Funnier. Especially the registration options. More creative at least than all the.info.net.biz.etc sites that are out there, which are just ad-drivers, as far as I can tell, when they're not just trying to sell you books of multiplication tables, as the sibling to your post points out.
I was going to make what would have been an admittedly minor joke about this. The premise was going to be that the lazy kid would just say, "I can just look that up online," and then I was going to crack wise about how the site would be called multiplication.com, and if anyone were smart, they would rush out and register that domain name, etc. This would have netted a laughter quotient of around 3 x 10 ^ -8 chuckles per reader.
I was going to do all that, and then I found this.
Reality has far outrun even the feeblest attempts to parody it. I think I'm just going to go to sleep now.
Now the true significance of the BSD demon mascot is finally, terrifyingly revealed! His reign shall be merciless, and pointy! There shall be much wailing and frantic pressing of "Back" buttons, but it shall avail them naught, for even should they close one window will two more appear, and more, and more, until their screens shall be covered in it, such that all the lab may see. And they will laugh, or call campus security, or file a lawsuit. Yea, these are dark times.
Is it really based on Qt 4.0, or is it on Qt 4.0.1, released just days later with critical bugfixes? Or is it Qt 4.2, which still doesn't (at least on Mac OS X) handle Unicode combining diacriticals correctly?
Disclaimer: I work for no one who could benefit from Qt's or KDE's not being the Holy Grail of Desktops. It just pissed me off that this priority 1 bug, supposedly scheduled to be fixed in Qt 4.1 was put off, and still wasn't fixed in 4.2.
And finally, snark aside, just to restate the question: is this thing really based on Qt 4.0, as the write-up says?
Clear twaddle is still twaddle. Insurance contracts tend to be clear, precise, and rigorous, too, but they don't have much to say about the enduring human enigmas of chance, risk, loss, and death. So, bite me, analytic fanboy!:-o
Totally. What a hypocrite! I even heard that one time she lit a fire in her fireplace to keep warm.
I figure that pretty much proves that there's no need to regulate airplane emissions.
Actually, maybe he did mean to flip the whole thing. If you pull your lower lip up over your eyes, the monsters can't see you anymore. Don't believe me? Just try it!

I thought it was called "I'm Feeling Lucky."

I guess your state doesn't have a legislature?
You are very close to attaining the Zen of No-Op. Now carry my water for another 5 years, and we'll see how enlightened you get.

that's it! I'm switching back to Windows!
Unfortunately, the same point applies to humans.
Maybe next time they can hire/train more developers; Apple sure can afford them financially.
Yes, but can they afford them existentially?
I always thought Brazil was on the map to keep South America from looking like a Sea Monkey.

She advocates being a woman in public. That's still too much for some people to put up with.
The article's OK, but the title of the post should be "Why (some dude thinks) Dell Won't Offer Linux..." etc.
Whenever I hear someone use the term "elitist" negatively, I hear them shouting: "I am terrified of excellence."
Oh, sing it, my Randian brother! Let those small-minded fools cringe in fear and awe of your blinding virtue!

Kudos, editors. Fastest /. headline edit I've ever seen. It was fixed before I hit "Submit" on the above snark.
What is that? A PC that's friendly to the environmental? Is this something out of "Chronicles of Riddick"?
a vicious circle can lead to a catch-22
I think that's what's called a pickle.
How about this one?

IT IS QUIET HERE. . . . TOO QUIET.
(because there's no fork() in Windows).
There is only the matrix.
Welcome to the dessert of the real. Tasty.
Or it's like giving us brains that respond powerfully to opiates and then telling ... telling us ... we ... shouldn't be ... junkies?
Wait, I think I just blew a fuse.
