Microsoft has kept computing back at least 10 years. The world would not have to put up with computers that need rebooting or reinstalling. Non ms users would not have to deal with perpetual virus/worm storms. I remember when the activity light on my cable modem used to be caused only by me and maybe Real.
This could have been a world where users could change their OS or app for $50, pretty much like they change cell phone accessories now. I would love to be using a WPS based OS today.
Anyway, a world without ms would be a place where technology from "non-ms innovation" could have a chance to flourish. The Start button? Registry? Broken standards? High prices and PRODUCT ACTIVATION! Please. They have kept computing back at least 10 years in an attempt to assimilate every aspect of it into the paid m$ borg.
It would be a world of choice and hopefully technological merit.
This has got to be the 1st time that a story has been posted three times. Oh wait, it's April Fool's. It took 15 minutes to see the story or post to it. Is Slashdot, slashdotted?
Exploding chests, acid blood, egg laying face sitters and all that Geiger stuff. The little man getting FUCKED by greedy corp. bastards. Scared the shit out of me the 1st time. My honorable mentions would be The Hunger and Full Metal Jacket.
After I recently renewed a couple of my domains, I received their mailings. One has to look really hard to find language that states that it is a transfer. Total slimeballs. I am in the process of changing the registrar of the domains at the gig now. Price, maintenance procedures and slimeball tactics are enough already. I'm voting with my dollars.
The coolest must be Metroxplex. Come on, he's a fuckin city! Of course I have a Transformer network naming scheme. Matches personalities too. eg. pussywhipped=Silverbolt. Always gives me chuckle.
Fuck the Bullshit! Jar Jar is racist!!!

Episode II Rumours

I just saw the movie yesterday. I heard the stories and couldn't believe them. However, after seeing the movie I am appalled. How could Lucas do this? I'm a generally a geek who has dark skin. I never expected this to come from the sci-fi community. Not from Star-Wars for sure! I really wanted to believe that the rumors were false. However, I saw it with my own two eyes. I have been to Jamaica several times. I swear the Gun guns, whatever, were speaking Patois. Right down to the th's that sound like t's and the use of "me" I know Jar Jar's walk is what alot of blacks would call "pimping". Lastly, alot of the facial features and expressions seemed black. Totally disgusted with this type of bullshit! Mad as hell in Champaign, the birthplace of HAL 9000.--Irie Brother

For me, newspapers died on Nov 5th. Ad influence is diminishing also. At this rate I may buy one paper a year, on Thanksgiving.
A well configured installation of SA got me employee of the month way back when. Sadly, UCE/UBE is/has ruined the Internet. Finally.

Will this be simply a kernel upgrade and I'm running 2.6? Or... will I have to wait for a distro to release their 2.6 version?
