I really don't see why people care that much, as long as you know what they're saying. We should just get websters to include all the common mispellings as synonyms so then you could all stop your bitching.

I don't think its a fundamental problem with xwindows, I just think there are too many freaking distributions. Variety is great but the linux community (not me, the guys who do the real work, thanks guys) is too small to have decent support for 40,000 distro's. And LSB is not enough. I think REAL standardazation is the only way to get out the kinks, like when to set-up/fix something all you have to do is type one little line, but to find out EXACTLY what that little line is takes an hour, if its the first time you've ever doni it. After you learn how do do something its usually simple, but theres no easy way to find out how to do it. Most of things I'm talking about are either distro specific, or are just to specific to make it into any book or guide. Alot of books will have 1000 pages of "heres how to blah blah blah" but not mention that you need to include "-fe" or whatever to make it do what you want. Then you search the net for help and 6 different ways to do it come up but only two work. And man pages don't always help.
Most likely we've got about 100-200 years. Think of the graph of the human population. It's an exponential curve. The universe will be habitable to intelegent life for trillions upon trillions of years, compared to the 10-20 billion years its already lived. If humans live to move off earth and spread throughout the galaxy the exponential population curve could continue. If it did that would mean that you were in the first billion-billionth of a percent of all the people to ever live, which is very unlikely. There is a much better chance of living at the end of the curve before extinction. So probability says we'll probably be killed off somehow pretty soon. Well anyway, enjoy the rest of existence.
Hmmmm you might have found a loophole in mod law. O.K., If this post gets +4 or lower than its true as +4 or lower posts are the truest and most authoritive and insightful posts on slashdow that are actually worth reading.
The clusters of aluminum atoms is just like any metalic cluster and freely share thier outer shell electrons amongst each other, but small clusters can act like big atoms. This is different than in a molecular compound where different atoms are covalently bonded and share their electrons only with the specific atom its bonded to. Thats kinda just off the top of my head though so the details might be slightly off.
I got my archos 6GB a couple years before the iPod came out, love it, but before ipod was out most people that saw it just "didn't get it." For like two years it blew my mind why these things weren't insanely popular. Each charge lasts substantially more than ten hours, and it came with four replacement bateries(which I didn't need until last month). And six gigabytes of storage in a handheld mp3 player was all anyone would ever possibly need, back then, but still plenty. Not to mention the fact that it had no DRM, was built to last, and IMHO is much easier to use and connect to than an iPod. It shows up at as a HD, you just drag'n drop or cp files or directories to it and your done. Using itunes to upload feels like when cd burners first came out, and all of a sudden to write a disc you needed separate cd burning software while with floppy disks it was automatic, just without all the advandtages that cd's have over floppies.
Anyway, sorry to be such a fanboy, I guess its really all just up to marketing.
"The Easter Bunny has just announced that, starting this year, all Easter eggs will be replaced with Monsanto GM Chocolate Tomatoes."
Ya every year we get these imposter, gen-enged chocolate easter egg laying bunnies; but every year theres only one bunny who gets to be gen-enged to lay Cadbury chocolate easter eggs! Because there's only one Cadburry Bunny, sorry guys. And if we find any more you better hope its not living on your property, because we'll sue your nuts off!
Honestly, I just don't care that much how many people use firefox compared to internet explorer. If in time to come there's ever a day when I am the last man alive still using firefox(and firefox could still load/.), then I guess that would just suck for everyone else then wouldn't it.

It's not dark energy its observationally challenged!
No, its not that he had big ears, to hear sounds with a 500 million light year wavelenght you just have to listen a really really long time.

Any chance that this stuff can be used to make admantium? that'd be schweet!
nope

The '85 was sweet. I remember how cool I was back in 7th grade when I came to school with a nekid pic of pam anderdon on my calc, great days.
the hours and hours of classtime i spent on ti-83 pacman isnt even funny, i think it might definitly be my favourite gaming system

Nothing like an unexplained change(from before 5 years ago) in the laws of physics to kick off the new year!
