How did you get to see it? Typing in "London" in its search, does not find the captial city of Great Britain (pop 7,421,228), seemingly too minor to feature.
Well if you don't agree with me, then do get in touch. My number (in the UK - figure that one out, if you can, moron) is +44 191 296 6012. (see, I helped you there).
It's interesting that you'd say that slashdot is anti-bush. Given that people who read slashdot are probably more educated and more able to form a free opinion, and would probably agree with any anti-bush rhetoric, then what part are you having a problem with.
Are you saying that morons are pro-bush?
Surely, that would be unconstitutional. Why, we ought to have some sort of patriot act against that!
I don't mean to be petty here, but is there a case for treason here? After all Bush has single-handely made every American the less safe when they travel abroad - and has therefore put American Citizens lives at risk.
If causing the potential danger to occur to Americans isn't treason then I don't know what is.
Please do not say things like "the UK is Bush's most vocal ally". Most people here hate the Bush - it's only our stupid leaders who are buddying up to him.

Can you imagine it? The scene: Real HQ - the players: CEO Rob Glaser, Marketing person M1...
Scene 1: The office
Rob Glaser (for it is he!) - Our sales are dropping off - we need to be number one! M1 - Let us set up an itunes knock-off site, and try and get the unwashed masses to buy our stuff rather than itunes by enlisting "community support" RG: It's cunning, it's fruity, it's the vogue - let's do it!
Scene 2: The same office - 3 months later RG (face pale with continued dropping off of sales) - You know M1, this hasn't been as great as I'd expected M1 - Yes, you know what would be a great idea to support our strategy of enlisting the great unwashed masses? Well let's go on some hip website and offer ourselves to answer any questions they like? RG - And what would that accomplish? M1 - Well we can amaze them with our strong rhetoric about bringing down the evil corporate masses - that's bound to increase sales! RG - Hmmmm... OK then
Scene 3 - the office, 30 minutes later RG - Why is everbody posting questions asking why we are so evil and why everyone hates us? M1 (exhant, stage left!) RG - M1? M1! This is awful! We are doomed!
You have the option to report "Factual Errors". I'm sure you can spot a few. But please, be brief, be concise, stick to the point, and above all be accurate.
As far as servers, at work we run 3x(dual 500 xeon 1GB RAM) one for pdc, bdc, and exchange
This is just the point: You have to have unique servers for anything in Windows. One server for IIS, one for MSQL, one for Exchange... Blah, blah...
Unix can handle all of these reliably on one box. And you don't reboot if you want to install a new component/modify a configuration. It just works!
The time this saves me alone makes it worthwhile. Add the cost of the hardware not required, and even my boss is convinced.

The Year 1000

Millenium fever did not really exist, in the same way, as not everyone used the Gregorian calendar. The Julius calendar was still in fashion, for all it's problems. But, those places that recognised the millenium -did- have problems with doomsday cults and other such stuff.
Not surprising that not many people used the Gregorian calendar in 1000. It wasn't created until 1582...
People may not be aware of this, but the Sunday Times is just another tatty Murdoch rag. It quite oftens runs stories that later turn out to be untrue (Like that particle accelerator making a black hole underneath New Year).
Please don't assume because of the name that there is an iota of truth in this. You wouldn't believe everything you saw on Fox, would you?

Not being infested with Spyware is precisely what users care about.

Shame that it is. At least in Germany: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/11/23/firefox_a
Yes - because what the world needs is one more wiki implementation.
The tease here, of course, is that that was Tony Blairs number. But it's no longer working anyhow.

I look forward to your message.
Is it a bit like that film, where the stewardess is trying to land the plane?

Oh well, bollocks to the lot of you then.

Was that so hard?
But Microsoft have already beaten us to it with
'F#' [research.microsoft.com]...
I do understand that - but I do still code CSS and HTML in vim. It's what I learnt, but each to their own.
I write in pure HTML - why would anyone want to do otherwise? Oh hang on - wrong thread!
I write in pure HTML - why would anyone do different?
Er, this instead So that's what the preview button is for.
