I, for one, am glad that they are giving us the opportunity to properly form our incriminating evidence against ourselves. I was convinced that I would need to come up with my own file spec for that.
How come more companies don't do the "silent" thing?
Uh, because most companies use "real" cooling solutions, most of which aren't "silent". Putting the heat into the walls, by the way, doesn't miraculously remove the heat, it just relocates it to another area.
I know its cool and all to put in a post with a lot of witty utterances, but did anyone actually go and *listen* to the damned thing?
Conceptually, its a very interesting way to relate the data and make it listenable at the same time. You can get a feel for the intensity and the general subject matter from the snippets being thrown at you.
Granted, its mostly artsy-fartsy and of no "real" value, but stuff like this is good for clearing out the old noodle...
These things weren't funny back in the days of gopher. Why oh why must the geek stereotypes be reinforced? Geek humor != funny in most cases. At the very least, none of these will get you laid at the holiday Xmas party.
I know that you've referred to yourself in the third person as interviews and portrayed your public persona as "The Shatner" and somewhat distant from your true self.
To what extent is the day-to-day Bill Shatner the same as your larger-than-life persona?
I'm sure ICANN can't be too happy with VS for its somewhat shady business practices recently. Is this just them using a techinicality to nibble at them (akin to tax law suits lodged against bootleggers)?
'We are an OSS project. Marketing is not our job.' Perhaps more/.ers could keep this in mind...
The question the guy asked was "What plans have been made to succeed in the areas Be failed in, the marketing, the lack of drivers, and apps? Without these we could be in for a repeat...."
Marketing is not the job of OSS, useable software is. I'm not entirely sure whether Phipps wasn't reading all the way through, or answering little bits, or...
Be didn't die because it was great software, Be died because it couldn't do the job. Or, another way of putting it, you couldn't do the job with Be.
UL is just the 2nd tier distros trying to get attention and ink away from the "evil forces" in North Carolina. I'll just stick to the best distribution and watch the fun from afar;)

Inter-Linux FUD takes over any rational discussion of things.
Jesus, this has everyone running scared, doesn't it? Why is it that a community that has managed to engineer so many computing marvels by way of Linux now running like beaten dogs when Microsoft rattles its cages about some far-reaching plan that will likely not see the light of day before 64-bit becomes standard?
One million code monkeys can't be wrong, and if that day comes, there'll be more than enough folks willing to send themselves into battle to write what needs to be written to get the job done.
Besides, they still haven't been able to create the "One True Windows" yet, and that's been what...eight years now?

You think the guy would have the common sense to use a spellchecker in this day and age, but no...
_Awful_ grammar.
Yeah, wait now -- who's hiring again?

1) Its in Dutch.
2) Babelfish doesn't do Dutch.
3) RMS is a tool.

How deep is the hole in hell that the spam folks should go into?
"Please, don't take my one-button mouse and my plastic-looking interface away. Technology frightens me."
Dude...keying in the boot loader is krusty, though I was much dissapointed to read that he won't be gen'ing up the tape machine as well...pussy.
...why Fry's was unloading these for about $80...

I've used to have Comcast and they sold out to AT&T Broadband locally. Guess I gotta set my checks up again.
Isn't this the same generation that was expected to be the first in American history to do worse than our parents?
I dunno -- the dotcom thing was pretty good while it lasted. Beats the flower generation in terms of lasting power.
Necessity breeds solutions. We'll dig out of this. Stop panicking.
Like, uh...PBS maybe? You use it, you support it. Thats it. And yes, this is the core of the FS movement.
Why is it that IT style is so godawful: polo shirts, Saturn sedans.
Is there any hope, or should we all be sent to camps?
Wait a minute -- HOW long is it supposed to take me to sift through the physical map to find out what I might possibly be affecting?
I mean, really. Maps like this (network connectivity, topo, etc.) are nice for eye candy, but past that...

If there was an Iron Chef competition, and you had your choice of Chefs being Emeril, the Naked Chef and Bobby Flay, who would you face and why?
I'd like to say that this is a case of bad editorial research, but unforunately that's something of an institutional joke around here...

Perhaps more importantly, you already can use your Passport account on Ebay.
First they came for the swapping services
And I did not speak out because I was not a file swapping service.
Then they came for the P2P authors
And I did not speak out because I was not a P2P author.
And then they came for the massive traders.
And I did not speak out becuase I was not a massive trader.
Then they came for me --
Happy Independence Day
