What if I say Hey, I think this site is cool and you need to check it out. and they have ASCAP protected music. Why in the hell should I be forced to pay ASCAP because I linked to a site that just happened to have music? Hmm?
No one's having a problem with "You need to go check it out." It's a problem when I can't discern the content on your site, and the content on their site. A while ago, my brother wanted my help getting a portal site to do what he wanted. He had ideas he got from different portals, but wanted his weather like Yahoo, and his news like Excite, and so on. I built him a page that lived on his own harddrive, that had bunches of frames, each pointing to just the right spot on his 4 different portal accounts, so that he could see the pieces he wanted all at once when he turned on his machine, but the page fitted them together (kinda) seemlessly.
I know now that this site is illegal. If I AM charged, I really hope it's by the user, because I don't think he even uses it anymore, and it never left his harddrive.
Might be pretty buggy. I thing we've talked about Lotus AND Linux a few times each. (And even a few times together.)

Sounds like a more powerful version of that "Find a random person to chat with." button on ICQ.
Sounds god-awful.
I _RARELY_ want to speak to a random human-being. I can't remember the last time I saw someone on the street, and said "Hey, you have a computer TOO! Wow. We have a lot in common. Let's have lunch."
Yeah, AC obviously just confused the 2 unrelated articles as one. Not a hard mistake to make.
But that brings up an important point. Why were the two articles posted as one? They're pretty different. Yeah, I understand that they can both be lumped into the heading "Browser News," but they're pretty different topics, each of which deserve their own space. I think each have brought out good comments. (The netscape story on a little Mozzilla discussion, and the Netomat on this hippy-crap of a browser.)
I totally object to some moderator's marking of "OffTopic" on this one. I demand that some other moderator mark it as "Interesting" or "Insightful" in recompense.
It's Friday, so people make mistakes. Like trashing power-lines. Plus, CmdrTaco might just be pulling the old "The-PhoneCompany-Killed-My-Power" gag for a long weekend.
Dude! How many guys from the phone company do you think we have on/.? I'd imagine it's hard to check the web at noon, if you're fixin' phones at 11. Yesterday, there weren't any Frenchmen saying "Hey, this new Merridian isn't really stupid," and we never have any Micro$oft guys saying "Hey, we're not so bad."
I think, in general, we don't have nearly enough conflicts on/.:)
We're not coming up with anything new here. Listen to their jingle. It's the one at the bottom of their page, subtly marked with the link "They've Got You. Buy the Bawls".
Bawls isn't limiting themselves to naked women. You should check out the link marked "Meet the Bawls Spokesmodel"
Her name is "Bambi," and she's pretty insulting. There's even a letter from a 'concerned female reader.' Bambi responds with great lines, like "Perhaps you are caloricly challenged (fat) and your complexion tends to be lifeless (ugly)." and "I find that the more make-up I apply and the more BAWLS Guarana I drink, the closer I am to inner peace."

Maybe I should dust off my childhood copy of The Fat Dead Guy's Little Red Book.

"Childhood"? "Fat"? "Red"?
What does Santa have to do with the Linux revolution?
OH! I get it.
Santa => 'Giving presents to all the little boys & girls' => Communism => China.
Got it.

How many religions believe that Pride is a Sin? Just Christianity?

Whoa, dude. Settle down. The purpose of the group was to protect the artists rights. So that they would make more music. For you.
They aren't really designed to be Nazis. It's a shame they turned out that way, but WHOA!
Littleton?!? Free-Association gone haywire.

Yeah. Maybe get a cute little WebCam over there, post all the exciting views to /.
Then, whenever the power goes out, we can, uh, oh, nevermind.

Wow.
Good call, AC. What's up, guys?
A little repetitive. A little repetitive.
What's the book? Recomendations are great.

Sorry. Just snooping at your email address.

Does this mean that they'll do pre-installs of Linux on their machines? Anybody know what distribution they're using?
