My python install is 100M, but I still like python. Hey, TeX/LaTeX is 380M on my system, and emacs is 60M. Big perhaps, but as another respondent pointed out, it's not bloat if it's powerful.
I've only had to boot my desktop machine once in the past six months (power cutoff). Not much of a problem.
3. Stop pretending to be graphical designers and get help from someone who really knows how to do it. Both KDE and Gnome look like crap out of the box and most themes are not much better.
I would say that neither looks any worse than default Windows XP.
Windows has numbers on its side and OS X has religious following,
OS X has religious following? What do you call the Church of GNU emacs?
Slashdotters might complain less about H-1B visas if they were distributed more evenly across occupations, or if Congress would accept testimony from IT professionals, or if other countries admitted US IT professionals on a similar basis.
That isn't what you said, at least not in the post to which I replied. And whatever the morality of such laws, as long as they are laws, the government has some interest in enforcing them.
Ah, the voice of the Bush administration in its attempts to evade the Geneva Convention. But as the previous respondent noted, Gitmo is part of the US.
As I can do my own repairs, it doesn't cost much. And what evidence do you have that Linux is costly to support? At least the OS isn't deliberately obfuscated.
PS. If you are gay, do not try to popularize the idea of enjoying putting a sexual organ in the places tighter than the place it belongs naturally and thus getting more kick out of it. Be in your closet and your punishment will be postponed till the Judgment Day. Fair enough?
No. First, do all male homosexuals practice sodomy? Do all heterosexuals refrain from it? And will there be a Judgment Day?
Slashdot Mirror
lambda (functions) - kinda old, like 50, 60 years, if I remember well
According to this, more like 70 years

And there is no way to unset the setgid bit in Windows?
There you go, dragging facts and logic into the discussion.
Seriously, these videos might not only inform the American people, they may enrage them. Would FDR have censored reports about Pearl Harbor?
OK. GNOME looks cooler than Windows XP.
Markets are not right or wrong.
Then they cannot (GP notwithstanding) "prove" anything, either.
Anyway, calling that many people idiots is quite a stretch.
But less of a stretch than saying that Linux isn't ready for the desktop.
GNU emacs isn't an OS. Analogy fail.
It isn't? I've heard that it's only missing a decent text editor.:-)
But more seriously, you don't believe that there is a "religious" aspect to the Free Software Movement?
The market has proven them wrong for more than a decade now.
And if the market is wrong?
1. Make it BOOT FASTER.

Manager: Does your avatar make actual money?
Employee: He doesn't know how to do that.
Manager: The whole point of innovation is to make money.
What languages does VS support?
Then wouldn't the client just run his/her own database? Although the price of Oracle licenses might be a problem.

But according to compulsory attendance laws, it isn't their own free time.
Given the content of the DVD's, "Partiot" might well be more appropriate.
Your "absolute certainty" is epistemologically unjustified.
When did WINE become beta? I remember in 1999 that it was alpha.

Larry Flynt, Publisher of Hustler. Not killed but paralyzed.
I can do my own repairs, thank you very much.
So nations have the "right" to persecute their own residents? Guantanamo is within the US, is the torture of detainees there nobody else's business?
I won't say that Linux never crashes, just that it is easier to repair. Even if the average user can't repair it, someone else can.
