"
who's going to notice the difference between 250 frames/sec and 300? 25fps is good enough for TV."
25 fps might be enough for TV, but it's sure as hell not enough for game. Try running the same game limiting it to 25 fps, 50 fps and 75 fps and try telling me with a straight face that you are not seeing any difference.
Then for the love of god buy a phone that is just a phone and shut up:
Nokia 3100: http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,32954,00.html Nokia 3510i: http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,2187,00.html Nokia 1100: http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,42112,00.html
I'll take my digital camera, music player and web browser containing phone, thank you.

It's a funny thing, networks. You see, since humans control them, they make changes and adjustments in response to the needs of the network. Thus the network grows, adapts, and becomes a more powerful entity."
It hasn't crossed your mind that the amount of QA required for testing such a change (removal of a major OS component) on a whole shitload of configurations that Windows is normally expected to run on is mind-numbling?
Doom 3 also does not use Direct X. It uses OpenGL. All id games use OpenGL. That's what makes them special.;0
Except that on Windows, it does. Not for rendering though, but for processing input. They did the same thing with Quake 3. Why would they include the latest version of DirectX on the Doom 3 CD if that wasn't the case?
It has pretty much always been possible to track any given persons GSM mobile phone. You wouldnt believe the amount of crimes this has helped solve and prevent as well as the amount of people who get lost and get found only thanks to their phone signal. Everyone I know owns a mobile phone. Everyone I know KNOWS that you can be tracked through your cellphone. I am yet to hear ANYBODY complain.
You should stop lying and spreading FUD. Every document created with Word 2003 or Word XP *WILL* open in Office 97. Yes, you may lose some formatting, but the file WILL BE READ just fine.
If you refuse to buy MS Word, then don't whine that Wordpad (which is NOT ment for working with big documents) refuses to open your files. Or you can use OpenOffice.
There are rumors flying around the net that are basically saying that the kurds found and captured Saddam and then gave him up to the U.S. authorities and that the U.S. have taken all the credit for founding capturing Saddam (read CNN and others). These are of course, just rumors, but who really knows ? It would no doubt be shameful for the U.S. forces to admit that it wasn't actually them who did it.

Maybe then we should sue RedHat as well? Because, you know... they charge for binary patches to RHLE...

Sorry, couldn't resist
Uhm, Princess Mononoke was a failure WHERE EXACTLY?

any mirrors, please?

I won't. Since when was Firefox written in Java?

Er no. Re-read the sentence you've quoted a few times.

Havent seen much IBM Power4 and Power5 boxes, have you?

It was a harddrive failure with data corruption beyond any repair. Lost near 18 GB of data. Now I have the learned the meaning of the word BACKUP.
Thats funny seeing as SUSE and Slackware DO ship SUNs JDK.

Wordpad is not ment for documents that big. Use MS Word or OpenOffice.

And open source can't be proprietary, right?
While this is nice for hobbyists, the people who *NEED* Solaris surely could afford 20$ for a copy for a long time now.
This is not just an IE bug. The same bug also applies to Mozilla (including the latest 1.6 BETA) and Opera.
