Really? Seriously? It's not so much a joke as a snarky comment about the lack of editing (as usual) in the summary, which neither informs you about what the hell it's actually going on about, nor does it even manage to spell it's own subject matter correctly, for example as pointed out "Communincator".
By the looks of it most of the "hate" is coming from Bootcamp users, who aren't running Win7 in a VM at all, but are dualbooting, and so they might (rightly so) expect more battery life from the primary OS (not a guest).
Theo is only head of OpenBSD, which if you use you're probably only really in for the security anywhere. As the AC said, Theo and Linus have nothing to do with the argument about licenses..Linus even less so considering he's a kernel dev and has barely anything to with GNU/GPL/FSF etc.
What school has to ask the bloody child for the contact details for their parent? They're supposed to have all contact details on file in case of an emergency. If she was involved in an accident and was sent to the hospital how would they exercise duty of care and contact her parents if she were unconscious?
It sounds more like another case of over-reacting American school teachers.
It wasn't the government, it was the IWF (www.iwf.org.uk) who are actually an independant charity.
(quoted from their about page) "We are an independent self-regulatory body, funded by the EU and the wider online industry." "We work with UK government to influence initiatives developed to combat online abuse and this dialogue goes beyond the UK and Europe to ensure greater awareness of global issues, trends and responsibilities." "IWF is an incorporated charity, limited by guarantee. Charity No. 1112398."
It doesn't. And you know what? The fact that it doesn't change anything in the future doesn't matter either..new knowledge for the sake of learning is OK. If it wasn't, then we would otherwise tend to miss a lot (and still do).

The newer CurrentCost meters are not only inexpensive, but also provide a serial interface (over USB).
A friend of mine has created py-power-cost to extract this data into a DB and generate reports/graphs viewable via a web app.

You sir, completely missed the point. See, there, right there it goes *woooooosh*
I believe this is actually EU law, however -> [citation needed].

FYI it was a comic book series before they made the animated adaptation.
Frankly I'm awaiting the Lizard revision..
Fundamentalist poisonous food additives?
Ohnoes!!
Germany, UK and US are where they have their licensing deals, so they make advertising and referral money off streams within those countries.
No, they just have a policy of not selling on their DB to third parties, that huge DB of listening habits is used for the service alone.
Ooooooooooooor you could just go to about:config and set browser.urlbar.maxRichResults to 0.
But you know, if aimlessly bitching is your thing, please continue.
Have you considered using a mouse that doesn't suck?
Bloody hell my grammar was atrocious in this post...need moawr caffeine...

Don't blame the package manager because you don't know how to configure options on the package. ;)
Or MacPorts, formerly DarwinPorts: http://macports.org/
Mod parent up, as they're right and I'm wrong. ;)

Joke would've worked better if Linus's name were in fact Linux.
She'd probably try to guiltily screw it before dying for the 64^10th time...for a while.
People like Wolverine..........as long as they can take time out after every injury to run a "fricken' laser" beam over their wounds.
It doesn't.
