stupid enough to keep using Windoze, then enjoy your viruses, instabilities and all the other people using your computer
Be careful with what you say, you're calling a lot of people stupid. I use Windows and Linux. I've never had a virus. Not even once, and I've been using Windows since 3.1. I don't run as an admin, and I only use software that doesn't require me to be. Am I still stupid?
When did my XP or 7 boxes last blue screen? I really can't remember, a long time ago. When did my Ubuntu last freeze up? A few weeks ago, in fact it probably happens monthly.
Don't get me wrong, I like Linux. But Windows has its place too. Maybe you're just too stupid to use it properly?
I tried Wine, and Cedega, and hated them both. Performance was crap, they're just not good enough (I couldn't even get Half Life 2 above 20fps when on Windows I get >60fps). I'm not a Linux expert... maybe that's the problem?;)
How would I play my Windows games then?!
(Please don't even bother saying Wine, or Cedega, or whatever. The correct answer is "you wouldn't be able to".)
New is appearing that Stephen King has passed away also.
Come on, what's the point in posting something like this? You're just wasting our time making us read this crap. I'm wasting my time replying. And others will waste their time reading my reply. And so on...
I've been using the dvorak layout for several years now and will say that:
1. Dvorak isn't necessarily faster than Qwerty. I certainly used to be able to achieve faster typing speeds using Qwerty.
2. Dvorak is more comfortable. I used to suffer periodic bouts of painful wrist and finger ache (no comments please!) when typing on a Qwerty layout. I switched to Dvorak and everything has been hunky dory since.

appending a 0x
would give 100x. You mean 'prepending'.

Wow Grishnakh, I could have written your reply almost word-for-word, my thoughts exactly!
I want the story of the ship the Nostromo found.
I don't, and I'm sure a lot of others don't too. What's wrong with a little mystery these days?!
I found the link useful :-)
Instead of going to Wikipedia and typing the word into the search box and hitting Go... I just clicked the link!
2. Create a binding, toughly worded contract that each customer must sign by hand.
This could just scare off potential buyers.
Considering that music has become a much more personal experience, it isn't necessarily a social activity anymore
Are you saying that slashdotters never have friends over for food and drinks, with a little music too?
But I bet most infected machines are probably in the US!
