So that's why Fords are so crappy... Reminds me of the '93 Taurus I have. Apparently, Ford was so pessimistic about how long the car would last that they didn't even bother putting a 100,000s digit on the odometer, so when the car has 130,000 miles, the odometer reads 30,000 miles.
there is no economic damage being done in this case.
They're charging $50 or so for something they ripped off. They may not be causing economic damage to PearPC, but they're making money off of copyright infringement (assuming anyone was actually dumb enough to buy CherryOS.) Usually, when someone makes money off of copyright infringement, it is considered a more serious offense (That's not to excuse copyright infringement that doesn't make any money, it's just that when there are commercial gains made from the infringement it is considered more serious.)
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're not trolling (which you probably are). I admit that when I posted that comment, I was in fact running Mandrake Linux, and not FreeBSD. However, I have several operating systems on my computer, one of them being FreeBSD. So I do in fact run FreeBSD, though not full-time.
When I first read the headline, I thought it meant Bush and Kerry had been arrested... my respone to that would have been, about damn time they were arrested!
The 50,000 troops sitting on the Korean DMZ are there to die and buy us time in the event the North decides to move in. Lets say we know N. Korea is about to launch a nuke at S. Korea with a full scale attack.
Do we wait on the "Global Test" or do we turn them in to glass?
Bad analogy. In that case, there would actually be a direct threat to Americans and to stability in the region, and the U.S. would be justified in taking action. However, in the case of Iraq, unless you can prove that Saddam Hussein had a short-term plan to attack Kuwait with biochemical weapons at the time the U.S. invaded, then the analogy simply doesn't hold up.
The problem with that is that if you are going to use the hydrogen for fuel cells and get it from water, then you'll end up with less energy than you started out with: the amount of energy put into the electolyzing the water would be equal to the amount of energy outputted by the chemical reaction in the fuel cell, and since neither reaction will be 100% efficient, you will have less energy at the end than you started out with.

While the relevance is good, I'm guessing they don't sell many locks on that page.
On the contrary, they probably sell lots of locks to people practicing their lock-picking.
I still use floppy disks. I have a USB drive, but for some reason the college's crappy computers lock up whenever anyone plugs in a USB drive. So floppies were the next-best solution (although I had to dig a floppy drive out of one of my older computers to put in my new computer, so that I could use floppy disks on it).
The U.S. in the early 1800s was an undeveloped, unindustrialized country without any major influence in the world, unlike, for example, England, which at the time had significant industrial development and major influence. Although the early 1800s was long before the "first world/third world" distinction emerged, had it existed then, then the U.S. would have been a third-world country.

Why go through all that when a simple rock will do?

Then use Program Manager for your shell, and find some other program for viewing files ;). And yes, Program Manager does still exist in WinXP.

The good news is, thanks to my bad memory, by the time he loses, I'll have forgotten this article and how he was going to lose, and I'll be surprised.

Third World == undeveloped.
