No, it's far faster than IE, and at worst the same speed as FireFox on my machine.
It's immesureably faster than firefox on my K6-II 450 - I think firefox continues to render animations or something - I heavily tab my pages - and Opera behaves quite tolerably with my 50 open tabs(!) Firefox slows to a craaawl at 10.
Yeah, those crazy lies like "bin Laden hasn't been found yet' and 'Iraq didn't have WMDs' Where do they come up with this stuff? Some of his stuff may have been inaccurate, but I don't care, an unjust war is bad enough for one prez.
Politics and funding were instrumental in the Manhatten Project, too. Does that mean Truman created the atomic bomb?
No, but he or another politician took the initiative for it, and would be correct in stating so.
If Bill Gates formed a team to create a tool from the ground up, would he be correct in saying he created the tool, despite not coding a line?Again, he would be correct in stating that he had taken the initiative to do so.
It's a semantic game, but the reality is Gore did NOT create the Internet.
I HAVE HAD GOLDFISH WITH MORE BRAINS THAN YOU. He never, ever, ever claimed to have created it. He correctly stated that he took the initiative to do so, however.

There's a good reason for this. Japanese law (Written by USA, mind you) bans "indecent content", specifying pubic hair and the sexual organs in print. Thus, literature seems pedophilic because there are no pubes, making the chicks/boys appear younger. Also, the tentacles are that way because they, uhm, are phalluses. Wikipedia would elaborate for you, I won't. (This is all from memory anyways, vague ones)
and expensive robots to keep its elderly people sane.
Fuck, at least Japan is trying to do something about it, instead of letting the people who built the country from barely anything to an economic superpower rot in some retirement home alone, like a major country with some states that are united.
That song is rediculous. When people have no hard physical labour, they will dedicate their time to thought, arts, and other intellectual occupations. Just look at the industrial revolution.
It must be that all of us who voted for Bush are short-sighted idiots.
In fact.. Um, yeah, you are all short-sighted idiots. Banning gay marriage? Banning abortion? Religious moral puritanism of a former age. War on Iraq? Reactionary sheeplike acception of government lies, with little care for the lives of other humans.
...and an aggressive offense against terrorism are good ideas!?
An aggressive offence against terrorism is a fucking moronic idea. Offense started the problem in the first case.
Uhm, he did not demo word processing for the first time. The phrase was coined by a German engineer when talking about the Magnetic Card Selectric, in 1963 or '64. Yes, his demo is known as The Mother Of All Demos, though:) He recieved an extremely deserved standing ovation.
Attacking the morality of Easterners is a despicable attempt at an argument. The reason people pirate there is because XP costs as much as a fancy car over there. You could feed a family for years for the price of an Office license.
Allright. Well the "know the inner-workings" part some Gentoo elitist troll told you is complete and utter bullshit. It forces you to know it, and if you don't already know the inner workings of Linux, then too bad for you, you'll end up copy-pasting from the install guide, and completely struck when some trivial error arises.
Debian was that bad, but it's getting better (not entirely there yet). I used RedHat to get comfy, and then switched to Debian, and I haven't strayed. Tried Gentoo for a lark on a 2.8Ghz and I hated it. Even the binary system was crud.
Anyway, good luck ahead. May the Penguin serve you well:)
Well, that's because X has a lot of interdependencies. The 16 color X server you refer to tells me that you were doing this ages ago. Now the X server is monolithic, and all the drivers are in one package. Why were you trying to remove a single very small package?
Also, apt-get tells you exactly what it's going to do before it does it, and if you didn't pay attention, then too bad for you. Most distros wouldn't handle your strange attempt gracefully, and Debian didn't either. But nowadays (all distros improve over time, and you should not harbor negative feelings for too long, things will probably have changed) that would not happen. Anyway, when X.org goes into the Unstable branch (When all work is done bugfixing for Sarge, which will become stable) it will be fairly modular, and you can (un)install such things properly.
Well, if you're going all binary by using a kludge around a source-based system, then WHY THE HELL aren't you using a system that makes an ounce of sense compared to what you're doing, like Debian or something...?
The IBM System/360 featured a system that could pinpoint an error in the circuitry down to the resolution of a single module board (Back when the CPU consisted of about 1000 boards with 100 transistors each on them) This was in the mid-60s.

You're running Woody (stable).
Sid (unstable) has several more functions including Euphoria and Confidence.
Your statement is incorrect, sir.
Allright, you caught my bluff. I've never had a goldfish.

I don't have time for a detailed reply, nor does your rant warrant one, but suffice it to say you are an idiot.
Spoken like a true neo-conservative.
NO, YOU MORON, it does NOT suffice. His long and most insightful post did.

This is the first time I've ever written this type of comment. Mod up, doubleplusinsightful.

Not true! I went outside just two-three weeks ago!

Quoting bash.org/?37584:
marek: rape is such a bad term, lets call it surprise sex!
That joke works better when you substitute aspirin with valium, like so:
:)
I was gonna kill myself with valium, but after taking two, I felt far better.
I saw the filename and thought "shell for documentation of volkswagens" :)

That's compariSON, not comparism. Just a minor nitpick.
Well, that's because X has a lot of interdependencies. The 16 color X server you refer to tells me that you were doing this ages ago. Now the X server is monolithic, and all the drivers are in one package. Why were you trying to remove a single very small package?

Jeez, the bloated Windows XP fits on one CD, and it has useless stuff like movie editors.
Does that CD also contain Office XP? How about a Web server? How about a decent movie editor? And a Photoshop replacement?

That the internet (AKA Arpanet) was built for the purpose of withstanding a nuclear blast is a myth. It was a happy coincidence.
