If you'd ever used Windows before, you'd know that the consequences of interrupting the user with stupid dialog boxes is not something its UI designers worry (worried?) much about...
*ahem*
It looks like you've inserted a floppy disc! Would you like any help with that?
MS are still using a kernel written (or rather, cobbled together) in 1991. Oddly enough, so are Linux distros! I'm sure 17 years of development counts for absolutely nothing... Got to get me a kernel which was written last week instead.
I've been looking for a few months now for a cross-platform alternative to SubEthaEdit. There exists a plugin for jEdit, but that's implemented on top of IRC and is a bit of work to set up
Just recently discovered MoonEdit which is a little more like what I need. The collaboration works very well, but it's a bit light on other features..
# su nobody
$ rm -rf /
Sounded safe at the time... shame I didn't realise that Mandrake 10 likes to automagically mount Windows partitions with full access permission:-/
Oh yeah, and the time I plugged a power connector into a Superdisk/LS-120 drive the wrong way. That made a nice sound:-) Pity it never worked again...
And be forced to provide the key to decrypt your filesystem, or face jail time, thanks to the wonderful Regulation of Investigatory Powers act (for those of us in the UK, anyway:( )
It certainly sounds a lot more interesting than annual lame excuse for a TV show shown in this country called "Techno Games". Featuring, amongst other pointless events, a "robot" football tournament. Only, the "robots" are actually radio controlled cars, entered by the most amateurish teams they can possibly find.
If hard drives are so fragile, how come there are a plethora of hard-disk based portable MP3 players available? Are you going to throw your camcorder around any more than you would one of those?
if you're unlucky enough to be stuck in an area with only one ISP that offers cable/DSL
You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt.
Um, what I meant to say was, some of us don't have any way of getting cable/DSL, and are still stuck with 56k or overpriced ISDN:(

I'm just saying dude, that nobody died and made you Emperor of the Internet
Indeed, David Hasselhoff is still very much alive last I checked.

A port of SubEthaEdit would be so nice...*dreams*
You wanna bet? :D

In my day, we'd change channel with a long pointy stick. Problem solved

This technology has been powering my Sim City for years!

"find out what other people who really like this song listen to" programs..
Methinks you'd like audioscrobbler, which is somewhat like firefly
Somehow I knew this was going to happen today :D ...they could at least put *something* up instead of a dead link though

Am I the only one who, having read the title, was expecting something about the latest innovation in vacuum cleaners?
