I think it would be easier to get an snes emulator for your CE machine.
I agree. It's always easier to get something ready made. But it's not FUN!!! Imagine if Linus had thought "Oh, I could just buy a copy of Windows, it's easier."
It's not the Windows monopoly that scares me, it's the state-supported (and enforced) absolute control of content by a handful of megacorps and their political wings / cartel front operations (the **AA groups).
I, too, used to be afraid of AA groups. Then I joined one. "Hello, my name is Scorcherer and I am a Slashdoholic."
Yes, and where in my comment did I use the word "Linux"? Are you holding me personally responsible for the contents of an off-site article that I didn't write? Do not deny it! Answer me now! I DEMAND JUSTICE!
No, I was trying to point out that the author of that article was FUDing about. Then I had a go at FUDing, by noting the Redmond-WU connection;-). So the FUD just goes around in circles, in the end it does not matter that much.
IANAUSCitizen, so this will remain a typical/. whine. Anyway, it's a huge problem that people pay for buggy software. Bugs are acceptable with OSS because the users are the beta testers. But if I pay for software, I expect that the company behind it is RESPONSIBLE for any defects. This is currently not the case with M$. You all know the joke 'if billg had a nickel for every BSOD' but in fact, it would be fair if they paid me a compensation for every notable defect I suffer. Why is M$, and the software industry in general, so special that they can just sell crap 'as is' with no warranties? More importantly, why do people accept it? Or do they just think that computers are inherently buggy?

Light at the end of the carpal tunnel.
Interesting, I've never had carpal tunnel problems, maybe it's because I do Yoga.
Or you could just wait for speach recognition.
Speech recognition for hacking Perl, anyone?
OK, the head is not exactly pyramidal, but the number 23 does appear there (length of tentacles).
P.S. "Mr. Baggins, I find your lack of cowardice disturbing.."
Time for some yellow journalism:
As I jumped into that pool, my face turned from :) into XP.

Well, it probably won't take off until you add some wings, rocket engines (hydrogen powered, of course) and a flux capacitor.
I think I have to westawt /etc/init.d/fudd (that's FUD-daemon, not Elmew)

When the noise level increases, S/N goes down (as on Usenet).
What does that mean, anyway? Did someone just pee on the newspaper?

The article is named 'Linux FTP security flaw...' but goes on to the real point, that the flaw is in WU-FTPD. Who's FUDing now?
By the way, is the Washington in WU as in Redmond, Washington? That could easily explain the poor security of their products.. FUD FUD FUD ;-)
post a link to the picture of 'another gaping security hole'.

doomI just walked past King's College, Therefore I should be modded up for being incredibly relevant to this article.
Haven't read the book, but I'm sure it's a complex tale -- for it has real and imaginary parts.
On one of the cans it says 'Old Fisherman'. I'm feeling sick already.
What about the embedded market?
Oh yeah, something like 'giant' in French. But how would I know, we're all just ignorant /.ers and the world still revolves around America.

They're burning a combination of hydrogen and oxygen. 'Nuff said.
How are you going to hide the WOTD from the worm?

The next thing they'll 'innovate' is a whiter shade of pale.
