Well, there was that picture where Ballmer was in such a pose as to be holding a very large spherical object...
And of course, some genius added the caption, "And we used to eat big balls! Really big, huge balls!" or something to that effect. Hilarious, but I cannot find the image now.
Read the followup linked to in the post. Another person had nearly the same problem, but instead just kept getting disconnected and got a 502 upon trying from the website.
I'm not exactly sure of the specifics, but I do know that mosfet had a falling out earlier with the rest of the KDE developers.
He's done some cool stuff for KDE, but from what I heard, he appeared to not work well as a team and could possibly have been a hindrance to KDE's progress. This is mostly what I read from KDE's other developers.
Mosfet took his code and began developing separately from KDE, and KDE developers allegedly began forking his code, sometimes even claiming that mosfet's code was forked.
He then had some trouble with FutureTech, but that's not directly related to the KDE team at all.
So, that's what I know. Basically some stuff I've read from mosfet, kde developers, and 3rd parties.
Dennis's selection of OS/2 as "dead horse that needs to be shot one more time" was not any expression of hate for commercialized software or anything not linux.
Honestly, how many people still use OS/2? Sure, it was a good concept, and from what I hear, it worked very well. But even the people that I've talked to that used OS/2 religiously now tell me that it's being left far behind, and they can't keep on using it because of their advancing needs.
Now where's the stereotypical-linux-zealot-hate there?
Wow, check out dep's responses... what a weirdo. I just get the impression of a pissed-off-grumpy-old-man from him. But I think I'd like to see him take the 7Up challenge..
"So, Dennis, which do you prefer, 7Up or the rancid milk?"
"Well, at first I thought 7Up of course, but the rancid milk has some really interesting tang to it..."
For some reason, from the beginning there was confusion about the iPod's capacity... you may remember in the initial article on/. and then even the slashback, a lot of people were mistakenly saying that the iPod had a 5gb hd.
I know this wasn't the topic of the post, but in case anyone's curious..
A KT266A does not need a cooling fan.. I've got a Gigabyte GA7VTHX + XP 1600+ (1.4ghz), overclocked to 138 bus speed (1.45ghz). Everything still runs great, and fast as hell.
Remember the alpha Linux AOL client that was posted on/. quite a while ago? There was a binary rpm which was supposed to be exactly that, an alpha AOL client for linux.
I installed the RPM, and it definitely looked like the real thing.. I even tried logging in, but of course it told me my screenname wasn't authorized to logon.

No, dude, you're mistaken by the images he's always had on his site. No, I don't know what's up with those either.
Btw, Mosfet's real name is Daniel M. Dudley. Does Daniel sounds like a chick's name?

If you think that one's bad, check out mosfet2.jpg.
And the weird thing is, the dude's got m4d skillzZz, but he claims he likes these images!

For a while, I wondered why your subject was "Offtopic".
Then I realized that anything mentioning TMNT within the last 8 or so years would HAVE to be offtopic.
Oh man, it's hilarious how he can't pronounce he 'T's. "Hi, I'm Chrischopher Lowell!"
So I'll be ok if i search google for 'local drug dealers contact info price lists' ?
So put someone in the movie who you claim is Nostradamus.; It ain't like any of us know what the hell he looks like anyway..

I dunno dude, these weirdos may have a different interpretation of "slower machines" than you and I.
dep's quote: "I admit that this is on a low-end machine, an Athlon 1.2-gig with 768 megs of memory and a G-400 vid card with a paltry 32 megs."
Wow, check out dep's responses... what a weirdo. I just get the impression of a pissed-off-grumpy-old-man from him. But I think I'd like to see him take the 7Up challenge..
"So, Dennis, which do you prefer, 7Up or the rancid milk?"
"Well, at first I thought 7Up of course, but the rancid milk has some really interesting tang to it..."
And, of course, he'd probably answer "yes".
Yes, for the reposts "here and there". It's just too bad every other day isn't "here and there".
On Taco, on Hemos, on Michael! Post those dupes!
For some reason, from the beginning there was confusion about the iPod's capacity... you may remember in the initial article on /. and then even the slashback, a lot of people were mistakenly saying that the iPod had a 5gb hd.
So, that error may be more common than you think.
So what happens when you walk into a store and your gift card crashes?
So let me get this straight: Nothing much to say, just wanted to make that three of the same statments in a row. Wow!
That reminds me of the joke where the guy wanted his own personal 7-inch Pianist... and the genie was hard of hearing. Of course, hilarity ensues.
You mean _fortunately_ it's only for Solaris and HP-UX.
Dude, what the hell is up with yout fF's?
Eh, my gateway's PS fan starts making a racket occasionally.. just give it a good whack on the side, it'll be ok.
Maybe this means I should replace the fan... it is a P90 after all..

And, of course, there is no fan on the chipset.
Go grab some DynaMat. Check out their site, I was surprised to see they actually have a "computers" section.

If an NT server crashes in the forest, will anyone give a damn?
