What do I do with the two computers I already have? Or my laptop for that matter?
You could donate them to a good cause. You said that you like to support what you believe in, so why not support KDE (if you like that kinda thing)? I'm sure there are other worthy causes as well. Perhaps a local school could use them as servers?
If all else fails, you can email me, and I'll give you my address. I'm always willing to take in lost hardware.
Thanks for that tidbit, thanks to both you and the other poster that said the same thing. heh.. I stick to my Opera at home and only use ie when I must.
While I agree with a lot of what you said, I do have a reply to one point.
Where are they going that causes them to get a "ton" of message boxes? I don't think you have a grasp on the common user nor the power user nor even the internet. Please give me a couple URLs where I can see all these pop-up boxes that I have been missing
EVERY time I go to ANY page on ebay.com from work (using a patched version of ie 5.5 I believe) I get THREE popups on each page asking if I want to debug it. So when attempting to browse through various computer hardware for sale, I'm constantly hitting the 'n' key three times per page. What a waste of time.
That [.Net works with Linux] could be a big breakthrough for Linux...
At least it would work somewhere then. I've been trying to develop with.NET for a few months here. As far as I've seen, it doesn't work on Windows. They took VS 6 and decided to get rid of anything that WORKED and replace it with non-functional things. I think that.NET is something we really don't want or need on linux. I'm far happier with Java and tcl/tk and c++.
the above was the opinion of a pissed off developer, these views are not necessarily the views of the slashdot.org editors.
For a lawsuit in America, a party must have injury. This may be financial, physical, emotional, or social, but there must be some form of injury. You can't just sue someone because you don't like them, or you need the money. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure this is common knowledge.

P.S. These laws may not hold true in California, none of the other laws do.:-P
I think blowing stuff up and dropping it from incredible distances is loads of fun. I don't agree or care abotu what message they're trying to give. But wouldn't they think that BUYING all these SUVs to destroy would HELP companies that make SUVs? I sure think so.
I say research them both and cross breed. Then you can have all that is strawberry banana all from one plant. Mmm.... peeling a strawberry-banana and eating it for breatfast. Imagine cutting THAT into a bowl of cherios in the morning!

Try doing ascii art in anything but a monospaced font. It's hideous.

I'm not sure, maybe you should as Sony.

Interesting how your sig and your post work together to create a generally loving environment.
Can't we all just get along?

Isn't 'Ride a cock horse' at a daycare center considered sexual abuse?

You mention bananas and all the 'intersting' people come out.
