That depends more on the father-in-law in question than on the marriage or wife involved. Just be glad that it's not the father-in-law explaining these things to YOU.
That is some hideous stuff. Just to think, that ANYONE with enough brain cells to make a webpage, would then proceed to use yellow text on a non-black background. Ick.
I knew society was going downhill, but this is truly sad news.
people mostly are just forwarding silly emails, chatting mindlessly with their peers, searching for pornography, and downloading crappy quality pirated music files.
Not only are we doing that, we're doing it all simultaneously!
Just becuase random Ad Spammer doesn't know what Linux is or wth IBM has to do with penguins, doesn't mean Microsoft hath offended you again. It just means that somewhere out there, an ad agency isn't targeting you. Be thankful.
How much porn would a 17-year old really want from their WAP-enabled phone? I mean, really. Sure, it's portable, you can take it into the bathroom for a private session. But the small screen? Get a life, folks. Make sure your kids aren't getting porn from the microwave while you're at it.
Kudos to the parent who doesn't give a flip if their 17yo looks at pr0n.:D
Ever since I got the Tabbed Browsing plugin/whatever for mozilla, it's been great... And I don't remember if the mouse wheel has the same functionality without that plugin, but when I wheel-click a link, it opens in a new background tab, it's SO wonderful, especially on DA where I have stuff that I have to look at every day, several links off of a main page, and I have broadband... So, for me, tabbed browsing is by far the best and most-thought-out feature of moz that IE doesn't have. Other shortcuts include wheel-clicking a tab (closes it) and wheel-clicking empty space or the new tab button (undo close tab).

Well... becuase people have already done open source, and succeeded, so he was being new and creative. There always seems to be the drive to do something that hasn't been done, and, why not? However, after win2k was ported, that should have taken the wind out this project.
As for the legality/acquiring of the source, I do not know.
Just by suggesting that, some hax0r will now want his xbox to manage his waffles or toast in the morning. Look at the DOOM you have brought upon us all!
Or, he'll just eat his waffles while he ports FreeBSD over to xbox. Or emulate a commodore 64 on xbox. Or emulate a mac emulating a pc emulating a commodore 64.
Geez, the person who does that aught to get a prize or something... Similar to the darwin awards for having "too much free time".
Then again, the vast majority of people are stupid. Certainly, that's my personal opinion, but us Americans never see a fraction of what the UN actually does. Things like UNESCO, their programs to feed starving people, educate those who don't get it in their country, help war-torn places [Africa, anyone? Maybe a little help to good old South America?] and those bumper stickers are short-sighted. The diplomats have not even as much as decided on anything, and then there are a large amount of comments on why the US needs to leave the UN.
To point it out to all of you who hold that the US should withdraw from the UN, remember that the purpose of the UN is not to make some large nation-state that covers the globe and is ruled by Benelux. It is designed to prevent World War III. How does one prevent World War III? Well, economic chaos causes political radicalism. Try Nazi Germany, try USA under FDR, try a thousand dictatorships. We can easily establish that fact. Then, political radicalism leads to war. FDR didn't invade Canada, but the trend is there. So, how does the UN prevent WWIII? WWI was caused by "Some damn thing in the Balkans."-Bismark and WWII was pretty much the same war after a cease-fire. The Balkans are poor.
So, the UN needs to remove poverty and stupidity. Have they achieved anything? Yes. Have they educated the world? Not yet. Has the US paid the UN dues in the past... long time? No.
Before you critisize the UN, remember what it is designed to do. Has it done it? Yes. Do we still need it? Yes.
Another thing- who would create the replacement for ICANN, if the UN does not? It is our de facto international body, although it is not democratic. What democratic international body is there? Would it serve the interests of the people to create, as in France (pre-revolution) a third "house," (I forget the historical name) of actual people of the countries?
quicktime is much better than realvideo.
there's the video quality, the fact that RealPlayer is bloated, whereas quicktime is not, et cetera. And I just learned that you have to wait twenty seconds between hitting "reply to this" and "submit".
So, WHY are we searching for stupidity? I don't think we've killed enough idiots in order to have to search for them. There are far too many induhviduals [--dilbert allusion] around for us to go looking for more...
Reccomended titles?
hmmm... *draws blank*
I have to give them some credit, I guess, because it is satiric.
hmm, so those 50 or so yahoo mail accounts I have made (not to spam, mind you... for things like Magic Online, etc) with their fake names and addresses... they're all going to get mail sent to those fake addresses?
Ooops. Not my problem.
Hmm... how does that affect the economics of this?
not very much, probably...

Microsoft and Sun cooperating in something? That'd be a miracle, although it does beseech them to do so in this instance. I've always viewed Sun (or read in E Week, for example) is doing this and that against Microsoft; like Yet Another Expensive Lawsuit. 'Tis popular to sue Microsoft.
SCO? Software? I never believed they made software.
SO true! Like in AP Mod Euro History, I was assigned the book 1984... but I had other things to do. So I read the monkeynotes and aced the test, prolly getting the high score. Is that insightful enough?
Am I going to read it in the future? Probably. Stupid english required reading. Not that 1984 is bad, by any means- if you think it is, go dig into Anatomy of Revolution or any similar book that sorta goes with the phrase Please Kill Me Now.
And if M$ redesigns the tcp stack, do you REALLY think it'll be any better? Are you SURE? Go hop over to windowsupdate.com for the next 36 hours, then. Sure, it might transmit 13% faster; but I wish for them to wait until the next version of windows before they try a stunt like that. Don't get me wrong, I like MS, but this is not something you play catch with. </rant>

You're forgetting the large number of stupid people out there who would let the kid keep their phone. Just a reminder.

Forget how can you find that much new music, how can anyone AFFORD that much music? Let's say that CDs range from 15 to 20$ a pop.
Therefore,
1500CDs*$15The $ You've Spent On RIAA1500CDs*$20
= $22500Money Spent$30000
And that's just on CDs (not counting cassettes). Ouch. That's more money than I've ever seen XD

Actually... I think one has to be on an administrator account to run Diablo II for some reason. (I have win2k, I assume this holds for WinXP)

It's also not too redundant if I hate PDFs. (I do). Acutally, that would make a good /. poll, if it hasn't already been done.
It was only a matter of time before the Underpants Gnomes were mentioned... if not, I would've done it myself :D

It's wonderful how Identity Theft and the RIAA get mentioned in the same breath =)
