Cause of Death: After Taco's death, his 6 year-old nephew took over the site. Most of the articles were about farts and dodgeball. Popularity went through the roof, but the kid forgot to renew the domain. Microsoft bought it and turned it into a site where people could post tributes to Windows Genuine Advantage.

What does average user even mean? For the average Windows user, I'd say Ubuntu would be the best for them without hesitation. For the average Linux user, the question becomes trickier. I don't know that there is a well-defined "average Linux user". Based on the stats, I would say the average (norm) Linux user is an Ubuntu user. Since the average Linux user is already using Ubuntu, it stands to (circular) reasoning that Ubuntu is best for the average Linux user. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Change it to a "Stop the bidding process by offering a sufficient sum of cash to guarantee satisfaction of the seller's minimum requirements for sale" button. Patent that, of course.
I think this is a travesty! I have informed **&&^*&^^&* and ^%%$$$%*, who both plan to organize a rally at &**((**(&%^. If want to help, go to *&*^&*^%&^%&^%&^%&^%%&^%&^%&^ and sign up!
I hated when they used the term DOS for the Mozilla crashes, I hate when the use it for Microsoft desktop applications. Just say you found a way to crash the program. Woo hoo! It doesn't sound as serious as DOS, but it is more accurate. Leave DOS for server attacks that clog a network, or prevent a server from being accessed. But entering in Chinese unicode characters into a shareware text editor that causes it to crash is not a DOS attack. PUH-lease!
A study shows that even without optimization, web apps can ran at almost 60% of their native speed using virtualization. Using better optimization, this percentage can be even higher.
It's all how you present the data!
Change the disk in bios from LBA to Large or Normal, install OS and let grub be installed. After install, you can switch back to LBA. This only seems to affect debian-based OS's with grub. I think it has something to do with the bios incorrectly reporting the disk size.
My take:
When the wheels are falling off your empire you make insane decisions like Microsoft is making in the above article. This is definitely a sign of a collapse. I imagine many in Redmond are muttering under their breath - "The emporer has no clothes!"
BTW: Just to clarify, you will still be able to install Home editions in VM's for testing IF you are am MSDN subscriber.

They did a good thing. It is fruitless to speculate why. 'Nuff said.
Apparently, there is talking of requiring 90-95% of all computer users to run Microsoft Windows as punishment.
Linux users prefer beer.
Every programmer including THE programmer is familiar with lazy initialization. No use wasting resources until they are needed. makes perfect sense.
Another article about Rosie O. and Ellen D. Haven't we had enough??

Has anyone told Packard Bell yet?
I'm staring at a Google ad on this page. Priceless!
It was acutally "We don't have time for science in state government"
