Well, you should list pounds vs kilograms, since nobody actually uses stones... (and to be more correct you should probably have pounds or stones vs newtons, since those are a measurement of force, and kilograms are a meaurement of mass...)
Anyone else picturing a nuclear mainframe hurtling along through space... or maybe just one of those cute laptop-on-a-sticks (Netvista X40)... I've heard the black cases make them go faster:)
"My new computer has a Pentium 4!"
"Oh, yeah - my new IBM is nookyooler, so there!"
Voter registration isn't all that tough... I showed up at the poll, told them I had moved into the state a year prior, showed my new Driver's license, signed a book... and voted. My new voter reg card came in the mail a few weeks later. Not too tough.
Voting isn't just a right, it is a duty (well-informed voting, that is - abstaining from voting due to ignorance is also a duty). --
I never seem to have that problem in any file manager... Just years of experience have told my hand and trackball what they can get away with, and where. Grown laziness, I think. That coupled with the separate menu editing in most WMs (whether it happens to be graphical or go munge a text file) keeps a person used to having to go to a separate place. I agree, for a new user (who hasn't had as much time to learn good/bad habits) it could be a great thing. For those of us set in our ways, well... change can be a hard thing sometimes:)
You made a good point with the typesetting example... those of us who learned on Pagemaker instead of Word/Wordperfect have a slightly different tilt on the way things should work... --
Hehe - and here I am hating that, thinking there should be a separate app for that... too many years of lax click and release where I start moving (just before the release) to where I know my mouse needs to be... Moves the freecell link every time;-) --
Actually, you'll find *tons* of PPC machines on IBM desktops (like the RS/6k 43p/150 I'm writing this from)... And speaking as a person, not an IBM rep, there is a lot of Linux to be found around the site... in certain areas. Our chip design/simulation software doesn't run natively on Linux (hence the RS boxen), and there is obviously a lot of call for NT/98/2k (Notes, Smart Suite). I'm among the many who wish there was a native Linux port of Notes - we just need to make some more noise for that one. --
what do you know, that works... and here I've been using just slashdot.org this whole time... it seems that slashdot.com works, too... scary.

Speaking of which - what's with the recent resurgence in the Hello Kitty arena? I remember seeing that stuff back in 1985/6 then it all seemed to cease existing for about 15 years - now a huge explosion. It can probably be correlated with the greater emergence of the Powerpuff Girls (think of it - just add a couple whiskers, and you could never tell them apart).

The question would be if the messages are in ASCII or Unicode :P

Huh, I use 8 desktops at work (KDE on AIX). Some apps get their own desk (like the Citrix Client and /.) Ctrl+[F1...F8] (don't believe in META ;-)

Fixed

(Preview looked good... what's going on there?)
A bigger issue is that Sun is very late to market with the US-III - the new models in the Spring couldn't even measure up to a :)
Now if only AIX was as friendly as Solaris
(and oh, yeah - #include"std_disclaim.h")
Yup, 1200 - just a typo...

Slow down cowboy!
Slashdot requires you to wait 20 seconds between hitting reply on comments.pl and submitting a comment.
It's been 15 seconds since you hit 'reply'!
I wonder when that happened...
But just as important...
Sun Blade 1000 UltraSPARC-III 900 MHz: SPECfp2000 = 482
Intel D850GB motherboard Pentium 4 1.7 GHz: SPECfp2000 = 608
Same source
Yeah, my first was 1.3MHz Z80, single floppy...... added the 120 baud modem later :P
No panda - just make him look like that annoying purple gorrila (Bonzi?):

Hmmm... well, maybe not.

They could always request an absentee ballot and mail it in... one phone call is all it takes.

Excel is a chewing gum? Never heard of it. I've seen Mangosteen gum, though... (now with 25% more Steen!)

Hehe - I'm an (rather infrequent these days) K-Lug'r myself. It's been quite some time since I've physically attended, tho.

My favorite line from the NYT review:
"Final Fantasy" is the first film with human leads played by nonactors, if you don't count "Pearl Harbor."
Couldn't help laughing at that one.

Nuclear, no... a fork bomb, maybe...

With an optical connection, you'll only fry your own line, but you won't affect others. Fiber runs point-to-point, the cable media is shared.
