6. I think FreeBSD is easier to install(others think I am crazy)
As a relative noob here, I have to say that I've found the exact same thing. I've tried Redhat, Mandrake, Debian, Slackware(fav. linux distro - since 4.0) Caldera and SuSE. After trying all these, I found that the BSD install just makes sense (and talk about your options!!) Kind of like Slackware.

I feel there are some inherent problems with movie criticism. The problem is that most people who review things are the very people who seem to have the most hang ups about that thing. This makes their reviews worthless to the rest of us who simply enjoy watching movies or reading books. So Mr. Moviereviewerman, you think Nemesis had a "derivative, punch-the-keyboard plot." You think it was "crude, but occasionally laugh-out-loud funny, merely for its sheer ridiculousness." You think that a movie like Nemesis is just too far below your standards. Well I bet you twenty bucks you have a painting in your house that you bought because it matched your couch, how pedestrian.
Last year, while sitting on a dock in Northern Ontario (nice beer drinkin' summer night), my friends and I saw a blue meteor streak across the sky. Now, we weren't sure if it was the pot or the beer...but out of nowhere, we saw this meteor streak from East to West, clear across the horizon. Beautiful, really. The front was blue, and the tail was a light orange color. The really cool thing about it was that you could actually *hear* it.
We weren't sure if we were actually seeing what we were seeing (remember - pot and beer) until we heard a kid from about 10 cottages down yell: "MOM!!! LOOK!!!" Lasted about 10 seconds. (or six minutes, depending on your state of mind)
Needless to say, our wives didn't believe us. (one look at the bong, and all we got was "uh huh. Sure you did...".)
Has always been the Mackinack Bridge spanning the Upper and Lower Peninsulas of Michigan. We used to drive this way all the time to go to Southern Ontario (from the North, eh?) The suspension part on the bridge has steel grating in the middle two lanes - it's pretty cool to look straight down at the water. They frequently close this bridge during poor weather. I think about 10-15 years ago, a small car (Yugo?) actually blew off the bridge during high winds.

Pardon the ignorance, but what exactly is/are the differences between C# and C++ ?
Is C# meant to replace C++?
Ding!

Yeah, but can Gabe snag 12 mod points in one post, and *still* get a '-1 Interesting' ?
I think not.

Great...
"The bottom line is, no self respecting Slashdot reader should have to pay the phone company to rid themselves of the annoyance of telemarketers."
But...don't you have to pay the phone company for the CallerID feature on your line? I know you do in Canada ($5.00 / month).
And isn't that the point of the article?

The U.S. Government has just licensed the first commercial mission to the moon.
TransOrbital, Inc. received permission from various government agencies last week to send a probe back to the Earth's little sister.
Received permission?? Did I miss the part where the US Gov't purchased the moon?
Furthermore, we split the T1 out over a hub with two other tenants in the building. I'm coming through from behind that hub.
Hubs? You actually use hubs? No wonder it seems slow.
Here is a Google cache of the difference between hubs and switchs (basic).
