Include some control characters in your passwords... For a start, none of your script kiddies will be able to figure out how to type a ^V character. Secondly, it screws type speed typing. Thirdly, a few control characters (Ctrl+C, and NULL?) are impossible to send from many Windows clients. Security through impossible passwords:)
Why not get the other 8%? I would think that any PHB would rather get 100% of the market than 92%, and if you consider the number of computers out there it's almost certainly profitable to write proper cross platform code...
The Half-Life engine can use OpenGL, as can the Quake ones. Okay, they're both fairly old, but with new versions of both under development OpenGL is far from dead...
More likely to be resolution... I for one can't tell 24bit colour from anything higher, but I sure can tell the difference between 640x480 and 1600x1200...
If you don't like it, go create your own website. You seem to be forgetting that this is Rob's site and he can say pretty much what he wants on it. Or isn't he allowed to have an opinion any more, now that he gets so much traffic?
Probably not. His attitude appears to be similar to mine -- completely intolerant of ignorant assholes who aren't prepared to learn, and easily pissed off by anyone who expects him to do anything for them because of who he is.
If you think Taco's an asshole, try being on the receiving end of the amount of crap email he has to reply to every day.
RedHat isn't for all of us, you know... Some people, especially those more experienced in Linux, prefer the greater power that there is in Debian. Sure, it's a pain in the butt to install (well, according to some...), but until RedHat offers something as powerful as apt I'm not switching back...
A one millibit Word file, eh? That'd be a first. I take it you mean 1MB (or preferably 1MByte). BTW, do Microsoft get payed by anyone for the amount of bandwidth they waste?

The whole problem is that Microsoft aren't fighting on grounds of which OS is best. They're doing everything possible to avoid that, since they'd lose. The court cases are to prevent Microsoft from using unfair tactics to reinforce their monopoly.
Real programmers never explain their abbreviations or acronyms. It might lead to lowly mortals such as yourself tampering with our divine code. Or something.
Why merge Gnome and KDE? They're pretty much compatible, and from the arguments it's fairly obvious that people prefer one or the other. Oh, hang on, you want an OS with one desktop? Try Windows. We prefer choice here.
BTW, KDE doesn't just run on Linux. AFAIK Gnome is Linux-only.
Firstly, it's mc^2, not MC^2. Secondly, it doesn't. The actual formula (general, as opposed to special relativity) is considerably more complicated (and won't go through the lameness filter) and probably isn't perfect. --

There is a difference between writing proper HTML and writing HTML that NS / IE / Konqy / Whatever will render correctly.
And if you could transmit a one time pad securely, why not just use that method to send the commands in the first place?
Okay, timing maybe, but there's no sane way to send a one time pad anyway. One lost packet and you die...

If you accidently drive into someone and kill them, you still killed them, right? If he damaged anything whilst 'testing', he damaged something...
Not being a USian^H^H^H^H^H US resident, I don't know, but I bet publishing information on the DCMA is illegal under the DCMA... Catch-22 :)
From the looks of it, the new harware is either a Mac G4 or a couple of old 386s they picked up for a buck...
Here on sourceforge. Scroll down for changelog.

ZoneAlarm was free for non-commercial, non-educational, non-government use last time I looked. I stopped using it when it hung with so many apps...

Eudora is also affected by many Outlook virii.

The difference being, of course, that open source has got a lot futher than 25m. I'd say that with Linux and KDE we've landed on Mars...
