Don't know about that last one... but I'm not going to visit it.
Plus, slashbots, get this: THE IP CHANGED from 198.63.57.204 to 130.94.214.143. They're both hosted by Verio. Maybe that's all they had available at the time, before they moved to a dedicated server. Ooh, here's another idea: who the fuck cares? It's like saying that since the Zone runs Linux on their stats page... Lynch them! Lynch them!
According to the US Patent and Trademark Office, Intel has a trademark on "bunny people." Looks to me like clean room IC fabrication is up shit creek across the United States!
Maybe all 12 are not very computer-literate and are having trouble reconfiguring their Yahoo! mail preferences. Who knows, you might even get some tail out of it!;-)
I never see a blue screen of death on Windows 2000. What is this you are speaking of? I wonder if you can call a Kernel Oops-Panic a 'Black Screen of Death" cause Linux isn't just creative enough to use ANSI colors on the terminal when spewing out error messages.
Why do you elitist h4X0r5 immediately discount Visual Basic just cause it's easy to program in? I know for a fact that many corporations use VB for interfacing with electronics for testing and remote control through a serial data stream. Did I mention easy to program in?
According to your thinking, people shouldn't be using LabView cause it's just too damn easy to program in. I'll have you know that LabView is heavily used in engineering for the same purpose. Get a life. Engineers want to get something done as quick as possible, in the easiest way as possible. Just cause you write something in a more difficult language such as C or C++ doesn't make you any more l33t if you wrote an easier program that accomplishes the same task with less headache in VB or LabView!
Use the right (easiest and fastest) tool for the job. Enough of this elitist bullshit.
If they had the balls, they would reject this ultimatum policy entirely and compete and be successful without Microsoft or Windows. There are other OSes out there, lots of them. Or if none of them are sufficient, they could team with a software manufacturer to create or port one for exclusive distribution. Or they could just sell their hardware without a bundled OS.
Umm, I'll spare you the "you're a complete moron" line and just go to this:
Mass produced PCs without Windows DON'T SELL! I hope that was clear enough.
If Gateway was to do this, as you suggested, Ted Waitt will be back on the farm the next day milking cows for a living (not that there is anything wrong with milking cows for a living). Get a clue.

I have to say that the MUD-style EGA versions of the games kicked ass. I was actually disappointed the other day when they weren't listed on the "favorite game" poll.

You people need to get your head out of your asses when you think about "deceptive business practices." It's all a game... whoever is the most persistent and has the best business schemes, wins. Sounds kinda like Bill Gates's life story.
That Fortran 90 wasn't one of the supported languages for the championship. They are allowing C, C++, Java, and Pascal. If you're a problem solver, you know your Fortran. And these are math problems, evidently. So I'm baffled as to why it's not an option. Before I see the deluge of "Fortran is dying" comments, it is still heavily used for engineering problem solving, I know for a fact, so don't give me that crap.
It most likely has to do with the "Acrobat Reader isn't open source so I refuse to use it" argument that I once somehow got myself in the middle of on/.

I'm sure people have replied to your sig before...

Since we've all seen the ads for Visual Studio.NET. Heh, money buys anyone, no matter how biased.
So, like, what has more relevance to our daily life? Writing "free" software? People like you are a human wasteland. You make me puke.
Hey! I write a lot of Fortran 90 code... but I wouldn't consider it crapware. It's damn good code, too, if you ask me! :-D
I want this to have my children.
I knew geeks had trouble getting girls, but god damn, you're pathetic!
Pardon my ignorance, but I thought both are necessary to send/receive spam...
The exchange server most likely has Outlook Web Access... so anyplace with a web browser you can access the Exchange server.
And now, I don't want to hear that "I'm at the console" crap. I'm sure you can find a computer with a web browser in the vicinity.

Looks like Bill Gates and Co. are going cow tipping tonight...
Dude, that's not even remotely funny.

It sounds like you've never run Windows 2000. You might've known that it comes with a telnet server.
If someday, you get let out of your cage and you get to admin some Windows boxes, you'll see what a sad sad story remote administration of *nix is.
Right now I'm going, "Terminal Services, blah, blah, blah." Fuck off. Just trust me when I say that you don't know what real remote administration is.
They promised me a live and talking Steven in the box with my new system. Dude, those lying bastards!
Windows does not have built in capability to logon.
/. for a pit stop. Ever used NT? Maybe the SAM database is just a fairy tale...
Hmm... looks like the moron bus decided to stop at
