Are we doing your homework for you? One would have to think that a company of such size in the real world would hire somebody who doesn't have to ask slashdot how to do his job.
Eh, I'm only half way through my CS degree and I'm already making over 3.5 times minimum wage because of it. I don't think that CS grads have anything to complain about salry wise.
Microsoft Windows certainly makes sense (well, the name, anyway). Microsoft is the company name, and Windows is a description of the product, their operating system containing a windowing system.
These guys seem to have had much better luck than Mythbusters. And I thought that I could trust a couple of Hollywood prop guys to do science. That's a shame, I'll never be able to look at the show the same way again.
Looking at something doesn't mean that the viewer likes it. Think of all the traffic that was generated to the entry linked in the post above yours. We certainly don't want that to end up the winner.
Haven't you ever said "what a terribly horrible entry, I must look closer to laugh even more."? A bad entry could get more hits than a good one.
Almost every mainstream Linux distro has an install process just a simple as you describe. Mandrake, Suse, and Fedora all have very simple graphic installers which require little knowledge of Linux or eevn computer in general to work your way through. Even Slackware has a fairly easy installer if you don't need to do any partitioning.
Where things get complicated is with the "hadrcore" distros like Debian and Gentoo. These are the kind of things that nobody should touch unless they have good reason to and are highly motivated.
"the majority of hunters I encounter seem to be pissed idiots, blasting away at roadsigns and leaving beer cans and rubbish everywhere."
The majority of hunters that you see is probably much different than the majority of hunters. Most true hunters (ie not pissed idiots) spend their hunting time away from where most people in society would see them. It is terribly unlikely that you will have any success hunting if you stick around roads and towns getting drunk all day.
"If people want to understand where their meat comes from, they should tour some factory farms and industrial slaughterhouses."
You can't possibly think that it's better to eat meat from corporate farms and slaughterhouses than to hunt. Hunters (again, not the pissed idiot variety) respect nature and will only kill what they need. They are also truly concerned for the suffering of the animal and will ensure that it is killed quickly and that all of it is used for good. The more conscientious hunters will even go so far as to tan the hides and donate them to hospitals, etc. to be used in crafts.
Now compare this with the typical American farm... animals are kept in cages often too small for them to even turn around. They live terrible lives and are eventually forced into slaughter houses by any means possible, there are terrible stories of disabled cows being dragged by turcks into the slaughterhouse and other atrocities. Once there, they are processed in such a hurry with such terrible standards that we are dying from the bacteria and other garbage that ends up in our meat.
I personally think that we would be better off if everybody would give up meat, but knowing that this will never happen, I will certainly support somebody who is a civilized hunter over somebody who supports the terrible corporate farms of America and other nations.
That said, I think that the topic at hand, internet hunting, is disgusting and unacceptable. This will remove the hunter entirely from the situation, causing her to be careless. If you aren't actually there to see the suffering that is caused by taking stupid shots and wounding animals, you woun't have any reason to be careful about what you are doing.
This is not something that will be used by disabled hunters, they know that this is nothing like hunting. It will instead by used by the lazy and rich version of the pissed idiots mentioned in the parent post.
Slashdot Mirror
This is /.
People don't read articles.
Perhaps they also developed a board game to help children understand when two things are the same?

That might make sense... if the contract wasn't for G4s.
I believe that should be rephrased as "only those with US mobile telephones." I'm pretty sure that Google does not care about immigration status.
Are you complaining that bad shows will cease to exist?
Will wonders ever cease to exist!
No they will never cease?
Perhaps you should click on "save" before you close the edit window?

Maybe there is no Wimbledon on a UK Monopoly board, but there is on Monopoly Live, and I have a hotel on it!
It seems like iPod photo should be able to handle videos with a software update, eh?
I guess it will become even more popular now that Gmail offers 2121.041570MB of storage!

Why do you need 'sudo' if you're at a root prompt? :)
Well, the Slashdot headline is "News for nerds" and Wired is a magizine for nerds, it makes sense that a lot of Wired article would end up here.
The site's down. Looks like nobody listened to you :)
Looks like that site is down now, as well. Went down as I was poking around.

I am not aware that such a creature exists.
