Could your mom install it? No? If a normal person (as opposed to a Linux user) needs help to install something, it doesn't matter how easy the software is to use. Compare an mplayer install to the install of a DVD player under Windows. Quite contrasting experiences, as you can imagine.
You mean the FDIV bug, right? Unless they're going to let people run code on the machines as they walk through, which I doubt.;)

This would have been funny if you would have hit the 'Preview' button before posting. For example:
Ingredients:
Linux
The words "beowulf cluster"
Subject of the article
Beat subject of article, beowulf cluster, and Linux in a large mixing bowl, bake at 350 degrees for 42 minutes, and let cool before serving. Example: I want to see a beowulf cluster of these running linux!
According to this, NT was originally developed for the i860 so it wouldn't be tied to x86. It's a pretty smart idea for somebody developing a portable operating system, and I applaud Microsoft for the good decision.
In addition, IBM plans to offer the processor as the centerpiece of future Linux-based systems, the sources said. As reported this week by eWEEK, IBM recently announced that it would soon introduce new versions of its high-end p690 and p670 servers designed to run Linux native, in place of IBM's own AIX operating system.
I realize that this will never happen, but I get really tired of having everything non-standard and haveing to recreate my desktop whenever a new version comes out.

Seriously, such an esteemed academic institution shouldn't deny it's students of those basic rights.
I sure hope it works in the browser from the same damn company.
Where'd you find a lock with "destruct" on it?
These companies will end up destroying themselves.
Your point?
Same thing goes for retinal scanners. If I lodge a screwdriver in my eye socket the next time Windows crashes, I'll be locked out of my machine.
You shouldn't dismiss something purely because it's from "Micro$haft", kids.
Now if they say that surround sound is going to be "increasingly important in future offices," however...
Don't talk crap about "ActiveSomething" names.
Who needs ProTools...
Umm, well, Pros?

It looks as if Mandrake finally invested in some professional graphics design. Those old icons looked like hell compared to 9.0's.
it's big endian and all!
Sorry to nit pick, but the x86 is little endian.
K-Meleon hasn't been updated in ages, though. The latest release is based on the Mozilla 0.9.5 milestone.

Yeah, more GNU/Linux hardware.
FeeBSD? Is that a new name for BSD/OS?
I think it's Apple's implementation of goatse.cx. But don't quote me, IANAAFB (I Am Not An Apple Fanboy).
People who prefer sex over The Real Thing (TM), of course.
/me looks at his North American Keith Courage in Alpha Zones card and sees a "HuCard" logo in the lower-right corner.
This game is (c) 1989, though. They could have changed after that.

It has happened. It's called Mac OS X.
