Not really.. it's just the way that I mark people who I don't feel I should reply to in the future. I don't even know you, so I don't know how I could consider you a foe.
Re: isn't short for reply.. Re: is short for regarding. Why do you think all those "While You Were Out" memos companies use have a box labelled Re: where the subject is filled in?
Kindly remove your head from your ass. Nobody gives a shit about your karma, and there is not some moderator plot against you, so don't flatter yourself.
Ah, except it's not a struggle for money, it's a struggle for power. Why do you think Microsoft dumps so much investment into a console that is still losing money? They realize that one of the battlefronts for content in the future will be the home entertainment system. If I were AOL, I would take power (in this case, readership) over money. AOL has the cash to burn, and power is hard to get.
Uh, no, actually the Dock came from NeXTStep. NeXT was bought by Apple and NeXTStep was reincarnated as Mac OS X. NeXTStep had had the dock since LONG before Windows 95... I think the first release of NeXTStep was in September 1989
Transparency is excellent for shadow effects, which are very useful indeed. Cursor shadow help the user keep track of the cursor, window shadows can provide clues to the user about which window is in focus, and provide a sense of depth to both windows (including things like menus) and widgets, so it does not seem like they are sheets of paper laying flat on eachother. Yes, it is not necessary per se, but they are good visual cues, and not just for 'fun'.
Uh, Microsoft used to MAKE a Unix OS. Do some research on Xenix. Also, please consider Microsoft has massive marketshare, and Microsoft is grossing billions and billions of dollars, and you are not. They obviously have something figured out that you don't. And Microsoft stupidity trying to beat Linux? Huh? It's a reasonable response for any company to try to beat its competitors, whether it's Sun or IBM or a community of hackers. They have a duty to the board of directors to turn a profit. It's sad because I think your viewpoint is shared by many in the Linux community, and it's fairly self delusional as to who is really in control of the market.
Uh... no, it shouldn't. Existing CD playback in standard audio devices will be kept intact. A new function that allows a duplicate set of compressed audio data also stored on the CD to be copied to a computer, where it can be backed up, played, etc. What exactly are they removing?
You can simulate a multi-tape Turing Machine on a regular Turing Machine flawlessly. Standard TMs are still the most powerful computational device we know of.

Isn't Larry Elliot the world's richest man?
I always knew I should have used FreeBSD. ;)
Is there really much consumer (not business) application for 64-bit processors? If so, where would desktop computing benefit?

I think I'll buy you a humor detector for your birthday.

Can't it be both?
Mods have no sense of humor today..
You have the I.Q. of a lemming on crack.

It's buggy and slow and wrong half the time?
Always do.

I think you meant void sysreq_check_ram(long ram).. ;)
You might want to try ^W^W instead, and save some typing. :)

Man, you just fell for the oldest trick in the /. book. :)
Glad to know the humor wasn't lost on you. ;)
I think you just made the list.
You'd need one hell of an enumerator. :)
