Yeah, the newest Palm is about as exciting as an
old bar of soap. I'd pay $49 for one if it came with
free lifetime wireless. Who the heck wants to pay
$650 and then 20 cents per kilobyte for Palm's *yawn*
soap of the quarter?
Right on, bro. I haven't seen BHD (and wish I could
somehow without supporting it) but I did see Lord of
the Rings and it IS an arayan fantasy, as you mentioned..
Special operations have never belonged on the battlefield.
Special-ops units go into war in little packs of about 100
total in covert missions. Because the missions are so
secret, the operatives typically work alone and may not
call in support (which is probably in a training exercise
thousands of miles away) like:
a.) field artillery
b.) tanks or armored personnel carriers
c.) fixed-wing recon and attack aircraft
d.) scout or attack helicopters
(instead of the "school bus" Black Hawk)
Imagine how the mission may have been improved with the support
of a dozen M2 Bradley fighting vehicles or a pair of M1 Abrahms
tanks and some recon in the sky. Instead, our politicians coaxed
a few of our best into fighting thousands on foot or in humvees
as hired hitmen at a cost that can be concealed from taxpayers.
BHD is a perfect example of why what they do what shouldn't be
done.
Your analogy kicks butt. *checking my limewire client* My personal experience is that gnutella has
been infinitely more responsive than nap$ter lately.
And I can't see myself PAYING MONEY for nap$ter when their centralized crippleware won't allow users to download files other than mp3s:P
*ahem* While what you say is mostly true, I'd
like to represent myself as one of the remaining
3,456 loyal users of Windows. Although windows
has expensive per-server license there is not
enough which can be said about it's instability
and lack of standards compliance. U*ix admins
of today- with your technologically superior
kernels, free and open-source platforms- simply
cannot appreciate the proprietary, push-button,
and perverted nuances of this dying relic.
Hey, do you have any links handy for downloading
a FreeBSD ISO and burning one's own FreeBSD CD?
I've enjoyed doing using the floppy install via
cable modem, but I've recently had to move out
into the sticks and now I have only a dial-up
conniption.
I think the whole thing is meant to draw overnight attention to
LindowsOS and sympathy to its company. The jerks (lindow$.com)
sold out on potential customers over the NAME of their vaporware.
There's nothing about a subpeona in the press release, M$ asked
for email addresses and lindow$.com sleazily sold us out. Why
didn't lindow$.com trademark the name "Lindows" while they trade-
marked the name "LindowsOS?" Who's going to trust a company
that rolls over and succumbs to M$ like that? Linus Torvalds must
be spinning in his cubicle..

Funny! .. But I?m looking at the page in Mozilla
and there aren?t any question marks. Maybe the
problem?s on your end(?)
.. Yeah, espescially when they ctach us roasting s'mores over our laptops.

Uhh.. *confused bigtime* Roughly how many anonymous cowards are there on /. anyway?
Thanks! There's gotta be a burner here at work somewheres.. *poof*
How you can interpret netcraft as saying BSD is dead when their longest uptimes page reports that 95% of the top 50 are BSD-based websites?

Before they get started they should know that 10 megawatts is a measure of power, not energy.
