It doesn't matter how you dress it up, apparently AOL has some quasi-effective means of blocking spam, and the poster wants to work around it. Listen buddy, we don't want you here, and we aren't going to help you. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
They both appeal to people who like to have unnecessary power, simply for the sake of having the additional power, and being able to say "My XYZ can outperform your XYZ", even though efficiency or safety drop dramatically.
Hardly. Every turbocharged car on the market now comes running pig-rich from the factory. Evening out the A/F ratio to something sensical will increase power, increase mileage, and greatley lessen the chances of running so rich fouling your cats (of which some newer cars have 3).
The Judge family paid nearly $300 to fix an $800 computer.
Holy crap. Does that seem ridiculous to me solely because I know computers? Perhaps it's not that different from the mechanic that wanted to charge me $100 to replace a stripped wheel stud (which I later did myself for the cost of the $3 stud and an hour).
You are correct about the WRC spoiler, but partially incorrect about the STi. The STi spoiler is flimsy plastic (or fiberglass) and bends easily when pushed upon. It's definitely not generating any significant downforce. However, it does smooth out air passing the rear of the car, as you've mentioned.
Insurance companies give a shit what they're doing. They'll fight tooth and nail to not have to pay out anything, if they can. This, similar to the data recorders in most of today's ECUs, is very helpful to them.
Are you kidding? Every PC game on the shelf at Best Buy has a PS2/X-Box counterpart. Halo, UT2003, Max Payne 1 and 2, KOTOR, etc. The list goes on and on.
If you buy a Dell, they support the hardware and software they sold you. They don't support random crap you decided to download from the Internet, nor will they be able to answer your cooking questions. Why does this surprise people?
You must be new to Linux. Having gone through the unstable -> stable shift 3 times now, I can tell you from experience it will be quite a while before the new 2.6 kernel series is up to par with 2.4 for stability and performance. Just because your test systems don't crash doesn't mean everyone should haphazardly upgrade. Look at the 2.6 TODO list, it's still very extensive.
Buzzwords like "DTrace" and "Fire Engine TCP/IP" don't sound very useful, they sound like bloat. And who needs a zetabyte filesystem? We haven't even reached petyabytes, for $DEITY's sake!
Did you read the article? These things are specifically addressed.
The question that most Mandrake to-be users are asking: Do the new 9.2 ISOs that have been released include the 300MB of updates so far, or just the new kernel RPMS? Anyone know? It's not mentioned on Mandrake's site, though downloading after the fact isn't a huge problem.
Who keeps an array without spare drives? Array manufacturers stock countless spares of the proper make and model for this exact reason, even if you don't. Please try again.
This is extremely poor advice to give, and I hope no one takes your word on this and jumps in the deep end. There are a host of unforeseen problems that can arise from using unmatched drives. This is not what the array manufacturers designed for, and they even warn against it in their documentation.

What about when it's for copyright infringement? That's still illegal, you know.

This method is flawed. Security through obscurity is no security at all.

Breaking the speed limit does not endanger public safety. Driving drunk endangers public safety.
Huh? Year of The Monkey can only be good for Ximian Desktop.
Don't forget Bucky Katt.

Zero to seven? What about the Slashdot crowd?
I'd say that pretty much covers the maturity level of the posters here.
Actually, that's kind of funny, because that's the exact phrasing of Comcast's letter. Check out the Comcast forum on BroadbandReports.

This is incorrect. See the Magnusson-Moss Act of 1975.

I recently upgraded from my iPod to the Rio Karma, and it is THE iPod killer. More reviews can be found here: article.
A couple weeks ago: the Mandrake 9.2 ISOs were available on Kazaa.

That's not FUD. Those are perfectly valid concerns. Just because you don't agree with a view doesn't make it FUD.

Some people want a stable environment. 2.4.23 provides that.
You do realize Vice City was exactly the same as GTA III, but in a different setting, right?

The Firefly first season boxed set is due out December 9th. If you want Fox to listen, speak with your wallet. Clearly, it works.
