True. But it's not too small to be a convoluted "rm -rf ~". Backups are nice, but restoring is still a hassle. And since I don't know C (and my C++ is rusty), I'm not going to bother slogging through it.
Besides, look at the fun y'all had pouring through it. I got more of a thread out of that (offtopic) post than all of my other comments but one.
RTFA. They recommended that MS make their formats open by submitting them to standards bodies; stop using non-XML formats (only some stuff is currently XML); and (I think) read OO.o files. So they didn't twist MS's arm, but they did encourage the release of those formats.
I spend the majority of my "working time" on the computer word processing, and I actually prefer OO.o. Particularly because of it's UI (for example, double-space is two clicks, not six). And I can create my own outline, thank you very much. Better that way, too, since it gets you to think about what you've written rather than just pressing a button.
Excellent back when people weren't educated even to a high school level, there was no good source of info on current events and political information (newspapers, CNN/Fox (see? bipartisan!), internet, etc), and there was a much bigger gap between wealthy/poor and urban/rural interests.
Now, while people are still largely idiots, there are wealth gaps, etc., the situation is quite different.
And if he wins both votes in November, I'll complain about how he lied to the American people about WMD (much bigger than Lewinsky) yet wasn't impeached, and then used people's fear of WMD/OBL to win the vote.
I spoke too soon... I think I found the comment (journal, actually) you were talking about. And I'm using SessionSaver <shudder>.
Thank goodness it's possible to start firefox with a URL, then keep SessionSaver from loading next time FF starts using key commands. I only wish there were some way to prevent anything with a certain regex (say, *lawyer*) in the title from loading immediately, allowing you to look at the titlebar first. Although I suppose there would be workarounds for that.
Troll. While what you say he's doing may be true, I doubt it. Trademark law is different from copyright law; if it's diluted, or you selectively enforce it, you can't sue anymore. He (or his lawyers) know that.
Sorta. * does SIP and other standard VoIP protocols, but Skype uses a proprietary format. But, it is possible to have Skype bridge to a POTS #, which * can then call.
Plead guilty to two crimes (kidnapping and assault? assault and carjacking? not sure), but then pled not guilty to the murder of the driver. That's what he got the death penalty for.
Not really. Do it like in chess - have two windows open; one is the game you're playing online; one is Chess/Poker/Whatever-Master. Copy your opponents' moves from one window to the other, and then ask for advice. (You could just play against ChessMaster and do what it does, but in Poker, since there's more than one opponent, you'd need something a bit more sophisticated).
He'd recognize 'old' Anakin, the guy who repented on his deathbed as Luke pulled off his mask. And just in case you don't remember, one of the "approved" Star Wars novels states that Luke and Leia were spirited away before Anakin/Vader saw them.
If self-made ballots were better than the Australian ballot, who gives a crap if the third-pary/Independent candidates are on the ballot or not? What's wrong with write-in?

it's a little small to be a root kit

99.9% of .movs are Sorenson. Ergo, since people call .movs QuickTime, the GP is correct.

Experiential, as in "hands on", not experimental.
You mean like Centrino? Which the summary says they're sticking with (it's been out a while).
Maybe Slashdot could start a hardware review section and do some unbiased hard journalism!
... you're new here, aren't you?
Dear $DEITY
Depends on how much you spend, and whether you're doing text or games, right?
What does your sig do? No way in hell I'm gonna compile it without knowing, but I'm dying to know.

From the title: "Even after 9/11, It's Outrageously Easy To Sneak In". It's the latter meaning.

Y'know those [foo.com]'s you see after links in comments? Yup, that's what they're for.
Why is this a troll? I mean, it's stupid, since a Windows card can have Linux drivers written for it, but why is this a troll?

Fine, you win, 2+2=5.

Heh. I saw a TV ad saying THX-1138 was coming out on DVD - did anyone else see it?

Off topic, but I can only get 2 colleges to come up on the site listed in your sig. Is it new?
I'm serious - I really did think that was his name. Turns out it was Charles somebody, but it wasn't just an anti-French jab.

I agree, but perception is what counts in politics and this is (at least partially) a PR issue for the military now.
And if FUD fscks up the economy, or politics, or whatever, it affects me. Thus, it *is* important.
