Ah quit your bitching! As a Californian speaking, I'm proud to say that our state will literally break off from the rest of the US anyway....maybe to hang out with Hawaii. Alaska can come too.
You couldn't have said it in better words. I mean, people using IE are used to each and every one of it's quirks, even if it happens to be "fault tolerant" by allowing badly formed HTML/JS/CSS/XML/etc to render the pages. Consequently they may think that Mozilla/Opera/Firefox/whatever aren't as good because they may not tolerate badly designed HTML/JS/CSS/etc as quietly.

Hatatatacha! That's it for today. Good job, Parappa, you can go on to the next stage.
There's one problem, your analogy is a little off kilter. Basically what he tried to do in Linux is the equivalent of changing the drive letter in Windows XP, not fiddling with a system file or the registry.
Hey, ya gotta start somewhere:) It's not like anyone is going to create the next Doom, Unreal, Final Fantasy, etc. on their first try...i know, i tried LOL;)
Admittedly, I cant say that I had (let alone used) SEUCK, but I remember that I had this software for Winblows 3.1 called Klik N Play which in essence did the same thing....thing is, i'll be damned if i remember anything I made that was worth spending more than 10 seconds on:P
Of course, maybe it's a sign that I should maybe, just maybe learn how to do real programming *sigh*
Actually, that whole "news for nerds" label is really more subjective than objective as far as I'm concerned. Even then, there's no need for you to proclaim that you're foregoing a slashdot subscription. Heck, i'd rather put the money to good use...like a combo meal at McD's for lunch:P
if i recall correctly, the ",8" had to do with the device number (disk drives were typically 8, but i believe 9,10, and 11 could be addressed for additional disk drives as well.)
as for the ",1", i believe that loaded the program in machine language...or not, i forget:P

I see you're trying to vaporize your UNIX system. Would you like to:
That's nothing, I get instant iced tea out of my faucet!
dont forget images of stormtroopers with walkie-talkies chasing Indiana Jones and Short Round in those mine cars. ;)

Lemme guess, you work for them, don't you? Either that, or your bong was completely full of chronic recently.
Sounds like you should try Blockbuster :)
Makes working for Initech seem good.

I thought I clicked that post anonymous button! :P
Slashdot never suffers a glitch when it comes to Anonymous Cowards like me.
:P
As another slashdotter who hides behind anonymity, I want to tell you that you smell like pea soup and you can't do anything about cause im unknown!
If I recall correctly, Sony got nailed for using a fake critic by the name of David Manning to doctor favorable reviews for their just released movies
It would not surprise me if authors were INDEED promoting their own works courtesy of public forums like amazon and the like.
And in 2302 ...
:P
We'll be used as batteries for our robotic overlords, whom I for one welcome

not only that, they must've optimized it to hell, seeing as they can run it on a C64 :D
Excellent...
yep, i knew i wasn't going to get 2 for 2 correct. =)
yeah, now Junis or Akbar or whoever you refer to can watch it through PETSCIIlib :P
yeah, if i recall, i believe all the C64 users tried this:
LOAD"GETGEOSPROGRAM",8,1
And got
LOADING "GETGEOSPROGRAM"
SORRY WE'RE SLASHDOTTED ERROR
READY.
here it goes...
:P
if i recall correctly, the ",8" had to do with the device number (disk drives were typically 8, but i believe 9,10, and 11 could be addressed for additional disk drives as well.)
as for the ",1", i believe that loaded the program in machine language...or not, i forget
well that too ;)
sorry, my brain isn't fully awake yet to think these things through 8-}
