Hee - you've obviously not seen much British TV.
The last time I saw an American watching some late night C4 television (back in the days of TV Offal), they were absolutely astounded by what British TV got away with.
It's also worth noting that Ozzie is more the rule than the exception - Brit's tend to swear a lot. The intent is important - c**t, b*****d, etc. can be rude, but are often expressions of affection, too. Context is the key.
The problem with a motherboard BIOS is that it's tailored to the motherboard. Could the open source fratenity actually produce a workable product across a large number of motherboards? Would they produce something that works properly on all of them, instead of having modules that have been got to a state where they're good enough for the hacker creating them, but not Joe average on the street.
To be honest, if it's just a BIOS clone, I won't be interested anyway - wake me up when someone recreates OpenFirmware for the PC.
Nonsense, otherwise flying saucers wouldn't be able to fly!
Of course, they need to violate other laws, which is why they have the spaghetti sauce nozzles and crisp white shirts gaffer taped round the edge.
Why is it always the aliens that are the bad guys?
Why couldn't it be that we've not been visited by aliens because they're absolutely terrified of us and what we could do to them?
Which is of course why HDTV set-top boxes, etc. scale the image down to SD resolutions on their analogue outputs, only giving the full quality pictures on their authenticated, encrypted, digital outputs.
I heard something about management meddling with JMS's vision for Crusade to the point where one of the episodes near the end is a very thinly veiled reference to his dissatisfaction with the situation.
As we don't exactly have such machines sitting around, we have to rely on non-polynomial solutions.
Unless you're lucky enough to have a quantum computer somewhere, anyway:)

Yes, it turned me from a moping little \m/ Metal Kiddy \m/, into a vibrant, social Cyber. I discovered a whole new world of music.
Presumably that'll be in the same issue where the run the pictures of the men wearing tiedye mini-skirts and extra wide kipper ties?
IIRC, honey is twice as sweet per calorie as sugar, and definitely works with vanilla in fresh live yoghurt.
But Lunix is "Little Unix" for 8-bit machines!
...because *no one* would rip off the Mac Mini design without Intel's say so. *sigh* Why do these big corporates think of themselves so highly?

Because what the world really needs is yet another incompatible standard! :)
And lost it again putting drugs up his nose? :)
True, but look at how many of them are unsupported or partially supported to the point where Joe Average can use them.
Also, when a driver is unsuitable, the worst case scenario is you have to take a hard drive out and put it in another machine to fix the problem.
A BIOS? Since to be truly free you'd have to take off the manufacturers recovery code, you'd better hope you have a suitable EPROM programmer to hand!

/me looks at www.hyperreal.org Hmm, so Apache was created by drugged up ravers? Well, that explains a lot... ;)
I also rate Adams above Pratchett, but that the comparison is somewhat like comparing diamonds and rubies.
I'd hazard a guess at it being due to you being American, and Terry Pratchett and his humour being British.

Put a Kefir grain into orbit round Mars - it'd be a veritable Deathstar of micro-organisms!

Exactly - here in the UK, and I'm led to believe, most of the rest of the world, if someone calls me on my mobile, they get charged for it, I don't.
Except, of course, the arguably greatest ice cream to ever exist - Cornish.

An unidentified frequency has been existing in the system for some time...
It's not flamebait - it's a complaint at being talked down to as though I'm a manager^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hidiot.
Believe it or not, I come here to be informed, not given an ego boost.
Yes, but I'm not, and I don't control anyone's salary, so why pander to me and every other Joe by saying "As you probably know..."?
I'm not a manager who's arse needs kissing - why on Earth would I know about a minor distribution such as Centos?
