This might have been useful to me about 4 years ago. But now there are very few people who don't have the resources for an OS like the full-blown Windows XP. This program is a day late and a dollar short (or too expensive)!
Wisconsin is the armpit of the technology world, I know... I live here! Why would we be the first ones to pick this up? I think it's time to write my representative... I'll send it via cow-mail so he actually reads it.
I am so freakin' glad about this... I was the first in my area to have an LCD monitor (a few years ago, very expensive... blah blah), and I noticed a little red dot near the middle. As much as I tried to scratch it off it would not go away!! I later found out that this was a "dead pixel" and that Yes, it was an acceptable thing. Needless to say I was raging for a few weeks about this! Now, I don't even see it, though. But I always worry when I buy an LCD monitor for someone else... (But Mine was the only one I've ever seen in a dozen monitors.)
First thing I searched was "Paris Hilton"... I have to say it brought up quite a few clips of her being interviewed. But it was missing one special clip for me to really give it two thumbs up.
How about the Xbox and a Mod chip? Even pre-installed they still run about $250! And those are Network, Pen Drive, DVD, and CD compatible... Plus they play Xbox games!:-O
I have a purpose for just about every browser out there:
Firefox - Everyday browsing (Duh!)
IE - College webmail reading (ActiveX)
Netscape - When I feel like being punished
Opera - Searching for pr0n! (Those one-handed guestures.;)
Just seems to me you can appreciate them all! Make Love not [Browser] War.
All of you are talking like Gmail is something we can all experience. I thought I was behind, and I paniced! I quickly jumped to gmail.com to see that they are still testing it!
This isn't fair... This is just like back in high school when the popular kids went to play some sport like "Basketball"!
I would like to do the same to my small town (1600 pop.); however, I suppose putting up a nice big antenna in the center and saying "Have Fun!" wouldn't qualify, eh?
I wouldn't want to become a programmer if it weren't a challenging process to debug a program. Although undeniably frustrating, it is arguably the most rewarding part of programming. There would be no limit to the number of "programmers" out there if debugging were as simple as answering a serious of easy-to-read questions.
If you're a large company that doesn't mind taking advantage of Mom and Dad or Grandma and Grandpa back at home, you'll tell them they _need_ this new great technology to prevent "Evil Hackers" and all the other evils from taking over their computer. And they will inevitably buy it because "They said we needed it!"
But since it's not a real concern among mainstream users, they will not need this overflow protection, so there are only going to be the smaller companies and individuals buying that know it's not necessary to have. (But they'll buy it too for bragging rights.) This should sell pretty good in a year or so.
I was just watching the Redskins vs. Colts game and I saw a commercial IBM put out advertizing Linux! It showed this boy and they said how amazing he was because he got along everywhere, and at the end they say "This boy is Linux" Looks to me like they're hiding nothing.
Slashdot Mirror
I was thinking some kind of port of Quake 3 and Quake 4 had come about! Now that would be a reason to switch from Ubuntu to NetBSD.

Oh man, A free Dictionary under GPL! I'm there! No more long weekends Brute-Forcing my friend's email account anymore. Yippee!!
Yeah, well... That's how Bush won last time 'round.
I thought it was for the Pocket PC... I almost blew a load in my pants. Then I read it's talking about the Mac... I almost blew my chow.
Works from Montreal, Canada... Are we considered the 51st state? Can we vote? :)
As long as it's not for Bush!

It took me a good 5 minutes to figure out this review was on a book, not an actual search engine. I thought someone was out to top Google!
I've been waiting for an updated version of Debian to come out for a while now... This looks like the answers to my prayers!
A college student like me would do a grunt job for hours just so he or she could afford pizza for the next couple nights... At least, I would! >:-D
If they let me play Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball on the big screen... I'd live there!
This sounds strangely like the plot-line from Half-Life... Do I smell a prequel?
"BULLSHIT!" Like on the Matrix Reloaded in the room with the Architect, Neo and all the monitors mimic.
This should be capitalism at it's finest. Give Gmail to the big Google coperation! (notice no tags.. I'm serious here!)

That was an amazingly quick RC turnover. Mozilla knows how to keep the impatient on their toes! :)

The best way to take a website out of existance is to give it to Slashdot! Haha, looks like Microsoft knows a little more than some people think. ;)
oops... Haha! Thanks... I shouldn't have saud I was watching it... It was on and they were wearing red jerseys. :)
