If you can't take the time to get to know your computer, and to get it the way you like it, you shouldn't be using a computer. If you don't want to learn how to use the internet, want to see which browser you like best, want to learn how not to get viruses or ads or shit like that, get off the internet, because it's as sure as shit is shit that you don't fully understand what a computer is.
A computer is a *tool*, and a way to access pretty much anything you want, not something you can only use for a predefined set of tasks (predefined by your computer maker/MS), and nothing else. Not many newbies realise that.
Just imagine...at home, wife and kids asleep, when all of a sudden your phone bellows:
"DIALLING QUICKDIAL 1: HOT HORNY HOUSEWIFE LINE"
Or if you're playing away from home...
"Contact MISS PERT BREASTS is calling!"
in front of wifey. Oh, the possibilities:)

Linux in 2004?

I tried going Linux cold turkey once, and went back to XP. It was INTOLERABLE. Menus took 3 seconds to open fully, there was a virus PREINSTALLED, my ethernet card wouldn't work, and none of this happened on Linux. Heck, I don't even need a virus checker under Linux. This is the same box.
DRM will have been adopted (albeit forcibly) in the kernel to cope with the Fritz chip. We'll be on about kernel 2.6.4 or thereabouts. KDE 3.2, possibly even 3.3, will have been released, and GNOME will be up to about 2.8, maybe 3. Around 15 governments will have taken on Linux in some way or form. MS's FUD is beginning to weaken.
And there are still Soviet Russia jokes on Slashdot.:)
The Cable and Wireless local channel over here in the UK used to run on an Amiga. It was like powerpoint, but instead of solid hours of mediocrity, you got mediocrity with flashes of grey-blue-Amiga flavoured brilliance. And Chiltern FM.
I was playing Millennium Edition Monopoly a few weeks ago-an edition of Monopoly with various bits of sparkle, and player tokens that look like things that would forever affect our lives, change them for the better and would stand the test of time.
Bugger me sideways with a wet broomstick if Concorde wasn't one of these pieces. Gotta love that irony.
Clearly you weren't one of the kids who got called "Fatty fat fat fatass" every day in junior high school... if you had been, you'd know the kind of lasting damage that words can cause.
Right the fuck on.
If you're fat, for some reason you have given your authority to be beaten senseless or (as detailed in parent) insulted. I can't understand why this is not a crime and why it is not prosecuted in the same way as racism, sexism and homophobia. All those things are harassment because of a single unchangeable part of you, and although being overweight is still changeable I don't see why it is legal to make fun of that.
On Thursday night, ER not only showed the iPod but even gave it a one-liner...something like "It's an iPod, plays digital music".
In Britain, that episode will have to be edited for the ITC to allow broadcast:
No undue prominence may be given in any programme to a commercial product or service. In particular, any reference to such a product or service must be limited to what can clearly be justified by the editorial requirements of the programme itself. An important practical yardstick is that no impression be created of external commercial influence on the editorial process. In no circumstances may the manner of appearance of a product be the subject of negotiation or agreement with the supplier.
Branded products should not, as a general rule, be referred to in audio by brand name, or shown in close-up or from an angle which displays the branding to best advantage, or for any significant length of time.

This is a server. Most servers are actually unlikely to need FIrewire or USB.
And for the record, yes, VIA motherboards DO as a matter of fact choke on dick.
Just remember that this is a server, or a firewall. It's not, in actual fact, a super gaming machine designed for l33t haX0r d00ds, it's just a great idea-a virtually plug and play Linux solution for everyone who needs a server of pretty much any kind.
This is illegal monopolistic activity, designed merely to maintain Microsoft's stranglehold on the desktop. If the courts weren't so busy with 12 year old girls and other assorted Kazaa users, they would get off their asses and sort this out.

What does "organised" mean? I have never seen this "organisation".
Fuck that, your time is not much more valuable...

Guess which one I'm using now?
Yup, RH9 with GNOME. No more MS. At all.

To find why the program went wrong, and to find out WTF went wrong so it can be avoided later.
...when this is free.
1: Set up booby trap room with laser pens and Tux doll
2: Invite schmucks to try to steal doll
3: ???
4: PROFIT!/Laugh at schmucks.
Fun happy end!

Fuck that. I stand by my MPLayer using, Mozilla running, Linux kernel-endowed Sega Genesis.
Uh, no thanks.
Arnie kicking the seven shades of shit out of Darl would make my day. Fuck governing California, he should do what he does best... ...kicking ass,
Darl + penguin + 2 minutes alone = one newly emasculated Darl.
Yay!
Handily fucked up by this: .NET is a steaming pile of horseshit. .NET makes me want to vomit .NET chunks. I hate .NET.
MS, 0. Me, 1.

...same links and all. Sorry about the off topic-ness, but this sort of thing gets to me.
Uh, they disable you in Britain as well. And anywhere else, for that matter.
Why, when reading that, do I think of Hitler giving a speech?

The parent is completely correct.
See the Sponsorship code.
I love the ITC. They're heartless bastards who don't let shit slip past their fingers.

I love it. I want one.
IANAL as always, but surely this is illegal?

There's also lots of fun to be had in typical college activities, such as random promiscuous sex...
Wait, I'm on Slashdot. Wrong place, wrong time.
