They made this same claim 1 or 2 years ago and did their math the exact same way. It would be almost identical to someone adding up all the holes in Win9x/ME/NT/2K and comparing them to 1 Linux distributions reports.
"If (*if*) a goal of the Linux community is to gain wider acceptance or be taken more seriously, one way to do that might be to give more than one person final say over the kernel."
Of course, in most companies where this sort of thing is done professionally, you have a lot of people offering opinions and then, ultimately, one person who makes the final decision. How is that so different from what Linus does?
Oh, that's easy; the Religious Reich that damn near control the Republican Party and help Bush make bad decisions regarding stem cell research. See? Making prophecy fit a situation is easy.
Um... City of God is DC, Twin Brothers are the WTC towers, fortress is America, great (cough, cough) leader is Bush. Making prophecy fit the situation is easy.
Today is also the midpoint between September 5th and 17th -- which, in 1978, was when the Camp David Accord were signed, to bring peace between Egypt and Israel and attempt to get the other Middle East nations to join in the peace process.
Regurge already did the parody; it's at the Shockwave.com web site, under the "Shows" heading. I'd post a link but it's all Shockwave animation once you hit the site.
I'll shed tears. My home connection for my servers is provided over Covad with Speakeasy as my ISP. Right now I have static IP's and 384K SDSL.
My main choice, should Covad die, appears to be Ameritech DSL. Ameritech DSL does NOT give you static IPs and is not an always on connection. A friend of mine who has it says his connection also suffers from intermittent periods of stalling for a few minutes at a time.
From Amazon, Neverwhere was out in hard cover in 1997. From the IMBD, Neverwhere was on TV in 1996. That would seem to support your statement. This page tracks some of his work and pretty much says the same thing. --
It should be noted, though, that the Record of Lodoss War release was just the TV episodes thrown onto DVD. Each episode is a "chapter" setting and each episode has the opening and ending credits. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't clean it up and find some more "chapter" points to insert. --
I have my DSL through Speakeasy and Covad and I also pay $90/mth. That's for a 384K SDSL connection ( meaning, for the non-clued, 384kbps up and down, a balanced connection ). That also gets me 2 static IP addresses and 2 email accounts. On that connection I am allowed ( encouraged even ) to run game and web servers. When you consider that the connection is a balanced one ( ideal for servers ) and that TOS allows you to run servers ( many others do not and will block ports / disconnect your service if you do ), that $90/mth doesn't seem that bad. --
My SDSL from Speakeasy, using Covad, has an external DSL modem with one ethernet jack. It plugs into my hub, my computers plug into that. I get static IP's from Speakeasy.
My point here is that everyone does DSL differently. Ameritech's DSL apparently uses some kind of weird internal DSL modem that requires you to dial-in before you have access. My connection is always on. --
And what kind of upload speeds do you get on your mighty cable modem, hmm? Cable modems usually have a much lower upload speed compared to the download speed/and/ not every area has upgraded their cable wiring to handle cable modems.
Since I actually run a server off of my SDSL, I need a balanced connection with a good upload speed. That's something I haven't seen a cable modem provider able to offer. --
IF you've got an addictive personality and can't limit your mudding to more than a few hours here or there, then it CAN do all of those things you say. But your dire warning should have been "it CAN do x", not "it WILL do x." --

You're not cleared for that.
Wow, I must have missed the episode where Crichton got back to Earth.
"One of them was even a promotional copy that wasn't supposed to be resold, so I'm doubly screwing the RIAA."
... no. You paid money for something that was distributed for free. You got screwed, not the other way around.
Er
No actual comparison to Nazi's or Hitler was made so no, Godwin's Law cannot be invoked.
And again in DK2 (sequel to Dark Knight Returns) in which he once again kicks Supe's ass. 2/3 parts currently out on comic stands.
Ah, thanks, I forgot who did it and I forgot that he managed to find a way to count even worse. Fuzzy math ...

I was wondering about that also. It seems to me that most of Google's "pennies per page" would go towards paying all of the sites that Google visited.
There are so many holes you can poke in this article that's it hard to find a place to begin.
Is JonKatz posting under a new ID now? ;-)
64K doesn't even cover most of your textures ...

What a choice, whee...
I can imagine "First Post" plastered on it ...
