I don't think the President of the Galaxy would bother with operating systems, but I'm fairly sure those hoopy guys Ford and Rooster would be handy at Linux hacking...
As the blog entry below explains (with screenshot), the way the GNOME clock expands to show a simple calendar, with your appointments from Evolution marked on, is GENIUS.

Bet you this guy as facial hair. I worked at the Space Science department of the Rutherford-Appleton Labs in Oxfordshire. All the people their had beards of mustaches. Even the women.
Maybe... but wouldn't that mean we've reached saturation?
Reminds me of strange piece in NewScientist recently. "Fresh AIDs cases drop in India - This year, the WHO estimates only 100,000 new cases of aids ocurred, as opposed to 500,000 the year before, halting a trend since records began. However, this may be due to a change in the method use to estimate the value made by the WHO". I thought no, hang on, according to those figures, the number of new cases must have dropped cos of the 1 billion ppl in India, they've all got it. No, AIDs isn't funny. Maybe. Team America - "Everybody got's AIDs, AIDs, AIDs..."
Microsoft - "please buy our latest identical piece software, even if you have it already, we need you, no, you're not buying? that's a criminal offence."
> Once DRM becomes mandated on all PC hardware
I don't think so. Hardware companies are catching on that such moves offend a growing number of uses, cutting sales. Hence recent chips have included DRM as a internal option. And that suits me fine. I can go in to my computer and switch it off. Someone who buys a Windows OEM PC from Dell from Hell for three times it's true value, can have DRM enabled when it arrives and not have a clue how to change it.
Seems like for these tech-incompetent tech-columnists the only two programs they run are their web browser and email client, and have forgotten how to save notes in a text file. Of course, for them, it's probably quick to email themselves than try and add "fix email" to their to do list to their 20KB blank file in word.

Didn't ya know, the book is powered by Linux?
Can they not just patent the technique and then sue the pants off any hackers?
Zawinski's just this guy, you know?
Zawikski's just this guy, you know?

In an attempt to compete with free operating systems such as Linux, Microsoft has revalued all versions of Windows to $2
>Not to excuse poor design, but sometime's it's easier to piss on stuff than figure out how to fix it. :P
What about for Jellish stings
IBM pull out of OS and mainframes to become a management consultancy business and make portable telephones...
1. Buy Mac
2. Convert to x86
3. ???
4a. Profit!

did anyone suggest putting the clocks back to (19)00 ?

Didn't anyone try putting the clock forwards on their computer to see if y2k was a real issue.
Copyright was intended to protect the original artists, not to full record companies' pockets for a century after the artist is dead.
enough to power 1000 homes with the equivalent power of distributed computing software?
probably not.

I'm sorry, but now I must destroy your brain. I can't even recycle it.
NASA are messed up if they can lose stuff in their own buildings for 40 years.
Cue amusing suggestions...
That said, I bet that Opera will pass the Acid2 test before Firefox.
