"'They have at least one idea, though. "Avoid the use of Microsoft Windows operating systems,""
Awww. I was so looking forward to the Yankee "Blue Soldier of Death" putting fear in the hearts of the enemy from the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli.
"Take into account the fact that kids are playing, no matter that they shouldn't be."
So, should Quentin Tarantino take into account that kids are watching "Kill Bill", and Playboy similarly tailor itself to be kid-friendly? I don't think so.
You have good points. MS deserves to lose on controlling the Windows word, but I wish it was not from "Lindows", which basically has tried to immitate/copy MS Windows and cash in with a sound-alike name.
"It is by far the most lush, detailed and beautiful world in 3D that had ever been made at the time,....I was floored at their landscape design, fitting everything into such a small area of land and making it feel like a continent packed with detail down the centimeter. No polygon in that game world was unused, it was amazing."
I felt that way about Disneyworld, except that the broad tawny expanse of the Pluto guy-in-a-suit's back just cried out to have some sort of "Lion King 1 1/2" adbill plastered on it. There's still a few unused polygons there.
I agree. The Lindows guys surely chose this name to ride on MS' coattails (or borg tendrils if you prefer). The "Elmer Fudd" principle should not be forgotten: if the disputed name is pronounced the same way as the plaintiff's name if you are Elmer Fudd, you really blew it.
Why is this even an issue anymore? Isn't Lindows further killing itself in other non-lawsuit-involved ways by now using the atrocious name "Linspire"? How can Microsoft still claim damages?
"Does this have anything even remotely to do with News for Nerds"
When you look at the famous philosophers and mathematicians, you can see that there is a good case to be made that the Greeks invented nerds.. You have a point, though. This is hardly news (being thousands of years old).... except to you.
"Feta is a classic and famous Greek curd cheese whose tradition dates back thousands of years and is still made by shepherds in the Greek mountains with unpasteurized milk. It was originally made with goat's or sheep's milk, but today much is often made commercially with pasteurized cow's milk"
From "homecooking.about.com"
"Feta cheese is classified as a soft cheese made of 45 to 60 percent fat whole sheep's or goat's milk"
You are onto something. Someone can be assured of bestsellerdom with "How the Italians Saved Civilization". I think that the Italian-American community is larger than the Greek community, so you will surely have sales. Next, books about Africans and Germans. Both groups with large numbers of people claiming descent.
The larger the group, the better. "How the Arabs Saved Civilization" would be an easy one to write due to the advances of the middle-ages Islamic empire, but the sales would be low due to the small size of the Arab-American group compared to the groups named above.
I thought the invisible tinfoil hat was working great. That is, until I woke up one morning and found an invisible communist under the bed. Not only that, a pair of invisible FBI agents was found hiding in the closet. I only was able to discern them after I drank my liquid Jim Beam breakfast.
The "reduce Mozilla's code and runtime footprints" features sound good for the regular desktop Mozilla experience as well. Why not demand tight, efficient outside of the handheld environment?
If your name is "Ben Louden", I'd be cautious about ordering a pizza! If you do, ask for LOTS of ham and other pork items on the pizza. That might help.
Has anyone else here read the old "Brains Benton" series of juvenile mysteries? Sort of like "Hardy Boys" and "The 3 Investigators", but vastly superior to the former. Brains Benton himself is a prototype stereotypical nerd genius (in a pre-computer era), except that he is good at baseball.
This would include the eye-enabled version of Pacman. Blinky makes you blink, Inky squirts ink in your eye, and the worst of them, Pinky, gives you a bad case of pink-eye.

The current Chinese population is around 1.3 billion. It does not include everyone on Earth.

It's really "Sailing the WINE Dork C. That's why the geeks mattered.
"How the Arabs Conquered Africa"? Not very well. They only managed to take the northernmost tier of countries, and a few spots on the east coast.

In Alabama, what's the difference?

The answer: get a rocket pack!
Great one! There's likely 50 or so good Yogi quotes too.
