    There are tons of laptops with broken acpi implementations and Windows patches every single one of them. Go and have a look at the leaked w2k code.

    By the way, I wonder why MSFT appears in my dmesg.

    I don't see them using force or violence. Unfortunately, the definition does not fit. Yet.

    So are the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic, to name a few. What's your point?

    Your post is so clueless, I don't know where to begin, but for one, Khruschev was a Ukrainian.

    Tell him that Stalin was not Russian and watch his head explode.

    I would not be so concerned about that. In my country, we tell children that it is "baby Jesus" who brings the gifts. Yet vast majority of the populace are atheists.

    The funny thing to me is that as you get older, the things that would make you unpopular in school, make you ideal marriage material later..... You mean being fat, ugly, sweaty, having no social skills, not being interested in anything other than math/physics/computer science and staring at hot girls will make anyone want to marry me?

    There's nothing wrong with the lights; they're just calibrated for 85 mph.

  17. Max OS X is great, but... on Running Mac OS X Panther · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I am a long time PC user, dual booting Windows and Linux. Although I am not easily influenced by advertisements, Slashdot is doing a very good job convincing me to switch.

    I know that Mac OS X is a great OS. I think I know the most important advantages of switching. What is holding me back, however, is the fact that no-one is talking about the disadvantages of doing so.

    I know that there are certain applications which do not exist on Mac OS X. But I can do my research on that topic. What truly bothers me is that there might be things I do not expect to be missing, e.g. I recently learned that iBooks do not support extended desktop, or that Quicktime does not play fullscreen.

    So I have a question to y'all switchers. Are there any annoyances you encountered when switching from Windows or Linux? Something unexpected?

    No, I was referring to the fact that you can convert between any two SI units. Meters can be converted to seconds using the speed of light, for instance.
