I hate to say it, but I think Visa's got a case. My first thoughts when I see evisa.com are "electronic Visa". There is legitimate potential for confusion here (unlike the Lindows case). Now, you can argue that Visa shouldn't be allowed to trademark dictionary words, and you're probably right, but legally Visa's on solid ground.
96% of people use IE. Something like 0.5% of people use Opera. Those numbers may be different among Slashdotters, but an IE exploit is still far more significant than an Opera one.
There were 60k bugs in MS's database. Those include dupilicates, wishlist items, and closed bugs. Look at Mozilla's stats. It's getting up to 200k. Sheer number of entries in a database means nothing.
That only works if you have a link to the movie and you want to open it in a separate window. If the movie is 'ed in the page, you need a plugin to play it inline (unless you want to go digging in the source code for the URL, wget the movie, and then try to play it).
Sorenson 1 and 3 have nothing to do with sound - the sound codec is separate from the video codec. Most Quicktime movies use the QDesign Music 2 codec, which to my knowledge is not playable on Linux, with mplayer or any other tool.
I was turning in written papers in third grade, but they were more of the two-paragraph, handwritten during class on wide-ruled paper type. For homework, most stuff could be written and printed in Wordperfect (my WP at that time) in less time then it would take for an eight-year-old to create a minimal TeX document. Certainly there was nothing long or involved enough that would even begin to make TeX a logical choice.
Last time I checked, eight-year-olds don't need to do a lot of typewritten papers. I dunno how you end up with eight-year-olds (2nd-3rd grade) in middle school (6th-8th grade), but apparently the submitter's school system does.
1.0 is official in stable because it was the newest version at the time of the release. I would not be at all surprised if the Mozilla maintainer backported various security fixes to the 1.0 Mozilla in stable.
As for testing, it is maintained by a set of scripts that automatically move new packages from unstable to testing after they've gone for a set amount of time (two weeks, IIRC) without any serious bugs. It's safe to assume that Mozilla 1.1 doesn't currently meet that requirement.

Sure he can. One funny mod and one insightful mod.

Since it was nvidia that bought 3dfx, maybe you should go complain to them. Not that it will do you much good.
Don't bother with binary drivers for the 7500. Get the open-source ones from dri.sourceforge.net.
Two processors ordered? I'll bet Intel is shaking in its boots.
Good troll subject, but don't make it quite as obvious next time.
News flash: not all ads come from doubleclick. Not even a majority do.
None of the current Linux filesystems needs defragging, and I believe ext2 is the only one even an experimental defragging tool is available for.
Look at the -1 comments.
Underrated and Overrated moderations never show, they just increase the score.
If you read the fucking page, it says "Hit Enter when prompted for a password."

Which was the fifth?
You can with an iBook...
I believe the DMCA only applies to circumventing encryption used for copy protection.
mplayer will for Linux will play just about everything under the sun, including, as of today, Sorenson 3 Quicktime.

No, Evolution will not be ported to Windows. If you want a Windows mail client, try Eudora, Mozilla Mail, or telnet mail.yourisp.com 25.
They're in the repository, which means they are most definately official packages.

An infinite amount more on portable chips designed specifically for those formats. For more general chips, I don't think CPU is a problem.
