You see, the granparent may have had a good point, that we should detail our opinions, but he said that it makes everyone look like morons because their first sentence is usually "I didn't like it because it sucked!" and only later explained why.
That's all because the great-granparent-instigator-of-this-whole-thing used a broad brush to paint eveyone's dislike of the movie: "You all hate it because of the peace...," to which the natural reply is "No, I hated it because it was a bad movie... Here's why." which is exactly how this whole thread has moved. So, I call a bullshit flag on both the original poster of all this, as well as your granparent post.
BTW, the movie did suck, but I knew it would, because I walked out on The Matrix during the "what is reality" monologue.
Yeah, and at least fifteen slashdotters told me that my problems with the second movie would "all be answered by the third." Guess they were wrong, huh? The series reminds me a lot of Star Wars (The real one, not the second series), which was good when I was ten, but kind of sits on my shelf as a DVD now that I am older. The second and third weren't even any good when I was a teen. Enough ranting...
Sounds more like a problem with MATLAB than Linux, but I though you were the genius...

This is the reason that many K12 institutions in the northwest are turning to K12LTSP. (Re)use the old hardware, spend some of the new budget on a few servers, hook up the network, and you're finished.
As for the children's response in my school -- there is virtually none. Our children pick up the mouse, ask us where to go, and no other training is often necessary. They know precious little about computers, anyway. Eventually, we hear them bragging to their friends about being able to choose which desktop they want to use.
Attribution, please. I have been putting two spaces after periods (full stops) for so many years that I can't count them. I see no difference between typing on a typewriter or a keyboard on this issue.
Actually, I originally thought that that person who began the thread was joking about OpenBSD and Gentoo, tongue in cheek, but a later reply by him seemed to show that he was serious. I used Gentoo for about 6 months, but an update as often as not would break something somewhaere. I cannot live with that in a desktop that I use every day, and would fear to put it into real production work where I had to depend on it.
Yeah, but the AMD factory next door to me in Thailand (the wall is within 50m of my window) just changed hands / names / was sold / who knows. Just noticed a sign announcing the change about two weeks ago. Maybe that'll stop some of the black soot covering everything in my house. Oh, wait, this is BKK, so someone else will step up and help out the pollution level.
Man, my girlfriend eats "prik kee nu," the hottest Thai chilis available as a condiment with her dinner. Even other Thais look at her with awe. Hot sauce my ass!
There are now five "new computer users and LinuxTLE on the ICT computer" themed books on the shelves of the local bookstore here in Thailand. There are at least four other LinuxTLE books right along side them, but not mentioning the government's low cost computer initiative (which you might surmise comes preloaded with... LinuxTLE).
This is in response to the hundreds of thousands of these computers already sold.
Point on Headline English: Mars Attack (noun) Mars Attacks (verb, past or present tenses, active voice) Mars Attacked (verb, past or present tenses, passive) Mars to Attack (verb, future, active) Mars to be Attacked (verb, future, passive) FYI
However, in headline English, the past tense is almost never used. A form like that in the headline is reserved for the passive voice, and the active voice would be written like "Mars Attack Anniversary, 65 years ago" or even "Mars Attacks 65 Years Ago." The use is therefore incorrect, and his misunderstanding is not due to any ambiguity in English, but rather editor error. Passive voice and past tense are easily distinguished in normal (not headline) English by the use of the be verb.
When I was young, I was lucky enough to have the original radio broadcast on reel to reel, along with the virtually complete Lone Ranger and Superman series. I used to put on headphones, close my eyes, and be transported to a different place. You had to use your imagination with those things.
From what I remember, it was the first nationwide radio broadcast, and it was no hoax. It was a radio play, and was clearly identified as such at the beginning and end. The problem was that many people tuned in after it had begun.
To set the record stright on the headline, Mars attacked us: it was not attacked, because we had no method to get there. Don't rewrite history, baby.
I just wish that those reels had survived. I played them into the ground. Oh the classic days of radio... gone the way of dime novels, I guess.
And there's apparently a major bug in version 3.1, too. I used it for the first time a on someone's recommendation. I usually use Bluefish.
I decided to add my files under a new project, followed a wizard, and clicked "Add File." After I had selected everything, I realized that some were folders and there was actually a button "Add Folders." So, wanting to be carefull, I clicked "Clear List," and a notification window appeared for a split second, saying "Deleting..." My heart dropped, and, sure enough, all the previously completed files that I wanted to add were gone.

I had backups from three weeks before, but this is certainly an undesired behavior. (Yes, I'm going to make a bug report today)
Why does this kind of thing not already exist. I am not a coder (in-house web only), but it would seem straight forward to build one. I just searched for one yeasterday, and found some questions, but no answers.

Any other approach than "kill them all"...
I agree, Metallica lost their edge right after Ride the Lightning, and I haven't like anything since.

"Gentoo server" ... ... were you being serious?
Oh, sorry
Gentoo isn't even stable enough for my desktop.

That's why we went with an all thin client model for my store. Six clients including the ..ahem.. "server" for under US$1000.
Yeah, you only make that mistake once... or twice if you're as stupis as I am.
See this and reapeat after me:
"Enterprise Desktops."

Ok, Its Gambas, and there it is. Appears to be coming along well.
There is a project named "Gambus" or "Gumbus" that seeks to be a Visual Basic-like language for Linux. My googling has yet to turn up anything.

You should read that as "Lootainaent Liiinuus" with your best Greenborough, Alabama drawl.

The source and binary will be available here when the development build comes out.

so nice to see someone use the idiom correctly. it actually makes sense that way.
