Rounder you said? Pfeh. Alison Krauss regularly gets airplay on CMT. (Although admittedly she was an unknown when I first heard of her more than a decade ago...and I liked her then.)
And if you don't know who Alison Krauss and Union Station are...well, one of the guys in Union Station, Dan Tyminski, was the singing voice of George Clooney in "O Brother Where Art Thou".
Yes, I agree... Normally, I do just that... I think black text on a white background is easier to read on paper, but on a computer, it's painful. White, green or even amber on black are all easier on the eyes. (Why do you think that's how terminals work naturally?)
VB is certainly easier to develop simple apps in, of the kind PHBs want (I say this as a longtime VB user *ducks). Linux does need a free Visual Basic. (Besides, the Win32 API is better documented by far than Xlib!)
If you prefer your sources un-tampered with as I do...mainstream distros aren't the way to go.
Sourcemage GNU/Linux might be more up your alley - from my experience, you "cast -c" a program, it downloads it from the program's main site and compiles it.
That's real nice, and why I'm moving from Head Rat to Sourcemage.
Autistic, heh, that's probably it too... (I say this as an autistic person myself, who was in an institution for autistic children for a few years, I know autism when I see it.)
But then, autism or its close cousin Asperger's disorder are probably common among a lot of Slashbots.
1. You can not play games on it. If the BSD has Linux binary compatibility, you can indeed. 3. It lacks a GUI of any note. Is there no XFree86 for BSD? 4. There is no support available for it. Again, depends on your BSD. 6. It cannot be run on the x86 platform. Sefsckinwat?! I have been using PicoBSD for years - ON A 386DX!!! 9. It is incompatiable with GNU/Linux. Not necessarily. FreeBSD at least has a Linux binary compatibility module. 10.It is dying. Wishful thinking! The mere existence of Dragonfly BSD and MacOS X show that BSD is alive and well.
From the beginning, let them know the difference between reality and fantasy, that's the problem with these kids, they don't know that death is forever, that killing people is not the answer etc., etc., etc., - and they need to know that not everything they can do in the video-game world is acceptable in real life.
I will say that I have always - well, since 13 when I experienced Wolf3D for the first time - played violent video games as a tension release. It works very well: take out my aggression on a video game character, rather than on a human. I think, that's something that could be well utilized.

I bet it's prolly something like this for SourceMage:
# cast -c gnome

And inverse characters were always harder to read than normal text.

No, that's not why the NIV sucks, it sucks because they don't follow the translator's principles, and inject their own meaning into the text.
That said, I prefer the Tomson version, which does indeed have "thees and thous".

OK, IHBT. Still...I'm taken hook line and sinker
