The only countries left that don't use metric are America and Bhutan. Bhutan is a fundamentalist islamic country that doesn't even have any phones yet. I guess we can see what the American technical level is.
Could it be because they might have some security vulerability that might get exposed if a person clicks a deep link and their tech people might be too damn lazy to fix it? Someone might send a friend a link to cheap tickets but when that friend click it, out comes a customer information list with credit card information and all.
I tried it out when it was first posted on Slashdot of spring of 2004. It was extremely impractical and had numerous flaws. It was susceptable to alt-tabbing for example. If you were going back and forth between windows a lot, you would occasionaly switch out of the gui and see your regular Windows destktop. Kinda kills the 3D effect right there.
Maybe Microsoft has a hand in this. This could be part of a anti-Linux strategy. (Is Bill Gates in bed with Sun's management team?) First they let Sun open-license everything. (Bill does whatever Sun management wants.) In a few years, Microsoft may decide that it's had enough of this cross-licensing crap and say tell Sun to block everything. (Probably by blackmailing Sun management with incriminating photos).
It gets warmer. Plants start growing where they couldn't before, like in the arctic. They use up all of the carbon dioxide and make oxygen and we all live happily ever after.
Or we might have a nuclear war with the aliens. This will lead to nuclear winter, which will cancel out global warming. Presto-solvo!
We make Linux look like Windows, call it, Winux... no wait, Lindows. Then we wait for the profits to roll in. I'm sure Microsoft won't mind us using a name similar to Windows.
As long as DRM capable devices have a headphone out, you will be able to rip any music/album, regardless of encryption or not. To prevent this, they might come out with newer computers that automatically check for DRM licenses by listening for watermarks or something. If they do that, all is not lost. If people keep a couple of our top-of-the-line computers around, we'll still be able to rip music from the the headphone jack.
Unless they come out with some sort of encrypted headphones, all attempts at 'combatting piracy' are doomed.

Is everybody forgetting the instant help people get from IRC channels? Look around. You've got official IRC channels for almost every distro of Linux. Got a problem? Pop in and ask a question. There will almost always be someone there to help you.
I idle on an IRC network where I've known the members for several years now. Yes, I will probably never meet them in real, but you have a sense of community. Is it illegal to have a sense of community?

I think you can only type Latin in it. Just look at the screenshot. Damn these beta versions...
What will they think of next? Here's a list.

If your house is going to be made out of straw, don't use gadgets that produce unnecessarily large amounts of sparks. No, seriously.
It looks like there's mold growing on my computer screen.
Seeing as how we're not a barbaric society any longer, they should just send them my way.

The first program was infected by a virus.

>>Let me introduce you to mirrordor.
The Mirrordoor? Is it like the door where you see your self coming into? It only managed to cache the introduction page of the website.
>>I thought about overclocking but I'm too afraid I'll fry something.
The paper will catch fire.

...when will Steve Jobs posing videos start appearing?
Anybody recall how many months passed between the Pentium IV trademark registration and the release of Pentium IV processors?

Just a guess. Everything sounds tgtbt.
Nothing to hear here, please move along...

It looks like they took the Twirl filter to the Firefox logo in Photoshop.
