OK, so you've lost some money. We're all heart broken for you. Now SHUT UP and go piss in some other pool. You've been saying the same stupid shit over and over (and over and over) for long enough.
"Open Source" and linux have been around longer than VA, RedHat, et al. Maybe there's money to be made here, maybe not; those companies and many others are in the process of finding out. Personally I have some doubts but I'm willing to give them some time before i declare that their business model has failed.
If no company ever makes money from free software, that will not affect the quality of the software, which is why I use it in the first place. People will keep developing fun stuff and releasing it money or no; they have up to now.
OK, there's a pre-made translation table out there somewhere, but I'm too lazy to find a URL, so I'll just provide the English equivalent of the two phrases of ReviewSpeak you mentioned.
"instant popcorn classic" == The popcorn was more interesting.
"Really stays with you" == Nightmares. For years to come. Possibly requiring psychiatric and/or chemical therapy to eliminate.
"like a formula that had been put into a magic Hollywood computer"
Go look through the back page ads of Writer's Journal or similar. Lots of programs advertised to write everything from short stories, poems, to movie scripts. Most Mac only, for some odd reason... The endorsement blurbs are always good for a laugh; ever since I discovered the existance of such software I've had my doubts about Steven King.
Rye must you waste our time with such as this? It makes me wheat to think of all the dough spent on distributing your words around the world. I find it hard to beleive you posted that as an act of concious dill; I can't see what you stand to grain.
Yeah, my uncle got a Hummer for $44; he would of got more but he only had $50 and had to buy gas... He said the attack helicopter and C130 full of ammo went for $200 to some gentlemen wearing "Pigasus for Prezident" Tshirts.
Seriously, there's a surplus process, it's not pleasant but it's possible to find some cool stuff. It helps a lot to have a buddy "inside".
I'm glad somebody else asked about tarballs. My second thought was of a book by Steven Gould, "The Glass Helm", if I recall.
I find archery is particulary good at working those muscles in the lower arms and wrists. Don't buy into all the compound bow hype unless killing things is your main goal; get a heavy recurve and work at it until you can hit a moving target.
You poor benighted victims of an urban location should probably ignore the above advice...
"I haven't found a single web page that's actually fully compliment, with the exception of the pages on the iCab site."
...and iCab makes the validator? Hmmm.... How's that latin phrase go, you know, "Quid pro custidiet ipso facto custard" or something like that... Who validates the validators?
If you can specify it, you can build a.GIF; you can have one. Try CafePress, who have a neat little setup that let me get my own custom printed T shirt... And they'll sell T shirst and stuff for you.
Declaimer: I don't have any affliation with them other than their "storefront" for my Tshirt, which I ain't even linking to here, so there. I just have to admire them as a neat idea.
"alien attackers that we probably provoked in the first place (like Ender's Game)"
Excude me? Read the book lately? Repelling two colonization efforts is provocation? Jeez, you'd probably file charges against somebody for "intent to commit self-defense"...
I just like the book, and wouldn't want anyone to get a mistaken impression.
Hey! Reading fortune files late at night *is* research, dammit. I resent your slur; just because he's trawled the digital bible don't assume he's representative of the type. I'd refer you to the book of CRM7 but I can't be bothered to grep it.
OK, sorry, but I gotta practis my journalism skills here: "being an american college student... thought it was exciting to have a 'trampoline' program"
...oh, that's what you meant by "higher education"...
Haven't read that, did read Battlefield: Earth and while it's bad I can point out worse: "Judson's Eden" by Keith Laumer. He wrote some readable if not very good stuff, but as far as I can tell this one (justly) killed his career as a writer. Poke yer eyes out with a stick before reading this one.
Dunno about sealant, I line my plexiglass with grounded metal screen and it seems to solve the problem. With, say, 3/4 inch PVC pipe I'd want no more than a 2 inch gap between wire. Just a gut figure.
What's wrong with wood for framing? non-conductive, cheap, durable, commonly available and easily worked with standard tools, choice of beavers everyhere.
I don't think anybody's mentionioned Python yet. Without extensive knowledge of the other alternatives, all I can say is that with a little care PyApache works for me. It's much like usual CGI in use, with some tricks like a dictionary for each Apache child process.
There's a different implementation of the same idea (embedding the python interpreter) called httdapy, I think, that's a little deeper into Apache interface-wise; I seem to recall it would work with Zope, too. That project is a "web application server" done in Python, if you haven't heard of it yet.
Wireless networking devices using HAM freq's become more popluar than CB's ever were. The Internet explodes and becomes really anarchistic. Advertising becomes the province of immensely powerful stations which hi-jack TCP connections to insert that awful little "dancing nude" anigif everywhere they can.

VA Linux != "open source", or even slashdot.
Yeah, I saw one in Nashville last week. 7" LCD screen, something over $1,000 if I recall...

"and if you people haven't heard, that's the way the wind's blowing."
remember "pen computing"?
Sometimes the wind blows. Sometimes it just breaks.
...ahhh, but the trick is working it backwards for the source material...
I didn't say i could do it...

And that's not a beer can holder, ya idjit... it is for shot glasses.

nono, that's back asswards, it's EAT the mormons....
MFM: sucked over two cables
ATA: sucks over a single cable, but much faster of late
Serial ATA?: sucks over a thinner wire, longer and stronger

it was CGA... and EGA, and MDPA, and so on.
Ahh, fondly do I remember bashing bits to registers in assembler, doing instruction counting delay loops, and the wonderfull 286 LOADALL opcode...
OK, not that fondly.
I don't think it's encrypted at all. God's just not very good at commenting his code.
God is a Real Programmer.

PVC collects static. So does plexiglass.

Best ASCII art lighter I can do, looked OK in preview... Just to prove I have no life at all, as if there was ever any doubt...
Hmmm... Flamebait?
