Tablet PCs are usefull for artists, artists, and only artists. I use mine for automotive maintenance(OBD 2), and I tried programmming at school with it. It simply drew way too much attention, and without a real keyboard I was typing as slow as my fellow classmates would have on a real keyboard.
The zsh command line is the easiest, fastest, most efficient interface ever devised (though home/end support would be appreciated). KDE/GNOME tie for second. Windos and macintosh interfaces are down the line aways.
We here at Flame Entertainment are ashamed that Baby Smells would ever do such a thing. After forcing us out of the teddy bear and wireless ultra super mega long range no roaming can you hear me know cordless unphreakable phone business, they threatened to murder our mascot if we didn't give into their demands.
We are making a demand. $20 payable in 2000 installments of $0.01 apiece over a period of 2000 years, or we join the lawsuit.

Those little things bring me back to my days as a kid(3rd grade) when the only machines I had to program on were commodores, apples, and an IBM XT. I would probably be on mac instead of Linux these days if macintosh had including a c++ compiler, a BASIC interpreter, and HyperCard(HyperCard lite doesn't count.)
Wasn't that a character in the movie about a terminater coming back from the future terminate her. I thing it was called "That Evil Robot That Came Back From The Future To Kill Sarah Connel."
I started using oggs yesterday by accident when grip
encoded them as oggs by default(it supports mpegs)
They sound better, and while I'm not too concerned about
diskspace, I've heard that they are smaller.
Does the terapin mine support oggs? Can you get a
console on it?
I run my server/desktop on Linux Mandrake 8.2 because off the combination of user-friendlyness, and the inherent superiority of UNIX-based opensource operating systems. I have an old celeron hooked up running win2k pro for compiling win!#$ binaries of my software(not really necessary, but most windos users don't know how to run a java program).
If I had the resources to run a dedicated server, it would be OpenBSD. OpenBSD is a bitch to install. It has limited hardware support, and a suffocatingly strict security scheme. But its record of security speaks for its self. No remote holes in 4 years. Windows is something like 4 second.
AOL will probably market "AOL Eyes'. At only 1.5x the cost, you get "special product offers" exclusively available to AOL Eyes users. Each eye will have a seperate, full screen window inside of an mdi interface with no tasklist. It will crash whenever you turn your head too fast, and it will take your brain down with it.
So easy to see, no wonder its #1 among the morons of the world.
I started my first job yesterday, and I am forced to use Windos at work. My employer is wasting thousands of dollars in M$ licensing fees. His server crashes 3-4 times a day, and my workstation crashes even more often. How can you still say that that fits anyone's needs?
Why waste money on an inferior product? Why lose money because of that investmenet?
Too many windows users are convinced that it is s better choice because more people use it. They are relying on the opinions of people as clueless as themselves. I have used both operating systems. I know that unix is superior to windows, and I know that linux is the best unix available.
This is a war of profits, yes.
But more importantly, this is a war about ignorance.
I should have been a country-western singer. After all, I'm older than
most western countries.

I am pressed for time, so I only refreshed my Fortune Website 10 or so times in the humorist category.
I am a linux developer with significant windos experiance. Personally, the product sucks. No offense, I'm sure that you people at M$ are experianced programmers, but the commercial overhang is what makes windos inferior to Linux. Commercial UNIXes, while still unix, are closed and less stable, less secure. Your product needs a better command shell, it needs to conform to existing standards, and most importantly, it must accept that the competition is superior.
This means that M$ will go ahead with another quick fix. My guess is that internet explorer will refuse to follow gopher links because it is either "a hacker tool", a "vestigal of UNIX", or a "deprecated thingumy that we can't figure out".
It is pathetically easy to root a windos system. And I'll bet money that a virus will take advantage of this. Fake e-cards anyone?

I bet that they already have a scapegoat lined up to take the fall.

i love Big Brother. Thanks for helping me get a hold of myself.
Wahooo!!!! Better throw away all that useless ethernet cable that I've collected, we are all goin back to 10baseT!!!!!

Will we be able to buy them in a twelve pack like flying cars in the year 2000?
Oh well, guess not. We should get both by <?php echo year+25;?>.

Move to the core of the earth.
Sure it will be a bit warm, but that will be nothing compared to a reactore going off every 10-15 minutes.

The service that is so dated and over-hyped, no wonder it's http proxy servers(used by default) are number 1.0, 1.0, 1.0!
Why do they want to see through my clothes?
Mostly the later. Pop may be manuer, but it is easier to filter out than rap.
KoRn FOREVER!!!!
To me at least, the significance is not life ittself existing, but similar life.

Those who desire to give up liberty in exchange for security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.
Anything that is truly secure is useless.
I think that the median would show a different story. I'm thinking it would be at least 30, maybe even 40.
