Cheese, Pasta you made last night **and remembered to put in the refrigerator**, soy sauce, olive oil or butter or margarine.
Put some olive oil in a pan and heat it up a little bit. Plunk the pasta in the pan and stir it occaisonally. Make sure to let some parts get nice and crispy. Add more olive oil as needed to keep it from drying out. When all the pasta is hot enough to kill anything that might have grown in it since you made it, start grating cheese directly onto the pasta in the pan, turn off the heat, then continue adding cheese. If it's a non-stick pan you can stir it up to melt the cheese faster. Finally, add the soy sauce, but not too much.

Open Source exists to provide quality software where there is crappy software or there is no software. Also, Open Source is a security blanket against a bug preventing something mission-critical from going forward.

There's lots of really cool free software out there that isn't open source or Free Software.
The English language is not controlled by the OSI or FSF (not that I think they're trying to). When a company offers their product "for free" it still means free as in beer unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. You don't expect to get the recipe to Twix when you're getting a free sample, do you?

or major unix vendors open sourcing little tidbits as a sacrifice to the holy open source. Either way, it's good.
I see SCO as the Linux alternative for companies that really need an x86 UNIX, don't feel good about open source, and don't want to deal with Sun.

Interesting how you post as an Anonymous Coward yet if give dates of your employment. Gee, how hard would it be to track down everyone who was hired for Delphi R&D in 97? -- "I got it running, grabbed a rocket launcher, and fired down a hallway." --John Carmack
As many people have pointed out, Delphi is very tied to Windows, so it would be difficult to port Delphi to Linux.
While this is true, it is missing the point. I think trying to make a direct port of Delphi to Linux would be a mistake, but the fact is Delphi is NOT just the VCL. The VCL is what is tied to Windows, not the IDE.
P.S. Tag, you're it.
A Borland-made RAD tool for X would not necessarily be named Delphi. It would be cool to have a RAD tool that let you develop with whatever libraries, components, toolkits, widgets, you wanted. I have seen soooo many apps for X that were great at what they were designed for but were buggy and very ugly UIs. A Delphi-quality tool would let the developers focus on the guts. The big decision would really be whether to go the Delphi way and have a language custom-built for that type of environment or to go with C++ which looks UGLY when used in a RAD environment. Though I love Object Pascal, C++ seems more reasonable to me since Linux developers love open standards and Object Pascal is completely controlled by Borland. -- "I got it running, grabbed a rocket launcher, and fired down a hallway." --John Carmack
I wonder how long it will be before Symantec announces Visual Cafe for Linux.
Borland announced JBuilder 3 for Linux a while ago. Now IBM is in the game.
As far as I know, ALL of the RAD tools seem bloated and clunky. That's because they are all written in Java to some extent. In order for a bean to look correct at design time, the IDE would have to be actually running the bean's code.
Now if we could only get compilers to generate native machine code from Java, then we'd have a good step towards a good tool for X development. Doesn't something like this already exist? What platforms?
I'm no astronomer, but what research I've done on Mars leads me to one conclusion. Mars just doesn't have enough resources to support very many humans. Unless there is hidden water somewhere (the ice caps are mostly C02), water is going to be really scarce.
Maybe Mars can support, say, Los Angeles. If humans are in such a bind that population is growing too fast and there's no space on Earth, Mars isn't going to save us.
While cloning and genetic engineering are very interesting, I don't think the human race is ready for it. We're just not responsible enough. See the movie Gattaca for a good explanation of why.
sure wish Fry's had a web page, so I didn't have to rely on the newspaper. Of course, then they'd have to deal with their whole Low Price Kinda Guarantee being inferior to internet prices.

How about when you are generating the Post Comment box, you embed an id code of some sort in it. If it gets posted twice, slash either ignores the second post or overwrites the first one.
I don't give much credit to Apple's hardware requirements. They just want people to have one more excuse to buy the snazzy looking new G3 boxes their practical selves have been holding off on.
They listed the requirements for playing the high-res Star Wars trailer as a G3 300 or a PII 400. Turns out, it plays just fine on my PII 333. I bet it would play just fine on a PII 300 too. They just wanted people to say "look, I guess a G3 300 is as fast as a Pentium II 400".
I think the reason so many/.ers are concerned with this whole Mitnik thing is not necessarily that they sympathize with crackers as much as they are infuriated at the idiotic way the government deals with technology.

You're making a statement about how you feel that slashdot should stick to Linux/BSD news instead of this pesky, frivolous Quake and Star Wars stuff.
Heaven forbid "News For Nerds" could also mean stuff that's fun.
I hear you. I'm sure Rob is working on a way for you to filter out all the entertaining news so you can stick to things like "New RTFMLib 0.89.01 Released".

Any studies linking learning Arabic or Japanese writing to the loss of ability to write english?

...not just Intel, AMD is a tougher competitor now more than ever. AMD has the anything-but-Intel-yet-compatible-with-Intel market pretty well cornered. Cyrix is relegated to the dirt-cheap sector, where there isn't much profit.
I believe the main reason Win2000 was pushed back is because it was not backwards-compatible enough.
Now, M$ is SHIPPING Win2000 beta! Why? Because that way, they shift the responsibility for compatibility to the software developers, not themselves. All the suckers who start using Win2000 beta will pester the software makers for versions that work on Win2000 beta. (I support developers. I've dealt with this personally). After all, their MS software works with Win2000 beta, why doesn't yours!? Many software makers will comply and the whole compatibility issue will be a moot point (at least moot enough that MS won't have to worry about it).
It's a design flaw if the designers had anything to do with choosing to use 2-digit dates.
If they just used a library that has a y2k design flaw, and consequently their program starts adding negative numbers or dividing by zero, then it is a bug in their program.
Remember, hindsight is always 20/20. There used to be a time when 2-digits and the assosciated processor time used to deal with them were a significant overhead, especially at the OS level where time is dealt with alot. This does NOT apply to Wintendo.
