I suspect this article was posted just to see how many funny comments can get modded up to 5. The fact that Bill donated to a school isn't significant, nor is the dollar amount.
I don't really use tabs. I'm too used to using multiple windows from the pre-tabs days. I keep a background window open (almost always a page with Google results), and then the foreground window is where I check out the links. I usually drag a link from the background window to the foreground window and the foreground window doesn't lose focus. This way, I always have easy access to the list of links. Safari's snapback feature (almost typed slashback!) hardly ever comes into play while I'm surfing. I suppose having the search results come up in a sidebar works the same way, but I never really liked sidebars.
Speaking of dragging links, I miss the old days where dragging a link to the desktop would download the file to the desktop, rather than creating a shortcut to the link. Could someone please make that an option in Safari and Mozilla?
For those who say that LASIK is great, which type of doctor do you recommend?
Here in Dallas, there's one doctor who is advertising all over tv and radio. He's probably performed the procedure more times than 90% of the other doctors in the country; he could probably performed the procedure with one hand tied behind his back. However, I met him once when my wife was refered to him for an eye problem she was having. He has a horrible bedside manner; he obviously cares more about the volume of patients rather than the patients' needs.
On the other hand, my optho is great, and I have the utmost confidence that he will place my needs first. This guy is a genuinely good doctor, and I don't doubt that he can technically perform the procedure as well as or better than the first doctor. He simply doesn't have the volume of LASIK patients as the first guy.
So who would you choose? The first doctor is an ass, but he's done the procedure so many times that it's pretty much second nature to him; I would think that there's a small chance of anything going wrong. The second doctor is a great guy, and is probably capable of performing the procedure as well as the first doctor. But he hasn't performed the procedure nearly as many times as the other guy, so he might not be as prepared for problems as the other doctor. But if anything did go wrong, I'd rather have my doctor looking out for me than the other guy.

David Filo of Yahoo! and Jim Clark of Netscape each donated individual contributions of $30M each to Tulane's Engineering school to be used for engineering scholarships.
That seems more worthy of mention in slashdot, as it means more educational opportunities for (possibly) future slashdotters.
Three staticians go bear hunting.
The first one fires and misses, way off to the right.
The second one fires and misses, way off to the left.
The third one jumps up and down cheering, "We got him! We got him!"
I vote for the Cowboy Neal option!
Seriously, couldn't they replace "flavor" with "variant"?
Apple's trailers site has the trailer for the DVD release.

Actually, I thought it was Fred :)
