Well, around here we use the term "fag", and only use the word "faggot" in response to queries: "Oh it's a short name for faggot"
The queries e.g. "Fag? What does that mean?", oddly enough, come from a bunch of middle-aged business people, but I suspect they wanted to go for the cheap laugh by baiting me with it. And they get me, every time.
This is a bad example in your list, as they are nothing new.
They are still available these days, as they were in the 70s. Usually not for sale. Typical monikers for these devices that do not charge directly for their operations are "girlfriend", "boyfriend", "mistress", "husband" or "wife". If in need you can always try to rent them, this version is often called "prostitute" or "hooker", though in many countries sold under euphemisms as "escort" or "masseuse".
This post is not a recommendation of their use, particularly not while driving. While their use may have a bad effect on your fuel usage, the main concern is safety.
If you flip the other sunvisor down on your next car rental, it's all there, in bold print. No diagrams, though.
Dual head video card will simplify setup, definitely by a mile
For b: you want to check out that your BIOS will allow a grafix card to work *together* with the onboard one. Or get an older gen card, I managed to get an ATI no-name dual head (one VGA out+one DVI out with VGA adapter in case you don't have a DVI-capable screen yet) for like US$35 YEARS ago from an OEM expo/fair. ATI7000 series, ancient but capable.
Notice your wind chimes are silent? The first night was marked by tying them with monofilament...or floss, depending on the ninja skill level. Besides, those things are annoying.
The design of the cable with electrical conductors on either side reaching all the way up to geostationary orbit is, of course, left as an exercise to the reader.
That's it, gents: I hereby declare the death of the car analogy. From this point on, we shall now use, If a hot chick walked up to you...analogies, to broaden the appeal of slahsdot discussion forums to a much wider, possibly younger demographic. Hopefully they are from the tech crowd as well, but not from digg.
Agreed, I'd prefer that input combo (keyboard+mouse+touchscreen, and optionally wacom tablet) in a multimonitor setup.
Going against the nyah nyah crowd in the cheap seats here, a keyboard AND mouse always forces you to sit your arse down in front of the computer, which I'd rather not if I only happen to be picking songs to play or videos to watch. The keyboard and mouse are awkward from a standing position, especially say if you were preparing something in the kitchen (Yes, get out of your basements). We're not saying ditch kbd+mouse here.
Yes the eeePC as mentioned elsewhere is pushing linux in the subnotebook area, but it certainly won't hurt to have it here too. But it shouldn't be simply replacing mouseclicks with fingertips, it should be done smartly too, like iPhone's pinch. So don't just slap a distro on it, make it worth the time and trouble by adding some more, or else we only took it a baby step further from its windows version.
where my tabs ought to go? Why can't I pick the location, or not display them at all?
Come on, if you're going to make a browser, leap frog the competition. Don't do these incremental updates; we have IE8 for that. (Yes, I mock, because they are worthy.)
that sells androids, or leases them for housework and menial tasks such as xenomorph elimination, offworld mining and/or colonization, or act as overlords (with whip and monocle to match) for some particular breed of basement dweller, my lawyers would have to meet with Google's about other names that Google could come up with, to name their application.

That's because in this inner circle, we all know it's pronounced with a long i, as in Gympe. iPod, iPhone, *sigh* do I need to go on?
and the green Matrix 3d screensaver?
Oh, wait, that's not a screensaver!
I better start practising my delivery of the lines
"Back off, pal. She's with me."
Didn't realize it would become a netbook requirement.
time to switch to Linux, go back to the web interface, and change passwords?
Well, desktop Linux has to come one way or another. Haven't you guys heard of guerilla tactics?

Damn.
Martha, where's the remote?
Did you get the webcam to work with Mandriva, I'd like to find out. And if so, what model netbook are you using?

It'll be the same guys installing IE4Linux.
Those sick, twisted guys.
THe poweroff button emits an EMP so not only does it power down the Cray, it shuts down the surrounding city.
can install Aero on Server 2008 with 3 chicks with its Server Manager.
Almost bought Vista for that misread alone
Considering their track record on software, I sincerely do hope they coded an 'else' to the 'if reply=y' in that block of code.
It's a trap! You don't want to work for a boss that reads /.! They'll know you're jagging off on here calling them a jerk all day!
You left out ....
Meanwhile /me sends out 2 separate emails with resumes attached...while competition blinks and wonders if the term 'Inconceivable' applies...
Can't emphasize this enough: Don't ever, ever tell her that after slashdot, you also browse freshmeat. Ever.
It will *end* your problem, but not in a manner that I would describe as "pleasant".
No, cool would be having the phone ring and the voice on the other end turns out to be Dennis Hopper:
Pop quiz, hotshot: your network's all screwed up! What do you do? What do you do?
The question is why one would use this program?
The timing couldn't have been more perfect. I have these 4,000-odd clips I need to save from this website...

Considering the depths this thread has gone to, did you misspell streaming on purpose?
You mean Microsoft finally has the hardware to make Duke Nukem playable after all these years?
Stick to software, guys...

Whew! 2 out 3! Almost became a hopeless loser there!
