Why does Debian completely rewrite their installer and boot floppies for each release? They can't seem to choose a design they can stick with. Both Woody and Potato suffered from buggy boot floppies that were delivered WAY past schedule, delaying the entire Debian release..
The Be kernel was written in C, not C++. Be's user libraries were written in C++.
Interestingly though, Apple does use (a simplified subset of) C++ for Mac OS X device drivers. See the Apple IOKits.

The moon rotates as it orbits the earth, so the "light" side of the moon seen by the USians is the "dark" side of the moon see by the Russians. and vice versa. So maybe the Russians know about the Illumunati moon base and just never told us..
One solution to this problem is to get your domain name and create a secret "catch all" email account. Then use a different email address for EVERY web account or mailing list. For example, someone might use cmdrtaco-slashdot@slashdot.org for Slashdot, cmdrtaco-amazon@slashdot.org for Amazon orders, and cmdrtaco-anime@slashdot.org for an anime mailing list.
If you later receive spam for penis enlargers at cmdrtaco-amazon@slashdot.org, then you know that Amazon sold your email address to the powerful penis-enlargement lobby. You can then choose to stop using Amazon or choose a new Amazon email address, while creating an email rule to automatically kill email to your old cmdrtaco-amazon@slashdot.org email address.

You should consider researching software-defined asynchronous radio logic.
4. The enter beast was so unyeilding, it was known that the only one person who ever understood it, had to keep a journal just to keep track of the beast (Seriously). This was one of the major reasons that ticked off Linus and I believe the reason why he pushed the new VM.
When tons of people starting using 2.6.0, they will find new bugs. These bugs would also be in 2.7.0. Both kernel branches would need to be fixed BY HAND, increasing dev and testing time. I think it makes more sense for 2.7.0 to start with a "stable" stable 2.6.x.
Instead of shutting wireless networks down, this seems like an opportunity for them to charge MORE money. Some ISPs (such as Speakeasy HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!) don't mind if you share your broadband connection with your neighbors. They can charge for tiered bandwidth. If I am sharing my connection with my neighbors and they are a major bandwidth hogs, then I will either upgrade to a more expensive bandwidth tier or shut my neighbors out and then they will buy their own connection from the same ISP (to avoid losing their email or whatever).
They might use the same proxy server if they are both AOL users. From what I've heard, AOL has about two dozen proxy servers between their users and the untamed internet. Their user proxy server assignments are dynamic and can even change during a shopping-cart session. This unexpected shifting of IP addresses caused problems for a web app people at my work were developing..
"UML and other documentation is a fad. Code == design, dudez!! EXXXXTREME Programming R00LZZ!"
"Anyone can checkin at anytime, screw those other guys!" If developer time costs $20-40 a hour and your checkin breaks everyone's build, then that wouldn't cost time and money, would it?

They why are there numerous posts here suggesting that Debian users can use Microsoft TrueType fonts with the simple incantation "apt-get install msttcorefonts"?
apt-get install msttcorefonts:) They're something Microsoft got right, and you're free to use them, even on linux! I haven't looked at an ugly bitmapped font in over two years.
Under debian you can "apt-get install msttcorefonts" and have nice microsoft fonts that they provide, including arial, ahhh arial... Under other dists, you probably have to manually find them and install them the trutype way.
when I first installed Linux, I spent several DAYS getting XFree86 to run. Figuring out your monitor timings and building an XF86Config file was really, really difficult. And that was just X.... every other program I wanted to run would take large amounts of time. Most of the time, downloaded source code would fail to compile, and I am not a programmer. Figuring out and fixing errors in just the Makefile was hard, let alone errors in the program itself.
I just manually installed Mac OS X 10.1 on my girlfriend's Power Mac G4. I only had to push the NEXT button about five times and then everything worked. I did not need to spend "days figuring out your monitor timings and building an XF86Config file". I did not need to download any source code. I did not need to worry about broken Makefiles. I did not need to worry about.rpm and.deb package dependency problems.
Linux is "sexy", but I will not bother using it until it is as easy and seamless as Mac OS X. Linux, X, GNOME, and KDE are older than Mac OS X. Why can't they do what Mac OS X does? Of course, Mac OS X was based on old NEXT STEP software. Linux, GNOME, and KDE are newer than NEXT STEP. Why can't they do what NEXT STEP did?

Maybe you can copyright your email address. Then a spammer could not use or publish it without your permission.
You spelled weird incorrectly, too. Are you using that "wierd" male logic again?

Of course, Fucked Company does have a "story" about Microsoft's plans to buy Yahoo. Why isn't that also on the Slashdot front page?
you're 2 hours from Canada, 2 hours from the City, 2 hours from the shore, Cape Cod in the summer, Vermont in the winter
