The Ctrl+Alt+Del comic is mostly just Mac-bashing. I think that one or two of their comics might be funny, but I'm not sure. The only webcomic I read regularly is GPF
The actual reason the tank guy isn't first is because that square was famous to Chinese way before the 1989 student protest. Hence why it was chosen for the student protest.
The tools *have* been written. Look up the Actors Model and CSP on Wikipedia and click links from there. The problem is that everybody insists on threading.
Yeah, like the Google Guys(Google uses Linux for its entire cluster, I'm pretty sure it only uses Windows for Windows development) "saw the light" and converted away from open source and provided money for open-source devs in college. Oh, wait.
STRONG BAD: The two warring factions of diskettes are floppy disks--
{He shakes the 5¼" disk, emphasizing its floppiness.}
STRONG BAD: --and hard disks.
{He lifts an unlabeled 3½" floppy disk in his right hand.}
STRONG BAD: I prefer {hides the 3½" disk} these big ones because they hold more memory, although you have to {crumples the 5¼" disk} fold them up to fit them into these new computers.
Latin is open source as well, it has many forks such as Spanish, French, and Italian, and even has parts of its code present in English. Latin included many innovative features, such as the ablative case. You could do almost *anything* with that. A pity all the modern languages find ablative "too hard for newbies" and no longer include it.
Because obviously consistency is more important than doing the right thing as much as you can, right? Right? *crickets chirping*
And "that's mean!" is a better description of what ad hominem is than the literal Latin meaning, "towards the human". Translating Latin literally is a fallacy here and is a bigger fallacy once you start dealing with infinitives and the things that are infinitives in English but not Latin--purpose clauses, for example.
The only completely consistent people I know of are Gandhi and Stalin. I must say that I prefer people like the grandparent to Stalin. And Gandhi wasn't consistent until the later years of his life, after he truly saw the poor of India.
Personally, I think the downfall of youth arrived in the form of preachers, as evidenced by the fact that the majority of those quotes are from such. Also note how many criminals blame their crimes on things like "GOD TOLD ME TO DO IT!". This makes me think that religion, and misguided religious devotion, is in fact the biggest problem with society.

If the citizens choose the government, and you cannot trust the citizens, then you cannot trust the government.
This is why we need capabilities. Very badly.

Hey! Can I put that in my sig?
My guess is that you define "*nix" as "incapable for the desktop" and ergo fall into the No True Scotsman fallacy.
McKay: If you're not going to help me, you should at least take your top off!
Carter: Your subconcious mind knows I would never be into that.
Actually, the end of a word is the place at which the long s which looks like a f was never used.
Or perhaps the sponsored links suck because nobody wants to be on MSN because nobody uses MSN because MSN sucks?
He was using it in the literal sense..he got laid.

Stop slandering...Baidupedia.
Can you use an example that's not Debian? Because Debian is far behind other community distros as well.

Downmods don't count when they counteract a Funny. And can I put "The Wii is a great system. I want to buy an Uus." in my sig?
You mean proprietary, not commercial. There are quite a few open-source products run by corporations. OpenOffice.org, for example.
May the Revolution win, in that case.
You must be new here...
