Slashdot opinions by third parties do not indicate the real-life stance of the FSF. You can use GCC to compile whatever you want, and name it whatever you like.
If you buy a laptop with Windows pre-installed, you are paying a premium for that as well. (I understand your point, but it should be noted that buying a Mac supports Apple, buying anything with Windows preinstalled supports Microsoft. Where do you want your money to go today?)
In the Game Boy version (1989), you got little audiovisual rewards for breaking certain point barriers. If you broke 50,000, you'd get to see a little rocket launch. 100,000 lines (I think this is the right number) would net you a takeoff of the Space Shuttle.
Ouch. I wasn't even aware these weren't available on DVD. I was planning on purchasing this series specifically because Episodes IV-VI aren't available.
I just removed "HP-UX" and "Tru64" from my resume, and cancelled my unshipped order on a HP laserjet. HP can have my business back 1 year after they retract their usage of the DMCA.
Haha.. I didn't even catch the Script Kitty the first time around.
The bowl looks like [Chuck,Beastie,The BSD Daemon]'s head to me. The yellow fish's scales are made of Windows logos (Note the spikey collar. Present but poor security?). The zebra fish's stripes are made of Sun logos. Also note the penguin skeleton in the middle of the fish carcasses.
It is a common mis-conception that Cygnus controls either directly or indirectly GCC.
While Cygnus does donate hardware, network connections, code and developer time to GCC development, Cygnus does not control GCC.
Overall control of GCC is in the hands of the GCC Steering Committee which includes people from a variety of different organizations and backgrounds. The purpose of the steering committee is to make decisions in the best interest of GCC and to help ensure that no individual or company has control over the project.
To summarize, Cygnus contributes to GCCproject, but does not exert a controlling influence over GCC.
Whichever word we choose to positively associate with "intelligent computer-smart individual that pushes the limits and makes things work" or something similar, the crackers/script kiddies will likely adopt it for themselves, as they've already done with "hacker". They use the word louder and more obnoxiously than a humble, pre-occupied hacker, so naturally your average Joe associates the word with them.
Training like this used to be part of the school system in at least some places in the U.S., as early as elementary school. Many people would be extremely bothered if their kid was learning the same things today (how to protect yourself responsibly). This is likely part of the problem.
I don't see the link between self defense and killing another person... that has been culturally been bred into Americans. If no one had guns, non-lethal means of protection would work fine...
If no one had guns, that would be wonderful. Unfortunately guns exist, people own them, and will continue to own them if they are banned. There aren't many alternatives to keeping someone with a gun in check that don't involve having a gun yourself, or something more powerful.

Nooo!!! You're stepping on them!!!

Great, when can I get Episodes IV-VI on DVD? I'm considering not purchasing them when they come out, in protest of the unnecessary wait.

I remember YACK Live, but the aired comments were taken from an AOL chat room. Not sure about r00t, though...

What's with all the GCC paranoia? GCC is not controlled by Cygnus or Redhat.
From the GCC FAQ:
What is the relationship between GCC and Cygnus
It is a common mis-conception that Cygnus controls either directly or indirectly GCC.
While Cygnus does donate hardware, network connections, code and developer time to GCC development, Cygnus does not control GCC.
Overall control of GCC is in the hands of the GCC Steering Committee which includes people from a variety of different organizations and backgrounds.

Don't forget the complimentary bucket and flute music at the Metro exits.
Didn't /dev/random originally spawn from Linux?
There is a FAQ on OpenBSD installation linked to from the main page of openbsd.org. There's also an install walkthrough which steps you through a typical OpenBSD 2.5 install.
Actually, they were called mitochlorians (guessed spelling; I didn't read the book).
Whichever word we choose to positively associate with "intelligent computer-smart individual that pushes the limits and makes things work" or something similar, the crackers/script kiddies will likely adopt it for themselves, as they've already done with "hacker".

I agree. Definitely knocked up the intensity level a notch.
