Would you rather be with a cool penguin(Tux for Linux), a fat guy in a butterfly suit(Fat Guy Who Thinks He's A Butterfly for Micro$oft)? Obviously the cool penguin.
Would rather be with the Fat Blue People(Blue Man Group for Intel) or Ellen Fiest(Hot Girl for Apple)?
Assuming that longhorn bluescreens once a week(I'd bet on 1 a day or more), and that you have 168(7*24) boxes in the cluster. One would need to fix a bluescreen at least once an hour.
In all honesty, I would rather work in winshit NT 4, whose bluescreen is @$#@$ing long and complicated that it makes me think that they expect me to decompile the source code and fix it! Then winshit NT 5 just told users to come crying to the sysadmin. Winshit NT 5.1 just pretends that nothing is wrong, standing there doing nothing and not responding. With its partially redrawn windows it is far from the silent dignified hanging of DOS. Will longhorn be another $300 for 5.2!? It's no surprise that I've been on Linux for years.
We need another version of some Tux games. Tux Racer is cool now, but imagine a complete Quest for the Herring game! Sales of a console version(still GPL) could help fund its progress.
If you build your aircraft/missle out of reflective materials to counteract lasers, your going to make it a large target for radar. Stealth material generally works by absorbing the energy. The two defences won't be able to co-exist.
The whole purpose of absorbtion is to stop light/radar from reflecting back towards their source. Through refraction, couldn't your missile just refract the light or reflect it at odd angles?
Aside from the myriad of features(pop-up blocking, and the likes) that Galeon had first, it uses Mozilla for rendering and has the "bookmarklets" collection installed.

Asking me to stay up all night friday for an Evil Dead marathon and some Halo(I know the game sucks, Q3 and UT forever!) fraggin is reasonable. Asking me to stay up to watch some gumball machine talk-back to a 50's poorly dubbed horror movie?
In their defense, both their framerate and dubbing are better than that Anime crap that's covered cartoon network. Where the hell are the good cartoons: Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, the Oblongs, and such!?
A "predator suit" would need to reflect differently to different angles, which no pixel system can do.
You could use some form of sensor ($5 webcam mounted on a helmet) to detect the location of a single viewer and match the image to their location based upon the current shape of the suit, but you couldn't match the image to more than one viewpoint with this technology.
Adjusting the image to account for viewer focus would be another design consideration.
Sun's 32-bit unix costs as much as 32-bit dos(winshit cripple edition) while my 64-bit unix (Debian/PPC) was free.
Actually, the above is innacurate. Let me rephrase:
M$'s 32-bit DOS costs as much 3 copies of Sun's 32-bit unix. Sun's unix has an inifinite lifespan whereas M$ will do everything in their power to force an upgrade upon you within 1-2 years.
So M$'s "solution" costs $300/2 or $150 a year while Sun's "dealy" costs $100/infinity or $1/infinity. Making Sun's "dealy" a lot better than M$'s "solution".
GNU's "Not UNIX (only respective to licensing)" costs $0. We all know that 0
Not to mention that 64-bit PeeCee(Linux/DOS/Solaris) hardware costs much more than 64-bit Mac(Linux/OSX) or 64-bit Sun(Linux/Solaris).
In all seriousness, continue to buy PeeCees with winshit installed so that Intel and M$ don't accuse me of being an "anti-capitalist" terrorist.
(I am in no way a "damn commie". I hate totalitarianism in all forms, whether by the government(true democracy), the people(communism/socialism), or the corporations(Earth).)

Mathematically, it's the best course of action. Emotionally, I'd prefer not to; can't code well with just my toes.

We just wanted some beer! We weren't building an evil supercomputer to SMURF attack M$.com again.
I do no that SMURF attacks don't require a powerfull computer, so don't reply calling me a moron.
If we let cable companies use the FBI to push their customers around then the terrorists have already won!
Don't you miss the good ol' days when it was the FCC's modem bandwidth regulations rather than the FBI's guns that controlled how fast we browsed?

In retrospect, that's why I run Linux on a Mac.
Here is my switch commercial
God rest ye CS students
let nothing you dismay
the vax is down and won't be up

The staff commited suicide
we'll bury them today
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
comfort and joy, comfort and joy.

Not only is beowulf non-DOS, but think of this:

We need something like that.

I see a powerpoint banner ad, much lower tech than this cable.
That aside, this is a y2k compliance issue. Expect the "damn commies" in Russia to rise again in the next few decades.

No more XDarwin+ssh+gaim just to chat on ICQ! That means that I might reboot to Jaguar within the next month.
I use Jaguar for Warcraft 3, 3d modeling, and audio editing. All programming and daily work will stay in Linux.
Wasn't that inspired by the "Kidz News" episode of the simpsons?
For those who don't remember, Bart and Lisa's tv show was cancelled. Its timeslot was given to "Chocobots", sponsored by Hershy and Mattel.
and we still don't have to wear a suit
I quit because of the fucked up dress code. First a private school, then my first programming job(after making enough to get my iBook).
Oh well, only three years of high school to go, two if I schedule my classes right.

Didn't I see a post about that being emminent? We only have a few million years left. Why waste them on
I don't really want to get into why I don't like Linux for the same reasons I don't go to Mass and talk about what and asshole Jesus was.
In or out of church, please don't even joke about that.

Commodore BASIC at 1.3ghz must be faster than vb on a processor of similar speed.
