Millions of slashdot'ers have electrocuted themselves today...
Here's an interesting thing to try--
Stick a couple of old forks in a pickle with the handles pointing away from each other. Split a power cord down the middle and attach some alligator clips to the cut off part. Attach the clips to the forks and put the plug in the wall. After a few seconds, you'll see the pickel glow yellow between where the forks are stuck in the pickle. It's pretty neat to watch.
On my pokey Celeron 300, I prefer Opera over Mozilla. Not because of page load times, but because Mozilla just runs SLOW on my machine! I for one, don't use half of the features that Mozilla has. I'd rather have a browser that loads fast than have the ability to block pop-up adds and change what my GUI looks like. So to me, light weight doesn't mean fast page load times or small file sizes, it means that the application runs smoothly on older systems.
Superman vs. Batman.. woo woo. A more interesting battle will be when da man who's burnt up like a weenie fingers the drowned boy from crystal lake in Freddy vs Jason !!!
*Pondering* If Jason drowned as a boy, why is he a man now?
Um... What are you smoking? It meant EXACTLY the same thing as it does now!

I've always wondered what KDE stands for. The KDE FAQ says "KDE stands for the K Desktop Environment which itself is intended to be a collection of small tools, a window manager, a file manager and tools that bring all this together." Further research on KDE's website to answer the question What does the K in KDE stand for? reveals
"Nothing -- it is simply the K Desktop Environment, just as the X in the X window system.
But now the light is clear! The original message posted on usenet starts out like this:
The article says that "To send mail through ePostbox, companies pay about 2 kronor (19 cents) per item, some 25 percent less than it would cost to have the mail delivered by carriers." Since they are paying for it, it is different from the normal spam. They'll probably target an audience (and do a spell check!) before they send it off. I'd probably sign up if they were to send me a coupon for a free pint of Ben & Jerry's every month. Anyway, I'm just pointing out that these SHOULD be a higher quality spam that what we're used to.
About the crack about rednecks buying Lindows...what do you think the average demographic of a Wally world online customer is? I'm willing to bet it's not ma and pa kettle in podunk Arkansas.
Ha! With your vast knowledge of Wal-Mart, SURELY you see the irony in that Wal-Mart's headquarters IS located in (and has a super-store that does a butt-load of bussiness in) a small town in Arkansas!
If you ever went to Wal-Mart to freshen up for a date... --Jeff Foxworthy
I agree, but I don't think you stressed enough that not all open source projects are written from scratch. People take what is already written, make their modifications to it and claim it as their own. (giving it a new name, etc) Whether or not this is a good or bad thing could be debateable.

Do we really need to re-invent the wheel? What's wrong with X-Windows? What advantages would completely replacing X-Windows have?

I have no opinion.
ROFLMFAO!!
if it is real.. whats the quality like?
What if a terrorist doesn't get his instructions to hi-jack the plane until he is already on the plane? Wasn't this how the 9/11 attacks took place?
Good!

To get away from Richard Wool!!!
Couldn't P2P clients use a 'shit-list' method to ignore files from companies like Overpeer?

Stephanie changed colors!
Are they building any volume controls on this thing? Do you have to twist your nose?
Macindowsnix to come out!

You should put some commercials in your game.. After each level is complete -> "And now we pause for a message from our sponser..."
