"Yes, I use it as my Windows box. It gets booted every few months, when I either need to test something or I need to get my internet checkers fix. ME is XP without the security flaws, the NT kernel, and the bloat"
xp without the nt kernel? more like win95 with a different look. and crashes more (more than 95/98). hardly a good os.
a lot of people/places/stores/etc have my credit card number. as soon as one of them removes money from my account without my permission, that is when the problem begins. they are not making a copy of my money, they are stealing it. removing the only copy of it. thats theft. thats stealing. get it?
making a copy of something is NOT stealing. get it through your THICK skull
registry? why not just double click on the clock, go to the internet time tab, then type in a new time server right there? why the hell do you need to edit the registry?
actually the company that made that video (http://www.mainframe.ca/) is still very busy making a lot of the 3d cartoons you see on tv today. like reboot, action man, beast wars, and weird-ohs.
saving this picture as a PNG file saved 300K. of course this is lossless compression as well. maybe someone should tell them about png?

yes off topic. but if you are holding the hammer backwards, why would you specify a claw hammer? the part that would hit you would be the head of the hammer if it were backwards, a ball pean hammer or other kinds would have exactly the same effect..

that are taking shots at microsoft. yet if you actually read the attached stories or look into it (like this not being a bug at all) youd find out that they are truths and nothing to be heckled at. yet if you read the comments at +3 or more MOST of the comments are jokes poking fun at microsoft. pretty sad.
Score:5, Insightful ??? he doesnt think a normal cd laser can make picture pixels that are hundreds of times bigger than the pits that are burned for data? think about it, the pixels in the pictures are visible to our eyes, try to imagine the size of the 0s and 1s. this is absolutely outrageous what he is saying and the fact he got modded as +5 is equally outrageous
what the hell? alternative? his music, at least the last two albums, are POP music. pure and simple. its mainstream pop, and its getting TONS of airplay. its as commercial as you can get.
youre darn right he should be modded as funny. lindows? stable? compared to what? windows 2.0 from 10 years ago? like it or not people, windows (curent version is xp) is VERY fucking stable. if you want to sit back with the ms bashing sheep and just keep repeating windows isnt stable then just fine. you are just kidding yourselves, and making yourselves look like idiots.

"With 64 MB memory, it can maybe hold a couple minutes of video at most"
have you seen mpeg4 movies? you can fit a 10 minute clip into 64 megs easily, and thats at a bigger screen size than this has. if it was the same size this screen has you could probably get double that. AND THEN you can encode it more lossy and double that again. two minutes my ass.
think about it. theres plenty of 2 hour divx movies that can fit on a cd, 64 megs is 1/10th a cd. thats 12 minutes of HIGH quality 640x480 or similar video. sheesh.

i dont know about 6, but 5 and previous lets you set what it associates to in the installer. or do you click past that then bitch about it?

question for you. if mozilla displays these sites fine, why would you call them "IE specific sites"?
sounds like they are standards compliant to me.

An OS with 95% of the desktop market is "that other operating system".. ok.
When most people, including most people on slashdot, run windows, I dont think you can call it "that other operating system".

since you would need to install windows anyways to get these windows programs you wanted to work in wine, why not just use windows in the first place?
