You might also want to mention the etymology, that is, that the word derives from Sisyphus in Greek mythology. He was the dude who was assigned by the gods to push a rock up a hill only to have it roll back down and be consigned to do it all over again. Great stuff and more fun than the Christain myth, although the earlier hebrew myths are pretty fun.

What a flocking crock of shite. Are you people all on glue? Who gives a flying flock of seaguls if the guy posts pseudo-anonymously? We all do this right? Isn't that right, Mr (or Ms. or Mrs.) Boinger?
Sometimes I just don't understand this fucking world at all when assholes like George W. Bush can become president by worming his way into office and yet the common behaviour of an editor at LinuxToday somehow commits an idictable offence.
Notice what database and web server that link pointed to? I did, and I doubt that I need mention that it was mssql and iis in this forum. Nope, no need to go there.
Just because support is there does not mean that it is necessaryily a good thingTM. The reiserfs in 2.4 is very good. Very good at corrupting your data. True its boot times are very small. And it is very good at corrupting one's data. Did I mention that your data is probably corrupting as I type if you're relying on reiserfs under 2.4?
Regardless of your being a smug bastard with your ugly Mandrake distribution.
Did I mention that all distributions are for weiners? All real geeksTM always install their own distributions from tarballs.

I wonder if he snuck in the back door for this one?
Don't you know who I am??!!?? I'm JonKatz for godz sake, fsck the MPAA!!
If they really wanted to get our attention they'd be sending us gas coupons, or something like that, since we are a collective bunch of morons who figure freedom comes from sitting alone in our planet-destroying vehicles and they'd most likely figure that any civilization who hadn't figured out how incredibly stupid fossil fuels are in this context all deserve to die anyway.
Boy, that paragraph took a turn. I wonder were that came from? I guess I'll have to think about it when I ride my bike to work.
I'm going to jump on the bandwagon here and declare that JonKatz is a m*r*n.
Another tidbit, that he failed to note, is that the writer of Jurassic Park III, Alexander Payne, is repsonsible for the script of two of the funniest American films in recent years. The remarkable Citizen Ruth (an incredible indictment of the entire Right To Life AND Right To Choose movements) and the above mentionned Election, with the adorable Ms. Witherspoon.
This alone is reason enough to sit through the film and listen closely to the dialog, not something, I fear, that the ignominous Mr Katz seems to be capable of; at least not in the context of the sometimes fine art of film review.
Now, if only we could find out to which multiplex he went so can inform the management of his dubious boasts and boliting.
Face it. The only people who love java are java programmers and sun execs. The rest of us fairly cringe everytime we see that 'Loading java applet' message. And ever single java program I've ever downloaded has not done much to encourage me to take the time to download and install the JRL just so that I can find that it's a butt ugly interface, and it crashes ad nauseum.
Java's like that first girlfriend in high school. She was hot when she was 16 but now that she's past it she's a bit of a scrag.
In fact, as much as I hate M$ and Windoze, Win2k is a pretty stable desktop operating system (as long as it's behind a firewall and you don't use outlook [express] or IE.) This version of the OS comes about 10 years after the first release of NT, which was its most relevant progenitor. Of course, this being Micro$oft who feels that they are the only necessary contributor to anything to do with comfuters we have a few years of polishing to the NT5 codebase before we reach the 10 year milestone.
This also applies to the plethora of useless upper management, which is more of a problem, IMHO, than the occasional prima donna coder. Of course, I'm one of the latter, but some day I hope to be one of the former.
Guns are clearly designed to be a lethal weapon; however, there are many non-lethal and justifiable uses for guns, so regulation is contraversial.
Bzzzzzt. There are some non-lethal and justifiable uses for guns. The problem is that there are way too many pig-headed lunatics who oppose registration, and all of them have an arsenal of weapons.
If that doesn't make you uncomfortable then you're obviously armed yourself.
I'm going to get flamed for saying software isn't an actual thing aren't I?
No actually, thanks for saying it. I've been wondering for 20 (or is it 30?) years whether there's any tangibility to this commodity for which I have been personally responsible. In those more transcendental moments I fear that it is all nothing and that makes me fear for poor Bill Gates.
Ironically, 98% of computers within the TVA were found to be running Microsoft Windows '9x, NT or 2000, all of which have been found to be susceptible to security threats from without. No comment yet from TVA Inspector General, Richard "bigmeanie" Chambers.
I vaguely recall (most Rambus stories go in one ear and out the other for this reader, as with most/.ers I imagine) that the RDRAM bus is severely limited compared to DDR (??)
Then again, maybe that's just FUD. Tit for tat then, eh Mr Litigious Rambus Bastard.

Beware the power-user. Believe me, the ones who know a little, are by far the most problematic.
