Is it so hard to have those css and javascript scripts in the same html file so it's easy to just use "view source" as opposed to scrambling around to three different files?
Break American law. Remember though it seems to be contrary to American opinion, there are other people in the world and some of these people actually have access to the Internet.
That's wrong btw. A head shot takes a doom 3 zombie down in one or two hits, it takes four or five accurate shots to bring him down shooting in the body. However the problem is that it's terribly hard to hit the head in this game especially because of the per polygon collision. You have to be quite accurate. The main problem with the game is that the monsters don't seem to react when you shoot them, they just keep on coming and suddenly fall down when you kill them.
As far as I know, O3 is the highest "safe" optimisation level. O4 and O5 is where it starts changing the code in possibly dangerous ways, so it's not usually used.
no you see it's totally consistant with how all software from other vendors that Microsoft have financial interests in are handled by Windows Antispyware.
I don't use RHEL or Gnome, so I can't comment on that.
Now firstly with XMMS, that is a linux clone of Winamp with some new features. They say on their website "It was modeled after winamp from the Windows operating system." And now you're going "it looks a lot like Winamp"? If that bothers you use Amarok which looks nothing like Winamp.
Secondly KDE only looks like Windows if you want it to. Whether Linspire or Mandrake design their UIs to look like Windows is their problem, but most actual users of KDE don't have their systems looking that way, definitely not me. With a fewsimpledownloads (which will probably be available in your distribution - it is in Debian at least) you can have it looking like Mac OSX. Now are you saying that KDE looks exactly like Mac OSX?
The main difference between KDE and Windows is that you can pretty much infinitely customise how KDE looks (can't say the same about Windows). My desktop, FYI, looks nothing like Windows.
Actually better on the linux front is using transparency for inactive windows with sloppy focus, the logic being that if you had a smaller window in front then should you move your mouse to the window behind it the window in front becomes transparent enabling you to see the window behind.
lol mate, I think you've picked a bad example there.
The truth is, if it's not configured already by your distro, you just have to go to settings:/Peripherals/ and click Printers in KDE (Get there through the Control Centre or Konqueror) and add the printer there.
I haven't had any troubles with printers for a long time in Linux, and I've tried a few of them.
This is for a tax refund. Tax is automatically taken out of the employee's pay and each financial year the employees fill out a tax return form stating how much you have spent on your job or job opportunities (including education) and they will probably receive checks back from the ATO.
The Australian tax system doesn't necessarily work that way. The employers keep tabs of how much tax you should be paying and send that off to the government. However if you spend money on your job or on being a student you are not supposed to be taxed on that, so you send in how much shouldn't have been taxed and they send you a check, thus the tax return.
For gods sake, this is a bit ridiculous. Not reading the story is bad enough, but it said Australian in the actual title!
ironically no they don't. They work through what's called Slaves (very innovative actually). Konqueror is just an empty shell, but it has plugins for a file manager (called KFM), a web browser (called KHTML), an FTP client, a video player, a pdf viewer, a notepad proggy, an image viewer, a network browser, a settings manager, an archive viewer and that's just offhand. Each plugin has its own name which is used at the start, so to get the file manager you can type in file:~ to get home, tar:~/archive.tar to view the tar archive, http://www.slashdot.org/ to use the web browser, etc.
Apple are a threat to their desktop system. OSS are a threat to every software product Microsoft makes (I'm not even sure I'm exaggerating there - I'd be actually quite interested for someone to name one Microsoft product that OSS isn't attacking...)
If we're talking about the linux kernel here how about a modular and immensly scalable kernel that can run with full efficiency on everything from supercomputers to robots to watches?
Actually one of the main things when people look at KDE and say "OMFG THAT LOOKS SORT OF LIKE WINDOWS!!!" is when a windows user comes to Linux and customises it to be like what he's used to. In fact when you first boot up to KDE there's an option to make it look like Windows 98 (though it's not default). An easy download can make it look and act like Windows XP.
My desktop is also kde, and it bears absolutely no resemblance to Windows except for a popup taskbar down the bottom. The standard taskbar I keep up the top holds a clock, a music player, a "run" input box, a desktop changer and a group of assorted popup menus. My desktop doesn't have any icons, rather, using superkaramba, it has widgets that display my system settings and status, as well as a few others showing a weather forecaster and a widget that I personally made where you can select a new desktop background from a list of images. It looks good, I love the feel of it, and it looks and behaves nothing like Windows or Apple.
Anyone who sees Fluxbox, Enlightenment, or even Gnome and thinks that it looks like Windows or Apple should have their eyes checked.
To add to your list btw:
Live CDs (Knoppix et al)
Looking Glass (though it's not stable yet)
Luminosity (though it's not stable yet)
Apache
Other than that, perhaps we should add operating systems to this list.
One of my favourite features of Firefox (the so-called "killer feature" that keeps me from switching to Konqueror) is the ability to have every single relevant button on one line. The single toolbar of my Firefox has the context menus, the back, forward, refresh, and stop buttons, and the location bar. It takes only a bit of space on my browser and leaves the rest of the space on my browser to actually browse.
I can't stand using Firefox on another computer especially with a lower resolution!

The only difference between death and life imprisonment is that if the person turns out to be innocent you can't say "oops, lets set him free".
At least one person.

I think a real life version of Frogger would be interesting...and easy to set up!

Sorry this is a misinterpretation. When I said you can use finger in linux I didn't mean biometric identification, I really meant
/home/strider44 Shell: /bin/bash
strider44@strider44:~$ finger strider44
Login: strider44 Name: strider44

I didn't know the GF7800GTX-SLI can get 11301 frames per second on 3d Mark. That's really quite impressive!

This is for a tax return. So I think that using this proggy is a small price to pay for a few thousand in the kitty.
Actually that would be the easy part. All you have to do is set up a fake system that pretends it's the tax office and read what data is sent.

Add on (for recent times) Enlightenment, Fluxbox and LiveCDs. Also if you want to go back far enough add on web pages and operating systems.

Actually if my memory doesn't fail me, this is the third time poor Benjamin has been convicted.
