Hmm actually it was a little late I suppose. Nintendo has a horrible track record. They promised back in 93/94 that the 'Ultra 64' would be out by 1995. (If you ever play Killer Instinct in the arcade, the announcer says 'Coming to your home in 1995, only on the Nintendo Ultra 64....') It came out in 96. The Game Boy Advance was a year late, although few people know that. The Super NES CD-ROM was so that that it never appeared. The 64-DD addon for the N64 was like 3 years late, and only came out in Japan. Umm.. There's also an endless list of games that were endlessly delayed or cancelled.
It's actually very common for games or systems to be delayed, but Nintendo's had it happen rather visibly so many times that people were stunned that the GC was only late by about a month. (if that long.) hehe
I don't think the average guy willing to make this mod will have to worry about it a whole lot. A girl would actually have to get into his car to be offended by it's smell.
I agree with what you're saying, but for different reasons. In order for Linux to be successful as a Windows replacement, they'll need to think down some of the 'choices' you have. I'm not saying remove them, but maybe hide them in another layer so more advanced users can find theM? I dunno.
I installed Redhat and it came with like 6 text editors. As a newb, that was a bad time to hit me up with choices. It's the type of thing I'd like to come to on my own.
I realize this flies up against the way the Linux community feels, but they may discover it's a necessary evil. There are ways to handle it tho. How about labeling one distro as the 'default im a newb Linux user' and labelling the others as more advanced?
I mean who the hell wants to eat somthing called that?
Whooah hold on, Goobers gave us something else to call rednecks! We may have to switch over to that if they ever form an anti-defamation league because of Walmart's selling of Linux boxes!
Oh my.. I can't believe I'm seeing this. Trivializing Sept 11th to paint Bill Clinton as a terrorist is not cool, dude. I hope you grow a soul one day.
I will have nothing more to do with this thread. I can't believe some of the boundaries self-serving people will cross. Erg!
"I really wish someone would come up with a decent definition of terorism. It's much more difficult to combat something if our 'leaders' can't even define it."
terrorism Pronunciation Key (tr-rzm)

The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.
Objective? This is the site that goes nuts everytime something that places MS in a bad light gets posted. You can't fully enjoy Slashdot unless you meet the following conditions:
- You love *nix and hate MS - You hate the MPAA, but love sci-fi/fantasy movies - You want cell phones jammed but don't want free-speech supressed - You want open source software to be free but are heavily against ad-supported software
There's no objectivity here. Heh.
*Hopes everybody's in good humor when they read this*
"Essentially, the guy wanted to do some self promotion and the slashdot editors fell for it (or were paid to get into it.)"
I don't understand how anybody 'fell' for it. Self promotion? Big deal! If it's info people are interested in, great. Who cares who submitted it? It's a little different than being paid to endorse collect calls.
I got a chance to tinker with the beta firewall product that the US Gov't is developing. It's obvious they spent a lot of time on user-interface so that the general populace will be able to fight cyber terrorism. Check out this screen shot, you'll see what I mean.

Sorry, I didn't read what you said. I want nothing to do with somebody who'll trivialize 9-11.
Not exactly true. The Super NES CD Rom was inferior to the PS. The hardware was redesigned with the PS.
It was the experience with the SNES CD that lead to Sony's attempt to make their own game system. They're not regretting it.
Thank ya. ;)

Google helps you find stuff. Google does not give you informed recommendations from your peers. Duh.
Next thing you know, Nintendo will release a game system on time.
Yeah, it's as simple as building a car engine-sized fusion generator.

For some inxeplicable reason, Nintendo fans hear jokes like that all the time too.
"can you say hella lame?"
It's hard to be critical of jokes like drip's when most Slashdot people think that stale jokes about Windows crashing are funny.
"Liberals: Calling groups names, then complaining about discrimination when they retaliate."
So what's the word for somebody who takes a humorous comment too seriously?

*Shrug* I'm not the answer man. Heh.
I'd love to buy a roll of TV, change the channel to WB, and then use it as TP.
Who knows? that could displace Nielson ratings!

Well, it'd certainly mean that people rely on their computer less. "Bah, I need IE to view this site. I guess I'll go outside."
Yeah, I could see that securing computers all over America.
