As chairman and CEO of Canopy [canopy.com] I've done a lot for the Open Source community. I've promoted investments in companies like... Trolltech [trolltech.com] producing the incredible QT widget set used by the KDE [kde.org] project.
I'm sure my fellow Slashdotters can understand how this gnawed away at my soul.
The move to BTX will also bring us closer to a fully legacy-free PC, with PS/2, serial and parallel ports already beginning to disappear from prototype motherboards.
So now I'll have to buy expansion cards (and waste slots) to use my IBM Model M, UPS comms cable, modem and printer?
...Gates...switching his Ford Pinto with Hyundai Excel. Gates insisted this is NOT an "act of retaliation whatsoever," but just a "matter of personal preference."
There is also rumored to be a flight simulator hidden in the Excel.
And I was, like, driving along, in my Ford, OK? And there was this, like, pedestrian there in the road, and my Ford went like, all beep-beep-beep. My Ford crushed my pedestrian. It was a really good-looking pedestrian.
Taking a 100% Microsoft client-server systems environment and simply adding Linux based desktops to the mix is a bit like dropping a mongoose into a snake pit -- short term savings on licensing and hardware will be eaten up by increased support costs and decreased operational stability

I'm sure my fellow Slashdotters can understand how this gnawed away at my soul.
Surely you meant "knawed".
Spy there.
Yes, it is. In fact, it's already being done, but with jism, not plasm.
Typical exclusionism. My PS/2 and I will be over here. Let us know when the MCA version is ready.
Well, is that 8 Gigabytes, or 8 Gibibytes? And which one is better?

But there IS a "background".
I think mine has. It keeps swinging itself around by its cord, and screaming, "I'm livin' La Vida Loca!"
Are you saying the plot blows?
You mean, "It's how you fsck it."
So what did they do with Mr. Ed?
There is also rumored to be a flight simulator hidden in the Excel.
Switching from Ford:

I think I've heard of something like that.
They're Fucked On Race Day, too.
Perhaps you should give GNU Privacy Good a shot.

Am I alone in saying, "Huh?"
