... M10 (or M11, or whatever) is going to be called Pork Jet. Am I the only person for whom that conjures up images of a new line of printers from Hewlett Packard, all of them made of pork products?
For what it's worth, I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the GUI and the kernel in NT are separate, but if the GUI crashes, the kernel figures you must be royally screwed and promptly crashes as well. However, I don't remember where I read this, so take it with a grain of salt...
I think I'll run out to Staples or wherever, buy a CD burner and some bulk quantity of blank CDs, and start churning out my own RedHat ripoff distro. I'll call it Zed Hat. And all the basic utilities will be replaced with the BSD utilities, thus justifying rms's whining about calling the various distributions "GNU/Linux".
I took a few screen grabs from the video when it was aired on eMpTyV. If you're impatient (like me) and you can't wait to download an entire video file, you can see them here.
A few thousand years from now, in a galaxy far, far away, on an alien planet... ALIEN RESEARCHER #1: Hey, N'Gaa'Thok, check it out. We're getting something. ALIEN RESEARCHER #2:[looks at monitor] Wow. RESEARCHER #1: Hmm. Looks like it came from the Milky Way.. from a planet called Earth. Let's see if we can translate it. RESEARCHER #2: Okay. [types in some commands] RESEARCHER #1: This could take a while. Wanna get some coffee or something? RESEARCHER #2: Sure. ... they leave the lab to go get some coffee, come back an hour or so later... RESEARCHER #1: Okay, let's see what it's got so far. "Make money fast... Free hot XXX sluts..." RESEARCHER #2: "Make money while you surf..." More "free hot XXX sluts"... RESEARCHER #1:[sighs] Just as I thought. We are the only intelligent life in the universe.
in the for what it's worth department, emachines also offers machines with k6 and celeron processors.. my dad, for example, has the 333k, which has a 333mhz k6.
Veering further off topic, a similar thing happened here back in April. A very popular "new rock" station called 96X went down without a word one Sunday night. The next morning, they had been replaced with a periodically looping blurb directing the listeners of "the former 96X" to the local top-40 station, Y105. At around 9am, they had been completely replaced with "Kiss 96", an R&B oldies station. 96X and the station that replaced it are owned by Cumulus Broadcasting. 96X had just put on a large concert with some big-name bands (no small feat, since it was just a dinky local station in an area that usually isn't first on the list for big-name concerts), and they had what many people thought was the best morning show in the area. The obvious question is, what was Cumulus Broadcasting smoking?...ah, but I suppose this isn't really the proper forum for this. Oh well...
Everyone here seems to think EFnet == IRC. That's obviously not the case. There are several other networks out there like Undernet, DALnet, and AUSTnet, and of those three examples, the latter two have nickname registration services that have options to prevent unauthorized people from using your nickname. Oh well. At least you people know the difference between the client and the server (unlike so many newbies who say "hey dood ill see u on mirc!!!11")
No one's website is `worth' being hacked, least of all a hate group's or anti-religion organization's. Most of these websites recieve little to no attention from the general public. If someone were to hack them, it would quite likely make it on every major network's evening news program, and then they'd be getting a whole lot of undeserved attention. I also disagree with your statement that anti-religion organizations' websites should be hacked on the basis that I'm an agnostic and could be considered to be anti-religion, or at least lacking in the religion department. In any case, s long as they're not harassing you, don't harass them.
News flash. The world doesn't revolve around you. Neither does this site. Besides, I'm sure there are quite a few photography (nerd|geek)s out there that would be interested to hear about this.
Primestar's not going out of business. DirecTV did, however, buy them out and will be replacing Primestar subscribers' equipment with DirecTV equipment.

Oh no! Now who will support my vintage 1988 Hercules mono video card in my spare 486?!
Try being a bit more subtle.

openness: wicket, 76%
conscientiousness: han solo, 8%
extroversion: wampas, 5%
agreeability: emperor palpatine, 1%
nervousness/high-strungness: tuscan warriors, 96%

Setting up a TLD is quite easy if you already know how to run nameservers. Getting everyone to recognize it, however, is another matter entirely...

This isn't freshmeat.
You might want to repost that with the pointy brackets replaced with the appropriate HTML entities...
Uh-oh, slashdot must've fallen into a wormhole again...

I'll admit it. ALF was one of my favourite TV shows... when I was five years old.
...Catastropic Explosion Follows. Film at 11.
It was also used in the Hewlett Packard OmniGo a few years back.
