Come adding up dozens of subjective measurements does not make you objective. Those numbers are totally arbitrary. And the machines come out almost the same in the end. Tweak any one of the measurements and you could have any box you want 'win' by a large margin.
It doesn't, and shouldn't, convince anyone who isn't already convinced.
. Having built my own PC (Win2k/Mandrake 8) when I went off to college last year, I can categorically say that I would go crazy if I had to administer a 700+ machine PC environment.
Think it's possible custom designed PCs designed and tested by actual engineers at places like HP and IBM might be easier to maintain then your homebrew dual boot box?
Could someone honestly complement another person by saying "Right on the money Weasel Boy!!"

keyboard basically == typewriter, which people have been using oh, for probably close to, if not more than, 100 years.
I've only been using keyboards for about 10-15 years or so. The fact that people in the past has no real baring on how easy to use it is
By the way you say the mouse isn't 'natural' or 'intuitive' but the keyboard is? I recall taking an actually keyboarding class for a semester to learn how you use it properly. It is in no way easy to use, it's just something you need to learn in order to function in today's society.
The mouse, on the other hand, only takes a couple minutes to get used to. And the multiple buttons arn't very difficult if their used consistently (like right mouse == menu)
LinuxNews.pl was the user who submitted it, CT was the one who posted it. What probably happened is that one of other the editors saw the artical dropped it, where as CT saw this one and posted it.
Regular human cells can't divide for ever, the ends of the DNA get eaten away slowly each time they do. Eventualy it gets into the imporntant stuff.
Cancer cells don't have that problem, as the ends, or telomers(sp?) are maintained. That way, you can have a huge amount of research material from just one small sample.
You need to be moving at a certan speed tangental to the orbit you want to be on. The speed is defined by how far away you are. If you were really, really, far away then you could orbit the earth at 1mile/year, but you would be much more affected by the sun and other celestial bodies.
Each word doc has a GUID attached with it. The author of the Melisa virus didn't remove his, making him very easy catch (same GUID on documents on his website)
I've never heard of anyone including an personal email address, though.
I started watching the Dubed version of Cowboy Bebop, and I was still blown away. Japanese with subtitles is great, but the English versions Aren't that bad. The acting was good, and the words actually 'fit' English pretty well
Less money will be made outside of the U.S. Less folks will go, it will be more expensive. Only stodgy "computer professionals" will show up. It might be kind of nice to weed out the script kiddies though.
It could be held in Mexico, only a few hundred miles difference between Vegas and Tijuana, you know.
How is threatening to sue people for money they don't have, and getting people in jail 'rational thought'?
Getting someone arrested over breaking your l33t-ass 'rot-13' encryption is not the pinnacle of rational thought. Just because Adobe backs down doesn't make them bad guys.
Because incredibly lazy people are the ones corporations really care about. I'm sure if I were bombarded with thousands of identical messages, I would change my ways...
The police can hold you for up to 48 hours without charging you with anything. Of course, if no one ever broke any laws, the whole thing point would be moot...

The adds still pop up, they just immediatly dissapear.
I rerouted ads.x10.com to localhost in my hosts file. Now I see my either my 404 error page or the root page when an add pops up.
It's kinda funny, actualy.
The add isn't really that annoying, actualy.
Asside from number 3, mozilla does have all of those features.
What I'd really like to see would be a way to see what popups were trying to pop up, incase some site had used pop-up navigation

Don't you mean SMTP?

ah slashdot, bastion of civil discourse.
HavenCo is looking for partners, not Sealand. Sealand is the 'country' HavenCo is in.
That's amazingly shitty

It says right there in the artical that he ran the simulation with software he helped develop on his home computer.
