> Arrow keys on mouse scrolling not working? What, are you using Gentoo, and compiling everything with bizarre USE flags?
No, and No. I get problems with scrolling occasionally with Firefox 1.0.4. It's a problem that's plagued the earlier versions - fortunately, it's rather rare nowadays.
Agreed. Try hollering "Who's up for a game of freeciv?" at a LAN party and see how far you get.
The above-mentioned Windows games, by the way, do run on Linux with an emulator like Cedega, which unfortunately has it's own subscription fee. Even if you do get it (either by paying for it, or leeching it from teh intarweb), support is rather spotty in places.
(Doesn't stop me using it, though.)
PS: Yes, there's a CVS version of Cedega/WineX. No, it doesn't include the copy-protection code, and it's generally a pain in the arse to set up properly.

Plain Black, the company behind WebGUI, runs CMSMatrix. Whenever WebGUI gets some spangly new feature, the list of criteria that each CMS is measured against is updated to include said spangly feature.
Because of the some of weird, specific criteria listed (eg. 'Job Posting' and 'Classifieds', two items that any CMS worth its salt should be able to do without requiring specific plugins), and the fact that Plain Black tailors the features list to make their CMS look wonderful, it's no surprise that WebGUI always comes out on top when you compare it with the other CMS's listed on the site.

Passionate != Idiotic.
It's very possible to be passionate about technology, but not act like an irresponsible clown when it comes to mission critical systems.

Too late for us. Marcus, one of our resident arsehats, decided to kindly point this out to us:

And the American Webster's Dictionary lists "irregardless" as a word. Your point?
Irregardless of whether you could care less, its unbelievable that the average person could of not writing like this, isn't it?

You misspelt "misspelt"...
Go ahead, mod me troll. :P
Sorry to say, but it looks decidely rigged.

You mean they don't already? It's a bunch of people competing to see if they can use their own language correctly.
Appropriate.

Try "Canon".

After violating the GPL the first time around, they lost the right to use the code at all, regardless whether they released the source later or not.
No, that would be exposition by a BA.
The grandparent for the install idea, and the parent for the security-patches-only idea. :P
