Internet Explorer will give a friendly error page, but also the complete error message (yes, including the 404 at the bottom).
Why the assumption that the original poster was on drugs? I also didn't like the default "friendly" error message which I disabled immediately -- I also didn't notice the obscured error message at the very bottom in small text.
IE also lets you explore FTP sites completely as if they were part of your filesystem. Unlike Netscape, it'll display ALL information the FTP site sends you (including hello message) on the left frame in explorer.
Great. IE is also integrated into Explorer. It can easily exploit that advantage. So you're saying that Netscape doesn't "display ALL information the FTP site sends you (including hello message)"? The simple HTML-like FTP interface is _not_ horrible.
Netscape is GOD DAMN SLOW.

I don't know about you, but I don't resize my browser window much. You do have a point though, and I've also seen that point mentioned in an article I read linked via Slashdot. Zealotry aside (and I really do HATE that word from reading Slashdot over the years), I still prefer Netscape over IE. In my opinion, it renders faster and has a nicer feel (scrolling). Of course no one will believe me and instantly label me a "zealot" for simply claiming that Netscape is better than IE.
You don't need to use a for loop, I use Info-ZIP's portable unzip/zip (comes with most Linux distributions, and/or are available as packages) in both Linux and Windows and you can just as easily do unzip *.zip.
I did a little research and found an article on CNN from April. For the most part, it states that Bush would be more "friendly" towards Microsoft and that he wished for early settlement. It also has a blurb about Gore, which generally says that he is staying silent (swaying to neither side) and quoted him on saying that it is "being handled according to due process of law."
No one is forcing authors to put their code under the GPL. If they wish to put their code under a "crappy, worthless piece of a license" then that's their decision. Personally, I wouldn't want people using my open code in closed source software.
MP3s are already compressed. I believe decompressing data be too much overhead for slower machines. (Possible DoS attack.) Decoding an MP3 on my old P75 slowed it to a crawl.
You would see that kinda stuff on Linux if they decided to port it. If they're going to make their own format, they should AT LEAST make it portable, or only people under Windows/Mac will be able to use it. That's exactly what they want.
I've noticed a lot of places that offered RealAudio streaming now converted to Windows Media Player (i.e. a local radio station), which means that I wouldn't be able to listen to it unless I use Windows (or Mac, if they do have such a port -- note they have money invested into Apple). That's why it's wrong. Plus, RealPlayer works well under NATs, which WMP could hardly stream @28.8Kbps on Cable.
I haven't seen anything about MPEG-4, but nevertheless it's an open standard and will most likely have an open source library with support for it, if there isn't one already. Lastly, the Windows Media Player Features page doesn't mention anything about MPEG-4, either.
I think dselect is very efficient and isn't as difficult as its made out to be as long as you read the documentation and familiarize yourself with the keystrokes, which are straightforward. Plus, the functionality is there (or am I missing something?), and I don't find it very annoying. Surely, alternatives are good, but there are hostilities towards it and, for some reason, blamed for the difficulty of installing Debian.
The scary part: they're not joking. Slashdot is almost an online cult. The Slashdot Effect is only the First Wave. I'm sure Cade Foster lurks somewhere in the forums.
What incentive, then, will they have to include Linux binaries in future releases? The mindset will be that the Linux users will buy the game anyways and they would simply allow you to download them online, without support, although the other supported OSes get it for the same (high) price, part of which I'm assuming FOR the support. The risk is that the Linux users will never get support, and the distributor is still making money. So what will they care?
I tried `startx -- -dpi 96' and I don't think I noticed a difference. I reconfigured X and I haven't noticed any noise... yet. BTW: What does that do? I checked various manpages, couldn't find anything. Thanks.
I met my girlfriend on IRC, and we've been going out for over 16 months. She lives about 20-30 minutes away from me, so we only get to see each other about once a week (due to school and distance). We talk on the phone everyday. Suffice to say, it works.

The difference is that IE is "tied" into the operating system. You're not _required_ to have telnet, or Lynx, or an equivalent of Lynx.

I can remember being able to do this Milestones past. My main concern is that it runs too slow.

Also noted on both pages is:
Perhaps that's why he has it off-server as well. I would say it's authoratitive. (The report, anyway.)
Perhaps if it had ANY relevancy to Linux AT ALL. Plus, get this: it was a joke. No non sequiturs please, ACs. Thank you.
It is, in fact, "GNU command line utilities" since they are not Linux-specific. They're used in BSDes as well, I believe.

To prevent procreation, surely. And/or enacted for some fatcat to do this legally.
It's all a conspiracy.

So, those who do not conform to your morals, standards, or whatever that die do not matter?
As I recall, the U.S. doesn't have an official language.
Actually, anything that is yours is copyrighted to you unless stated otherwise.
There is no humor without relevancy in the context.
It was not a rant about Microsoft products, did you read the original post? TweakUI is, as well, a Microsoft product, either way. Big deal.
His claim was that for applications that ran on both Windows and Linux, the Windows counterpart always ran better. You make no sense.
