They'll take one look at a Slackware install, say "WTF this doesn't have AOL", and go back to sacrificing money to the stone idol of Bill Gates.
It's a paradox: we can't get the big names to make Linux software if there aren't enough people to make it profitable, and there won't be enough people to make it profitable if there aren't any big names.

Did the Academy even see LotR? The guy's a genius...he's exactly how I imagined Gandalf to be.
But it's all politics, I guess...hated, hated politics.
I close this post with these words of Sir Alec Issigonis that sum up the Ocsars as a whole: "A camel is a horse designed by committee."

Plus, what person would be so insensitive to vote for the best picture for a film entitled The Two Towers in this post 9-11 age? I hope Peter Jackson shows a little sensitivity and changes the name.
What idiot modded this guy up? If we went around changing classic works of literature to keep anyone from being offended, you'd lose all those sexual innuendos that make Shakespeare so much fun to read!
My online comic, The Very Wrong Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, has my e-mail address on it. However, it's set up so that you need to select it from a JavaScript dropdown to connect.
Here's the code I use (edited to show up here..the changes should be obvious):
[SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript" SRC="http://wrongsonic.keenspace.com/images/script s/mylinks.js"] on the main site, and...
function goto_URL(object) {
window.location.href = object.options[object.selectedIndex].value;
}
document.write('[OPTION VALUE="mailto:uce@ftc.gov"]Contact the Artist[\/OPTION]');
(with uce@ftc.gov replaced, of course, with my e-mail address) in mylinks.js. Obviously, it's in a dropdown of links, so if you have something like that, it'll work. I don't know much JavaScript, but I'm sure it's easy enough to create a button to click on that'll do the same thing.
I'd say mod this guy up, except I know what world he works in. And it's full of enough idiots that he's busy enough there without dealing with the ones that post here.

EVERYTHING is used to push a political cause.
Welcome to America.
> Ginger! Oh, tell me that the Segway isn't huge!
The what?
Oh, yeah, that thing that makes you look like someone who's too lazy to ride a bike.
It was poorly said, I'll admit...but yeah, that's basically what I meant.
And being my family's main computer geek, I saw it in action quite a lot too...my sister still AIM's me for help.
Thank goodness for Trillian, or I'd have to install AIM.

Does anyone here even use those for stuff other than spamtraps anyway?
People are stupid.
It's the biggest obstacle to Linux.

I'm glad to hear they're getting rid of the monolithic desktop...it was the most annoying thing about StarOffice 5.2.
Too bad they're charging for it now, though...it was great for not having to use MS Office.
Ah, well...might as well give OpenOffice a look-see.

'Yo Mamma' jokes: the last refuge of the incompetent troll.
Mod parent up and whatnot.
Here, have graphical representations of before and after Sony got involved.
Am I the only person with a Trek-related PIN number other than 1701?
Probably.
Mod this guy up, fast. That Diceware thing is great for passwords...I just swapped out my online game and e-mail passwords for Diceware-created ones.
Hey, this spam gives me an idea for a game!
"Sue the AC for 50 dollars!"
Now that's just sad. I mean, I've seen better trolls than that here.

Then the government decides to make more monopolies?
Pick a plan and stick with it already!
The Republican Party is being screwed up by the religious wackos.
The Democratic Party is being screwed up by the socialist wackos.
Just call me a Libertarian and leave it at that.
Again, GAH!
