So that's why I never got a light sabre from my parents.

Hmm, you must be using Windows:
Move the mousepointer to the lower left corner and click the button saying Start. From the opening menu select "Run...", type the name of a program to the appearing window and press Ok. Here is a complete list of the executables you can run:

And after a while that server will face the Atari's destiny.
What everyone seems to forget, is the new/re-installations of Windows XP. I for example updated the Windows from ME to XP (about time), and the update went fine...except that Tiny Personal Firewall didn't work anymore. 3 minutes after installation, before I was able to even connect to Windows Update, I got the nice RPC shutdown message of blaster. Oh but if the worm would've been more destructive, I think it would impact the installations of Windows...hmm...
One of the bad things in Linux distros is, that as we have almost all of the programs already available (and sometimes even newer releases), the launches are not as exciting...think about the OSX users, they literally wet their pants just seeing new screenshots of the latest feline.
There's one big problem in buying music from the net: reselling. After I get bored with my cd, I just sell it away. With mp3s, I'm not able to do that. Printable covers make this problem even worse: I probably shouldn't be able to sell a self-burned cd? There will be tons more of illegal cds in second hand.
Don't get me wrong: I don't work for RIAA, but there's real problems in distributing music in electronic format.
In RC1 is also a talkback style crash reporter to collect stacktrace and error information. I hope this will help OOo team to get rid of the bugs faster.
Ok, forget those "benchmarks", they are complete crap. Hod did they manage to get those scores for PCs so low, as you can see here and here, the usual scores for similar systems are 20-60% better, ie beating G5 hands in the pocket.

Aah those were the days. Some idiot for example paid me $1500 for a T0P10.COM domain...probably buyer didn't understand that the second O is a zero.

Somehow I'm not very excited about the idea of a metallic vagina.

Riiight, Dave.
Ok, this is something they should put into Demolition Man 2!

No, eventually it will be proven that the *BSD is dying.

I, for one, could do with having my ping times halved.
I've written a simple bash script to halve the ping times. If you want it, just send $5 and the output format of your ping-command.

Ok if $150,000 drops the usage 15%, they'll just have to raise the fine up to $1 000,000.
