It is commonly accepted now to use "who" in place of "whom". "Whom" is still ok, but "who" is no longer wrong when used in the same way. So unless you're still using "thy" and "thou" in everyday speech, you have no ground on which to bitch:)
Actually, that might not be a bad question to throw in there, just to see what their reaction is. If they don't skip a beat and answer "how much do you want?" or "how much will it take?", you know that this is probably somebody who's going to fuck you/everybody over later...
This is NOT informative, unless I see a source to prove otherwise...293 million people includes every man, woman, baby, etc. Is the 1050 gal/year the average split across the whole group, or among the driving populace only? If the latter, it's a lot less than 297 billion gallons/year, which seems high to me, but again I have no sources to go by because parent didn't provide a link to where he saw this info.
Just remember, 50% of the population is below average and 93% of all statistics are false.
Well, for HTML, the "compiler" is the web browser in effect, so instant gratification can be had, moreso even than a "Hello World" program in *insert language here*.
The "official" version was PUBLICALLY released 2 days ago. Mandrake 10.0 Community Edition came out a few months ago, late Feb/early March as I recall. And it most certainly used the 2.6 kernel as its primary.
No offense, but sounds like Mandrake would be a better distro for you, if you're using KDE as the default and installing all the "wrong license" packages (which are already included in Mandrake).
People like you and the article writer don't realize that it takes more than sheer number of pixels to beat 35mm...also, he's talking about a consumer scanner (4000dpi, that's what I got for $300 by Minolta, nice machine) vs. a drum scanner....see http://www.arizonahighways.com/page.cfm?name=Photo _Talk803 for more or http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/filmdig.htm for even more.
So low-end consumers will get better quality from film and professionals will too. Mid-range consumers MAYBE can match film, since they can't afford a drum scanner (but that's what the local lab is for). Sorry, but digital's not quite there yet.
The fact that he mentions negatives when talking about film vs. digital shows that he doesn't understand how and why most pros outside of journalism still use film.
I tried FC 1 three different times and was unhappy every time. I had considered trying FC 2, but now I'm glad I haven't...I think I'll stick with MDK 10.0 Official...it doesn't have any problems with my win2k partition.

It's "grammar".
Dear Slashdot Grammar Nazi,

Ah, the wonders of a dynamic language!
You can't just take off your tin foil hat like that...they can read thought RESIDUE, after all.
Reason, Consumer Reports, Business Week, Sports Illustrated.
Reason is highly recommended. Lots of great content. You can get most if not all of it for free at http://www.reason.com/.
Considering he didn't spell "Adolf" right, I'm not surprised it took that long...
It comes up when I hit "prev" instead of "next" now.

Oh no! THAT one is corrupted! Shit!
Why did you waste your time dancing around the issue, making it plainly obvious to anyone what you mean when you could have just come out and said it?
Yes because curbing demand has worked so well in the past...remember prohibition, or the war on drugs?
I prefer Shakes McJunkie and the Hammurder. Stabble stabble stabble!

No doubt, but they do the same thing for someone new to programming. First you write a bunch of code, then you "compile" it and see the result.

Have you tried Mandrake's Galaxy? Same idea, but I feel it's far less gaudy.
Chris
Actually, Mandrake 10 was long before FC2.

Well, they just hired or are looking to hire someone to be dedicated to the Club, so hopefully it's going to get better soon.
I have three months left on my year...only time will tell if I renew.

Yeah, and Slashdot is a US Centric site. Read the FAQ.

I just hope this doesn't facilitate the return of the Pog.
