"Another inanity: The U.S. is the only country in the Western world with a fair use doctrine in copyright law. That means that probably time-shifting is illegal in every other First World country"
Typical "ignorant American" bullshit. Might I suggest you ditch the 'hearingaid' and use your eyes to read up a little before posting anything else that illustrates how vaccuous your opinion is?
Students now are learning about the vi editor for the same reason that students for a long time had to learn Latin, because it is a tradition.
I'm afraid I have to disagree. I held off for 5 years on learning vi/vim, because it scared the shit out of me, but I bit the bullet recently and bought Steve Oualline's excellent Vi IMproved - Vim book on the subject.
The first seven chapters alone have speeded up my coding already - that's less than 20% of the way through!
Yes, it takes a huge leap to learn it but, unlike latin, I have yet to find a *nix machine that doesn't speak it's language:)
One day I aim to do all my coding in Vim. that may sound weird, but the time savings I will be able to make will be huge.
"Using spellcheck on Slashdot is like visiting a homeless shelter, and whipping out the fine china"
Why? Do you think homeless people don't appreciate quality? Or is it because you consider them beneath you? Hmmm, I think that sig says more about you than I need to know.
A friend of mine registered 'webabuse@', 'technicalsupport@' and a few other 'possibly confusing' addresses with one free mail service - and they didn't notice for 2 years. I think he had a bit of fun with those:)
"Note all games will be categorized with the systems they run on"
Jeez, give the guy a break. Typos can slip in easily with a collection that big. And if you're gonna spend 20k on a collection, I'm sure you can afford to go check it out in person first.
In the last year or so we have seen a tremendous escalation in the quantity and size of political protests against globalization and the rising power of corporate multi-nationals. Do you believe that these people have reason to be concerned? If you do believe that they have reason for concern, what steps would you take as president to deal with their concerns?
Shrub:
"... The violent protests in the streets of Seattle also reflect the Administration's failure to build a domestic consensus in favor of free trade. In fact, this is the first administration in 25 years to fail to secure presidential trade negotiating authority from Congress."
wtf?!?!? I'm sorry, maybe I'm a little stupid here, but does any of this answer the question? Essentially, is he saying that Clinton failed because he couldn't brainwash everyone into thinking "Free Trade"?
By not answering the question, I assume he doesn't care what protestors think. Grrr.
oh yeah, and assume all nerds are under 18 as well, while you're at it. At least i assume that's what this is about? School stuff? Relevance to geeks? 0/10
Zone alarm is a gem in windows - free, easy to use firewall that has caught at least 2 rogue programs on my machine.
It won't catch everything (calls through the IE interface, whatever it's called ?!), but it stops most things - no, my DVD player is not allowed to talk over the net to those 'PC friendly' people.

So it looks like email has it (just) with 53% of the 'market'
