Firebird has a large number of "extensions" available, one of them being AdBlock. Right-click on an image, choose AdBlock, and you can add a filter for images (for instance http://ads.*.com/*). Flash Click to View is also handy; animations won't play unless you click on them.
I manage the catch-all computer account for my University's domain (help@, postmaster@, root@, abuse@, webmaster@, etc). Since Monday we've been getting 50-100 of these damn virus scanner replies per hour, as well as questions from many users asking who the hell sent this from their account? Its annoying, frustrating, and a complete waste of time and bandwidth.

I play Quake, Unreal Tournament, America's Army, etc. on Linux. Can't think of any better games that I'd want to play on Linux -- nor any that I can't.
Agreed! I just got GTA3 Vice City yesterday. It installs and runs under Linux no problem, using WineX 3.1!
You missed my point. It's not "his" description. He ripped it off from someone else. And it's not very insightful anyway. For every "gentoo zealot" that doesn't know what they're talking about, there's plenty of us that DO know why Gentoo is so great.
I sure don't think it's overkill. All of my packages are optimized for my cpu, and thanks to USE flags, I only have the options I want. I want Mozilla, but only the browser, not the mail?
USE="moznomail" nice emerge mozilla
Less bloat makes me happy.
Besides, if you don't like compiling stuff (I typically nice it, my machine is perfectly usable while compiling) there are binary packages for many larger programs such mozilla and openoffice. These take only minutes to emerge.
Um, no. SPD are allowed to wear their uniforms while they are off-duty, providing security or directing traffic for private companies. Have you ever seen a cop standing around in a grocery store late at night? They're paid by the store, not the city.

Exactly right. I originally had the NVDriver module, which really sucked. Then I upgraded to the nvidia driver (closed source:( ) and I'm now getting ~1275 fps in glxgears.
But there are plenty of applications where nanotubes could replace steel. A cable (from an airplane part to a suspension bridge) immediately comes to mind. I would imagine that the strands could be woven together, just like steel cables.
This year, I decided to make the leap from dual-boot to linux only on my desktop (MS was wastin' my disk space). Of course, I had to have Counter-Strike, or I would've gone mad. I started off with plain-vanilla wine, but even with opengl configured perfectly, I couldnt get the fps I needed (my machine 866mhz p3 512mb ram, geforce2 32mb vid card). I got winex 2.x, which worked marginally better, but still not acceptable. When winex 3.0 came out, I snatched it up. My fps is decent now, but still not native-Windows quality. I guess the moral of the story is: specialized wines are better. I think it's terriffic that so many people/groups are utilizing the wine core, and optimizing it for whatever. Thanks to TransGaming and others.
Posters: READ THE GODDAMN ARTICLE! You look like an idiot is you reply based on just the summary. It's pretty ovious a good number of posters haven't read it.
Editors: Stop posting stories with misleading summaries! It confuses the Slashdot community, who likes to post their knee-jerk reactions.
I'm gonna lose my karma for this, so be it. Slashdot sucks more and more every day, with duplicates, misleading summaries, and Ask Slashdots that could be solved by Googling, eopinions.com (Color laser printer), or reading your manual ("broken" V-chip is actually CC text mode).

Well...my school (I work for computing dept.) uses AIX 4.x on a majority of our systems...including our email, web publishing, and research clusters, which are all RS/6000's. They're remarkably stable:

Have you registered your email address? Have you filed any complaints with the attorney general? Have you filed a lawsuit? Please don't complain if you haven't. It's like complaining about Bush, and having not voted.

If I had mod points, I'd give them all to you.
eh...94 dependencies in Gentoo (assuming an empty tree).
Why not just call it the "Fox Dropped the Ball on Hilarious Cartoons Channel"
does acroread count as the real deal??
I've never noticed any lack of quality with xpdf...
What's wrong with xpdf? or GGV?
You could always go with oil cooling. Mmmm, mmmm, deep-fried packets.

RADAR TECH.: I'm having trouble with the radar, sir.
HELMET: What's wrong with it?
RADAR TECH.: I've lost the bleeps, I've the lost the sweeps, and I've lost the creeps.
HELMET: The what?
SANDURZ: The what?
HELMET: And the what?
RADAR TECH.: You know. The bleeps, the sweeps, and the creeps.
HELMET: That's not all he's lost.
RADAR TECH.: Sir. The radar, sir. It appears to be... jammed.
HELMET: Jammed? Raspberry. There's only one man who would dare give me the raspberry. Lone Starr!
Once you have things to do in your life, and a worthwhile existence, you may find that you'll have better things to do than compile code from source.
Ummm...it's not like we have to sit there and watch it compile.

It's sad that Slashdot has gotten bored bashing windows, now the distro wars are heating up.
It's even sadder that you post this crap that has been posted verbatim several times before (that I've seen), and you didn't write.
And yes, I use Gentoo. And yes, it DOES kick ass.

Don't confuse the difference between "USA" and (un-elected) "President" Bush.
Exactly. The trick is to assume that everyone on the road will do the stupidest thing possible, because they probably will.
