That's what I was going for with the battery comment -- on the assumption that the battery is the most important difference between a hybrid and a conventional car, as far as potential environmental impact. (Anything that's in common doesn't really factor in).
Is this supposed to make sense? Do you actually know what a hybrid is? With a hybrid, the only thing that goes in is gas. Less gas consumed per mile, less emissions at the tailpipe, how could that not be less emissions? Unless the battery is in some way incredibly environmentally-unfriendly -- but even then, one battery is supposed to last for a few hundred thousand miles.
"You want us to sell you this stuff for $1/dose? You do realize that it costs us $200 a dose to produce, right? You do? Oh, well, it turns out... we don't actually have any. Management said some stuff about a whole lot of numbers and now we don't make that stuff."
Not quite as cult-weird-popular, but there's a place in North Carolina called Dirty Dick's Crab Shack; they have billboards all along 95 that says "I Got My Crabs at Dirty Dick's". I hear they have T-shirts too.
For a web browser, there's Konq/E, or you can back up the copy of Opera on the original ROM. As far as remote stuff, you can do the X thing, or VNC. Don't know about rdesktop, but it's maybe there.:)
I used to have a 5500, and I thought it was pretty sweet; I enjoyed being able to write and run perl on-the-go. Then I broke the screen. Oh well.
What Zaurus? I haven't met a Z yet that wasn't able to run OpenZaurus, which nowadays gives you the choice of Opie (Qtopia but free), GPE (a GTK+ handheld environment), or TinyX. The only major caveat is that if you're running on a 5000D/5500, and I think maybe the 6000, then you're screwed for SD/MMC support.
Come on, now. I don't like it any more than anyone else when the government runs my life, but ICANN is one bunch of slobs that I wouldn't trust with a water gun. I don't see any reason for slashdot to have its feelings hurt so much:)
Way to be about seven years behind the times. The OSD is courtesy of the Open Source Initiative and serves as one of the best expositors of what "open" actually is. Before it was the OSD, it was the Debian Free Software Guidelines, governing what could and could not be included in the Debian main distribution.
Wow. Not only will the changeover "produce, bring to pass, or cause to be" a lot of TV sets, but it will apparently "produce, bring to pass, or cause to be" people, too! That's really impressive!
Yeah, sorry, misremembered something. I thought that Qt had something with a "no commercial use" clause on it. As long as it's just GPL, that's alright.
Don't just make shit up. No, it's not taken from one particular license that I know of, and it's certainly not from the GPL; the GPL doesn't contain the words "field", "endeavor" or "endeavour", or any form of "discriminate."
Well, it certainly doesn't comply with the Open Source Definition. "No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor" and all that. So the development tools themselves are certainly not "free".
It does, you know, actually support Athlon 64. However, it doesn't support a chip that you can't actually plug into the board, for obvious reasons. Checking for socket compatibility is pretty much the first thing you have to do, and that's been true for at least ten years.
I dunno, Absalom, Absalom! is pretty close. It's got some of the longest sentences recorded in modern English. No real shortage of punctuation, just sentences that change direction five different times before they get back to the original point -- if ever. See for example the first sentence:
From a little after two o'clock until almost sundown of the long still hot weary dead September afternoon they sat in what Miss Coldfield still called the office because her father had called it that -- a dim hot airless room with the blinds all closed and fastened for forty-three summers because when she was a girl someone had believed that light and moving air carried heat and that dark was always cooler, and which (as the sun shone fuller and fuller on that side of the house) became latticed with yellow slashes full of dust motes which Quentin thought of as being flecks of the dead old dried paint itself blown inward from the scaling blinds as wind might have blown them.
For various reasons, it's more likely that DS9 would be "right" on this matter; in any case, in late TNG, and more consistently in DS9, he's represented as being a Chief Petty Officer, and DS9 consistently says that he's enlisted. So either write the Rutledge bit up to a lack-of-foresight error, or assume that the junior tac position is one that could be filled by an NCO.
As mentioned in another post, this is a Fermi condensate, where Fermions are "those things that aren't Bosons". Fundamentally different and potentially nifty.
Actually, I'm reasonably sure that an ancient version of it does, though you probably need an X server. Maybe with Qt 4 being free on windows, as it appears it will be, KDE will pick up on windows. Or maybe not. It doesn't affect me all that much.
Yeah, 150 is just about right. Just when they were finally unifying on a standard gauge. Groups like freedesktop.org and OASIS are working on making it possible for people to make their own software choices, and still have their software interoperate with the rest of the world. It's about as close to win-win as it gets. It doesn't matter who builds your sleeper cars, as long as they hitch up and roll.
Hello? "Or"? You just repeated what I said. You're part of the tiny minority who's willing to pay money for a tiny improvement over what's available for free. Or, in the case of Headlight Software's GetRippedOff, for hype and misinformation.
Well, this is certainly no special feature of NeoOffice. OpenOffice is slow, unresponsive, poorly integrated, and visually out-of-place on every platform:)

I thought that "Iris" recognition reached its peak with the release of City of Angels.

That pretty much covers it. Tear it apart, see how it works. That's been the way to "hack" for at least 50 years.

When was the last time you saw a can of Burma Shave on the store shelf?
Oh, they're still around. It's just that these days it's the Myanmar X-treme Shaving System Gel.
You're not a Nazi; you're just Chock Full o' Nuts.

Yeah, I prefer "Rundll32.exe has experienced a serious error and was forced to exit" myself.
