Aliens was a HELL of an action movie... 20 years later is is still considered one of the greats... between ugly nasties, blazing guns and a series of chase scenes, what more do you want in an action movie?
Was it the tense horror of Alien? Nope, but both stand as fine examples of their genre.
Yup, hence "Urban Cowboy" was correctly X rated (while it contained some nudity, nothing approaching porn... it'd be a soft R now)... the only oscar winner with that rating:)
oh yeah, I forgot. At least I didn't say phoenix....
Well, I've read a number of times that the gold release will just be Mozilla Browser, Mozilla Mail, etc. We can bandy conjecture all we want, but this is a stated intention of the mozilla folks.
Noooo, but the technical people in the world knew about those names... Firebird 1.0 will most likely be called "Mozilla Browser 2", so what's the big deal?
Slightly OT: We have a standard mail format, standard calendar format... is there a standard phonebook/contact list format?
On topic, good job to the Sunbird team... While I have to live in a multi-OS world, it's nice to have both windows and linux versions of these apps, makes syncing a realistic thing.
Bad logic here. The burden of proof falls on the non default position... and the default is the (statistically likely) position that our one system is not particularly special.
We COULD be, but there's no real reason to assume that.
No. See, "most" indicates that I was talking about the majority, which are programming / security / networking oriented. Take a gander at the O'Reilly website and you'll see what I mean.

um... No, I saw the late night showing...
:)
Yeah, I fucked up. What you said

Yeah, and how about some BFGs and tits too? Cuz, you know, that would really be in keeping with the theme of the movie...
(hint: the aliens are a plot device... the story is about the search for truth/god/meaning )

That would be restating the statement, not advancing an argument for it, but nice try :)
Bullshit, trollboy. Got some numbers to back that up?
As long as we're being geeky... The wizards are Maia (3rd level, under illuvatar and the valar), and considerably older than elves.
Yeah, choice is a real bitch, ain't it?
That'd be great... "yeah, I'm runnin TheBird... it's free, how about I give you TheBird and then you can give TheBird to whoever you want?"

These are alpha/beta names, not the final ones... What, you think many windows users knew they were usinging software based on "Chicago" ?
ooh, ooh... lemme guess... leprechauns?
Depends on your perspective... these are also elements of nature... could very easily be a hippy influence :)
If the next app is SUVBird, we'll know for sure.
Or, if you wanna go rude, just TheBird
A correction: Here the community moderates (and users can choose to browse at -1 if they want), at Fark the moderators censor. There's a difference.
I have a vonage account, and always check my voicemail via the website. It's an extra step, but it doesn't cost me any minutes...
Yeah, CA is at will.

A-Ha... but prove the existence of the babelfish!
this is kinda like if, 400 years ago, they denied the existence of atoms, when the smallest things we could see in any detail were cells...
Yes, having to think would be unfortunate :)
This conclusion is bogus. Basically all hardware works just fine with Windows. It's not the same for Linux. Give me a break."
This deduction is bogus... the hardware is built (and drivers written) with windows in mind. This damn near never happends with linux, yet.
This is like saying that a Chevy sucks because a Ford motor can't easily be used in it. Sure you can do it, but that's not what it was designed for.
The fact that so much hardware DOES work in linux is impressive as hell, to me.
Because YRO is largely concerned with privacy issues, and requiring a name and address to view a web page is a serious security issue?
