The left preaches tolerance, but in reality they are only tolerant of those who agree with them. Just check DemocraticUnderground for one of many examples.
Your reasoning is flawed. Despite this, your statement doesn't say much anyway. Maybe I should give links to the KKK and say that it is one of the many examples of intolerance on the "right".
Why is floating point performance more important than integer performance? People who do computational algebra are more concerned about integer performance.
C'mon Sun didn't ride the ".bomb wave". Sun was a well-established company long before that. Almost all big companies and universities had serious Sun hardware in the early 90s.
I agree-- it would be interesting to see BASH autocompletion behave like Vim. However, what about when you have a directory with 1000 entries. BASH's behavior seems more appropriate.
Wait... so... you can't see a need for a new filesystem...
No. Neither what I said, nor what I implied. My understanding was that you thought finding this file on on Unix-esque system would be harder than finding it on that vaporware Windows filesystem. I disagreed. The most naive and inexperienced Windows users I know keep everything on their "Desktop" or in "My Documents". The more advanced users use "My Pictures". The reason why Longhorn is delayed is probably because this, and other vaporware, is still in the planning stages. Moreover, there are a bunch of trivial patents to be filed, such as "file browser which filters by filetype" and all the other ways to sort and filter files.
that 3 years from now, the next version of Linux will wash my clothes, write my reports for me, and wipe my ass, all while I'm asleep. This will all happen three years from now. Well, maybe four years from now, depending on when I can coordinate release dates with the distributors. Windows and Mac have some SERIOUS catching up to do!
Who wants to bother having to update their DNS records every other day? Also, you don't have to listen to people whining about the "problems" running "servers".
I just renewed a domain on godaddy today. It was $9 for private registration. I didn't bother using it, though, because I didn't want to have to think about possible ownership issues.
I deleted Gentoo one month ago because it took two weeks to install on my 650mhz computer. And two days to do big updates.
That's interesting. On a 233MHz IMac with a slow hard drive, I installed Gentoo in one evening, and let some other things compile over night (160MB of RAM). The end result was a surprisingly fast Mozilla running in Xfce. Openoffice runs pretty decently as well. It's o.k. to do a stage3 install in Gentoo-- you still get the benefits of portage, and you can just recompile gcc and glibc later when they're updated in portage (which I did, and it was finished overnight).
Maybe they want to give a lot of attention to Firefox so that's its shortcomings are well known. Armed with this info, MS improves on these in its next release of IE.
I became disillusioned a long time ago when the moved Edit->Preferences to Tools->Preferences, which doesn't make any sense (is "Preferences" a tool???), just to be like Microsoft.
I have an OBD-II scanner. It's about $100 or so, hooks up to my laptop, and the software is free and the codes in the software are frequently updated.
My car is a 1993, which is before the OBD-II went into effect. The paper clip I use to scan the codes costs a lot less than $100. I admire that you're attempting to push the price down to $20, but is OBD-II an improvement over the paper clip?
Oops! I guess someone forgot to tell Google that they should begin making political contributions before announcing the IPO. A good hundred thou should take care of this pesky law.
O.k., here's where Stallman's "GNU/Linux" preachings are meaningful. O'reilly refers to its list as "directory of Linux commands" when obviously almost all of the commands aren't even specific to Linux.
A better analogy would be: "what if the guys doing trash pickup decided to pick up the trash on the street that tends to fall out of the garbage?" See, like the original example, the worker was doing a better job than what his ignorant employer wished, to the improvement of society.

You might want to mention that you get 99% with a sample size of 10,000, since the percentages are close.
Thanks! The Alabama football schedule shows up on the front page. AWESOME!

mod this one up funny
Please mod this up. The good people behind OSRM should be ashamed. Why tempt clowns to sue people like SCO does? Oh, I forgot, for profit.

Okay, fine. Put a picture of a bird with a cache-like (i.e. - meaningless) filename in a random place on your hard drive, then find it.
You mean like using GNU tools like find, xargs, cut, file, ls, and/or sort? Trivial...

Why would an experienced computer person want to use Gnome?
What about the Abel prize?

Michael Moore is not a radical. He's a garden variety liberal with a lot of media clout.
So which is it, then?
It's both. They use non-Euclidean statistics.
