How the hell is marketing responsible for crap code? Because they forced the product out too soon? Even after years of patching products they're still not secure, so it can't be that.
If only we had made the doctors of 300 years ago vote in the hand washing polls on slashdot, we could've exposed them for the dirty buggers that they were and saved many lives.
What's even funnier, is that the 'benchmarks' were ripped off from The Inquirer, who's source was some guy who apparently sneaked onto an AMD machine at linuxworld and ran the benchmarks.
It's sad that slashdot actually linked to such utter shit. I'd accuse them of being paid for links, but it's not like it's the first time...
The original poster based his argument on the fact that emulation results in lower performance. The person who replied was pointing out that this point is moot because wine is not an emulator, therefore the argument doesn't even apply to wine.
That aint being pedantic, that's telling someone they are wrong.
Are you implying that it can't be dead because it was never alive? If so, consider that for something to be dead, it doesn't have to be alive first. If you kill something, yes it would have to be alive in order to be able to be killed.

Glen: "I wish to God that somebody would do something to block out the voices in my head for five minutes. Voices that scream over and over; 'Why do they come to me to die? Why do they come to me to die?"
According to the BBC story, this is the first rock to get a positive value, so does that mean that previously we should've been less and less worried about astroids each day before it?
Give us a fucking break! Do you expect that our nation of 19.7 million people be responsibile for the whole southern hemisphere? What do you think we'd do even if we did spot something out there? Put it in mandatory detention?!
supermount is entirely adequate, IMO. Sure there may be dangers removing floppies, but then again, do we *really* need floppies still? I thought we were over the days where we'd save our documents to 8 different disks and hope one of them worked when we got to work...
Would I be wrong in assuming you don't live in a city which gets very hot in summer? People die in extreme heat.
If you get cold, you put on more clothes and cover yourself in a blanket. If you get hot, you either find shade, cover yourself in water and sit in front of a fan, live underground or thank god you have an A/C.
ATI just introduced a card that destroys the competition performance wise. If slashdot didn't report on that, would you accuse them of taking payola from Nvidia as hush money?
The connectiva crystal icon set will be SVG icons, and the developer Everaldo intends on having the icon set finished in time for conclusion in KDE 3.1

I tried running trillian on linux using WINE, and it worked flawlessly, except you had to click send instead of being able to send a message by pressing enter.
Can't wait for Big Blue to rock up and kick both their asses:)

Then there's the jetpack scene. Guy in jetpack is flying around at incredible lift/weight ratios with standard rocket propelled thrust. As if that wasn't bad enough, these things can actually cary THREE PEOPLE, with armor weapons and backpacks! And all of this done with about an 8 inch flame. And evidently for a gosh-darn good amount of time.
Even more amazing is that these rocket packs don't burn the persons leg off when they're flying around.
Heh. Paying to see this movie is a spoiler in itself, but anyways.
My favourite bit. In the future, when pre crime predicts that one of their own officers is going to commit murder, they decide that removing your security privelidges isn't necessary. You can walk right on in to 'the temple' , where the @#$%ing precogs are lying around, and it's all fine and dandy because the lazy bastard pre crime admin doesn't see any problem with letting a fugitive access the building.
Bravo to the story writer on that one.
Oh here's a classic - The pre cogs have apparently been lying in that stupid indoor pool for 6 years, and they have more of a tan than me.
And i'd love to see who was in charge of all those usability studies which showed that clean sheets of glass are much easier to read text on than todays computer monitors.

Dude, you've just pissed off a whole heap of trek fans :\

Since Al Gore invented the internet.
Just make sure that if you do move to California, don't file for divorce there. The judge will probably find that your wife owns half your idea.
Personally i'd choose employer over wife.
Would it not be worthwhile comparing the sales of linux to the sales of cd burners and broadband internet access? They seem related to me.
I'm getting sick of people having to explain this over and over again.
I propose that wine be renamed WINFE.

On slashdot, we celebrate and wish Code Red, one of the biggest pains in the ass in recent memory, a 'happy birthday' .
Then we drop a note to... point out that it's the anniversary of airconditioning.

Even better. Wait for the latest Nvidia or ATI card to implement divx decoding in hardware.
