The South seceded because they thought Lincoln would destroy their whole way of life, not just abolish slavery, so the war started over states' rights. But, many (but not all) Northerners did think the war was about slavery, and that's why many of them signed up--I'm sure at least some of us remember Col. Chamberlain's speech to the men of the 2nd Maine in The Killer Angels or Gettysburg.
until there's a widely accepted standard for some medium that'll let me give a few megs to a friend for 25 cents
Well, you can't store a few megs on a floppy, and it's somewhat confusing to have to split up a particularly big file in order to put it onto separate disks.
BTW, where did you get that.sig? A radio station I listen to uses that exact phrase all the time.
You do not have the right to do anything to this DVD except to read the back and use the shiny part of the disc as a mirror. If you exceed these rights, then you forfeit the use of the shiny part of the disc as a mirror.
If I'd seen that I wouldn't have submitted it this time. But it does show if you want story submissions, wait a week and resubmit a story that was already posted. After all, you already know it's/. material and that there are too many editors to keep everything straight.

Then you find out that they're actually tic-tacs.
They've also got an online employee directory. Start signing people up using handle@127.0.0.1 instead of handle@ibm.com.
Futurama DVDs?!?!?!? I didn't know they were selling those.
I don't understand how a Linux program can be closed-source in the first place, but I'm probably missing something.
Well, by then robots will have overtaken the human race, so let's leave that particular bug in to get them back.

That's an M$ EULA, right?
I meant to quote more of your comment, but I must have missed part of it.
With no walls or fences on the internet, who needs Windows or Gates anyway?
I think they should use the animal I'll be reincarnated as instead of these adjectives, so that I'd have Karma: Cow.
Well, we'd have a little less gravity--I could finally dunk a basketball!
