You can check out Metroid 2002 though, they have a lot of Metroid videos in QuickTime format. Unfortunately not these particular records, but lots of other candy.
Shameless off-topic plug (though it's not for me in person, so I hope I get away with it): If you enjoy this, you might enjoy Super Metroid speedruns as well. Records: 38 minutes for pure speed, 58 minutes for speed with 100% items. Both by the same player, available here.
I can actually understand the case against Lindows to some degree, because Lindows is a name that might confuse consumers. wxWindows, however, is a tool for developers. Developers developing applications for windowing environments, people who very well know the difference between Windows(tm) and a windowing user interface. Joe Avg will never encounter the name.
And if they'd just stop indexing blogs, the entire Internet would fit onto a CD.
You could fit the blogs on a CD as well. Just store a template blog and include a program to generate random variations, e.g. "my dog has fluffy fur today" vs "my cat has fluffy fur today".
Technically, this would be "lossy compression" (since some data is deprecated but no one will notice the difference). Though on the other hand, it could even be argued that removing blogs entirely would be a form of "lossless compression".
Windows is designed primarily with 'security by obscurity' in mind.
Pure MS stab. Sure, the security in Windows gets some help by the obscurity, but that doesn't mean the OS was "designed" with obscurity "primarily" in mind.
Yes, the proof itself is certain - what you're saying is of course right. If I gave the impression of meaning anything else, it was due to bad or incomplete wording.
As for proving 1+1=2 with 362 pages - I don't see the point. Accepting 1+1=2 as an axiomatic definition is good enough for me:)
You can only make mathematical proofs if you accept some set of axioms that themselves cannot be proved (and thus must be taken for granted) as the foundation for your proof. As for 1+1=2, it can be proved directly using the basic axioms of arithmetic which neither are hard to understand nor require 300 pages to express.
It isn't so much a matter of the amount of taxes paid as it is a matter of how they're spent.
A little bit less war, for example, would have done wonders.

I noticed that if you start with 0, 1, you get the Fibonacci sequence. Meaning the golden ratio is equal to the ratio between the nth and (n+1)th Fibonacci number as n approaches infinity. Interesting...

Don't think so.

I suppose they go by the game's clock.
Of course, you could fake that as well if you really wanted to...

Require ZSNES and a Super Metroid ROM.
The X window system, of course.

I guess X is next.
Any greatest game competition that doesn't even include Super Metroid is completely invalid.
Seconded.

Pretend that the edges are power loader (or other arbitrary vehicle or techy outfit, whatever suits the game) support beams.
You'll get an extra kick out of the realistic bumpmapping.
Amusingly, Mainsoft's primary product seems to be Visual SourceSafe for UNIX.
This'll give them some promotion.
SCO vs. Microsoft would be like slug vs. giant squid. In more than one sense.
You know, it's somewhat amusing to hypothesize that Microsoft might've used Comic Sans internally for viewing and printing code...
Apparently that's where they put main()

I highly dislike the metric system
Yeah, base 12/7.33/3.762/15.9 (it depends on what you're measuring and the position of the digit) is so much better.
More info about base 3 computing here.
For an example of how powerful CSS can be when used correctly, check out CSS Zen Garden.
Surely it's about time for Slashdot to go XHTML+CSS?
Yes, as previously discussed here.
Or now we know why Google's search results are so good.
Yeah, the Peano axioms are what I meant by "basic axioms of arithmetic".
