Umm... so you'll be a Christian then?
Not to piss on your bonfire or anything, but suggesting he'll go to hell kinda means you believe in hell. Correct me if I'm wrong, but hell relies on something called religion. Christianity happens to be one of these.
When you're mature enough to deal with other people's opinions, feel free to come back.

You mean unlike you sectist, overzealous assholes who wouldn't recognise a differing opinion if it came up and slapped you in the face?
That's strange. Whilst personally I'm fine with evolution, what I object to is the fact that creationism isn't even taught (at least in the UK).
Scientific theory is fine, but lets try show both sides of the argument shall we? Or is that too politically incorrect for today's world where minorities must be given extra opportunities and white christian men cannot call racist, sectist or sexist?
I'm all in favour of equality, just make sure it works both ways. I'm not seeking to disagree with your post, you make a good point, i'm just highlighting that it can't be all scientific just because a few people think they got it right;)
I agree, too many TLDs is starting to be painful. Far from expanding the namespace, it just makes it easier to block everything.tv,.us and.ro, since they're full of crap.
Bring back enforced registration rules!
No, seriously. I would be happy if.com,.net and.org were all restricted to commerical, networking and non-profit respectively (no country-specific limits on these), country TLDs were restricted to the country they're intended for.
I would be happy to use.per for a personal site if it meant that.org wasn't full of people trying to sell me domains.
Last Fleeting Thought: Also, unicode domains are a horrible idea. Much as people may love being able to use locale-specific characters in the domains it doesn't help the rest of the world who wants to keep the internet useable.
So, when Windows makes you jump through hoops to get it into an insecure state (XPSP2 - Firewall on by default. It's amazing how many people turn it off), it's bad, but for WAPs it's a Good Thing(tm)?
Nothing to manage my arse. If you work in a group environment, you will learn that people will screw things up. Firefox *needs* group control to take off in a corporate space.
I disagree. Yes most geeks are logical, but logic alone cannot help you cook spaghetti. How much salt do you add to the water? I know, but I don't know how I know.
Likewise when flavouring things I know where to stop adding the pepper, but there's no magic formula to work out how much pepper you need.
Some things just have to come from instinct.
You can live with poor food just as well as you can live with bad food. You can live with a good PC, a poor PC, or no PC.
You are one of the most Linux-centric bigots I have yet come across on/.
I have an old machine running Windows 95, which doesn't even like Windows 98. It refuses point blank to run Knoppix, Ubuntu, Linspire or even Gentoo (after many rounds of trying to install drivers).
Distributing coasterware is exactly that - you'd be giving people a CD they *do not want* which *will not run*.
I'm all in favour of getting Linux onto the desktop more, but until it meets a few criteria it's not going to.
It's got to have the 'it just works' factor of Windows. It's got to have some standards. It's got to have a community which doesn't believe it can solve every problem known to man.
I know I can make Linux run on my toaster should I wire the right components in, but that doesn't mean I can make it work properly on my iPAQ.
The smart customer goes for Half-Life 2, then looks for independant mods to get different gameplay. Somewhere like http://www.moddb.com/ (sorry for the shameless plug) will find a vast swathe of changes to popular games.
Half-Life isn't the most modded game for no reason.
Actually in the case of the patents it seems to be that the EU is marching unstoppably in the direction of "Go away and find something better to do", given the number of appeals and back doors the people wanting the legislation have had to lodge/find.
Aaaactually.... I would say that you are probably about 12 for saying "Linsux" (It's on the same intellectual level as "Micro$oft" and "Winblows") and therefore aren't mature enough to look for girls and are more likely to sit as far away from them as you can.
If you wish to contend this point, I'd be willing to fit you in my timetable (Family permitting).
At the risk of being flamed for being pro-MS here - Server 2003 is a fork of Server 2000. The XP Root (Windows 2003) is the nevt version up from Windows 2000. Which was a version up from NT4.
The 9x/me vs. NT/2000 were forks back in the dim and distant past, now everything follows one line and is quite clearly versioned.
The plan was to bring everything to one root with Windows XP (Successfully), now MS has a clear 'base' to fork off the different standards. Saying Windows XP is a fork of Windows 2000 is like saying Windows 98 was a fork of Windows 95 - it's not, it's the next release version.
Anyway.
Personally I'm all in favour of choice so long as it applies something which thus far has eluded the vast majority of OSS - standards. If you need the standard changing to add your new feature, appeal to the standards group instead of adding it with some arcane switch and including a small release note on it.

It will be the 29th anniversary of Apple's founding, or the beginning of the 30th year of existance.
Happy?

robots.txt?
Javascript allow/disallow?
Extensions?
Download locations?
about:config?

I doubt many users would know VoIP if it came up, slapped them in the face, hijacked their phone line, and cut their phone bill in half.

Esperanto (Background/Tutorials) has been doing this for a while.
Given that the punctuation is lacking somewhat, I want to know what Linux Laid Bare looks like.

Thanks for saving me the effort of typing that exact same comment.
But this *will* cause a loss of quality over just leaving it as DRM-less AAC. MP3 and AAC choose to 'drop' different frequencies as unimportant.

I sense a chicken-and-egg coming along here.
The solution is obviously starting to show here, write sites to the standard and browsers will follow.
Because people write awful code.
Damn that's cool...
