Get R4.5 now. IIRC there currently is a $100 bundle with the Gobe Productive office suite. You'll get all the other R4.x releases free (it is rumoured that there will be another before R5), and R5 will only set you back an additional $25. If you just want to play around though, snag a Demo CD in some mag or order it.
First it was "front side bus" in the text. Then you get : front->face (should be forehead), side->side (babelfish lets unknown words go through) and bus->drunk (bus was taken to be the participe passe of boire).
I'm certainly missing something here. Macki says GOP.gov is a violation of the RFC and shouldn't be allowed. Then Roblimo says (roughly) "I don't agree with Macki's opinion, it should be GOP.org and not GOP.gov". Don't you two agree then ?
The problem is that the "reasons" you gave were so lame that nobody cared to correct you. The binary incompatibility between R3 and R4 was because of purely technical reasons : ELF just sucks less than PE. By the way, in case you didn't notice, binary compatibility is broken every few Linux kernel releases. Yes, it matters to a lot of people. No, having the source available doesn't make their life a lot easier.
This is just another sad proof that arming everyone is not a good idea. As if you Americans needed more.
I wonder how many/.ers know that one of the most well-known personalities here, ESR himself, is a raving gun-advocate. I was quite shocked to learn that, as he seemed a nice guy at first. Not so. Here's a quote from his home page : "[I] load blue-tip Glaser rounds for home defense. In case they fail to penetrate and I can't make a head shot, the last round in the mag is hardball."
I know I'm not going to stay in the same room as that person !

I really love the 'nested' mode. The one thing that always slows me down (and bores me) when reading comments is the huge delay everytime the entire page has to be loaded (ie, whenever I click on a link). This delay makes the "threaded" mode completely unusable, for example.
Here are a few suggestions to improve the user experience : - split the comments into several pages - I usually find posts which contain an URL very useful, regardless of the contents of the post proper. Why not have, for each story, a repository of the suggested URLs that is easily accessible ? Most of the time I care more for supplemental information than for a bunch of opinions.

Hmm, you pay for your TV subscription, right ?
So you're paying to receive ads.
Am I wrong ?
