I did the same thing. I read it as "womanlike" and wondered "what does that mean?". So, I went back and sure enough, it said "workmanlike". Of course I still wonder "what does that mean?"

I thought the objective of Linux was to give people more choices. This gives people another choice.
I have to strongly disagree with this. This advice probably made sense at one time, but there is no longer any reason to sacrifice code readability in this manner. Any modern C/C++ compiler will (by default or with the appropriate option set) flag statements such as:
if (x = 0)
with a warning. If you did intend to perform an assignment, the correct way to write it would be:
if ((x = n) != 0)
or better yet:
x = n;
if (x != 0)
but please, can we leave hideous constructions like if (0 == x) in the past? They no longer serve any purpose except to cause some cognative dissonance to anyone reading the code. (how could the value of 0 change?)
Better yet, why can't they stop it at the API level?
Why not have an option that does not allow any of the scripting engines to create a window. Ever.
Along the same vein, I can't stand it when a site decides that my browser window should be a certain size. I put the browser window where I want it on my screen and the size I want it to be. Don't screw with it!
The 10% myth is one of the most persistant myths of American culture. It is amazing how many times this obviously bogus figure is quoted by the media and charlatans trying to separate people from their money.

Indeed, after a long Quake2 session, I remember driving down the street and spotting a large object in a tree. What was the first thought that went through my mind?
Sniper! If I spin the car around, I can nail him before he gets a shot off!
I don't play anymore. Between that and the carpal tunnel, it just isn't worth it.

do you mean: Return of the Shit?
I agree with all these, but just as importantly:
If you send me a defective product, insist that I have to accept a replacement even though I decided I would rather have my money back.
I believe PDF stands for "Portable Document Format".
Every bit is sacred
Every bit is good
And if a bit is wasted

I've seen people read while they drive.
They scare me.

Is that bad?
This is what a real mini looks like.

I think there is already ample prior art for this.
LISP has had two equality operators for a very long time.
One tests if two objects have the same value. The other tests if they are the same object.
This is not a new concept by any stretch of the imagination.

Of course it's true. Why would any other country spend money on our military?
IAPWATB (I am probably wrong about this but...) I thought most GPUs were 64-bit and even 128-bit processors.

No, it forces you to spy on yourself.

The very last line of the article is: It will ship in April 2005.
Would that be April 1st, 2005?
I believe that's true for trademarks, and perhaps for copyrights as well, but not for patents.
Isn't every company's goal to take as much market share as they can?
Was Creative's plan to lose market share to Apple last year? If so, they need better management.

yeah, but then the one woman turns invisible and it just looks like three guys jerking off.
