A nanometer is a metric unit of length equal to one billionth of a meter. A Micron is the thousandth part of one millimeter (the millionth part of a meter).
If you decide to call the
thingamabob over there a wongle and everone else agrees, it is called a wongle foreverafter until folks decide that
it should be called something else.
Not true. Remember what the words 'gay,' 'cool,' 'queer,' or 'sweet' used to mean?
Final releases based on alpha code suck.

Carry out the common ideal here on slashdot that "information wants to be free" to its logical conclusion. Any private information about you is now free for me to know. I'm sure many people who love Napster would not like me knowing their names, home and IP addresses, internet usage histories, or a list of what magazines they subscribe to. So, would that trade off be worth it, ie. you can copy any CD's you want as long as websites can trade all the previously-thought private data that they've collected?
Consumers want to share music; corporations want to share personal information databases. Why should only one or the other be allowed to?
It's like saying if information is free all of it has to be.
Mmmmmm....Mtraffic.
Think about it. Is this really useful? Are you happy to spend your tax dollars maintaining this system and staffing it? What about the potential for misuse or cracking of the database?
Why must I double click on a folder to open it when there are five mouse buttons and a wheel on my mouse (not to mention 4-6 modifier keys on my keyboard)? What's even funnier is that the middle button doesn't even do anything on the icons in GMC (I know that mouse-1 selects and opens in KDE, but it really shouldn't be like that).
Here is how tasks should be assigned to mice buttons in file managers.
1. select
2. open
3. move
and if you have more...
4. back
5. forward
wheel: scroll
My second biggest gripe is toolbars.
Most toolbars in gnome can't be folded up or removed, or the buttons on it can't be added or subtracted. I think that each app should use the Panel functionality as the toolbar, because, lo and behold, it's the same concept! This would allow users to make as many panels as they want and put whatever buttons on them that they desire. For example, I'd have absolutely no toolbars.
Releasing Mozilla 18 as Netscape 6 is akin to releasing Linux 2.4.0-test10 as 2.4.0. They're just not ready. In other news, Glibc 2.2 has been released containing the result of one year's development on the library.
My favorite part of the C|NET article reads, "All of these systems have come under fire from critics who charge they could be used by criminals to exchange information or to post dangerous content online, such as child pornography, for example.":p

Thank god they didn't release a 5.0.
it'd be a great time to implement IPv6.
Neither NEC, Transmeta or Sony could be reached immediately for comment.

Which OS is more policy focused: Windows 95, or Linux? I say Windows.
Which is better at securing your private data? I say Linux.
What does this tell us?
So does she need a DVD player with four composite outs?
Anyone else find it funny that it's spelled Carnivoure?
...would you like Carnivoure if it ran LINUX?
Sure, I believe we have an opening at the poser level. -The Simpsons

How will we record late night ("copy protected") programs, or programs on while we're at work/school, and watch them when we're actually home?
When will you people stop not unusing negative doubles? :p
