No it isn't. I was going to make a refense to the idiots who think OS X is BSD internally, but decided not to hurt them any further; but you just had to trigger a leason, didn't you?
OS X has its own kernel that is not BSD or even related to BSD(*), but it is using BSD tools the same way Linux has its own kernel and is using GNU tools. Therefore BSD/OS X
KDE/Qt has that nice signal/slot thing, it must be easy to write that in a way that makes use of multi-cores.
It is! In Qt4; it has transparent thread-safety across signals and slots, making it very easy to write multithreaded Qt4 applications. KDE is a little behind, but KDE4 is still going to be more multithreaded than KDE3.
Don't confuse the issues.. Yes, sugar is bad for you in large amounts, but real sugar is a whole lot better than the corn sugar crap that is used everywhere in the US. The nice thing about real sugar is that it is a natural appetite inhibitor, which means that you will not be hungry after drinking a non-US produced Coca-Cola, in fact you are more likely to forget to eat all together, since Cafeine is also a appetite inhibitor (Many European computer nerds are unhealthly skinny as a result).
The problem is the corn sirup, that both contains high amounts of carbs, and will leave you hungry after drinking it.
Actually you are both right. W3c has just chosen a more international definition of 'em' for CSS than what it originally meant (imagine a font without the letter 'M'). For most fonts the two methods usually produce the same result.
I doubt you register for the SIM-card. You probably just register for the phonenumber. After registering, this phonenumbers is entirely yours, and you can legally move it to any other service-provider or another pre-paid SIM card.
Companies who've locked themselves in to a proprietary email system can't change when a new (and potentially better) product is available.
Let me rephrase that for you: Companies who've locked themselves in to a proprietary email system can't change when a new proprietary product is available.
no, fuel cells won the battle of efficiency but lost in power [at the moment at least]
No. Fuel cells is a red herring, designed to divert and waste money invested into alternative fuel. Hydrogen in fuel form is not naturally occuring, and producing it will reduce efficiency way way below any standard car.
You say it as a joke, but it might be partially true.
Through history there have been many people who where more than willing to adopt heavily critized, but very success political standpoints. Just see this rise for fascism in Italy or Germany, or the presence of creationists on slashdot.
No. 1. W3C makes a standard 2. Microsoft implements it in the most sensible way 3. Gecko implements in a stupid way, 4. W3C changes the standard to make the Gecko implementation law
This happened with the box-model, with the DOM model, and many other W3C details.
For a few other you can exchange step 1 and 2, where W3C decides to make a new standard that is different from the only existing implementation.
You are allowed to use reasonable force when stopping a thief. As long as he can't prove you deliberately used excesive force you should be rather safe. In some US states reasonable force included shooting people in the back with a shotgun. In Europe anything short of shooting them in the back with a gun goes. In California, who knows...
Separate process for NetscapePlugins, that's how they work. Separate process for I/O, that's also pretty standard when using Caching.
The rest seems to be silly stuff WebCore is using to created Qt-like timer events, but the events will still be executed in the main thread after being signaled.
Considering that a SecondLife player has reported an ingame rape to the police, such a scene would probably be deleted from a similar game today. All the players could sue Sierra for raping their main character..
This being Lego, and Lego being a danish company, child-safe probably means little to no graphic violence, they couldn't care less about language, and will probably not even censor the word "fuck".

Legacy documents should be saved in PDF period.
Word processing formats are not for archiving or publishing, they are for editing, and should only be used during editing.

* It's call Mach.
No it's still FUD. That some stupid companies believe the FUD, doesn't make the FUD any less FUD.
You could always use the BSD tools instead. You don't call OS X for BSD/OS X because they use BSD tools do you?

Slashdot is the quintessential blog, and slightly older than 10 years.
How much I don't know, I only started reading it 10 years ago.

Geometric growth is another name for exponential growth. Are you deliberately trying to confuse the naive moderators?

You need to configure your print to "black & white" in Windows, otherwise it will use a mix of colors to print black.

Czar, Caesar or Kaesar means emperor.

*Okay, so Godwin me.
This is not a standard contract. It is a total coverage no bullshit contract. If you break it, you do not need to prove it was accidental.
No.

Yes, since IE6, I believe.

So nothing that Firefox doesn't also do.
There is no threading in Safari.. Sorry.

Plus you send the low-level party on an inane quest about gathering some stupid pieces of something from all over the world :D

I know this was full of of nerdy references, and bashing evil stuff(tm), but I still didn't find it funny..
So I will hand in my nerd license and resign.
