Microsoft wants to sell the software, not the hardware, so they prefer to promote better compatibility and portability so that they can provide the software for you to manage it all. As long as that also allows us to use open source software to manage it all, I'm all for supporting Gates in this matter.
First you'd have to get into the habit of solving them. I have no problem remembering math concepts, but then again, math is quite pertinent to my life in the first place.
If they can't even prevent their site from being slashdotted, I sincerely doubt they can handle the acre-sized server farm that ICANN uses for, oh, about a billion connections?
Well, yeah, it's a stupid idea because these days, people want to do live video conferencing via H.232 or whatever it is, watch HDTV, stream audio/video from their computers, etc., all of which are high bandwidth activities, and Joe Homeuser can't do that with a puny 384 kbps upload speed compared to his 4000+ kbps download speed. Plus, people like me who want to run a server have to deal with the easily-capped bottleneck of an artificially low upload bandwidth. There's no way in hell I'm going to pay Comcast $100 a month so that I can get 6+ Mbps download with, oh, maybe 768 kbps or so upload. Even a single OC-1 line has far more bandwidth than that puny-ass number.
I'd probably give it the "Best Concept Usage of DRM Award", but I prefer it when publishers or artists distribute their music online in a lossless format like FLAC, or at least in a high quality Vorbis or MP3.
Right. Just hitting Esc if you're not in Normal mode followed by ZZ to save/quit is quite the useful sort of thing you'd expect from vim (or equivalent in emacs).
The truth is out there...running on an ext2 file system.
I use Resier 3.6 you insensitive clod! (IBHR)
On a side note, I really don't see how indie game developers seem to develop exclusively for Windows considering that all decent C/C++ compilers cost money for Windows (Cygwin doesn't count as it's basically GCC/G++/etc., basically allowing for cross-platform content anyhow). You'd think that indies would use Linux and GNU tools due to their dual freeness and the other large repository of copyleft materials available to them.
Exactly how I feel. Damn usage of words that mean something completely different than what was intended. Besides, have you ever seen Windows run natively on a platform other than x86?
If Uplink has/had a shareware download on download.com sometime in the past few years, I do believe that I also bought the game. Quite fun, and pretty funny as well if you know why some of the "hacker lingo" used is complete bullshit.
If you would have read the GPL, you would see that by using any software licensed by the GPL, you hereby give up your future sex life in exchange for Free software. Sorry pal.
The iRiver H300 series has been able to do this for how long? I'd have to say between 1.5 and 2 years. Yes, the support is pretty minimal as they have to be re-encoded in a smaller resolution and in some sort of MPEG standard format, but nonetheless, iRiver has been way ahead of Apple when it comes to all around media jukeboxes. They also have a bulkier version that holds 40 GB and 60 GB that can natively (that is, using the firmware that comes with it rather than the European or Japanese/Korean versions) play movies as well, and at the cost of or less than that of the Photo iPod. Personally, I never really found it to be useful to be able to watch TV shows, movies, and/or porn on a small screen (even using the ginormous PSP and its 2-3 hour battery) no matter how portable.
With the advent of all this newer and better HD technology (at least the ones that aren't crippled with DRM), I really fail to see the reason to want to downgrade to a lowres, limited battery, low power sound version of something that could be played on a 60" HD display with 6.1 surround sound ~600 watt speakers, all fibrely connected. Couple that with networking, MythTV to record broadcasted crap, and massive amounts of disk space, and I think you'd laugh your ass off at the thought of using something so primitive as a Video iPod or multimedia jukebox like the iRiver.
Who says the barber has to shave? Maybe he likes having a beard, or maybe he has some sort of disorder, or maybe he's prepubescent, or maybe there's multiple barbers.
Slashdot Mirror
In that case, what would that make the alpha and beta builds of Vista, IE7, etc., all be considered?

Although there is some FUD about PDO with some developers already, but I for one welcome our new data object overlords.
Those who understand binary, those who don't, and those who think only in binary when "11" could be in base-1 using the symbol "1" as the counter.
So you're asking for methane in return? *farts in your general direction*

Yeah; the problem was that he was hosting a live mirror of Slashdot on his computer at the time...

You've obviously never made a shitball. (Conker's Bad Fur Day)
And since we can now patent thing like that, I'm going to patent 'fucking', and become the richest person on the planet.
Well, I don't know if you'd become rich at all from that patent. In fact, you'd probably owe money for the patent lawyers.
Oh wait, do you mean fucking in general, or Slashdot fucking?

Seriously? Sign up for all the Debian mailing lists; you'd fill a Gmail inbox within days, no sweat.
:w
Wow, ain't that hard?
Type "ZZ" to save and quit. Those are indeed capitalised, and Shift is right next to Z.
I thought less was made in an effort to emulate vim in a sense as well. At least, that's what its manpage says.
