$258 Million is much, much more than $554.84, and will do an incredible amount more. The only people who give a fuck about 'proportion' are miserable cynics like yourself who seek to belittle what he has done. It doesn't matter how much he isn't giving.
Maybe I'm just looking at the old series through rose coloured glasses, but I much preffered it to the new one.
The new one is far too emotional for my liking (though bear in mind I've only seen 4 episodes of it). Far too much emphasis is placed on the girl, and I really wish BBC at least attempted to hide the mutual infatuation between the two.
Also, I find much of the impact that the original series had is lost though having 45min start-to-finish episodes. One of the best things about the old series was the great cliffhangers.
Anyone else share this opinion, or am I seeing something that isn't there?
I think the main reason people don't flock to Linux, Firefox et al is because of this attitude right here. Believe it or not, YOU are a user. You are not above them in any way, and neither is the open source community (a community of users).
Ditch the elitism, and the archaic customs and command-line interfaces, and maybe Linux will be ready for the desktop.
Well, if we disregard the whole "chemical weapons research" thing, then yeah, I guess so. Oh, and that little hiccup with the Auschwitz 'improvement' doctors.
I thought the point of an elevator was to provide a launch platform removed from the restricitons of Earth's gravity and atmosphere. These don't exist on the moon, so what's the point?
Waste of money IMO.

8. If all good scientists worked for NASA, or a privately funded space program, then there'd be no scientists researching weapons. [emphasis mine]
What about the evil/mad scientists? If there's one thing I've learned from movies, it's that there is always a number of evil/mad scientists who want to kill humanity.
I get it!!!!! Yes!!!!! This is a good day to be alive.
It is a joke on English!!!!!!! The parent said "time to make reference of 1984!!!" but was referring to book by GEORGE ORWELL; the humor of English lies within tragic misinterpretation!!!!!! Ha ha ha ha ha!!!! I am laughing at your misinterpretation of his words to mean 1980's era of time!!!!! This is funny!!!!!!!
On the contrary, I think they are great. What's wrong with them recording you if you're doing nothing wrong?
Do you think you would still be against them if you were violently raped in an allyway, and one of these cameras happened to catch the face of your assailant as they fled the scene of the crime? They are a valuable asset to the Police.
I don't mean to feed the troll or anything, but he/she has a good point. I have quite a few Canadian friends, and I'm sure if I called them 'Canucks' I'd get punched in the face quicksmart.
Also, check out Dictionary.com - it lists 'Canuck' as an offensive slang.
It's just a matter of time before someone else gets offended.
I fail to see the humor - why wouldn't they? Look at your username for a second. Wouldn't it be unfair for me to say that "people like you" would never adopt a 'cool' alias such as Jugalator?
MS empolyees are people too, believe it or not - I fail to see why they wouldn't adopt 'cool' nicknames like seemingly everyone in the Slashdot community does.
That's just it though - it's a "cant beat them join them" scenario. I doubt Microsoft feels that threatened by Linux's current market share in relation to their own - sure, it's a threat, but nowhere near as that of, say, MacOS.
I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a Camui rocket (a 300m/s w/1km altitude max) for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder. 20 minutes.
I would just like to ask the idiots who modded this +2 interesting how a rocket can copy things between folders on its harddrive.
This is a copy/paste troll thats been around for ages. Fucking read the comment before you mod it next time...
"In Citizen Linux, I report on how many Linux users legally avoid paying taxes, as they are strange people who do not like to give their money away. I also contrast the open source community's attacks on Microsoft with its attitude of 'Peace, love and Linux'. The cover has Linus Torvalds in a gorilla suit."
Would this get posted to Slashdot? I highly doubt it. Seriously, who can blame MS for this one? Raise your hand if you enjoy paying taxes. Hell, the majority of you guys probably wouldn't support piracy if it wasn't a way to skive out of spending your hard earned cash.
Give the microsoft bashing a break already, it's beyond despicable.
I agree completely. I, as a consumer, am SICK and TIRED of benefiting from corporate competition. Why can't they all just knock us back to 5mb?

If you have to resort to bickering about button captions on the shell to give sit to Microsoft, you have problems. Furthermore, this is in no way related to the article; why is it +2 insightful?
If you let the caption of a button get to you, you need to remove the tin-foil hat and seek help immediately.
Microsoft: We don't feel like releasing our source code. Security stuff, y'know?

Microsoft: Ok, we did a bit more thinking, and have decided to release some of our source code to help improve security, just like you OSS chaps have been suggesting all along.

With all due respect (cough) to you MS bashers out there, this is a good thing and I don't believe MS should be given a bad rap for it.
Isn't one of the main arguments against Windows that its closed-sourcedness makes it harder for security holes to be found and fixed? To me, it looks like Microsoft has taken the first step in recitfying this problem.
