You know why you never heard of it? Because it never happened. Those rovers crash landed on the moon. Anything else you hear is a remnant of cold war propaganda.
That's not maximum warp. I clearly remember Riker giving the order to go to Warp 13 in that episode when Picard was all old and shit and Geordi had his eyes fixed. I think it was called "The Ship That Couldn't Slow Down."
I've got an excuse: There's no reason *not* to use Windows. It's called inertia. I've already got an OS. It works. There are millions of apps. Why should I spend my time, and energy to switch? Even 'free' isn't going to make me switch. Think about that. I've already paid for an OS so why should I care that Linux is free?
Why should I knock myself out with Crossover Office trying to get Photoshop to run on Linux when I can just doubleclick on a shortcut and get it to run now? I can go to Best Buy, pick up a game and just know it will work.
As for all the supposed problems with Windows, they're non-starters for me. I run a firewall and a pop-up blocker. I install the updates. XP hasn't crashed since I got it 2 years ago. I've never had a problem.
In short, what's in Linux for someone like me other than headaches?
I'm not saying I never would switch but this has to be addressed by the Linux community. You need to come up with something that is obviously better and not for reasons that only geeks are interested in. Something so good that I am compelled to switch. I'd even pay money for it. The free thing that Linux nuts love to harp on is not important to the average user.
This is a book for children 12-13 according to the author. How many children who don't already know how to program read Slashdot? How many Slashdotters with children would be interested in this book when they can teach their kids themselves?
Who's really dumping all their pics into My Pictures without making subfolders? Subfolders and thumbnail view in XP already make searching for photos from a command line useless.
Don't you think it's a bit early predicting the demise of Napster? They lost money, sure, but they just launched. It costs a lot of money to launch a business. You claim that their model doesn't generate revenue (and I think you may mean profits, not revenue) but I don't see where in the article that claim is validated. Add to that the fact that the article mentions they are restructuring to cover the costs and this post is a non-story.
This is disturbingly reminiscent of "nuclear power will give us clean limitless energy, and don't worry, we'll deal with the byproducts later because we'll have the tools by then."
And weren't they right? Nuclear power does give us clean, limitless engery and we can deal with the byproducts no problem.
WHAT? HP infringing on my RIGHT to make a joke trillion dollar bill? Get me Alan Dershowitz on the line! My point? You sound bloody ridiculous. You point out the line in the Bill of Rights that protects the printing of joke currency and then we'll talk.
...they stress the importance of determining whether Mars ever supported life before humans touch down on the surface, because...a human will introduce microbes to the planet...and contaminate it.
So if Mars supported microbes a million years ago, humans can never go there? Fuck that.
Fark? Isn't that the site where little kids paste Admiral Ackbar's head on Natalie Portman's nude body and then discuss how brilliant Wil Wheaton is? I'll stick with Slashdot thanks.

I'd say that you're being evasive. You can't quote McBride so you take the opportunity to add your useless and biased commentary.
That's pretty large type. I'd suggest buying stock in pulp and paper because the government will be buying stacks of it to accommodate type that large.

Because at that point, it's easier for the 5% to change.
Informative? lmao! The mods have lost it!

So let's talk about it some more.
I read on AICN that Lucas has decided to change it back again and make it so that Han does shoot first.

I'm only trying to help.
A -1 is a small price to pay.

As opposed to what? What Internet are you using right now? My Internet is flooded with ads.

Change 'bank of' to 'a' and that's what I do now at home. For free.

It lessens the amount of work authorities have to do to put them in jail and sends the criminals to jail that much longer.
Luckily for you, you haven't been able to buy an off-the-rack shirt for years.
What's simpler than an angle?
This is the post that is first!

I use mine in this fashion regularly.
