Seriously, though, when I was 9 or 10, I was waiting for the first pocket calculator to be invented. Well, not really, I wasn't waiting, but it hadn't been invented.
Pure coffee. None of this flavored crap. I can't stand it.
disclaimer -- I have a soft spot for the occasional cup of cinnamon coffee. Comes from my nights pulling graveyards at 7-11. We'd put 1tsp of ground cinnamon into the grounds before brewing, and it was very nice -- made the 7-11 coffee tolerable.
I agree with you about Jamaican, but disagree with you about Kona.
I suppose its all in the roast and the brewing. The best coffee I ever had in my life was pure Kona (of course, I was in HI at the time). Full and rich, boldly flavored without being overly strong.

And a googolplex was a one followed by a googol's worth of zeroes.

Although I guess it could also be the place where you kept your googol
So they're old Korean people?
Lucky you. I'm 18000 feet from the CO and can only get 1.5Mbps (I think I'm currently provisioned at 768Kbps because 1.5M gives too many drops).
PacHell used to have "Project Pronto". Of course, the SBC and AT&T mergers took care of that.

And don't forget the really odd usage of Megabyte when it comes to floppy disks.
A 1.44MB floppy disk has 1024000 * 1.44 bytes capacity, because the it's twice the capacity of the 720K (720 * 1024) disk.
Who says you're using XML for a website?
I would like to know who thought $150,000 per infringement was "a good idea".
Hint. Their organization is known by four letters, and it starts with the letters 'R' and 'I', and ends with the letters 'A' and 'A'.
You already know what she wants, and if you don't know, she certainly isn't going to tell you!
It's not about trademarks, either.
Have you looked at IBM's counterclaims in the SCO suit? One of them is Lanham Act violations for SCOX's public statements.
Oh yeah.

I have NEVER seen another implementation of long file names in FAT.
There were several of them, prior to Win95. They tended to keep a database in a regular 8.3 file, and patch DOS to lookup that way.
Lanham Act. In particular, Section 43(a)(1)(B).

Ignoring your argument about drivers, which is flat out wrong, I'll bite....
100% of the failure of linux is that it doesnt do anytthing (thats sort of an intelligence test, if you argue that linux does do something, you fail)
Define "do anytthing" [sic]. What does Windows "do"?
The author was surprised that Ubuntu didn't clobber her Win2K partition.
Maybe she should realize that there's only ONE COMPANY out there that assumes it owns your whole PC....
Networked Brother DCP series printers have worked for ages (RHEL 3, Mandrake 9.x)
That's IT, not Comp Sci.
Programming in and of itself is not Comp Sci.
it would be kind of cool to have a bargraph LED display to show me the CPU average on the system
Dell used to do this way back when they were PCs Limited.
Ares V is in the same class as the Saturn V.
Normally, users "evolved" enough to even know what is a bug tracker and how to follow the instructions.
Now, however they're unintelligently designed so as not to be able to do so.
No, hot and cold are out. However, they haven't decided between a wooden nickel or a plugged nickel.
You fail it! Incorrect reference.
You forgot that Adama is Number One. Helfer is Number Six.
