But perhaps you're trolling for fun like I usually do?
Ha! The game is up!
You know, I've had my suspicions that "Anonymous Coward" was just trolling for fun. Well, now that we all know your dirty little secret, try getting another one past the vigilant moderators!
Ironic, everybody hates Starbuck's for being everywhere, but they may be our saviors when it comes to getting wireless broadband up.
Everybody? Really? I thought only half-witted anti-WTO white-dreaded trustafarians felt that way. I quite enjoy the fact that when I want that particular atmosphere for sitting and reading while drinking a consistently good cup of coffee, I can find a Starbucks nearby. I still enjoy the Mom and Pops when I'm on my home turf, but I spend as many waking hours per week >40 miles from home as I do <40 miles from home.
Uh, how does that Saganism go? "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof." I hardly think that I am the one that needs to back up my position on this one. The claim that "concerned mothers pose a bigger threat than terrorists," is ridiculous, i.e., able to be ridiculed. The ad hominem was part of that ridicule.
Absolutely. However, the book is written to be utopian, and reading it is worthwhile if only as a joke. The centrally planned society is perhaps the most obvious of the myriad anachronisms. All of this was pre-Marx, and at the time the book was written, "Bellamy clubs" were formed by people who believed it would work. Maybe that's the distopian angle....
Looking Backward by Edward Bellamy was very cool, if implausible. A ninteenth-century author's vision of a twentieth century utopia is bound to be chock full of accidental anachronisms.
Get ahold of yourself. modifications to dual-licensed software are still Free in all important senses of the word. Why should you care if someone forks it? Does that take anything away from the free branch?
it's not really in the GPL spirit, which is that the original author of a piece of code doesn't have special rights that others don't have.
So the fact that the FSF isn't happy with you simply GPLing your software, but wants you assign them the copyright is for what reason exactly? The copyright holder, usually the original author, does have special rights.
I got an Acros (Acer's line of "business" PCs) 486sx-25 in 1993, that came with a keyboard I still use today. I wish I had a 104-key layout, but I like the size, sound, and feel so much that I'll probably just do without. The keyboard was apparently made by Smith-Cornoa and OEM-ed to Acer/Acros, but when I wrote to Smith Corona asking if they still made such keyboards they replied that I would have to "contact Acer about that old system." Thanks for the help....

Yup, I remember it. It wasn't *that* great, tho. So you could draw your own sprites. it's a shoot 'em up construction kit. The games you construct were all basically the same.
Different concept. In M.O.M., you still control the monster with the joystick.
But there was Robot Odyssey on the Apple ][. Now that rocked worlds. You got to program your robot by designing your own TTL logic circuits, and even package routines into reusable chips. I would Love to see a game like that again.
Alas, the attention span of the child seems to follow Moore's law.
And the FBI following, watching, and logging the activites of some of the communists they managed to "brand" was not a crime either. Nobody said that this guy was detained or anything.

OMG somebody learned extended character sets!

What happened to VoxVictus? Have you swapped sides and now see the humor in posting absurdist left-wing comments?

It's because they put punctuation in their name, and no respectable person can abide such pretentiousness.
You are a tool and a half. Only an intellectual could believe something so foolish.

"Hello, world!" is clean and bloat free but it won't let me read the Excel spreadsheets that get mailed around my office.
I'm just about to enter the "ignore phase," myself. Oh, you meant Microsoft, not Slashdot. Never mind.
Such people shouldn't sell their creative work, then.

I'll take your Donut advice with the appropriate grain of salt considering you cite the UN wihtout irony.
Ummm... I bet he turns it off.

You know what? I won't ram a cop either, because it's wrong. Are we still allowed to say that in this country?
How did KDE go from a cheap Windows ripoff to a cheap OS X ripoff in a matter of five years?
Search Google Images for "periodontal disease." Chickenheads are obvious jokes, though.... These things, however, are almost libelous.

How's that GM stock of yours doing, Andy?
