If you were really happy Linux user, you would've used your window manager to bind the Winkey to some convenient shortcut or shortcuts, such as minimize all windows (there are some other useful ones too).
Kasparov saw him enter the room in his (Fischer's) cotton shorts and shirt and wide brimmed straw hat and decided to offer a game and his hand for a shake. Fischer just looked at him, looked at his hand and walked on by to take in a game with his old buddy Spassky
Maybe I'm misreading what you said, but that sounds like Fischer was the arrogant one, and Kasparov was just being polite.
The MPAA is the evil part. Companies like ILM, Sony Imageworks, and Computercafe don't have a lot of say in the MPAA's policies. Besides, why does an entity have to be entirely evil? The "motion picture industry" is made up of hundreds of companies and millions of people. Not all of them support DRM and the war against CSS.
it'd be cool if someone added support for the windows keys into the kernel
It's already there (although in X, not the kernel). I map my Windows key to various keyboard shortcuts, usually the same ones as in Windows - the Win-M combination, for example.
You can, but if you want to use two of them, you need to alter them.
What I've heard is that the MP chips are the "cream of the crop" of the XPs - AMD manufactures a batch, and then picks out the best to be MPs. So you do get something for what you pay for.
Jesus, how could you look at porn on an 85? The screen is probably the worst screen TI ever made - low res, 1 bit blue on green. Now, an 86 or 89 - that's a whole 'nother story:-).
You have a point, but my sid install (full GNOME 2.2, kdelibs, mozilla AND mozilla-snapshot, and openoffice) averages maybe 20mb of updates per day. Debian uses bandwidth, but not gig/day type bandwidth.
They write their own rendering software, and ported it to Linux for this switch. I'm sure they could have done a PPC port instead, if that's what was needed.
I have a Radeon 9700 and an Athlon 2200+. With AA, AF, pixel shading, etc. turned up I barely get 25 FPS in the complicated outdoor sections of Morrowind - and that's at 1024x768. Sure, I can get 31337 Quake framerates, but the world doesn't play Quake these days - they play newer games, with newer requirements.
Xserves don't have anywhere near the computational horsepower of the Intel hardware.
Rendering is actually a decent strength of the G4's.
you are not paying for cutting-edge hardware when you buy an Apple. You are paying for easy to use software
In that case, I'm sure Steve Jobs, seeing as he's the CEO of both Apple and Pixar, might be willing to give them some heavily discounted Xserves without whatever software it is that makes Macs so Xpensive.
I'm not saying that Pixar shoulda gone with Macs; I'm sure they considered it and found good reasons not to. I'm just saying that Macs would actually have been a decent choice.

Check your year.
I know, but the discussion was about using gcc under cygwin. To use gcc under cygwin, you must use cygwin. mingw is very cool, however.
Winkey-M minimizes all windows - the perfect solution for a time such as this. (Actually, the perfect solution is Mozilla, but let's not go there).

And then watch as Turbotax won't run.
So why don't you use Gnome2 with Sawfish?

Yes. You might have to distribute it with the cygwin DLL, but the user wouldn't need a full cygwin installation.
The RIAA has nothing to do with movies or DVDs. That would be the MPAA. Get your evil organizations straight.
So now, if someone says their ISP is "Netscape", you're not sure if they're clueless or really telling the truth.
You think a 1.6Ghz machine isn't snappy? Kids these days...
Because it's true.
That sorta defeats the point of "Ask /." - he's not asking us, he asked Google.
Already been done.
Didn't you mean to reply to this?
I agree that it should be simpler to set up, but does Joe Sixpack really need to be designing databases?

If you read the fucking parent comment, you'll see that Google's CTO never even mentioned FreeBSD, that was the speculation of the poster.
