Yup, text was sent in real time. Unix talk dates back to... uh... dunno. Probably one of the original BSD releases from UC Berkeley. It was certainly ubiquitous in the early '90s.
...the minor annoyance served a good purpose and was actually a fairly clever design decision.
Yeah, almost as clever as dragging a disk icon to the trash if you want to eject it. As a very wise man once said, "There's a fine line between stupid and clever."
3.2 GHz! That's 6.7% faster than 3.0 GHz! You feel the need to send money to Intel! Fnord! Imagine how fast the Internet will be if you have one of these on your desktop! You will need a neon-colored bunny suit just to look at your computer! You will be assimilated by the Blue Man Group!
Yes, this would be nice, too, but all I ask is that SOME of my tax dollars go to a purpose other than blowing people up, keeping people in prison, and paying for expensive cars for relatives of foreign dictators.
Oh yeah, and congressional fact-finding junkets to Tahiti.
The government wants to spend money on something I like!
Maybe they can reallocate some money from ongoing projects such as propping up totalitarian regimes to a space colonization project. That would be nice.
O'Reilly's latest offering, FOO in a Nutshell, dispells many of the myths surrounding FOO and shows it to be a worthy contender in the BAR arena. Even though BAZ, QUX, and QUUX have been proposed as alternatives to FOO, only FOO provides the full power of SNERGLE to MUMBLE programmers.
Chapter 1 is the introduction, chapters 2-73 are the stuff that comes after the introduction, and then comes the index, which has some really good stuff in it.
So, in short, FOO in a Nutshell is better than anything else at explaining why you should incorporate DWEEZIL into your FLARK.
We have seen the future, and it sucks. The future is big corporations staking claims on every facet of your life (with the full support of the political parties funded by these corporations), and you become a mere consumer unit.
Is it any wonder that people would rather escape into a world in which you could hop on a horse and ride for a day or two to escape from oppressive laws, and where being a corporate drone isn't a viable career option?

Works every time!
Hi, I'm Guybrush Threepwood. I want to be a pirate.
Classic. Almost as good as the classic definition:
Recursion: see Recursion
Then you don't live in Seattle!!!
Now, added to the existing threats of viruses, worms, hackers, and disgruntled employees, network admins need to deal with Half-Life cheaters.
I'm sure that network security books will be updated to include instructions for dealing with this new threat Real Soon Now.
(Seriously--WHO CARES???)

Queen rules! Aw yeah, "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Killer Queen", "Fat Bottom Girls"....
What's that? You mean there is an actual Queen of England? How 16th century!
Yeah, he would be awesome.
It takes somebody who can do "weird" to play the Doctor convincingly.
There is a difference between something happening and it being legal. So, BZZZT yourself.
And, even if they become likely to vote, it's legal to draft them and send them somewhere unpleasant until they're old enough to vote Republican.
It's probably just vaporware.
We really don't need a dead-tree edition of the goatse guy, now, do we?

StarOffice is based on OpenOffice.org, which is based on StarOffice.
Around and around we go!

if we think it will bump up our stock price.
BTW, I see that Darl's grandmother is on Ebay...
Yup, SCO hired a crew who "worked" at MIT, stealing laptops and selling drugs.
No, here's the real code:
#include "/dev/tty"
Gee, for some reason, profs who write textbooks tend to think that their textbook is the best on the subject.
Imagine that!
to replace the light bulb?
"I've been sending Linus emails describing my paranoid delusions, but he doesn't believe me. He's obviously an idiot."
Heh. I wonder if the Flat Earth Society is in need of a new CEO. I think that Darl's SCO gig is going to end Real Soon Now.
