If Linus had actually posted on Slashdot
"I do not believe that anything can replace Microsoft in the market that MS is right now.", then he would have probably been modded as a troll by the proLinux crowd on Slashdot.
You don't have to register--just quit the app. The Command-Q combination works well.
How will someone who has never used a Mac know about this? What's happened to the supposed user friendliness of Apple? How difficult would it have been to put a Cancel Button?
Perhaps the Mac crowd will become the ultimate DRM apologists, claiming, with some credibility, that Mac couldn't survive if it didn't have TC/DRM involved.
I got a MacMini last week at work - while starting up the machine for the first time - it practically forces you to register with lots of personal details. The only way to skip registration is make sure you aren't connected to the Internet when you start up the machine (I don't know - maybe even then it stores the details & sends it in later).
Otherwise there is no way to get past the registration screen when you first start up the machine.
On "./", I have read a million posts about registration, but never one about the Mac requiring registration.

I know it was a joke - but can people recommend good comedies? Most best comedy movies contain movies which I don't truly consider comedies i.e. light movies with some comic moments are categorised as comedies by most lists i.e. for eg. Ferris Bueller's Day Off is listed as a comedy - IMHO, it isn't. It's a light movie with some comic moments. Ang Lee's Wedding Banquet is listed as a comedy, but again, I don't consider it to be a comedy.
Forget these movies, even Groundhog Day gets listed as comedy solely because of the fact that a comedian Bill Murray acted in the movie. Or "Leap of Faith" just because Steve Martin acted in the movie.
I am looking more for movies like What about Bob?, My Blue Heaven, Dinner Game etc etc which are out & out comedies?
The NYT has just cut itself off from the biggest source of international exposure it has.
I doubt if many people outside the US go to the NYT webpage or editorial.
OTOH, NYT editorials, are syndicated by many foreign newspapers & I would assume that, that is it's biggest source of International Exposure & also the International Herald Tribune.
Firefox by itself works OK for me, but when I install the SwitchProxy extension, firefox starts freezing on me. I had to finally uninstall the switchproxy extension.
The Yahoo guy's response: "Well, Oracle may scale well technologically, but it doesn't scale financially".
So what database does Yahoo use?
What about Google? What do they use?

And editors... do your job, otherwise you'll soon be replaced by monkeys trained to click the 'Accept Article' button all day.
I thought that replacement has already happened quite sometime back.

Prominent words such as FUCK and GOLF were once simple slang words (acronyms both) along with a host of other words which we take for granted today.
Urban Legend - GOLF isn't an acronym

Neither is FUCK

This was actually by M.J. Shields, not Mark Twain.

The author's either lying or a moron who's machine is borked up beyond belief.
Either that or his watch is borked up beyond belief.

How will someone who has never used a Mac know
about this? What's happened to the supposed user friendliness of Apple? How difficult would it have
been to put a Cancel Button?
Why would they? What are you going to do? "Cancel your card? YOU HAVE A BALANCE! MUAAHHAHAHHHAHA!
So if you ran a credit card company, what would
you do? Forget the balance & cancel the customer's
credit card?
Fraud you say? Yeah, right!
Which credit card company didn't take a fraud
complaint seriously?
I don't care if you have Cancer, get back to work you deadbeat."
So what are you suggesting here? Credit Cards
act as a sort of social program to help out people
who have cancer?

A lot of these visits come from Slashdot, which is
itself pretty Mac-heavy:
Actually, Slashdotters are mostly Windows users.
They just advocate Linux & Macs.

I would not want to see the normal 40something soccer MOM (or dad)!
Would you prefer to see 20 year old male soccer players on the X-Ray Machine?

If you are going to make it a dedicated machine,
does it make a difference what OS it's running?

Read this. Mikimoto changed the face of the pearl market with his technique of culturing pearls.
So potentially, the diamond market also could be changed.

I think we can get 2006 to be the year of Linux on the desktop, if we can get all governments to mandate Linux use.
Wow, this will be a great oportunity for OSS to snap up another user base.
Yup. If we can somehow get the UN to mandate that all countries should compulsarily use OSS, then we could snap up even more user bases.
Or get IMF to give loans to developing countries tied in with OSS use.
Simple: she schooling she had was Windows-only.
It's pretty apparent that your schooling was grammar-less.
the SuSE machines are definately the most popular amongst the kids (aged 10-11); partially due to the selection of games that came with the distro
Yes, right, that's good selling point for Linux - more games are available on Linux than windows.
Because of this dupe, I learned this was happening, not everybody is on Slashdot on a friday night!
Maybe this should be reposted tommorow, just for people who aren't there today also.
