Perhaps It is not net-savviness that should be in question, but "bluelark's" image of Dean. As much as bluelark thinks Dean is a pure ideologue, he obviously has at least one pragmatic bone in his body.
Now if he can only win the nomination so he can get trounced in '04.
The original poster isn't some marketing guy tying to raise awareness of his company's new product, is he?
No, I'm not. I work for a medium-sized non-IT R&D lab, where Windows, Macs and various Unix/Linux machines are all well represented. We do have a unit from Neoteris to test for a month, but it isn't us end users who are testing it (yet).
With respect to some of the things that are being brought up in this thread, Getting mail through is a given, but our IT department would be asking for serious trouble if they greenlighted this for supporting IMAP and SMB mounts alone. What I'm concerned about is that ssh with X forwarding, Vnc, and other more specialized (and more useful) things like iTunes music sharing might be overlooked in the process.
No kidding he's overreacting. As American victimhood goes, even 3/4 of a Megavictim is small potatoes. What about the one-quarter-Gigavictim of insensitivity and offensiveness?
you think our money is made of paper. It's not; it's a fabric made of cotton and linen fibers.
It's not. It's paper made out of cotton and linen fibers. Fabric is woven or knit from spun threads of fibers. Paper is made by settling fibers out of a liquid medium.
You're right about the washability of our currency, though.
I agree that Kirk's cheating is probably not the thing to emulate here, but using fictional characters as role models and learning by example from fictional situations has been useful to societies for thousands of years. You just have to hope that the stories actually contain some transcendent truth. This was pretty reliable when the myths themselves were written for that purpose. Screenplays are iffy at best. I would not, for instance, take my daily dose of learnin' from an episode of Friends, but Star Trek still has more bankable life lessons than Slashdot.
I'll bet you think you are being very clever to have seen that "parallel" with the American revolution. The fact that you are even tempted to equate the founders of America, who were escaping a tyranny, with the Islamofascists, who have a stated goal of imposing a tyranny, shows that you have been brainwashed by postmodernism, another force worth taking up arms against.
I personally think inciting violence should be legal. Only actually engaging in violence should be illegal, and not for the ones encouraging it, but those committing it.
Yeah, in fact they only just yesterday ported "America's Army" to Macintosh. Imagine an office block of people trying to defend our nation without that.
Slashdot Mirror
And hence we see how informed and insightful this Windows apologist is....
You're right, of course. A tax on internal LAN traffic is quite sufficient to cover Florida's missile defense budget.
On Slashdot? You're kidding, right?
No, BSD can only asymptotically approach 5.0, or else it will be System V. Count on seeing 4.9.9.9.9 STABLE in the next few years.
If that text is real, it's a wonder he ever programmed anything that compiled at all, much less anything that threatened the RIAA/MPAA.
Another example of special purpose computing: The GRAPE "gravitational pipe" computer.
No, that Google searches YOU!
Slashdot requires you to wait 20 seconds between hitting 'reply' and submitting a comment.
Tell that to Cameron Diaz.
You're both wrong. It's myniverse.
Now if he can only win the nomination so he can get trounced in '04.
On the other hand, nobody ever got fired for recommending IBM.

- Linux is the stolen property of SCO.
- Sales of stolen property are null and void by law.
Q.E.D.Apparently, this is a result of their deal with the justice department to resolve possible anti-trust charges.

Whew! I guess that lets Osama off the hook.
Idiot.
Oh yeah, smarty pants? My HP says the last few non-zero digits of pi are 359.
In Soviet Russia, tired cliches become clever jokes!
Close your , please.
