I've practically rid myself of using IE (but I must dread the fact that I am REQUIRED to use it at school), but my father and mother rely on it. I don't see how that is possible, especially when they do not know the risks of using it to begin with. Also, I dislike Microsoft's business tactics... but I'll save that for another rant.
Also, I've been using alternatives to *aheminsecureahem* programs since December of 2003... and I've been proud of teh move. Also, I hope by the end of my 9th grade school year, my school will have realized the threats of MSIE and will have switched to an alternative.
Instead of Mario and Clippy... how about a clippy borg?
Clippy: I am j00r master
Kid with clippy borg: Huh?
clippy: You have no chance to survive make your time.
Kid: MOMMY!!! THE CLIPPY BORG IS LAME!!! I WANT A FRIGGIN GAMECUBE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!! WAAAAH!
Burgers, hot dogs, and veggie burgers, and other picnic foods will be served free of charge until 3:30 PM for all those who RSVP
Actually, you have to RSVP to get it for free.. also...
Beer and wine are BYO ("bring your own", not provided). Baylands Park rules say beer and wine are only allowed in the picnic areas as part of a meal. Other alcoholic beverages are not allowed.
That'll probably dissappoint a few people.

Bash 3.0 Released

· Score: -1, Flamebait
How about the ability to Bash Micro$oft? Of course, this could always be implemented when version 6.66 comes out.
That's what the government wants you to think. It's actually a diguise for the Death Star, which fired it's lasers on the site that hosted the images of it's dish... 'nuff said.
the innate nature of teenagers to all be different in roughly the same way:)
I kinda fall into that category, considering I'm a teenager and such. O_o
Now, Your teachers depending on their level of expertise will probably either ask you to remove that theme or actually wonder what the heck is going on
The teachers at the high school I'm going to next year are probably blind to alternatives (thanks to the evil empire. -_-) But I'll probably show Knoppix to the sysadmin over there (if I can gather the guts to do that.:-\)
Secondly, you could get the teachers more or less on your side. As long as you get your work done, they shouldn't have much of a problem. The more converts you get, the more points you score:)
My score would be somewhere around -10.:P
of course, there are Linux users in Louisiana, they are just rare (and yes, despite being a teenager, I HATE MICROSOFT!). So.... I should start spreading the word about Linux.:D
Finally you could achieve total victory against the software monopolist throughout the galaxy (or at least your classroom). This is when every student carries around his/her own Knoppix CD or you get a Linux-based installation on a few computers. This is a tough one, but you can always shoot for it.
It'll take a few years, but it'll be worth it in the long run if the school district in my area converts every system to Linux (even better if the locals started using it, or even better(er) if a user group was started out of all of this.)
Nah, it definitely has to be public school facilites, as most of them run Winblows boxes... it sickens me to see that. Especially with labs of about 30 Winblows boxes, plus at least 1 Windoze box in every classroom, those numbers add up.
Opera has identity spoofing, meaning I can use Opera and make the site think I'm using MSIE 6.0. But here's something odd about Oddpost, even with Opera's ident spoofing, it still doesn't work. Also, I do not plan on registering there, I was just wondering weather or not it would work with Opera's ident set to MSIE 6.0

Actually, if they're serious about computing, and want a career in them, start them off with one of the many free Unixes (Linux/BSD/etc).
;-)
Besides, they'd be learning a lot more than just pointing and clicking.
The montior happens to be called Torsmo and it paints itself to the root window of X11, which is nice and nifty ( you can get it to ... blend in.)

Yeah, I'm still waiting for a LUG (Linux User Group) to start up in my area. =P
Yeah, but don't eat the yellow space-snow.
That is mainly why spyware is on that list, and its there because they share some similarities with viruses.
All your smell are belong to us. ... ha ha ha.
You have no chance to deoderize
can it stand up to the armies of Sauron?
You have no idea...

Why not just make a tinfoil planet and send it to saturn, it'd be just as geeky/nerdy/insert something here, etc.
Even though there are a dozen or so music stores around, most of them don't use a portable MP3 player (such as Napster, etc).
And yes, you are right about Apple not having a monopoly, that title belongs to Microsoft.
Funny, I misread his name as "Bob Sputnik".

Give me a clock so that I can time it, I don't want to waste a single second of my idleness on IRC.
