And with the lower gravity, the surf should be quite a bit bigger, and the beach balls should fly a lot further. Please remember to put on sun screen SPF2000 until an ozone layer can be established.
I remember reading somewhere (don't ask where) that humans can fatally crash if their uptime exceeds a certain amount (something like 7 days) as essential processes are killed off by the the kernel.
HumanOS 1.0 desperately needs a fix...
Sorry, what's the current release version? 2.2.17? Hmmm, that really sounds like waiting to get 2.2 right, and not releasing some buggy product before then.
No, I cry every time that worthless excuse for a piece of software crashes and takes Netscape down with it (at least I run NT rather than 9x, so my OS keeps ticking).
Speaking as someone who has actually used Win2K, all the keyboard shortcuts tend to be hidden until you press Alt, at which point they pop back into existence.
When the San Andreas fault decides to have it large, America won't have to worry about California anymore. The high cost of living will have a painful double meaning...
The US government ought to be encouraging companies to move away from that disaster-zone-in-waiting. Face it, if Silicon Valley fell into the Pacific, the US economy would be screwed for a *very* long time.

Not to be too picky, but the reason why PocketPCs have so much RAM and so fast a processor is that the OS needs it. And as for what it does to battery life - my Palm lasts several months on one set of AA batteries.
And as for playing MP3s on your PocketPC? Having established all that RAM for the bloated OS, what do you do? Fill it up with 4, maybe 5 MP3s and wonder why you can't store *real* data anymore.
Ha, at my last job, we could take down any one of our 8 Linux servers. How? By running pppd with an ISA ISDN TA (acronym city, huh?!).
At least once a week, at worst, several times a day, a random server would completely die. Not just a process, the whole fscking server. It always happened when the pppd was under load, even when using *the* latest versions, and with support from RedHat on their most up-to-date server releases.
Call Linux a stable uncrashable OS? Ha ha!
The biggest difference between Linux and Win2K, especially as a server, is the price tag. 200 clients on Linux? Nada. 200 clients on Win2K? Ker-ching!
Even worse, the app that is supposed to report the death of Netscape goes on to cause the death of Windows. Now that is top of my long list of Netscape complaints, just above abysmal handling of HTML/CSS.
Opera and IE can do it, why not Netscape?
And who knows - perhaps the IE effort, starting from practically scratch (no Win32 API for Linux), might release a finished product before Mozilla! *grin* *ducks*
Oh goodie, time to find out what they have changed now. Everytime we get the new RH distro, something in our current setup gets broken 'cause they move config files or directories around. It really isn't worth it in a stable environment - even my sole NT server has a greater up-time than any of our many Linux boxes!
I thought it was a principle tenet of Slashdot that Linux will, and should, kill off Microsoft. You certainly get that impression by reading more than one posting here *grin*

If you Americans get into a recession, you can most likely blame your politicians who are definitely talking as though it is a fact. If enough of them say there is a recession, Mr & Mrs Joe Public will start to believe it, and act accordingly (spending less), and hey presto - a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You seem to think that Netscape 4.x falling over under Linux is a rarity *hollow laughter*
The *only* product that I've seen more unstable than NS4.x is MS's Visual Studio.NET beta 1, which almost redefines instability. Beta? Try pre-alpha!

So do llamas were orange robes? They're not as cute as lamas.
Perhaps we should define lllamas to be those people who mess up a good game of Quake?

Some website developers (like me) use cookies for session state management, and not devious Mind Control techniques.
A touch more secure than querystrings if you don't have PHP or ASP to do the hard work for you.
I thought that's what we're supposed to do with MS products - wait for the first Service Pack to come out before buying into it.
Isn't Linux supposed to be above all that "rush an unfinished buggy product to market"?

I had an Atari Portfolio - that had DOS v3 or somesuch on it. You could get a C> prompt if you wanted...
Or for anyone running Netscape under X
Like Mac OS X doesn't have a hefty hardware spec? Something like a top-end G4 and 128Mb as a bare *minimum* ?

Can we moderate this one above 5? Funny is a bit on an injustice...
That's easy - just try using Netscape. More bugs there than a pre-alpha from MS *grin*
Will anyone realise that Office is running any slower than usual? *grin*

How often was HAL's kernel upgraded?
