Cars are still pretty wicked cool. Not saying that planes aren't as cool - but a 1700'der would be impressed with my humble Echo - let alone my neighbor's RV.

Ok, I'll bite.
Capitalism isn't 'evil' - it simply puts money above everything: that means that it can, and will, step upon those who get in it's way.
That's why we have laws - to even the playing ground. Like your clean air? It wasn't capitalism that made it clean - it was the people standing up and saying 'we want clean air.'
And that's really not capitalism - but it was the right thing to do.
I know you want to make a point about how morally bankrupt 'Environmentalists' are, or something like that. The point is - if it wasn't for a basic grass roots movement to clean things up, it wouldn't have happened.
Of course, that will open a market, and capitalists will move in and make a profit. A free market doesn't care what it crushes - that's why we have laws.
I wanted to buy some socialist magazines at Borders. 'Cept, I was going to use a credit card. Before checking out, my wife made me put them back - said that I should only pay cash for them.
Glad I listened to her. Scary though - she's more paranoid than I am.

RED FLAG DELIVERS COMMERCIAL LINUX WITH INTEL COMPILER
Intel Corporation and Red Flag Software Co., Ltd, announced that Red Flag is the first company to use the Intel C++ Compiler 8.0 for Linux to compile a commercial version of its Linux operating system. Red Flag used Intel's tools to optimize its Red Flag Server 4.1 series products. Red Flag will include 60- day evaluation copies of the Intel Compiler in its distribution to enable customers to use the tool to optimize their own applications.
Software developers, including such operating system vendors as Red Flag, use compilers to translate a programming language into the machine language understood by the processor. A more efficient compiler results in better application performance. Intel's compilers are designed to help software developers deliver improved performance for their applications running on Intel architecture-based computing and communications systems.
Intel's compiler offering includes Intel C++ and Fortran Compilers for Windows and Linux as well as Intel C++ Compilers for Windows CE.NET. The compilers are designed for systems based on the following Intel processors: Intel Itanium 2, Intel Xeon, Intel Pentium 4, Intel Personal Internet Client Architecture for mobile phones and PDAs and the Intel Pentium M (a component of Intel Centrino mobile technology). Intel also offers several other software tools that help developers take best advantage of Intel architecture platforms.

That may be true, but:

2) not many horses have climate control
3) My Tomtom just won't plug into a horse

I grow my own SUVs you insensitive clod!
Sounds like your first sky diving trip didn't turn out well.
And, yes, I think I'm funny. Waka Waka Waka

Come on! Don't be a tease, where's the "profane picture of the Hindu saint Shivaji?"
I could Google it, but, well, I'm afeared.
The alternative would be to simply detonate them. Besides being illegal, it's a bit messy.
I'd rather see the physics done in silicon.
Looks like Iron Man's greatest foe has been apathy. I mean - they're really chumming to come up with such a lame super villain.
Yeah, Stallman seems to be a bit nutty, but I really don't see him as a super villain.
Looks like it's time for Iron Man to take a bow and head off into the sunset.
Linux is for business, windows is for playing games. Why doesn't Linux's marketing department cash in on that?
Oh... wait...
With topics like this, will Slashdot become Slashdotted?
:-D)
Passions, and not intellect, will run high, and we will get mucho-useless posts. (not unlike this one
Not a problem for me!
My commute is about 10 minutes by Toyota Echo. Max speed is 45mph.
Why not bike, you might ask? No bike paths, for one, and it's COLD outside.

Somebody just made it to Santa's naughty list.
If you're lighting your cigars with hundreds, then you already own the government. So, hey, no worries.

Kind of what it is, though. Where would Linux be without GCC?
Hmmm, has anyone compiled Linux without GCC?
Well, to use a a nuclear reactor, you would need a a nuclear reactor - and I'm pretty sure they don't have a man portable unit.
Nice thing about the space mirrors, is that they're a heck of a lot lighter, and you don't have to mess around with any of the waste.
Oh yeah?
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these!
Hey - it had to be said.
