Konqueror has had this feature for a long time, and it works excellently:) And in KDE3.1.1, Konqueror is blazingly fast. Once you set up key shortcuts that makes sense (the default once don't, imo), you have one of the best browsers EVER.
If you don't like the traditional ascii rendering of the game, there is now a complete port of nethack to use a 3D-accellerated, high-resolution display engine which will keep you on the edge of your seat! See screenshot, and drool!
A large part of the experience of having a cup of really good coffee, is the smell, the deducing aroma that fills you with an eager anticipation of the magnificent black gold that is about to wash down your throat (oh my god, someone gimme a coffee right NOW!:). Even coffee haters like the smell of good coffee. Serving icky bitter coffee that fools the brain into thinking it tastes good, won't change the sentiment of "something's wrong here".
The release hasn't been announced, which would mean it hasn't reached the mirrors yet, which would mean they need the master FTP server to be up and running. How very convenient of Slashdot to link directly to the master FTP server before this has happened! This is sabotage.
File sharing is illegal - you are paying nothing for something.
Sure, Linux, and Free Software in general, is also illegal by that logic, since you're getting something for nothing.

Crapspackle. You assume that monetary rewards are what motivates geeks into doing stuff they do. It has long since been established that the presence of such rewards can actually have demotivating effects. Stuff are just simply more fun to do when you do it out of your own free will and for it's own sake, than for external rewarding systems such as money. I think if there's any one defining difference between geeks and suits, it's what reward system that motivates them.
Did Linus write his operating system in the hope of getting rich from it? Did eight-year-old Mozart write sweet symphonies for sweet legal tender? I think not.:-)
Leela: I didn't wanna leave them either, Fry, but what were we supposed to do?
Fry: Well, usually on the show, somebody would come up with a complicated plan, then explain it with a simple analogy.
Leela: Hmmm... if we can re-route engine power through the primary weapons and reconfigure them to Melllvar's frequency, that should overload his electro-quantum structure.
You can read the original Danish article here. The group's lawyer, Morten Lindegaard, is quoted as saying "The money will be for the victims - the artists. They're not to be spent on administration." (my poor translation)

I call bullocks on you. While the giFT project leader and main coder may appear a little antisocial and semi-narcissistic, he and his team are highly skilled (and well aware of it, which may be a little politically uncorrect). giFT is highly usable even now, and it gets better for every cvs update I do.
It's certainly very useful for music downloads, ranging from everything from the latest Pop Bimbo to classical Strauss. While the number of users on giFT range only in the hundreds, these are an idealistic crowd, not free-loaders like on KaZaA. Each user shares in average around 8 gigabytes! And you won't find a higher.ogg ratio on any other network. Ditch those mp3s!
If you haven't, try giFT today! And if you're even more interested in the project, join the discussions at #gift @ freenode (and get a taste of that "attitude" you've been hearing so much about;).
For your information, your opinion is wrong (and stupid). eXistenZ was actually a decent sci-fi that worked on many levels. It had to put up with a very low budget for special effects, but still managed to convey the story and keep the audience (except for the very stupid ones) at the edge of their seats.
Slashdot Mirror
Actually, it seems the only remaining free names are "testsicles" and "popplers".
And also, we should all start surfing the Internet Explorer after checking our Outlook (hint: Outlook not good).

You can also check out what google knows (or think it knows) about you at Googlism. Gets pretty hilarious.
You got it wrong. Try:
# apt-get moo

Use a real browser.
It appears I already am. (Hint: do a google search for "real browser"). Any other suggestions?
That's what I'm using.
That site crashes my Mozilla.
You should also try Soylent Cola. The taste varies from people to people.
Bah! s/deducing/seducing/. Too much school work and too little coffee :P

FreeBSD/GNOME also has it's own website, here.

There may be no Linux song, but there's definitely a Free Software Song, lovingly performed by RMS.
