In England, one of the main cinema advertising agencies (Carlton, who also have a TV station) have a star for a logo. In the ident for their cinema ads, the logo becomes a branding iron, which is shoved in your face. Makes me want to go to the movies even more!
Carlton also have some damn fine TV idents, which are simply eye droppingly cool. even better, they were rendered on Linux! W00t! See them here in glorious RealVideo, but please be gentle...
There is no Linux. This Linux is a conspiracy, planted by stupid...Finns? What? This is a conspiracy! This Finland was built by the Americans to confuse us and sap our precious bodily fluids etc etc etc...
Maybe it's just me, but I've been on the Internet since 1994, and I've seen the ever amounting increase of spam, both porn and otherwise, and lovely porn pop-up ads. Now, I use Mozilla as my browser of choice, but my sister doesn't like it for some reason and is adamant on using Internet Explorer and all of its wonderful quirks. Quite a few times I've had to come over and shut down Internet Explorer 'cause my sister was being absolutely flooded with non-stop gay porn ads.
So? Get off that pile of crap Windows and use Linux. There are some great games on Linux, it's easier, free-er and nicer than Windblows. And Konqueror has popup blocking.

Just a comment.
Greenpeace have been very reliable with their facts so far, and are generally there to tell the truth.
The truth is nasty: we can't pretend that nuclear power is nice, and clean, and that around reprocessing plants there are daisies and butterflies and little children flying kites.
The reality is that we have a nasty situation-a big lake, which Russians have pumped nuclear waste into for about twenty or more years now, is just about to overflow-this will overflow into a river directly connected to the Arctic Ocean, which means the arctic will have nuke contamination for ages now.
See? The truth is not that nuclear war is nice and clean, and it's just a massive explosion, BOOM, forget about it...there's cancer et al to deal with.
The making makes mutants and horrible environmental consequences. Bad bad BAAAD.
Another good place for getting the truth, btw... Bellona who go from reputable sources. Read there for less mutant-populated descriptions of Russian nuclear contamination...

Yeah, but there really isn't anybody pro nuclear war...
can't remember when we (the US) adopted this tactic, but all of our nukes are intended to detonate at altitude. The theory is that the blast will cover more area anyway, and will be less likely to be deflected by large buildings or goegraphic features.
Anyway, after studying this tactic, we found that the fallout was reduced. Building better nukes further reduced the fallout. I don't know if it is just crap or what, but I have heard that a limited exchange would result in almost no fallout. After the inital gama-ray burst, the areas would be relatively safe to occupy. The only casualties would be the people who were incenerated, those who were unprotected from the gama-ray burst, and those that were burned too badly from direct exposure.

Sure, there'd be some ecological contamination
SOME?
I quote, from Greenpeace: Over 2,000 nuclear weapons tests have left a legacy of global and regional contamination. People living near the test sites have suffered from cancers, stillbirths, miscarriages and other health effects. Many had to leave their hometown or island as it became too contaminated to live there.
To hell wit dat.
KWinAcquamod + Mosfet Liquid + Careful setup of panels = usable Aqualike desktop. It has shadows and all the cool crap that comes with it...except the pointless irritating transparent windows. If they sucked on XP, they'll suck on Linux!
"Some kids were running miniature Napsters," said the academy official, referring to the now-defunct music-sharing site. "They had enormous drives - multigigabite drives - and they were on all the time. They became little Web sites."
Little wb sites huh? If i didn't know better, he's could be seen as the leader of the RIAA...
Fuck, I have a multigigabyte drive which shares pr0n and music thru Gnutella.
The man spews bullshit like a male cow with diarrhoea.
The same thing will happen with Palm OS vs Windows CE and Linux for the handhelds. The miserly memory handling and power consumption features of Palm OS will not be needed in future devices, and modern operating system features will win out.
What a pile...
People don't care about what low-level functions their PDA does. They want to use their address book program. Palm OS does this perfectly. Plus it's nice,fast, and has plenty of free apps (which users love). It's free of pointless graphical shit too. Though I have to say, the Zaurus' interface is just as nice.
Tivo like functionality is easily done with FttH, without upsetting network operators (delayed TV in effect - all programming stored on a giant server for several days - watch it when you want).
Over here in Britain, we had a similar service called Homechoice. Everything was on a central server, and you could use your remote to choose what you wanted to watch (even music videos), and it would come over ADSL. It was cheap, being about 6GBP a month. Amazingly, it's still running and it also provides broadband into the deal! No signup details on site X-(
Yeah, but the thing is that (speaking as a Windows user) you don't need Access. Do you even KNOW what PHP does with MySQL? (No, not rape it up the ass, stupid). Have you ever seen PHP-Nuke, which is essentially a far more advanced Access switchboard?
People are doing fine without Access.
1: Microsoft sees Partition Magic, who come up to them and ask for certification. M$ say "Fine, just take out the ability to fiddle with Linux/other non Windows partitions". N00bs buy software, don't care. Linux dualbooters buy software, find their software is crippled and go apeshit. Red Hat, SUsE, Gentoo et al get assraped.
2: Microsoft refuses certification for Corel Wordperfect Office, Lotus SmartSuite, OpenOffice.org (yeah fucking right!!!). Microsoft becomes ultimate monopoly. Goto 1.
3: Little granny uses her computer, then finds it fucked because grandson used a non-trusted product. Little granny gets pissed off at computers. Little granny never goes back.
4: Mr Goodboy buys a new PC with a box set of Red SuSE GNU/Linux. Tries to remove Palladium, can't-Palladium fucked his hard disk by write protecting it whenever it wasn't running! Mr Goodboy formulates plot involving BillyBoy and some whips.
I have an NTL cable modem, and it fits perfectly into a 5.25 bay, though not completely filling it. The cables come out the back, and go out through a PCI board hole (sorry, dunno the technical term). Works well, and is very neat.
So... stop being so stupid. You have absolutely no idea how Mandrake (the company) feels about the issue... and they (the company) don't represent the individual employees.
Just remembered that in Dr Strangelove, Mandrake was the calming influence upon a madman launching missiles every whichway and that. Hmmm...

Linux is fine on its own. I'm trying to instil a "Linux is great" ethos in this family, and the presence of Novell is going to do nothing for it...
Still, better than Microsoft "donating" money...
