Does that report count retrocomputers that run MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 and Windows 95? I know a lot of people who still do use older PC technology. Modern Linux won't run on them unless it is command line based. The old 8M and constantly swapping Windows 95 machines with a 486DX 66Mhz processor or 386SX processor at 16 Mhz.
I strongly suspect that the marketshare of 386 machines is somewhat lower than that of Linux.
I'm not familiar with TCL, and I disagree with you on Java, but saying C is more readable than Perl or C++ is like saying a turtle is faster than a snail.
How does putting Safari 3.2 on Software Update, where by default it will be received by every internet-connected Mac OS X user in the world, count as a release that was "quietly slipped out"?
Well, if they announced it weeks in advance, over a bullhorn, with a marching band, it would have been released loudly.
Most of the bullies I faced in school were bigger than I was, but that didn't mean I couldn't hurt them. Bullies go for the easy targets. If you prove you're not an easy target, he won't mess with you, even if he COULD beat you.
"Do you know how much power I'd have to give up to be President?". Okay, God didn't say that, but if it's true for Lex Luthor, it's safe to say that God would have the same problem.

Besides, you're talking about people in airports. Of course they'll have elevated heart rates, breathing, and blood pressure.

I'm sure the Europeans think Stalin was a right-winger.
I'm guessing that the OP means he's never met an EXCLUSIVE Linux user. Most Linux users I know either dual boot or have a seperate Windows box.
Agreed! Personally, I value droid "life" more than I would Jar-Jar's.
Unless you rise from the grave to do it in between snacking on brains.
Of course, the people who speak 7 languages, but not English, Esperanto, or the other languages the poster used are out of luck. :)
Now, where the hell did I put that damned string?
We were talking about senility. Bringing up Microsoft isn't really that much of a stretch.
Are you sure? Maybe the last server failure was caused by the people there kicking their box down some stairs into a magnet.
What about the right to arm bears?
LSD?

They ride moose up there. They're bigger.

The guy that bullied me in person was sorry afterwards. I made sure of that.
Maybe because the ones that didn't mature wound up in prison. Do prisoners HAVE access to FaceBook?
Of course, you can do the same thing with a phone call/email/text message.

Yeah, but imagine the panic if someone put articles about the 1918 flu with a 2008 date!
Well, in my day, I walked to school by myself. Both ways! In knee-deep snow!!
You took the words out of my mouth. After over four decades of RL, I feel MUCH more like killing something than I did in my teens.
Maria is female, Mario is male. Can't get easier than that.
I have 2 cow-orkers, both named Terry. Terry M is an old guy, Terry B is a semi-hawt female. IBM's half-wrong on this.
