Apart from what it should be, dank113 correctly observes that from that Angry Flower comic one would conclude that the possessive form of "it" is "it's". I suppose catfood should have chosen a different comic.
Exactly how are reiserfs and ext3 more advanced than XFS? Online resizing, DMAPI, EA's, pagebuf, VERY mature userspace tools (copied from IRIX with years of testing behind it).
SGI are doing a great job on XFS. It's the #1 Linux journalling FS for me.
I'm a fan of grub, I run it everywhere. It's just that this
BIOS is being a bitch and won't do LBA properly.
GRUB just keeps repeating its name, lilo repeats
the number "02" over and over. Apparently the
relevant partition is past sector 1024 and the
BIOS won't do anything else. I hate Phoenix.
I created a grub boot floppy (with a kernel)
and boot from that. It's not pretty, but it'll
work until I repartition and create a small/boot
partition.
Iiyama has some great service in.nl.
I had a problem with a 22" CRT display, I phoned,
we agreed on a date and some guy collected my
monitor and provided me with a 19" replacement
so I wouldn't be without. A week later the defective monitor was brought back. All without
paying a single €.
It seems "hack"-like features are defined as "things that could have been done in a library but ended up as part as the syntax instead".
For example, where Ruby has a * operator for strings and perl has the x operator which does essentially the same, PHP (also a very string oriented language) uses str_repeat().
As far as my recollection of Smalltalk goes, it has one of the most elegant and simple syntaxes I know. What exactly are the hack-like features of Smalltalk, in your opinion?

No.
As a web browser, Mozilla should be able to withstand maliciously formatted content. It really is a bug.

Dude, nobody uses dselect (except Ian himself maybe). Everyone else uses straight apt-get.
The Debian installer is already plenty user friendly, just not beginner friendly. Quite a difference if you ask me (and sometimes even opposites!)
yep.
The poster is Dutch. In .nl we spell the element
"aluminium" and pronounce it like that, too.

Slightly off-topic, sorry.
You lucky, lucky bastard!
I can't even get mine to say more than "LI" =P
It's probably so much fast just because your version of Linux has a dummy fsync() call. It's happened, around 2.4.9 or something.
It's Philips, not "Phillips".

Uh. I think I heard RMS once too often.

You can order yours here!
"grammar nazi"? Oh, you're from Germany. Figures.
zsh can optionally disable that feature as well (and reenable it on request for specific operations). I already configured it to do that ;)
What's wrong with it? It's my personal favourite, the only thing I don't like is its license...
The problem he mentions is quite relevant. It is the same problem as described in posting #2272404.
It doesn't take a company to do that. Debian GNU/Linux is a volunteer effort, and it's doing very well.
but where is my apt-get upgrade?

A stricter application of the law might be more wholesome in two ways:
a) people who violate copyrights, regardless of whether that is the GNU GPL or of some flick, should be prosecuted.
b) don't harass people by shutting down their connection. Go to court. There's a reason for having courts, you know.
Funny how the printable version contains clickable links and animated GIFs. I bet that would work great with a printer.
Why doesn't Ruby pass that closure as a normal object (with a `yield' method)?
Somehow special-casing this closure thing, which is supposed to be a Proc-object, looks icky to me.
