since the masses will equate Linux as being a barganing tool rather than a serious alternative.
Maybe so, but that would definitely be based on flawed logic. If Linux can be used as a bargaining tool, it is because it has the potential to be used as a replacement for Microsoft's products. If Linux was not a viable alternative, it wouldn't be a viable bargaining tool either. Microsoft would just say "Sure! Go ahead and use Linux, you'll be running back to us in a year when you realize that it doesn't work."

The court has the discretion to grant or deny the request for expungement. The denial of a request for expungement is a nonappealable order and shall not be reviewed by petition or writ.

See that last sentence? A judge can just tell you to go screw yourself if he so chooses anyway!
One person suggested editing the default style. You can also go to your preferences and enable font replacing - whenever it comes across the nimbus font, it will automagically be replaced with your font of choice.
Organic Superlube? Oh, it's great stuff, great stuff. You really have to keep an eye on it, though--it'll try and slide away from you the first chance it gets.
The trick is to edit one line in one of the configuration files. I don't have the game with me, but I believe it is the following: ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=1
I believe that goes into your alphacentauri.ini file.
I have a MSN Community at: http://groups.msn.com/sidmeiersaliencrossfire. About all I do with it anymore is allow people to join occasionally since I don't have the time for anything else.
They mention it passively cools a 2.8ghz pentium 4. Would an AMD or a Centrino processor not be a better option? (granted of course the centrino-desktop mobos just came out, it wouldn't have been possible, but the AMD certainly would). Even an AMD64 laptop processor would do fine.
Although I applaud the move, this will be somewhat outdone in a few months when openoffice 2.0 is released. 2.0 will support better native integration anyway, including look-and-feel.
(though I still have to load ol' IE to get at my bank's web page and my work's exchange server)
How's this for an idea: use Opera as your main browser, and Firefox for your online banking? Internet Explorer was specifically denounced as being too insecure for online banking.
The customer feedback was probably something along the lines of "50% of us customers take advantage of rebates." Best buy wants to make that number go down while maintaining the impression to the customer that he can still use his rebate.
The point is not that the election was purposely rigged by Republicans. However, if Florida has 80,000 extra/wrong votes go to a candidate, that can feasibly change the outcome. And Florida wasn't as close as last time, but still was pretty close. It's simply unacceptable to have such massive, widespread problems in an election to determine the president of any country.
You do realize, of course, that we became sheeple so that the terrorists won't win! Because those middle-eastern shepherds won't know what to do if we act like sheep. Or something.
Well, the Russians have been selling pirated CDs dirt cheap for at least 10 years now, probably longer. And they haven't been imported to the U.S. on a significant scale yet. Why would it be any different now? With iTunes out now, it lets people buy individual songs, further reducing the need for whole cds. Importing from Russia ain't gonna happen any time soon.
Comparing it to TV is valid, but then raises this question: is watching 6 hours of TV a day really all that good either? Instead of playing 6 hours of video games, maybe he should do 3, go running for an hour, and read a book or something. There are alternatives to the digital world, you know...
Actually, John Bissell is probably his boss. The guy who wrote the virus is a disgruntled employee, and now he's laughing his ass off as his boss gets taken to jail.

I think you just alluminated the world of puns for the rest of /.

They say 32 gigabit, not gigabyte. So if you divide 32 by 8, that makes for 4 gigabytes. At least, that's the way I understand bit-to-byte conversion.

Where's Al Gore in that list? After all, he did invent the first internet, he could give some useful tips and what not.

Ok, now it's official: Netcraft confirms it. George W. Bush is dying! Or his website is. Or something.

Philology recapitulates ontology
I believe you meant ontogeny recapitulates philogeny.
Actually, I have a cardboard cut-out of John Ashcroft in my front yard, and that scares everyone away.
