BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) has never worked on my laptop, so Windows Update doesn't work (neither does Google Pack). I've had to use AutoPatcher to update. Crap.
There is a subtle change that modern distros do when they set the Gnome menus that addresses this. Programs are listed as such things like 'GIMP Image Editor', 'Firefox Web Browser', etc. What does 'GIMP Image Editor' do? It edits images and this is even more obvious that using a name like Photoshop.
This wasn't done when I started using GNU/Linux and it's a small but very helpful feature.
Oh wait, ALT-E-S works. I went to double check in Word 2007, but it after five minutes I got tired of it attempting to boot up, so I submitted the reply without checking. My bad.
No, they don't all still work as they did before. To insert a page break, I used to press ALT-I-ENTER-ENTER. This no longer works. To paste special, I used to press ALT-E-S. This no longer works. To change the page setup, I used to press ALT-F-U. That doesn't work anymore either.
There are probably more lost keyboard shortcuts, but I found Office 2007 way too slow, so I switched back to Office 2003 after a few days.
Nude pictures of preteens is illegal and the problem. A website called "xxxpreteens.ie" is only a problem if they are doing something illegal like that. The name itself is not immoral.
Of the newly announced JMS projects, I'm more excited about the potential Rising Stars TV series based on the excellent comic book series JMS wrote. This project will be developed by Sam Raimi's company.
XP works fine with 128MB of memory for the first few months. Install a few programs over the next few months and XP becomes almost unusable. It's easy to reinstall XP when using VMWare, but it is a pain in the ass if you have to install your OS every few months. 256MB isn't close to "ideal", but it'll do if you aren't doing much.

Men don't really care if she is witty is not. When we say that a woman is 'witty', we mean that her boobies jiggle when we tell jokes.
Replace 'Sony' with 'E.T.' and then it's really unsurprising that he phoned home.
I'll give you 123 guesses who modded him down.
Only a nerd can make it through Atlas Shrugged. Let alone think that its anti-emotion, anti-cooperation, and anti-social message is a good idea.

Awesome. That worked. Thanks.

We don't think so.
Why? You didn't find 'Mission Accomplished' a misleading enough tagline, so you want to get Slashdot editors in there instead.

No. Well, Carrie Fisher has said during interviews that they own her likeness and could do anything with it. I assume Ford has a similar deal.

As soon as Boxcar Willie is in the public domain, we are all free. Oh wait. Maybe it's Steamboat Willie. It's one of those two.

RMS, is that you?
Not quite an Encyclopedia, but try looking at role playing games manuals, like GURPS Ultra-Tech.

You'd think with a Heinlein prize, the award would be a giant gold breast. ;)
I think you meant "the award would be time travelling back to when your mom was still hot."
Everyone knows that the reason why the poles are reversing is that John Locke stopped pushing the button.

We all want to be informed on how exactly Vista will suck so we can give precise reasons why people should switch to BSD.

Kevin Kelly wrote a very interesting article, but his "triple blind experiments" are not triple-blind experiments, triple-blind, or experiments.
As wikipedia puts it "Triple-blind trials are double-blind trials in which the statistician interpreting the results also does not know which intervention has been given". Three roles (experimenter, subject, and statistician) are blind to the controls. Only two people are blind in his version, but they are blind to the whole thing not just the controls. And as you pointed out, he is talking about analysis not experimentation.
