Why do you need a chemistry set to go back to school? If you want to prep for school just get a nice book so you don't have a tough time grunting the equations (and then you'll be able to adequately enjoy the labs).
Nobody said they didn't like it.. we just shouldn't dillude ourselves into buying the commercials (MSN ads for example) into thinking that MS (or other corps) want anything else other then to make money, squash the competition, etc.
If corporations were truely caring and consumer-centric, we wouldn't have gasoline powered vehicles still that leaked poisonous fumes into the atmosphere.
It's funny how usability is often over looked in many products, however once you give someone an interface (whether it be bad or not), and enough people are acustomed to it... it's really hard to change.
The Linux community has some great ideas that come out of it... but to move yer standard MS-gort to a linux machine, you have to throw out all their user experience with a computer OR you have to make Linux look like windows.
In developing web apps, the back button is a real !@#@!%!
This is simple philosophy, if one is one own's worst enemy, then as a collective, one collective must be their own worst enemy.
Did anyone see, "The Sum of All Fears"? Sure, it seemed to be a movie that tried to profit it off of gort-fears post-911, but in the movie it did show that the worst enemies of people are actually themselves.
Nuclear power has never been worth it, nuclear power plants are often a monument to inefficiency and waste. At least they don't hold as much political power as the large oil companies.

Is Gnome2, specifically the RedHat 8 version... way to bring it to the enterprise!
A new feature for slashdot! Yipee!
Take a look here for the recent revealing of the hoax.
Don't forget the original press release when the hoax started.
I like the sample demos that the 1.0 start page used to show for mozilla.
;)
Even more so, tabbed web browsing is great for testing various web applications.
Finally, I love the HTML composer... it's great for composing little slashdot messages
Hats off to Jay for fighting the good fight.

Just examples of what seems to be the status quo.

And off topic, if yer wondering wtf a gort is, read it . Yes, the biggest gort of all is often yourself.
Justice and dealing with MS is like oil and water, they are almost always separate.
Don't believe me? Nothing that is so, is so. read more.
Remember the six sacred words.. nothing that is so, is so.
Microsoft isn't looking out for the consumer.
Microsoft isn't looking out for US citizens interests.
The men of power behind Microsoft are just looking to increase their wealth and power (period).

Finish, and ancient finish language to help create elvish.
If we only lived harmoneously with nature, things like traffic jams would be unheard of.
I wonder how much of my life I have wasted sitting in the car, surrounded by idiots.
