In the previous series there was just FAR too much:
- Oh dear, the door is stuck on the holodeck. - Ouch! And the safeties are off!
You'd think the lack of the holodeck crutch can only enhance plotlines, but no. Enterprise is dull at best - I gave up watching after the first few episodes.
Adobe didn't write the detection code. They got a 'black box' to insert into their product..
I'm not sure how much info on this code they got but negelecting to run clipboard content through the black box before pasting seems like a large oversight. Then again, one of their concerns performance and having this code run every time there is a paste operation would probably be a significant processing overhead.
I noted this trend myself recently and decided to simply delete these instead of training my filter to deal with them. Very inconvenient I know but it's all I can do as an antidote to the poison.
Yeah, looks like they're finally beginning to catch up with the 90s.

"...except for sound, which no Linux distribution supports without the Open Sound System proprietary drivers."
Tried sndconfig? I've used it with a few rpm based distros and it has automagically set up a wide range of PCI, ISA and onboard cards.
Plus you get a nice sound clip of Linus when it works...
AFAIK they contain mercury (which then can be corroded by acidic drinks and cause brain damage)
I don't think amalgam fillings are employed much these days.
* a quick Google later: There we go...
The amount of cronyism/nepotism that exists means that there are quite a few job placements advertised which are filled before the ink hits the page. I gave up having my time wasted at interviews and come straight out these days. "Has this position been filled?" "Do you believe the suit does the programming or can I be comfortable at my desk in a T-shirt?"...and so on. I'm quite comfotable in my card-walloping job right now.
Looking at the first diagram in the July 2003 article I thought for a second an eMule download was almost complete and got a warm, fuzzy feeling. Then I remembered where I am (at work...)
He should be flipping the bird to a windows desktop... ...I agree, though. Too many corporations trying to potray a kooky image when what they do is far removed from it.
"Bleh! We sell OSes! Whoop whoop!"
I wonder if their logo will become another sample from the clipart school of marketing - Half bold, half normal lowercase Arial: suselinux
Still, a great distro - switched over from mdk a couple of days back. Hope the Novell deal doesn't have too much of a negative effect.

I have the following switchboxed into my computer's soundcard:
VHS
PS2
DVD
Record deck
Tape deck
ZX Spectrum
TV card
2 Guitars
It's handy only having one sound system to worry about, but the wiring's a nightmare when the need arrives to move stuff about.
Your Dad sounds pretty sensible to me...

" How much money a film makes in the US is not the best indicator of the quality of that film."
Indeed. Not a box office success but Bill Plympton's I Married A Strange Person is an incredible piece of work - recommended.

'Would there be a Linux today if, 10 years ago, everyone had said "do we really need another x86 OS"?'
They did say that as well as "Do we really need another kernel?"
The symbol font IS the Greek letters :)
What are you talking about? Jetsetting and hacking! How much more interesting does it get?
It's like that exciting hacking film Swordfish...

Ah, many's the day when I would intone "gather round family" and we'd relax around the warming glow of the old slashdot

What on earth are you talking about?
Parent was not talking about kernel code, but the prize awarded in the pool...

You may know me as just a gaping anus who passed away some time back, but yes, even I can retort your ridiculous statements..."

ZeoSync's compression of arbitrary bitstreams was a funny one. Everyone said it was nonsense, they insisted it wasn't.

2% of their workforce got this over AIM...

"What we have today is more socialist than it is capitalist."
Funniest thing I have read all day. Thank you.

If you're that worried:
Or when it comes with your computer.
Er, that's known as the windows tax and you paid it. You bought your copy of Windows.
