Dropline Gnome will still be around though. Dropline Gnome is specifically meant for Slackware and I prefer it over the Slackware default gnome anyways. I guess it is better this way, forcing the user to download dropline gnome rather than allowing them to use a retarded gnome.
I disagree. I have mentioned Mozilla to many people. Many had heard of it and a few thought that it vaguely had something to do with Netscape.
Firefox was rated the browser of the year by many companies and many teens have heard of it because of that. Most people that have a teen have probably heard of Mozilla also.
Looks like Syllable's site has been slashdotted. What a shame.
As to the complexity of Linux issue. It appears to me that Syllable is a Linux based system using Gnome and it looks similar to Fedora in some ways. So I ask you, how can a Linux system be less complex than Linux?
This is even better than news of Linux switchers! Hopefully this will allow webmasters to use CSS the way it was meant to be used.
Suggestion to MS: start over with IE and base it on a Gecko-based rendering system and don't put so many damn holes in it.

For some reason the poem didn't show correctly with the Russian font. An image of it is available here:

The only piece of spam I got today (oddly enough I only got 1) was a message in Russian. I can't read/speak/write/understand Russian so I am assumming my poem came out very funny. Anyone like to translate it for me? They seem to be complete clauses but I have no way of really telling.

This will be a great thing for Sun and the open-source community, but only as long as the source is licensed under a non-restricting license. I don't think that is going to happen though. If it happen, all I can say is "rejoice!":)
Fancy features are fine for people with a few gigahertz and plenty of RAM to spare. The default "look & feel" of a system should not be fancy; it should be as simple as possible. A user should be able to turn on all of these fancy features but they should be turned off by default. In my experience the average user doesn't care too much whether or not their task bar is blue or their boot screen has a pretty GUI; they just want good performance.
Microsoft is only doing this because if they didn't all the pirates would probably switch either: 1. Find a way around it 2. switch to Linux
Pirates have the correct personality to be switching to Linux and Microsoft realizes that even though they are not buying their operating system they are still stuck with Microsoft while using it and they may buy other Microsoft products
I would have thought that they would have renamed it to fit in with Firefox. Thunderfox isn't that bad a name, is it?
Actually that may confuse people. Firebird and Thunderbird already had names that were too similar. Many people I know would catch themselves saying Thunderbird when they meant Firebird and visa versa.
"These days, linux can do all of the things that Joe needs, but Joe still needs local support."
I agree that many people feel the need for a local guru. A guru does not necessarily have to be local though. Websites like this allow Linux users to find thousands of others like them and many more that have more technical knowledge than themselves.
If Google is doing this to avoid fragmentation then this will speed up their service and is a great idea. However, I think there is a better way to keep their drives defragmented and still retain a level of data security on the user's end.
When the user requests for a message to be deleted Google should promise to overwrite that message or zero out the portion of data that the message takes up within a day or a week. This would give the user reassurance of data security while keeping Google's drives perfectly defragmented all the time.

I've never capitalized 'internet' but my word processors always want me to. Hopefully this is changed soon also.
Coroprations influence the creation of laws yet break laws even more; yet somehow they are still favored by US judges and markets
Excuse my mistake. The icons do make it look like a Fedora-style Gnome copy-cat though.
Same thing here. I got about five pages deep and then it happened again. I guess I'll have to wait till the slashdotting effect dies down

If its not much extra to have embeded into a router, I would get it in a second.

KDE uses double click. Hopefully Bill won't notice.
I guess all those great software reviews are gone forever. I hope they will put the Dark Tips archive back up.

I would buy the whole set if they made it into a movie. They should get a director who knows what he's doing though like the LOTR director.
According to netcraft SCO's server is linux-based. SCO should sue themselves. Now that would be a test against our legal system.
