I don't know if that was supposed to be sarcastic or some geek joke I'm not privy to, but my guess is you should have read one sentence further in the summary:

Damn straight. One of the things that makes the OS X interface so good is it's consistency. Generally, every window follows the same layout and behaves the same way. The exceptions to this tend to be the ports of linux or other open source programs (and Finder currently, let's hope that gets fixed soon!). Ubuntu is a magnificent OS, and will continue to be so, but it really needs more consistency. Maybe someone should start a side project to make all the apps available in the repos look and behave in a consistent manner.
Another beef that I have is how long the lists of things tend to be in Gnome and especially KDE. You pull down the system menu, which is relatively short, then you go to preferences or administration and it's like menu bukake. Human beings are good at doing visual serial searches. It's slow and it takes more concentration and is counterproductive. The problem is even bigger with Synaptic, sure it has the search function, but what if you don't even know where to begin searching? Besides, just having a list in front of the average user that bug creates anxiety.
Why not delete (by highlighting the text and hitting the "delete" button) what you don't want others to see and then export to pdf? Is there still hidden data in that?
Some other students and I had the chance to have dinner with E.O.Wilson several months back and he told us about this project. When one of the students asked him what he thinks about wikispecies his eyes kind of glazed over. He had no idea what it was. I'm not sure if that's because he's not internet saavy, or he didn't know what wikispecies was in particular.
I going to classify this entire thread of conversation as the "cascading vomit effect" or CVE. You see it from time to time on the dot. It's akin to dropping fake puke from the balcony at a movie theater while making a retching sound. That will cause one or two folks to puke, which then dominoes to the rest of the theater patrons and pretty soon everybody in the theater is puking. Let's hope it doesn't get that far here.
I think if anyone can pull this off though it's Julie Tamor. She has a rare visual genius. If you need proof just watch Frida. I know that's a movie, but from what excepts of her adaptation of the Lion King she managed to take a cartoon about animals and portray it on stage without really cheesy costumes. What she also showed in Frida was deep understanding not just of the characters, but more importantly how to communicate the complexities of the character to an audience in an approachable and intriguing way. I expect that she will probably delve into the characters and use them to drive the plot.
The soul of the Sam Rami films is what makes them so good. The stories are so good that even if there weren't cool fight seens in them, they would still be great films. I think Julie Tamor is more likely to understand that than a lot of people.
Let me say that I HATE MUSICALS. There is nothing on earth more hideously cheesy than a musical. They are an attempt to blend a play with music and in the end you get neither. But if this adaptation is to suck, it will be the fault of that self-righteous door-to-door ideal salesman Bono.
The animal that you speak of is more ravenous here in the Southeastern portion of the United States, where appetites in general are as large as their patriotic fervor. In my small college town I've seen many buffets start up and shut down after about a year or so. Interestingly enough, the only buffets that have managed to stay open are the Chinese restaurants. That really says something about the business model(i.e. only hire easily exploitable young relatives) of Chinese restaurants. Either that or the xenophobia of Southerners.
Ah yes, the instinctive reaction by nerds that posting on/. and getting laid are mutually exlcusive.
Damn straight!! I'm getting laid right no-o-oh, oh oooh yeah!
...but could someone explain what the significance of this is? Does this tell us anything interesting about the universe? Or is this just a "let's see if it can be done" kind of thing?
Manifest Destiny as a political idea has been dead for a long time.
Yes manifest destiny as an explicit idea is in fact dead. However we still suffer from the hubris of the implicit idea of American exceptionalism and it takes several forms, the dominant one being that the US is God's chosen country and it is our role to liberate certain middle-eastern and central Asian countries from their evil rulers. If some form of exceptionalism weren't common among the populous, the lead up to the war wouldn't have been so easy.

You forget that to a lot of slashdoters the Nazi's and the Fox news are one in the same.
You mean like the ones about his dead father?

I'm waiting for an article to come out saying that the report showing that Lincoln was shot by one gun is false.

I think you mean this Mexican wrestler.

Thank you my friend. I find what you say very useful. Allah smiles on you this day my friend!
Normally I get really annoyed when someone uses the ole "I for one...", but kudos to you for using the full quote.
Hmmm... ...that sounds just a little too convenient.
...but could someone explain what the significance of this is? Does this tell us anything interesting about the universe? Or is this just a "let's see if it can be done" kind of thing?
Man, this is a bad place to be making claims about your wife's socket.
Except I don't think his mother owns the shed, and I doubt he's living in it.
Let's just pray that it's 64 bit buffer.
Once you've got Linux on it it won't be to bad. I don't remember that last time I flushed iptables.
And for the people who where foil hats you can use McAffee as your shell.
