Or you could just partition off all the portage-related files into their own partition. I hear that reiser3 is good for large amounts of small files (better than ext3 and others at least), so that might also be worth checking out.
Also, since you'd be using Gentoo, you might as well apply the reiser4 patches (or is there an ebuild for that? probably) and use that instead.
Another 4-5 of those "must haves" are strictly for developers (ex. FireBug/WebDev toolbar - I have those, my grandma doesn't need them). My grandmother is a web developer you insensitive clod!
Well, a counter-example to IE would be Konqueror: it's just a shell for KHTML, but it also includes tons of features that you can't exactly put in the HTML/CSS and JavaScript engines (e.g. Konqueror has a built-in AdBlock, auto-refresh, download manager (via KGet), web page translation, web page validation, user agent changer, flashblock (via plugin settings), and more). Other applications can embed KHTML (e.g. Akregator does this for viewing webpages from RSS feeds, or KMail in order to view HTML emails).
You could also say that Firefox is just a shell for Gecko (including its XUL, XBL, etc. parsing and renderring), and most of that is written using XUL, XBL, and JavaScript (Gecko is in C++ and allows for COM-like functionality via XPCOM).
SF only provided free platforms to compile on anyhow, so you're okay. You can even test more than they offered: get CentOS (free RHEL), Ubuntu, Slackware, Gentoo, Solaris, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD to test across a variety of platforms.
Also, QEMU is able to emulate other CPU architectures, so you can test those out as well.
Apple doesn't sell "anti-consumer" (well, uh, you know what I mean) or "enterprise" computers, so why do you need to include such a marketdroid MBA word to describe it? Macs have never really been designed to be your typical boring "enterprise" desktop or notebook, so it's completely redundant to say it.
So, are you two married? You seem to be arguing with every damn post twitter makes, so I'm just getting this impression that you're the annoying ex or something.
Well, it works better than those damn electronic scanners. I can't begin to count how many false positives those things get; the employees of some stores just ignore the damn thing because it goes off so often.
Too bad for Novell that all the GNU software (which you can't have a working Linux system without, and that includes BSD since they use GCC and some other GNU software) will be GPLv3 or later, so they'll have to maintain their own fork that only SUSE users will care about. OpenSUSE probably won't have the same problem, but SLED and SLES probably will.
Linux is easy to download, and easy to install as long as you understand how to burn a disk from an ISO and install an operating system. Or you could, you know, buy a CD/DVD with a Linux distro on it, or you could get one for free at Ubuntu ShipIt. Installing it is as simple as putting the CD in your disc drive, rebooting, [double-]clicking the "Install" icon on the desktop, and following the very easy install process.
Do you know how to partition hard drives? Do you know how much swap space you need? Every newbie-friendly distro auto-partitions your disks by default. Some of them even have an option to resize your current partitions so you don't lose any of your data.
Could your grandmother get 3d acceleration working with Xorg? Since my grandmother is a heavy gamer who must have full 3d acceleration, I'm pretty sure she can read the short guide on how to do it (spoiler: install nvidia-glx).
I think it's time you got with the times; it ain't 1997 anymore; it's 2007.
The DMCA was passed nearly unanimously. Even if Clinton vetoed the DMCA, Congress would just take their bribes and vote for it again, thus overriding the President's veto.
* It stores its files in a subdirectory called ".evolution" of your user profile directory, not your application data or local settings directory. If you're using roaming profiles, this just plain won't work. Your point? That's how settings are saved in every other operating system. Although, it could probably do better and mark the.evolution/ directory as hidden since Windows doesn't respect the.hidden syntax.
I'm pretty sure only the last part of the number (225344 for example) is the important part, and the date is just an added bit that doesn't have to be unique.

Yeah, it's too bad we didn't already pay the ISPs to roll out fibre connections across the US already...

No, he's much funnier. He appears on the Daily Show every so often.
Or, more importantly, that torque = r x F
So, uh, what's wrong with Smart Cards then? NIH syndrome?
Sell it to CEOs of course! Oh, and the **AA lawyers.
He could care less...
Seems like everyone but Microsoft were on the ball in that regards. Ever heard of the timezone files?
No, he means like services you can use via phones like Google Mobile, those joke things, ringtones, etc.
Or you could download a list of all the latest updates available for download, do the check locally, then fetch only the patches you need...
Hmm, seems logical.

You can still make an obfuscated, patent-encumbered format with XML. Just look at OOXML!
A lot of the geezers on Slashdot are from the mainframe days, and that's how it worked back then.

They could include non-free (ew) software that can play DVDs and other patented audio/video formats, so no need to follow the GPL for that.
Better yet, they could include BSD-licensed software for that since it doesn't disallow patents.
There was a Republican majority at the time, but yes, there were very many Democrats who were also ignorant shitheads or just plain corrupt.
