Somebody with more artistic skill than myself needs to take a picture of Indiana Jones shooting the 'large man with sword' in the first movie and photoshop in a freaking walkie-talkie instead of Jones' pistol.....
There are plenty of standards for GUI's under linux. Standards aren't the problem. Too many standards are the problem. That is the joy and the curse of open source. You can't force people to do it your way, even when it's for the betterment of all mankind.
While your stand is admirable, you could have also put your money where THEIR mouth is, and said "we'll use your products if you open up the specs". In the end, you may have still gone with Intersil, but SHOWING them that they're stance is costing them money goes quite a ways....
Actually, I would claim that you are killing & maiming plantlife so you could eat it. I get a little upset at vegitarians who claim that they don't want to eat meat for moral reasons, because they don't want to be responsible for the death of something.
Everything you eat to sustain you comes from something that was/is alive, and if you are gonna be upset about someone killing and eating Bambi, then perhaps you should strickly follow your moral code and stop eating all together.
Now pass me some of that there that you was eating on....
True, but a loaded 747 gets better gas mileage per person involved than the single-person SUV commuting to work. I can't find the study right now, but IIRC, a pretty well loaded down 747 or other commercial jet gets about 25-30mpg per person.
and the truly ironic thing is that there was a second mistake in his pattern replacement that you neglected to catch; the fact that he was supposed to replace the 'To' with 'Two'.
I have to call some measure of bullsh*t on this one. I drive a convertible every day, and I can tell you that loud pipes really can only be heard if you are BEHIND the bike in question. If I'm in front of a loud bike, and am travelling over about 30, I don't hear it much louder than any other car. All loud pipes do is piss me off and make me want to pass the bike so I can hear my radio again.
The whole 'just hook your colon to the stove' part just sounds uncomfortable, but it'll sure keep the rest of the family out of the kitchen when I cook.

The bad news is that they start to pulsate gamma radiation, require the sacrifice of an unborn child conceived during a full moon and each recharged battery causes an angel to lose his or her wings.
Great. Where's the average slasdotter going to get an unborn child conceived during a full moon?

I just wish my employer would see the logic of letting me WORK over cat5, lessening both my demand for oil and my interuptions from getting work done.

Sure they are.... You know...

If we're trying to be more humane, shouldn't we use These Folx instead?
Hey, it was better than a lawyer joke...

I want a house that can run on Methane. That way my mexican cooking won't go to waste.
Hmmm, but what kind of collection method can be used? uh, nevermind. I withdraw my request.
nah, you'll be abe to tell because Kevin Mitnick will be elected Prime Minister of India.
Did the writer of 'Gigli' get anything?
Microsoft will come out with it own version, and call it D-.
In the immortal words of Jefferson Airplane, 'Poison Oak is natural, too. Why don't you put some of that in your food?'
but what if I send all that mail through my default mail gateway (my other machine), which accepts the mail and directs it to /dev/null?
Nah. They should go with 'Lindoze'.

File-Sharing != Threat to Music Sales
The RIAA just doesn't get it.
No, the RIAA gets it. It's just that that equation is irellevant. The equation that matters is:
File-Sharing != RIAA control of music distribution.
File sharing represents the loss of control over what gets pushed, and what gets popular.
