Meh. He's got some cute pictures, but his grasp of military history is teh fail. The French did *not* discount the possibility of the Germans coming through the neutral Low Countries; in fact, they expected it--it was what they'd done last time, after all. That's what did them in. All their decent units were all lined up on the Belgian border and rushed into the Flanders plain to meet the expected oncoming Germans as soon as Belgium was invaded. But the Germans broke through at the pivot point, in the Ardennes, getting behind the Allied forces now in Belgium and then driving west to the sea to bottle them all up quite nicely, including the British (who managed to evacuate out of the pocket from Dunkirk).
You're already carrying God knows how many gallons of high-test jet fuel--the fuel oil, being considerably less inflammable, isn't adding that much to your fire hazard.
I'm sorry, but that's just not so. I don't run Aero, and it runs like crap. Sound performance in particular reaches levels I haven't seen since I had a 386.
Except that it isn't. Linux per se is only a kernel. The OS built around that kernel involves adding a filesystem structure, binary libraries, and and a broad range of utility programs that can be, and *are*, assembled in very different ways. I can very easily see why you'd only want to support a complex program on only one distribution. Yes, it could theoretically be made to run on any distribution, but support a distribution means attempting to run it, doing the inevitable fixes necessary to make it run, and then considerable testing to find the bugs introduced by incompatibilities between distributions, and the fixing of those bugs. It all adds up to a not inconsiderable amount of highly-paid labor.

Silly IT, using Lotus Notes for what IBM says it's supposed to be used for!
I'm very happy with my Sony Trinitron 32" that's served me well for the past eight years or so and still has no fault I can see. I'm supposed to spend thousands of dollars for a "medium-sized" screen that won't fit in my apartment so I can spend thousands *more* for the High Def media needed to make look "decent"? Thanks, but no thanks. You guys have fun out there on the cutting edge; I have much better uses for my money.
The official Take 2 site says the April 29 release will be for PS3 and Xbox360. No mention of a PC release. Can't get any info off the official game site because their fancy Flash interfaces breaks on my browser. Doesn't look like there's much there anyways.
The one that was supposed to be "very clever" is just a painting with some windows on top of it. It looks like my browser thinks I need another plugin or something, but it doesn't tell me what this would be.
If this is supposed to be clever, I'm missing something, either personally or in my browser. Some of the other ones were pretty decent, I guess...
You're missing something, personally, I'm afraid. The picture was a painting on wood that had been damaged by the passage of time, with large patches of paint having completely flaked off. The joke was that the flaked-off patches had all been enclosed in "broken image" frames.
I think some of the x86 models are custom-built for Solaris. The SPARC notebooks definitely are. I would think there are also people who sell BSD notebooks, but I admit to having trouble Googling one up.

You young 'uns... I kin remember when we wasn't coddled and we ran *Slackware*. And we liked it, by gum!

I can't read that, it's all in Hollish!

OK, we'll throw() you to Hell. The Devil will catch(). That's what you get for try{}ing that.
At least we might avoid General Failure reading our hard drive.

Opera? No!

If the UN is supposed to be a US puppet organization, all I can say is the US should demand its money back.

Nope, there are places that will sell you a Solaris notebook, either x86 or SPARC, although Sun themselves have gotten out of the notebook business.
Not to mention the fact that you get to still call it bread without plunking down a bankroll to get your Official Bread Certification.
So they didn't plunk down money for the Official Sticker. Meaningless.

Now THAT'S bad karma!
Why would I want to use "their" when I am referring to a single person?
The cake is a lie!
