So since when did Anime and comics become synonymous with the word 'geek'? Aren't we a little more diverse then the article states?
I play with Linux, computers and build things, but I have never really liked Anime, and I got over my comics phase when I was a teenager. In my spare time I sometimes play with the computers, but I also enjoy GETTING AWAY from the computer and play my son, go bicyling, play in the garden, etc.
I think that the USSR was considered an enemy because we were in the way of them accomplishing their stated goal of world conquest.
That's funny, because in Soviet Russia, the USA was considered an enemy because the Soviets were in the way of the US accomplishing their stated goal of world conquest.
We call it things like 'Opening the Markets', 'capitalism', and 'free trade'. It wasn't really 'free market', as much as opening the markets to American business, which would frequently be favored over non-American businesses.
With remote desktop, I can actually use an existing session on a remote machine. This way I can use one desktop from my desk, the conference room, or from home.
StartX just starts a new X session. I can't see an existing session on a remote machine.
Some day I'll check out Real VNC, to see if it's easier to use the Remote Desktop.
Remote desktop is no reason to base an OS decision on.

In order to have a game which contains good sex, you need to have an audience who knows what good sex is.
Unfortunately, judging by the popular porn promoted by most gamers and netiziens, most people don't have a fucking clue,
It's fine if an 18 year old doesn't know what good sex is, but a 30 year old adult? Give me a fucking break.
99% of porn on the net and on the videos is complete utter crap: Same formula, different girl, staged sex, fake orgasms-- all ending with a goddamn cumshot. Why the hell would you pull out of a great orgasm to cum on the girls face??? BOOOOOORRRRRING!
The audience of this porn obviously doesn't have a fucking clue what 'hot sex' is, and doesn't tire out from bad crap porn.
Do you have any sources for those numbers? Just curious.
Your numbers talk about servers for Fedora, Debian, SuSE and RedHat; but my experience is that Ubuntu & Gentoo is mostly used for workstations (including individual development servers), RHEL & Debian is mostly production & shared development servers, Fedora & SuSE are popular in both places-- so you're almost comparing apples to oranges to bananas.
Most of the Ubuntu users are previous Debian testing and unstable users and previous Gentoo users.
Not sure that I agree. While I'm sure that Ubuntu is attracting many Debian Testing & Unstable users, it's also attracting many new users from all other areas.
I know a number of people who are starting to use Ubuntu, and none of us were big fans of Debian at all because it's always so far behind the times & hard to use. We're especially not big fans of Debian Testing or Stable, because they are hard to use and buggy.
Ubuntu looks & feels very different from Debian, but it's
Whose Burden is it to keep the computers in a landfill?
If the computers are not recycled, they will most likely end up on the side of the road or in a landfill. Considering that there are materials in the computers which are toxic, this means that the toxins will eventually leak out into the surrounding environment.
So before we ditch recycling, the following questions should be asked: Whose Burden is it to keep the computers in a landfill? Whose Burden is it clean up the toxins? Who's burden is it to pay for the detrimental health and environmental effects from when the toxins leak into the surrounding environment?
Recycling computers is also not a clean process, and also produces toxic byproducts. So really, we need to ask the same questions for recyling also.
Bah! Most of the posts here are about how this new XML format will open the MS Office formats.
This is wrong.
XML is composed of two pieces: XML, which is open; and an XML Schema, which will be closed and propietary. An XML document without an XML Schema is not usable by other applications.
So don't go around pretending that Microsoft's "XML" will let people open Word documents with other applications. It won't. They are still maintaining their closed formats and will continue to lock-in the customers.
The postal service provides a communications infrastructure. The federal government was also heavily involved in the development of the telephone infrastructure, radio & television infrastructures. These are communications infrastructures which are similar to the Internet and wireless access.
The constitution doesn't say they need to provide post office boxes, which are equivilant to POP email in your analogy. They do that anyways, because it's a money maker and helps to pay for the rest of the service. They also help private companies to provide post boxes-- in many cities, the Post Office has contracted with Mailboxes Etc to provide the post box service.
What happens when there's an unexpected object in the way like a tree root, lawn chair or small child?
Sure, maybe it has some limited sensors to detect some objects, but robots always have a problem dealing with the unexpected.
With the Roomba for example, you often need to re-arrange furniture to be more 'robot-friendly' because the robot can't deal with obstacles like an unexpected chair leg or a persian rug.
Look in the Constitution - the word "wireless" does not appear ONCE.
Maybe because the Constitution's authors didn't have computers or wireless networks?
Section 8 of the Constitution does say the government should build physical infrastructure like Roads as well as communication infrastructure like Post Offices. Seems very similar to building wireless infrastructure.
Towards the end of THX 1138, as the characters approach the city shell, and there are some shots of the guards picking up wierd lifeforms. There's a bunch of radio chatter during which one of the guards says "I think I hit a Wookie back there".
I agree that Outlook's "Group by Conversation" view really, really sucks. There's a big, ugly, grey "Group Header" above each thread, which means that if you have a single message, it takes up TWO lines of precious screen space.
Every time I talk to some Outlook guru I ask about this, and they stare at me with a dumb look on their face and ask why would I want to view message threads. !!! They don't even know what they are missing.
What's ironic is that Outlook Express does this correctly. Outlook does not.
I bet a large chunk of this problem stems from the fact that many (or most) colleges use your SSN as your Student ID Number.
About 8 years ago, a City College of San Francisco sent out a bunch of postcards to the students (There are tens of thousands of part-time students there). The postcard (No envelope) contained some information on how to register, and a reminder of the students Student ID Number-- which was a SSN. On a fricken postcard.

This is just a guess, but I'm pretty sure that cartoon women, even the ones with superpowers, cannot reproduce.

I would like nothing better than for us to stand back while you backwards fucks kill each other off
Then do that. Stand back, get the US government to stand back, and we'll see what happens.

The main reason I use XP is for Remote Desktop, which is pretty darn cool.
I also find XP to be more stable then 2K.
And I disable the gummy bear theme, hidden desktop icons, customized menus, etc. as soon as I log in.
you can't SEE someone having a great orgasm
You can use your imagination! If you're not using your brain during sex, something is wrong.
I just don't quite understand why so many men feel the urge to watch a man cum... BOOOORRRRING!

which will be closed and propietary.
A small correction. The XML Schema will be closed, propietary, and poorly documented; just like many of Microsoft's open APIs.

I don't think you're clear on the concept.

I agree.
I really like the effect known as "laughing so hard the juice goes out one's nose" trick which is practiced in lunchrooms across the country.
Most humans can quickly learn how to take care of another human's health and safetly. A robot can't learn at all.

I'd be too scared to click on any links, for fear that a secure login page would popup.
Sorta like browsing Slashdot before they introduced the "show link domains" feature.
I often forget to look at the status bar, which ironically, is partially what the article discusses.
If I used that image, I would never, ever surf the web again.
Dang, they shut it down! Those dorks SHUT DOWN FREEDOM!
