Wanna know the good coming out of the Chinese censorship deal? The average Chinese internet user gets the full power of Google, at least for non-political searches. Although I would prefer that China had freedom of speech, pretending that letting Google get banned would somehow accomplish that is ridiculous.
"The open-source community" is not a coherent whole in any way. Andrew Tridgell was not a licensee of any BitMover software. He just happened to work in the same place as one. No licensee of BitKeeper was working on that until after it was revoked.
Status, status, m is a good one--you can get a fourth-declension word from the fourth principal part of any verb. Impetus, impetus, m is a pretty cool word too--it means "attack".
Actually, "domus" is female. Were virus a fourth-declension neuter, it'd be viru, without the s, just like cornu. Virus is a second-declension neuter ending in -us. That makes it really weird, as only a few other nouns decline like it, and none of them have plurals. So viruses.
A pity Flash is being used for things like "Smack the monkey" and crap like that. Maybe if it were "Smack the person making flash ads", and they got a real smack...
None that officially require XP that I know of--the old Command and Conquer(Tiberian Dawn) and Red Alert (1) won't work on 2000 or XP--they need 98 or earlier.
Hard as it is to believe, some people actually *want* Flash! For example, I watch Homestar Runner cartoons, which need Flash. (Although I'm not on OSX86.)
It doesn't matter if the talent is open with the music, it matters if the people who own the talent are. We can only hope that the Big 5 record companies go down the tubes...
Microsoft? Oh right, the only "protectionist" treatment they got was...the Sherman Anti-Trust Law not being carried out. But that doesn't count because it doesn't fit in with your utopian view of a free-market paradise.
Shouldn't "sendmail" be in the ablative? What is(or rather, would be...I don't think the Romans ran sendmail) the ablative of sendmail anyways? And actually, it would probably be better as an ablative of means(roughly "using", for those of us in the audience not speaking Latin), which would mean no preposition.
And finally, do you really think it's a good idea to use a Latin word which most English speakers, especially on Slashdot, will associate with sex? At least spell it as "cvm", this is for your own good.
No, there is no plural. And you can't interpolate vira. There are only three or so -us words that are second-declension neuters--virus, pelagus, and something else. None of them have plurals.
No, only US citizens deluded about the state of their own nation have to shut the fuck up. As it stands, this is my first post on the topic however, since it's the first time I have anything worthwile to say on the topic.

Google says they're not evil(and they're not...yet...)
Who says "Don't trade in China" isn't the important thing. The important thing is the end result--no, or very limited, trading in China.
And something has to be pronounced sarcastically to be sarcastic? That would make written comments impossible to be sarcastic. This doesn't say anything about tone of voice.

That's because domus is a weird word. There are really two forms of domus: domus, domi, f and domus, domus, f. Both are seen.
Status, status, m is a good one--you can get a fourth-declension word from the fourth principal part of any verb. Impetus, impetus, m is a pretty cool word too--it means "attack".

Java programmers do: COBOL programmers.

Don't forget that you, not the people sending the mail, have to pay for this. You were saying, dada?

No, but you can have a Red Hat with a button on it.
Neither do any else of dada21's posts

I don't think geekiness can make modems explode.
But they can make...oh crap, what's burning?
