Who are these motherfuckers who began using IE in the first place?:-)
I haven't used IE in 8 years (i.e. since I got rich enough to buy a modem and a dial-up account).
There are other cases - I'm an European, but not a citizen of an EU country. You might ask - why should I care? Because in less than two years my country will join the EU, even without a national refendum on the matter. And we will get the software patents without having been able to protest against them!
The Korean war is not over: A cease-fire established a demilitarized zone (DMZ) around the 38th parallel, which is still defended today by North Korean troops on one side and South Korean and American troops on the other. No peace treaty has yet been signed to date. The full article from Wikipedia
As you have observed by yourself, there are many agnostics and atheists who just don't care about religion. But (again observed by you personally) there are some which would mind being prayed for.
Do you know if Hans was an atheist, or if not - which religion did he believe in? Do you know if he would mind a christian/whatever prayer? I strongly suspect that you don't.
It is much better to do nothing than to do something good (in your views) but possibly offending. Especially when the person involved cannot object.
GPL is democracy but BSD is anarchy. Democracy guarantees freedom forcefully (laws, police), while anarchy leaves the preservation of freedom to the personal consciousness of every single individual.
I am an anarchist but I've chosen the GPL for my personal projects. Unfortunately, people are not ready for anarchy (as they weren't ready for communism).
And finally, communism is not bad by itself - its "implementation" was.

... the internets.
Oh, did EU already split off?
I mostly expected you to show a Trabant.
Yeah, but the evolution of planes is... intelligent design :-)
A cigarette.
Who are these motherfuckers who began using IE in the first place? :-)

Richard Stallman has been right all these years!
What the heck is going on in that company? Have they totally lost it?
They've never had it.
What about the "freedom" argument?
And even more - it's a fix! :-)
Virtual memory support has been added to x86 with the release of the 80386 processors
:-)
Nope, that was the 80286.

The licence fee doesn't scale up with the number of installations.

... most Microsoft employees run Linux at home and discuss Apache configuration problems at the coffee corners using a special code language :-)
Brazil plans to switch 300,000 machines over. :-)
Should Stevie B. consider this as an invitation?
Let's see if the Linux community can match his generosity.
We have already given much more. And it's not just a Linux community, you know.

City 17 looks and feels like a real place.
Yes, because some of the backgrounds are really from a real place. It's Sofia, my home city (and Valve's art director's birthplace, too).

Any Christians (or other faiths, for that matter) should say a quick prayer for everyone involved.
What if Hans Bakker wouldn't like someone praying for him? Did you asked him?
Exactly. Instead of an aging hippie.

ProFTPD has been recently excluded from the official Slackware (i.e. sent to /pasture).
if you don't care enough to vote, then you shouldn't be complaining about the result.
Oh, really? But what if I care enough not to vote?
