You've got to be kidding. It's one of the most liberal countries to live in. It just protects our rights as good as it can at the same time. You might vote for 'Het Vlaams Belang' and agree with some of their points, but in the end they (as an organisation) broke the fuckin' law! I'm friggin' glad I get to live in a country where even the biggest organisations can be held accountable for it's unlawful actions.
Please, mod parent up.
Sure, this might hurt for some patriotic people, and some won't even see the truth in it, but I'm sure this guy get's support from a lot of people all over the world, including the US.
Cherry keyboards, by far the best keyboards in the world...
Ever since I've used my first spacesaver, I've never wanted anything else... good firm action, not one of those "touch me even the slightest bit, and I'll crap out a bunch of keystrokes for ya"-type keyboards...
But I guess if you like the way a logitech keyboard types... you might disagree with me on this one;)
So what is this supposed to mean?
Even Newton was a believer, so we all must tremble because the world is going to end in 2060?
I really don't get the relevance of this all...
I live in Belgium, where we have 1 Cable provider (called Telenet), and like three major DSL providers. Telenet Has a 10Mbps download limit with a maximum of 10 gigs (gigabyte that is) per month. All that for 41.95 per month, and STILL people nag about them, STILL they whine about this traffic limit. Ow, did I mention yet that traffic past 23.00 (11.00 PM) and befonre 09.00 (AM) only counts for 50%. I have 2 mailboxes of 50 Mb each, and each mailbox can have 5 aliasses. And I have 50 Megs

What a weird thing to post here...
I mean, this site is a gathering of people who believe in science and logic (yes, we're all vulcans deep down inside, aren't we;) ). Science and logic do not mix with religion. No science-geek in there right mind would believe in such a thing like a god. I believe what I see, I suspect what I deduct and I distrust what I'm told!
It always strikes me how the 'more experienced' users bash everything that tends to be popular. 'cause poular means that a lot off people might get interested in it (or probably already are), and start using it.
Yeah, I know, when jack&jane start using linux, you will not be l33t anymore. John Doe and Frank Smith might use the same thing you are using. You go 'hey, I use linux, pretty cool huh', and they go 'So? My grandma uses linux also...' You can't bear not being special anymore, so you go 'fuck linux, it sucks anyway, I use *BSD'
Not to mention your attitude against those new to the matter. Calling them 'clueless newbies' not only makes people not want to ask questions (and thus stay away from the matter completely), it also makes you look devastatingly st00pid.
There's no such thing as 'the better linux distro'. If you've never installed linux before, stay away from slack, debian or gentoo (altgouh the latter is fairly easy imho, if you follow the install tutorial). Go with mandrake, SuSE or even Lycoris Desktop/LX (or LindowsOS, if it proves to be what it claims it will be...)
Stop dissing people for using some distro, or even some OS. Sure, you can try to 'enlighten' them, but _never_, _ever_ take stabs at so called 'newbies'.
The 200$ probably bearly covers the hardware. I mean, it's a 40 gig HD, keyboard, mouse, ethernet adaptor and video adaptor. I estimate that the actual linux distribution comes around 50 bucks, which is pretty cheap for a boxed distro.
Yeah, you're probably right on that one. Although I wouldn't bet on a 64-bit linux version creating _that_ much demand for a processor. Sure, some geeks (including me) will want one ASAP, but remember, we're just talking about the kernel now. I'll feel warm and fuzzy inside when people who produce user-land software will compile AND optimise for the Hammer.
Little OT: I _reeeeaaally_ hope AMD will keep using the hammer names (although I realise it's not likely)

I'm just polishing my shiny new 1.0-rc6 install of gentoo (and madly enthousiastic about, best distro ever IMHO).
What's the difference between 1.0 and 1.0-rc6? I can't seem to find a changelog anywhere.
For those in doubt: check it out, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
