    No, that was the association with Samantha Carter.

    Wow, I didn't know that KDE, GNOME, and Mac OS X had desktop monopolies.

    By default, Gentoo doesn't. Optionally, you can choose to install any of them. Personally, I only have the libs installed for them, that's for certain programs.

    How many american households owned a computer before MSDOS and Windows? How many after?
    That's the fault of IBM and Compaq, not Microsoft. MS just rode in the wave, and had IBM chosen CP/M or some other system, it would still have happened.

    Viral marketing was when one out of every three /. articles was about Serenity(which is awesome, and which you should buy, by the way)

    Giving people consequences for being an asshat (i.e. being willing to call the cops) will, IMHO, do more.
    How about the special hell with the child molesters?
  8. Re:Wapo is pretty good on Washington Post Reviews its 10 Years on the Web · · Score: 1

    True, but Republicans blog too, I just don't know where because I don't pay attention to that type of stuff. I picked the Kos because I remember some reference to a local House member's blog posts there(mentioning him as one in many) in a newspaper article unrelated to blogging.

  9. Re:Wapo is pretty good on Washington Post Reviews its 10 Years on the Web · · Score: 1

    Because people in positions of power blog too. Quite a few Democratic House members blog on Daily Kos, for example. You're talking about the average blogger. The New York Times isn't competing with the average blogger, the only one competing with the average blogger is the average blogger. The NYT is competing with the likes of Paul Graham. And the likes of Paul Graham will eventually win.

  13. Re:Age limits on Gamers Don't Want Grief · · Score: 1

    I don't have much experience on age limits for anything that costs a monthly fee to play online, admittedly. Although for most sites on the web that don't cost money, adults can be just as annoying as children, and more so because they're better at it. Although I guess children are more likely to spend money just to annoy people because they don't know how to spend money yet(the adults who don't know such are less likely to have disposable income)

    Age limits are bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. They do nothing but force kids to lie about their age. Look at MySpace for an example of that.
