Wish I could say the same about floppies sold these days. A couple of uses and they're useless. My five year old floppies were more reliable until they eventually carked it too.
Hehe, i nearly did this to myself. Frustrated I could not make a new PC boot, and for reasons unknown to myself, I flipped the little 240/110 volt selecter to 110 and it went BANG! I count my lucky stars I wasn't zapped though.
Not to mention the VIA mini-itx boards, Shuttle spacewalker flex-atx boards, PCs that fit in a 5 1/4" bay. If I win lotto I'll make a cluster out of a backplane and a bunch of PC cards:)
I always wanted some servants but they're just so damned expensive over here what with chains, bars and stuff. I'll bet medical expenses are cheaper too after beating them.
In Australia, one of our opposition MPs (Mark Latham) had a beautiful one word summary for our Prime Minister after smooching up to George Dubbya on a trip over there: Arse-licker.
I thought it was beautifully accurate and succinct.
Myself and a bunch of other N*X geeks at the local user group have bought iBooks in the last year and a half. There are reasons other than speed to buy mac over intel.
Here in Australia, on tv news we usually see US public servants making comments on the current situation; Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Paul Wolfowitz, and some others. From the outside it seems that these public servants wield a lot of power. We hardly ever see anything of the US elected representatives.
In Australia, and other Westminster systems, those positions are held by elected representatives and they are the ones we see on the news speaking about the issues. In the US, from this perspective, there seems to be an extra degree of separation from public accountability. Feel free to correct me on this matter; it is just a bit disconcerting to see the President's public servants doing this work and not elected representatives.
There's a small difference, gun makers don't claim guns to be harmless (or addictive), tobacco companies did despite their own internal research proving them liars. But I agree that someone claiming they didn't think smoking was bad for them and by the the time they did it was too late because they were addicted is a bit of a loser/victim attitude.
I had nothing against older PCs, until I got a job fixing them, now I'd like to burn anything less than a PPro. That aside, apache is a pretty small package, try compiling openoffice instead.

And it would make a hell of a movie combined with some magic mushrooms, lsd, or other hallucinogenic.

Nothing to do with inequality and everything to do with popularity.

...is that you will give it all to me.
I don't know what sick and twisted world you live in mister, today we have webcams.
Nah, just kidding.
But first don't forget to edit your CVSup file to
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5 (Does it exist yet. Use a "." for current.)
Otherwise you will still be running 4.x

You won't regret it.

Now that we have grammatically analysed the joke the funniness has been sucked from it.
Ah, damn Mozilla.
Why don't you look at the bottom right corner of their page doofus.
I think this thread needs more:
BSD/OS: "Still here somewhere"
You know the UN will insist weapons inspections take place first though.
If they are anything like us they could have extincted themselves before they could build spacecraft that could travel long distances supporting life.
I'm already wearing a laser watch, grappling hook watch and walkie-talkie watch, can't we just combine all these features into one watch?
