1) Suck up all the water from the Gulf
2) Burn off the oil to produce power
3) Ship the cleaned water to Nevada
4) Profit!
So simple, it doesn't even need a ?????? step!
The scheduled delivery sounds kind of cool...course, if I have to walk over to my printer to get it, why wouldn't I just turn on the computer sitting right next to it?
But if you're going to put ads on my paper, you dang well better be paying me for it.
We are comparing a solid, mature framework, built and maintained by professionals, used on hundreds or thousands of sites, with a public bug reporting system to an ad hoc collection of code written by one person
It worries me slightly that someone would send out a letter threatening legal action without even considering whether or not they had the authority to do that.
Every day I try to be a little more cynical, but I can't keep up.
No one should have the right to patent anything used in the medical field. You create a wonder drug that can cure cancer or something, you have a responsibility as a human being to allow the world to use it.
Besides, if you didn't invent it, screw off.
Exactly what I was going to say. Make 'em yourself from a coat hanger and an allen key, learn to use them, and you'll really go places. Of course, you might have trouble explaining yourself to the neighbours until you learn to do it fast.
When you find a better way for a company to make money than by having people pay them for a product, let me know. (And counterfeiting does not count.) Besides, they've already promised that "Ubuntu will always be free of charge," so I don't know what you're concerned about.
I know we keep getting further and further off topic here, but I can't resist.
Atari and Nintendo emulators are the only ones I run on my Ubuntu box (z26, Fceu, Mupen64Plus, Zsnes). Adobe Flash works fine (on a 32-bit computer anyhow, though I hear you can run the 32-bit plugin passably on 64-bit). Pretty much all of my videos are in MP4 format. The Dialup one I will give you, and I can't speak about your Opera problem (come to think of it, doesn't Opera 10 have a built-in accelerator?). When was the last time you tried Ubuntu?
Very true; let's be careful not to forget he is innocent until proven guilty, regardless of how likely this may seem given his recent words and actions.
As sentimental as that is, for the last five years I've heard nothing but complaints about the color scheme. No one accepts others for who they are unless they already like who they are.
Humans tend to define 'random' as being evenly distributed, to the point that if you ask a group of twenty people or so to space themselves randomly around a room, they will end up the same distance away from each other. It's probably more likely for the elements in a true random sequence to be similar to each other than for them to be evenly divided.
WTF is that? Everyone knows Jedi can heal themselves using the force - Cilgahl, T'ra Saa, Cade Skywalker! these 'Jedi' are weak.
Unless they're just trying to cover up a Sith assassination attempt.

Skimming hurriedly through the page, I thought for a moment that your comment was in reply to the one above it...

Sounds like Linux vs OpenBSD to me!
You pulled this exact post, word for word, out of my head, at the exact instant I thought of it. You've got to teach me how to do that!
Should have nailed them to the perches.

Time that isn't spent productively is not necessarily wasted.

Wonder if their shower temperatures went loopy when they flushed their toilets too?
So does this mean Windows will be ported to ARM soon, or will Bing be running on Linux?
This is Slashdot. Windows is always to blame.
Every time Ubuntu updates it asks me to reboot the machine
Ubuntu pretty much only restarts for kernel updates, but if you install Ksplice, even those go away.

How do you think they got in power?

Kinda puts his comments that "No one has any reasonable expectation of privacy anymore" into a whole new light, doesn't it?

Let's find out. Where did I put that duck?
The one mentioned in the post right below yours?

For everyone who read this thinking it meant "cool" as in "awesome".
