>One thing I've learned is that, while blind and hungry, it's not a good idea to wander around the dungeon feeling for food on a level where you've killed a cockatrice.
You also don't want to go after a cockatrice if you're polymorphed into a dragon. Or a vampire, I think.
My high school physics teacher actually thought rockets worked that way. She couldn't figure out how they can work in space where there's nothing to push off of.
Did he finally get back to Japan, or Kansas, or whatever?
Oh, who am I kidding, I don't really care.

Actually, I think Douglas Kenney did a footnote-to-footnote (and a footnote to that footnote's footnote) in National Lampoon in the mid-70s, probably before Pratchett.
Now THAT is a good idea. Even for a first-run syndicated series, it would kick ass. It has all the creepy gothiness that kids like today, it's got a lineage, there's plenty of material to work with, it's a great idea man.
RM101 is totally right, and, the point is Microsoft benefits from the "network effects" of Windows being widely used no matter if it is licensed or not. How the frig would that "same logic" apply to the cool tunes you're getting off of Kazaa?
This obsession with saving a few bucks by pirating music is getting beyond comical.
I'm afraid YOU didn't read the article very carefully, Ingo replied as follows to Linus's post:
actually, that was Ulrich's other test, which tests the serial starting of 100,000 threads.
the test i did started up 100,000 concurrent threads which shot up the load-average to a couple of thousands. [the default timeslice the parent has is enough to start more than 50,000 parallel threads a pop or so.]

If I recall correctly, Microsoft has actually sued Lindows on trademark grounds, but failed to get a preliminary injunction against Lindows because the judge thought "windows" could be a generic or descriptive term.

Isn't there a Debian arch for Hurd? How can they offer a complete distro like Debian on Hurd if Hurd is so incomplete?

Gee, we sure are learning a lot about gastropods today!

That's actually a good suggestion. Some of those names are pretty bitchen... I especially like:
Tlanuwa
Cherokee name of a great magical hawk. According to the Natchez it's feathers were made of metal.
Try debian, it doesn't have that problem.
No that was on the Simpsons. Kang and Kodos.

PayPal is not a bank. It's not run like a bank, it's not regulated like a bank, and deposits are not insured like a bank.

I switched to Debian when I couldn't get the beta Mandrake 8.2 to install. Never looked back.
I've always wondered if this is a real quote or one of those fake quotes that are constantly being passed around, like the "Julius Caesar" one.
I just want to say how much I hate the word "blog." What's wrong with "weblog?"
