I think that originally TVs were only for the rich and the carved polished wood was OK and would be bought anyway - what's $5000 either side for a TV. You can't compare the metaphorical polish unless you up the pricerange accordingly to a $30,000 TV which has as much style and grace as an antigue glorified CRT.
Start as a hobby, write a few dozen webpages brim with research. Move to books. Then any motor-museum or the several computer museums might be glad to take you.
It's not really enough of a recognised history at the moment. But if you're good there's always a job.
By "wrong way" I mean too many subdomains instead of directories from a purly cosmetic point of view. Mod_rewrite is a wonderfully good idea. But http://cmatthew.users.barkley.edu isn't as clean an URL as http://users.barkley.edu/cmatthew IMO.
Slash should use mod_rewrite to map http://slashdot.org/sid/pid -- then get into all that ?blah=blah&purplemonkey=dishwasher
mod_rewrite is very fast if you have clean rules (keep it simple, stup^dumbass). As far as a pretty URL goes i'd like http://user.blah.edu/cmatthew rather than cmatthew.user.blah.edu... that's just going too far the wrong way.
For example. If I were to call you a cum loving queer-ass-bandit and it were `true`, I would still be generally regarded to be inciting violent responses. If I called you a `Gay Man` ("GM for short, great cars those GM's" - Micheal Moore) then that would be stating the facts without being bitchy about it and thus would not be a troll.
In this case it wasn't true in the slightest what they said about Gnome. It's not slower at screen redraws than KDE. Lying about this (or saying this without any facts or trials to back up the statement) and probably knowing full-well the possible reaction of people (IE, if you get called a paedophile, and you're not, you shouldn't make jokes about raping kids) then this probably did cause an inflamatory reaction as seen here in these slashdot posts.
I love Gnome's icons. They're much more colourful and beautiful than Windows or KDE's 16 colour palette oh they now have 16 million colours better add a few more shades of grey to that box.
Transformers was produced in Japan but that doesn't make it Anime (well, obviously). Transformers wasn't anime in the slightest. Anyway, the chief animator wasn't japanese, he called anime "to easy" on many occasions, and the japanese influence ammounted to "here japanese person, draw the frames inbetween these stills".
I'm talking about whatever I can see on TV. Admitedly there are some kickass anime movies, maybe even a series or two that i've missed -- where the animators have bothered to draw more than two frames every second -- but the likes of Pokémon and Dragonball Z, and so many other voltron wannabes and cack like that are all lazy animation.
Their nature is lazy. They draw the hero in a pose and parallax the background round him while the hero trembles in a strangely fake `Dr Katz` type way.
I don't believe for a second that this type of animation style -- as done so predominately in many (no not all, but many) Anime -- is because it's an artistic vision. It's lazy.
(oh, and to that idiot moderator - cheers; how about considering some people may have a different opinion and aren't just out there to get a reaction.)
You're right in saying MacOS X (roman ten, not X-Window System) isn't an X server at all. It does use a type of display postscript (in that it's a resolution independant pseudo-vector thing). Here's some more information on MacOS X (it's better than X, better than windows 2k, better than the old mac and BeOS, not as good as Berlin).
There was talk of a company already in the process of porting X to MacOS's Aqua. I tend to prefer native all the way though I guess it might be useful.
Don't be too offended. The same overuse of tables goes for slashdot too. Although what's wrong with your review of the card? I get "fdf" in my top left -- does someone like tapping the keyboard at your place?
Fortunately, most are flashable, so upgrading to new, better formats (such as ogg) shouldn't be a problem.
_Most_ physical mp3 players have custom hardware specifically for decoding mp3s and don't add adapt to other formats. It doesn't have a generic CPU in there that can be programmed via flash memory.
I agree with you about CDRs being the perfect solution.
It reminds me of a very similar styled troll called 'Steve Woston of JJJJ-JJJJJ-JJJJJ-JJulius games'. He'd say that he's been in talks with microsoft about something, or some major vendor, and talk crap while being unable to source anything.
Amusing, and goes to show how shoddy moderators are.

So how do you do it?
I'd disagree. But then I do that.

Hey, wait a minute...

Something like "Cool Refreshing Metafilter Tar"
Yeah, we laughed at your town having a guy walking around delivering bits. We had the Pony Express!
Argh! I am the only one that remembers this midnight romp?
I agree with everything else you said, though.
Yes. You really can have too much choice.

Sure, i'm looking for desktop themes, but i'm also looking for porn.

It just sits there handling a 55.6 dialup.
I repeat: woooo!

On a p166 (windows/winamp) I can play mp3s but .ogg breaks up. A P200 plays them cleanly however.

Mozilla's about as fast as Java too.
Usually they just kill one. You can still read the comments (http://slashdot.org /article.pl?sid=00/08/12/0451257&mode=nested) it's just not on the splash page.
Or K-Rad, I can't remember.
This all sounds a bit excessive. How big was this whistle?
(sorry, i'm not about to justify my answer. He just does)
