A million replies to you, and no one caught "Part of that money to made sure that kids have a school to go to." A typo for sure.
Now, I may be the only one commenting here who thinks this sounds exactly like it was written by a staffer trying to get "the blog feeling." Somebody probably spent weeks researching blogs to copy the style, then wrote this for The Speaker.
My gf just renewed her passport in Thailand and got one of theire brand new "ePassports," which includes RFID. Although there are a million privacy adn security issues, her main interest was that it is so much prettier than her last one...
You know, I was thinking that, but I got confused and thought that maybe I was remembering the name of an early Linux distro. It's been so long that I really can't remember now.:(
Yeah, I know that one. The problem is that they were both irrepairably damaged when they took those deep-sea drillers to that comet in order to save the world, and no more have been made yet.
Yeah, I started with the DnD Basic set (The blue box -- first on the clock and taught my self), and remember that almost everyone despised TSR. Although calling any of the players I knew "cool" would a bit of a stretch, there was this kind of clique and nobody wanted to play TSR: Any other company's RPG was fine, though. In High school, we used to play a game in a tiny book with a yellow cover -- I think the name was Ragnarok. Can anyone confirm that?
I bought RPGs just to read the rules. I found it enjoyable to look at the different ways that people would model their world mathematically for play. I ended up having about 40 or so systems which I donated to the Role Playing Club my freshman year in university (though I never played with them).
Odly, I started picking up RPGs for use in my advanced EFL classes, where we weredoing freeform speaking practice. The kids love Ragnarok and Maple Story, so can identify well. They are given motivation to speak about things that push their ability (as long as we stay out of hack-n-slash).
You're joking, right? I need to break out my Tandy Model I [oss-in-efl.info] for this... The 4KB of RAM will astound you all! And I think that your machine wasn't 1981, since mine was 1979? That Z80 chip rocked. (37 myself)
I'm not bashing your logic, but Colorado, North Dakota, and Minnesota don't stand in the face of Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and southern Illinois in terms of gawdawful tornados. Since they were the GP's topic, I don't think that you are in the right discussion. Watch anvil-shaped cumulonimbus clouds tens of thousands of feet high storming at you while the air "greens out" several times a year and you'll know how to control that pounding heart you've got. There's a reason that the U.S. threw the native americans into Oklahoma and took it back last, you know, and there's a reason that the area is called "tornado alley."
Another place where you don't know what you're talking about. There are so many alternative desktop concepts in OSS it's almost impossible to try them all. The most recent is SymphonyOS (http://www.symphonyos.com/), who's first law of UI is that Fitt was right, but nobody listened. No nested or drill-down menus, no scrolling if possible, no icons, and no pop-up dialogs. Sound a lot like Mac or Windows, doesn't it?
There are already 3d desktops for Linux, so "MS will have a rendered graphics engine before linux" is silly. As for DB file systems, I found three for Linux in under five minutes.
Birge, you should've chosen KDE as your Windows example, and not Gnome. By default, Gnome looks more like MacOS (pre-X) than Windows. There are three menus, none of which have the same set up as the Start menu. I don't know how the distro you may or may not have tried modifies the standard set up, but GOD you're wrong on this one.
KDE, however, has all the Windows stuff in by default.
I had mod points, but there wasn't an option for "oninformed/just plain wrong"
Yeah, man, for like a year now. God I miss you. What the hell happened -- Thousands of horny geeks' underwear have just begun to dry out, and they need some relief. You took down your page, I stopped writing sex in Thailand stories... What's the world coming to?
So how's that look-like-Windows thing working for the Linux community? Is the wave of desktop adoption far ahead of where it was in 2001 and 2002 when this started? And, if not, why don't we stop doing it? Is it because we're stuck on stupid?
Maybe some of the commercial ones are looking to limit the retrain time, but I don't think that Gnome looks a bit like windows (or acts like it), and I guess he certainly hasn't seen http://www.symphonyos.com/. And, yes, I read that article.

And everybody who responds to the mac troll gets modded as troll... Whew! When did the site shift to a Mac / Win fanbase?
Here's a screenshot of the coral cache, since it was all I could get (took almost 5 minutes). http://oss-in-efl.info/~danielbo/lg3d.png Good luck.
Mirror of the mirror (One page only and only thumbnails -- you've got to go with what you can get). http://oss-in-efl.info/~danielbo/lg3d.html -- be kind!

Yeah, I misremembered -- the game was Ygg* (can't remember the end).
Oh, the reports on the results of my "RPGs in the classroom" can be found here: http://oss-in-efl.info/~danielbo/, in the EFL section.

Sorry to be pedantic, but XP would be ten LESS than your petathingy in Roman numerals...
Yeah. My Dad bought it from Radio Shack. Over $1000. I didn't even know the brand name for years later, just "Model I."
I screwed up the link there (Which is the main reason that I posted it, anyway, haha) -- My Tandy Model I. Preview, preview.

Almost certainly. My above post was sarcastic, but it doesn't read that way, I guess.

Wow. In my browser, you have a large ad placed in your comment, for CoreConnect. Is this a new feature of Slashdot or are you a most excellent troll?
I'm desperately looking for the easiest way to enable it. I have Abiword 2.4.1 with all the plugins, but am mystified by how to turn the feature on...
The VCR, found dead in its box at age 30. Truly an American icon... (Had to be said!)

Autopr0n is, like, down and stuff.
