    Plus, my UID is a good bit lower, so my opinion is inherently more valuable. Checkmate.

    I sense an upcoming UID war. I love those.

    Thinking that diverse opinions are limited to slashdot is a mistake. You might as well go read Conservapedia if you want to make a social study of various, erm... perspectives. I'd rather have this site be about news for nerds and stuff that matters.

    Man, I only have enough free time to read and comment on the things that interest me. Can I borrow some of your free time to have the luxury of not reading but commenting on boring, uninteresting things?

    You must be new here. Free time?!? For most of us, this is a freaking job!

    Agreed. Either kill it or post the email addresses of the people who write the "disagree mail". That would at least make things interesting.

    I hope "get a beard" is only in the loosest sense(s) of the phrase, as I'm trying to get my girlfriend to run linux. I don't mind some scratchiness, but please not from her face.

    Interesting how Merriam-Webster generally agrees with you, and the OED doesn't.

    Luckily, I took no linguistics courses at university.

    I'd say an in-class experience, including talking with an instructor, graded homework, and the recognition (towards a degree) is quite a bit of value that ISN'T included in the online version.

    Their two different beasts.

    Totally agreed. I see that someone learned his homonyms via an online course.

    Here's a link to their download location: http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?hl=en . I tried getting there using Firefox---excuse me: Iceweasel---on a debian installation, and it wouldn't direct the browser to a place to download. Konqueror kept crashing on their "save as" button. So I copied the link location from Konqueror to Iceweasel, and was able to get it that way. Now I'll try it in the latest Wine...
