Indeed, quite a few distros now support this, including my own beloved Slackware and I believe Gentoo too. Although it might be interesting to walk into the local computer superstore and ask if they'll donate some discs. Couldn't hurt.
There was a company in Britain that was modifying Ford cars to make them aquatic, but they were nothing like this speedboat, and the company has folded. Sniff.
I saw this thing a few years ago (make that 8, god am I that old?). Let me clear it up for you:
Believe it or not, quite a few people go to airshows. And these people are a prime audience for a lot of advertising. So most of the performers are in their own business, and all the Air Force/Navy does is provide them a runway for a weekend. And Robosaurus is one of those. So no, your tax dollars were not spent on this thing.
I would probably be thinking that too, but I've used the Gimp under Linux, and it sucked. Perhaps it's worse on the Mac, maybe it's better, but you can't hide the fact that it isn't exactly Free Software's poster child.
Yes, looking at the Gimp on my GNU/Linux box and then using Photoshop on my WinXP box, I would say that there is an obvious lack of professional touch.
But then I fire up Mozilla FireFox to post to Slashdot, and your argument gets blown to pieces.
My father works at a nuclear plant, and I got to tour the control room for a (deactivated) reactor that was built in the late 50s. Looks just like NASA, complete with blue-green pastel paint and old IBM mainframes.
If they actually did publish a "Passion of the Christ" video game, the violence would drive the youth of America to commit senseless acts of violence, like what happened at Columbine. I for one do not want to see that, do you?
Not far from the truth, since in Florida you only have to have a plate on the rear of the car (here in California you have to have them on both sides of the car).
Well, I guess you'll just have to use Slackware or Gentoo then, huh? *removes asbestos mithril*
As for the grandparent post, I think this codec is necessary for streaming Windows Media. Which I don't do very often, so I guess I won't be paying the $64 for the codec.
For every dollar SCO spends on lawsuits, the defendants are also pumping a dollar into their own legal fees. IBM, AutoZone, Red Hat, they all have to pay money to their lawyers as well. They won't run out of money before SCO does, but it will definitely hurt their businesses.
The grandparent was complaining about a lack of Lovecraftian movies. The parent was responding to that aspect of the post. Try reading the grandparent, and get enlightened.
You're very right. I have to deal on a constant basis with people who want me to move so they can "use MY computer" (their words, not mine). Of course, the network at my school is open enough that I can grab files from one computer and put them on another.
Hellboy was neither Lovecraft-inspired (although elements were thrown in) nor is it worthy of being associated with his work. I'm not being a prick here. It would be really hard to make a movie with subject matter like that and make it work. I think it would have to have a gestation like Peter Jackson's rendition of LotR: a fan who is truely interested in being true to the original theme could pull it off, but Hollywood would want to turn it into Godzilla.

They already did.
Yes, and the first step would be to get rid of the electoral college.

"I'm pulling IPv4 stakes up."
Just curious, what do you mean by that?
On the same note, SETI@home is also interested.

And, one wonders, where does he buy the fabric?
I hold so much of my stuff together with duct tape that your post doesn't scare me.

Yeah, for everyone who's wondering, that was Einstein.
Not until there are industry analysts who can get by without using a computer.

I know I was playing online the other day ans saw someone name JoeLieberman. Close enough, I gues;)
...Mushroom Mushroom!
Yeah, and there's a glass of Guiness on the table.

He could of just brought his girlfriend along.
