And now remembering to add relevance to this post, my point: I am waiting patiently and naively for FreeCNC http://freecnc.sf.net/ to have stable, fully functional multiplayer for Red Alert.
Not to mention samba sharing files and printers, or email clients interoperating with exchange, or Linux having the ability to read FAT32 and NTFS partitions.
I think "Tridge" is being scapegoated because Larry McVoy is Linus' buddy, so he doesn't want to lay the blame on him.
Be careful when opening HDDs, though; they contain sharp edges on the casing, since they're precision made to be airtight. I have a cool scar where I nearly cut my fucking knuckle off on a harddrive casing.
Does anyone else remember that he supported voting for the UKIP purely on the basis that getting the UK out of europe would get us away from European software patents? What an asshat.
I think people need to believe that there are people who can achieve things without the rest of society; to reassure themselves that they could go it alone if they wanted to. People don't like to feel as if they depend on others.
This makes me want to throw up. I just can't stand KDE's UI, or Qt for that matter. To put it simply: KDE is fugly. GNOME is (in comparison to KDE) slick and poetically designed.
Of course, XFCE kicks the pants off both of them, but that's another argument.

C'mon, flying cars? What real improvement to human civilisation does that give?
SUSTAINABLE FUCKING FUSION is the holy grail of modern technology, and damn right I'll drink to that dream.
Mostly, I find that myself and the people I know use imperial for measurements that they can relate to on an intuitive level, and metric for measurements they can relate to on an intellectual level. So it's miles, stones, feet for distance, personal weight and height. An exception, I guess, would be that _no-one_ uses fahrenheit.
It really depends what you're after. It's a tradeoff between performance+upgradeability and assurance of stability. ATA is more mature (though SATA is still very good), but if you are willing to take the tiny risk, your client will be glad you chose SATA when he starts putting some load on the server.
It's all in interpretation. It was designed for business and it shipped first; therefore it was the first business computer. LEO was the first computer owned and used by a business; therefore it was the first business computer.
It's a very canny move. By giving these away free but charging for the product they are coming with, they will draw people that would otherwise have bought CDs from their competitors thereby decreasing the revenue of the competitors while increasing their own revenue.
what it doesn't mention in the summary at least is that BT are also moving to fiber in their new developments, especially in areas like around london; while the move from POTS won't directly affect users, the move to fiber will make the intarweb a whole fuckload faster for those who are lucky enough to get it.
unfortunately they will not be moving already laid lines to fiber for any time in the forseeable future.
I sometimes wonder who is having one over on who. Is it microsoft laughing all the way to the bank when they realise they can pay a few dollars to cash-needy open source related websites to bend over and voluntarily ram a large microsoft ad up their anus, or is it the cash-needy open source related websites laughing all the way to the bank when they realise microsoft will actually pay them to run ads that their audience will obtain valuable comedy gold (tm) from as uninventive flash animations repeatedly proclaim that windows is cheaper than linux, forgetting to mention the part kazaa has to play in this?
How will this affect rhythmbox? For those who don't know, it's a free iTunes-alike for GNOME. I like it since mp3blaster is buggy without anyone trying to fix the bugs, xmms seems to have stopped innovating and everything else...well, sucks:)

Red Alert. The original.
Tesla? Fuck yeah.

In that case they are precision made to be airtight apart from the little holes.

I think it was humour :)

The open dialog is still that horrible atrocity. I'd really, really be glad if they reverted to the 1.4 open dialog. I hate KDE.

Is running them in WINE. Especially since it's not a virtual machine, and the virus might detect WINE then trash your lunix ;)
Does anyone know where I can find an open mail relay for legitimate purposes? For some reason, all the public open mail relays seem to be scarce now :(

In fact, LEO was 'delivered' in november 1951. The first UNIVAC was delivered in march.

"...and what are you researching now, Professor Dexter?"

Well..I doubt the patent is intented to protect the (ugly, IMO) widget theme, but rather the layout of the widgets. :)
XMMS has always been a winamp lookalike, not a winamp clone :)
