They're still in the wrong goddamned place!
Goddamn, give me a $1.3e7 signing bonus and I'd at least have the couth to FAKE a positive attitude!
Thank you for bringing that to our attention.
I didn't see any source code there.
All I got was a core dump.
Physicists must be ass men.
I'm still boycotting Atari Breakout!
They were talking about technological flights of fancy, not fairytales.
Is this the guy that thinks that robots are going to take over the world?!! I thought that guy worked for SCO.
But we all know that "liberal" really means unpatriotic, America-hating communists.

Jesus H Christ! The first chapter is 7,328 pages, over three volumes!
This above post is entirely factually correct.
Does it run (on) Coherent ^H^H^H Linux?!!!
And as a bonus, we get to mock RMS! (and SCO... and M$... and HEY! no one's slagged Linus yet! Sneaky Finn!)
that this is the battle that finally destroys Western capitalism? Come on, we've all seen this in Star Trek!
