot), and I really have no idea what market share it currently has, but I could easily see a 300% increase (on the Desktop) of whatever it is currently by year end.
I don't think it will really be the "Year of Linux On The Desktop" etc, but I bet it becomes pretty commonplace. (outside of geekdom)
I dont see what that has to do with it, do a search for "american junkyard" or "african scrapyard", etc, etc.
There are millions of cars just sitting around all over the world, and stuff like air-conditioning has been around since the 1950's or so, headlights for even longer, etc.
It's not like we need to create an incubator for every baby born or anything either, there's what, 20,000 or so cities in the US? say, 2 incubators per city, thats 40,000, easily do-able, and a savings of about $1,560,000,000 (provided all 40,000 cities needed new incubators, lol)
Everett's Auto Parts... Everett's recycles over 10,000 cars a year and has more than a thousand cars in stock for you to find just the parts you need. You can even ask us to find those parts for you!...
That single junkyard could do it in about 16 years or so (given that not all vehicles have air-con, working lights, etc), nevermind the other hundreds maybe thousands of other salvage and junkyards in the US, nevermind elsewhere in the world...
You get the idea.
Honestly, i dont really give a damn about the incubators, but the point is its a worthwhile recycling program, plus it uses a relatively small amount of the vehicles, leaving a large amount of other parts that could (should) be used for other things.
Thats sarcasm right?... cause, you know with stuff like...
Police have seized more than 25,000 cars in Greater Manchester since new powers to tackle rogue drivers were introduced last year. More than 10,000 have been crushed.
And thats in "Greater" Manchester alone, which is about 3 million people or so... and that doesnt include just normally scrapped vehicles, or accidents.
Calculate that for various other locations in the world.
Im not sure, but I think it's a left-over, Slashdot used to have a setting for how much/long a message would be before it did that, but they seem to have removed that option, so it was probably just left behind in the configuration somewhere, If Msg.Length > 512 Then ShowReadRest = True except in PHP or whatever.
Some people like to produce, others, like yourself, just suck.
And still others, really enjoy seeing how complicated of a maze they can get out of, making a mod for Fallout, or GTA is fairly easy in comparison, and from another perspective its too infinite, a lot of people like a small, finite, "controlled experiments", where the results are in direct relation to the input, whereas Fallout/GTA/et al, generally have a point and click type design.
Same reason why some of use will fire up an IDE and program a utility we need, and others will just go Google for one they can download, sometimes the means is more enjoyable than the ends.
But besides, even if it is on the rise in "North America"... that doesn't mean the (deforestation) rate has decreased elsewhere in the world, and for the most part, its elsewhere in the world that has the really important (scale/density/etc) forests.
"That must be why I keep killing that friggin process"
Indeed, im generally "ok" with an application that has some background nonsense I have to kill, but "GoogleUpdate.exe" refuses to go away until you delete the damn thing, there seems to be no way of disabling it via Chrome itself.
Pointless comment, but for me its a major reason why I don't use it, the only thing I give them credit for about it, is not naming it some obfuscated nonsense like guu.exe
As long as it is fermented horse piss, I believe the stipulations are: made from grain/cereal and fermentation, and horse piss could cover both of those.
So consider it a beta... I imagine that the reason its still on the ground is a lack of funding to get it up there... its far cheaper to set it up on the ground, and extremely cheap to fix and maintain in comparison, plus when its on the ground you (they) have essential complete control over it, when its in space you have to let other people play with your toy, or be sacrificed to debris...
I highly doubt this is the be-all, end-all of this telescope (or at least the work the people involved are/will do) or any other telescope... if it proves effective, it'l be up-scaled (or down-scaled and perfected more) and thrown up in space unless something better comes along in the meantime.
I don't think Linspire was every really profitable, nor was it ever a "force in the market" this is just about a couple shareholders wondering where the money they thought they were going to get...went...

I find that kind of sad, he was useless, but it was nice to know he was there... just for the odd chuckle when bored.
He's gotta be there somewhere, some obscure keystroke like Ctrl+Alt+Del twice or something.

"All in all they all do it and it's only politics"
Oh i see, it's only politics, just some arbitrary tit-for-tat, as harmless as a checkers game.

Oh... is that what they mean when they say "backsliding"?

flip a coin... or maybe somewhat explosive flames... like a flare...
Math doesnt work, cause even a basic script can interpret that.
Same with basic questions like that, it would deny some, but not enough, some database of objects = color/shape/etc would be pretty easy.
Mixing them may work though...
"If you have 2 trucks, and three ambulances, and 6 motorbikes, how many four wheeled vehicles do you have?"
or maybe
"If you have 3 firetrucks, eight ambulances, and 1 + 1 red Ferrari's, how many license plates do you have?"
etc...
Depends on how charged it is... less than 90% it bursts into flames, greater than 90% it explodes.
