For those interested in tracking this bug, it is Bug 217527 in Bugzilla (copy link and paste into another window ^_^). I have seen this problem many times; usually one or two refreshes will fix the problem. Note that the status on the bug says "Fixed." However the fix was pulled back out due to a problem with the patch.
For that much money, I don't really see how you could pass up an 17-inch Apple PowerBook G4. One of these babies could be optained for about 3000 USD.:-)
Can't people at least patent something that seems halfway visionary? Some of the things the lawyers are patenting these days are so ridiculously miniscule. Its like, I'm going to patent "clicking with the left mouse button here and then double-clicking over here." And then they give it a fancy "management buzzword" sort of name - and there you go you have the next great innovation that will syndicate back-end relationships, brand scalable metrics, and recontextualize vertical experiences.
The following two paragraphs show what a legal nut this McBride character is: (summary- a while back, McBride questioned why IBM had not indemnified their customers if they were so confident that Linux was free from illegal activity. However, after Novell and HP announced indemnification programs, McBride turned the argument around and stated that their MUST be something illegal in Linux, or Novell and HP wouldn't have bothered:p)
McBride and company are quick to tout the warranty advantages of proprietary software over public systems like Linux. Ever since taking on IBM, SCO has persistently goaded Linux distributors to protect their end users by offering indemnification--that is, agreeing to foot the bill if some company, say SCO, sues for intellectual property violations. As recently as October, SCO spokesman Blake Stowell reiterated the talking point. "If IBM is so confident that Linux is free and clear, why don't they indemnify their users against any lawsuit SCO could bring against them?" he asked.
That was then. Novell and Hewlett Packard (HP) have since announced that they will indemnify their Linux customers. However, McBride managed to spin the implications of those announcements 180 degrees to SCO's favor. "By announcing the programme they are acknowledging the problems with Linux. Through the restrictions and the limitations on the programme, they are showing their unwillingness to bet very much on their position," McBride told the online British technology magazine VNUnet.

True, true. I know that some of the local PBS stations bring up little blurbs before the shows, like, "Welcome to the future. PBS Widescreen," or something like that.
But I have the impression that widescreen broadcasts are still in the vast minority?
The problem with widescreen at the moment is that TV is not broadcasted in widescreen. This means that quite a lot of your $10,000 TV is not being used when watching regular broadcast tv. Granted, I love widescreen for movies, but I also would like to see televion broadcasts switch over.
Still, I have to admit that those plasma TVs look darn nice!
Oh man, I totally agree with that. Myst was the SCARIEST!!! Scary music would be playing in the background, and you were all alone in these strange places. Remember the mechanical age? There were a bunch of dead monkeys or something around there... YIKES!
The sequels are not as eerie, because there are other 'characters' to interact with. Well, some of them were pretty freaky... but... yeah

Well, what makes you think you have a *right* to that content? If it is not available, then you can't get it. Is that necessarily such a bad thing?
i'm SURE he wasn't joking or anything... :|

Run Folding@Home or some similar distributed computing project on it. :-)
Exactly. I would love to test this version out on Windows, but don't feel too comfortable compiling the source by myself. ;-)
There is an option in the OpenOffice setup program to do just that.
My Hotmail account is full (100% space capacity) of spam within one day. Needless to say, I got a new account (with Yahoo!).
Yes it does. Beautifully.
Sure we will think about converting. But to what!? OpenOffice!

Your comment implies that smart people refrain from having children. That is one of the most idiotic comments I have ever read.
On /., a lot of dumb posts are modded up to +5 funny. But this was truly funny, man. Good job. ^_^
I'm sorry, but what features does AbiWord have that frickin WORDPAD doesn't!???
uhh.. what?

I think you forgot to end your comment with the extremely appropriate, w00t w00t!
