having taken multiple courses on physics and chemistry in a public school, i'd like to inform you that neither intelligent design nor evolution has crept into the curriculum. one or both may have recieved passing mention, but it was never on a test.
let me put it this way: people contribute what they know to the conversation. if the majority of people aren't on linux/freebsd, they come up with something to say and it may not enhance the main thrust of the article.
and even though i do use linux (the config options rock) i don't usually feel like writing about it. there's all this free software, and i can download it and compile/run it, and that's really cool. i'm not all that interested in how ready everybody's proverbial grandmother is to run linux, or how well a hypothetical set of "average" users will respond to the gui; it's just not that pertinent (imo). now a program that does something new and does it well would be good to hear about, as would a new thing you can do with linux/bsd computers. stories about people using free software to do big things are also pretty neat. yro articles are important to me, and maybe some action articles like petitioning a manufacturer for driver info would also be welcome. articles that invite furious debate over brand recognition aren't as enriching to me.
and it must be good engineering that prompted apple to package a difficult-to-replace expensive battery with a non-replacable hard drive (think tiny moving crucial parts) in a sealed enclosure
i like immense configurability. focus follows pointer makes sense on my desktop, but not on my dad's laptop (trackpad is imprecise). i really like the idea that i can move around the minimize/maximize/close/above or below others/on all desktops/help/shade/etc. buttons on the top bar of windows in kde, and that i can decide which ones belong on there at all and which ones don't.
i also don't mind if things are a little different between programs. keeps you on your feet;)
the people using the currency would rather not deal in dollar coins / 2 dollar bills / etc. so why bother forcing it on them?
you probably grew up with the system you use, and (most of) the people here grew up with theirs. both societies have optimized wallets, change machines, register drawers, and practices for the system they use, and changing (get it?) would only be a hassle since each system works well for its respective country.

and i am very greatful too.
sidewalk is grafiti?... on a college campus?!
a good starcraft box should be pretty cheap
i mean, that thing will run smooth on a pentium2, and it will definitely work on even lesser hardware
ah, thanks. i was wondering how they were gonna implement that
sounds similar to what some open source projects have to do with microsoft products
maybe we can use the data from apple's switch to a "pay-per-plug" model with the ipod
which is worse: drm or a microsoft product?
tough decision, but i'd go with drm.
it would be really cool if you could play songs from the mass storage area on the ipod (even though i don't own one)
get a bolt cutter
amazing insight and humour all in one

try light mode
you can be the architect of something non-ethical
2Mx32 for me; it's got 4 horizontal ram chips with one teeny vertical 74f08 in between each pair. 72 pins
i use a piece of string to tie on my keys since the ring was too stiff for my liking
then what happens when i click on a slashdot.org link on someone's site?

oh sorry, i meant culture not color.
you know what? forget i ever said anything in this thread.
whenever someone talks about race or whatever i'll just plead the fifth.
it might be an interest thing
"That's as crazy as suggesting a quadrupegic veteran isn't patriotic!"
not to disparage veterans or anything, but losing a few limbs serving your country might not improve your opinion of said country
it could go either way really
she needs premium!
oh that would be neat
i was thinking of this as kind of an add-on for current devices
perhaps it simplifies to a matter of preference

excellent reply (i'm not kidding)
"Stupid people need to be protected from themselves."
then who defines stupid?
