All authors put their life experience and beliefs into their books. At least in the books I read, OSC didn't usually try to force christianity on you too hard. True, Earthfall was a bit obvious, but it still had value on it's own. Besides, I have read some religious books that were also just good literature.
Yes, he's a blantant homophobe and a militant to a certain extent, but his books are very enjoyable.
The scientific community just does not switch to auto-belief mode. no one has yet to have come with overwhelming positive evidence of the existance of any god. flaws in the current model don't count, since it can hardly be true that it's either the current scientific model or god/God.
sheesh, the fact that I don't austomatically agree with you when you say "god" does not mean that i'm not listening to you. science is all about PROOFS and EVIDENCE, not "I believe, therefore it is true". science is simply not based upon such low doorstep standards for theory.
it was clinton's *personal life* he lied about, while bush tried to block human rights via a constitutional amendment, trumped the judiciary system blantantly, went into a war for the benefit of oil companies, relied on bad intelligence (at the least),and the list continues.
looks like WinXP, not is like WinXP.
first of all, longhorn is supposed to get true multi-user that works, also, IE7 is supposed to have better internet standards support, and finally, there's that search thingie.
yep, it's not some OS revolution, but it's something.
but the fact is that what he said was not insightful, it was a bad joke reflecting upon people condemning other people for being more morally consistent than them.
This has nothing to do with Linux, it has to do with the application toolkit. GNOME applications are installed in a distributed manner, whether they're installed via RPM on Red Hat or Fink on OS X. KDE applications are installed in a distributed manner, likewise. GNUstep, however, supports NeXTstep style packages just like OSX does.
you are confusing application toolkit with package manager. you can probably create an all-in-one GNOME or KDE app. however, you must also remember that all-in-one apps cause severe problems in a CLI-oriented environment.
you can probably also have an image dist-mounted each time you boot/login, but that will make booting/logging-in slower.
No, I mean put the folder in the dock. On OSX. This turns the folder into a menu when you right-click on it, or opens it as a folder when you left-click on it.
But wer'e talking about linux, not OSX. in OSX you put a folder on the dock, in GNOME you put a drawer on the panel, and in KDE you put a drawer on the Kicker, etc.

Why do those religious pricks have to appear everywhere?

I could have sworn that it released the new version at least a week ago on other sites.

Free beer is free is in "costs 0 ${CURRENCY}s", while free speech is free as in "liberty, freedom and equality".
garfield? is that you?
So? it's not like there aren't any wood and matches in the world.
actually, I think the correct phrasing is "windows has shiny iCons, it's better than everything!"

heh, by the time they get an updated map, there maay actually be a new world trade center...
Clearly "Windows Vista" is not the same as "Vista" the software company. It's doubtful anyone is going to confuse them.
actually, many people in the common crowd don't even call the current windows OS Windows XP or WinXP, they simply say XP and expect us to understand.
this is quite similar to "your operating system" meaning "your version of windows" in some computer magazines.

A black box is fine as long as *you* are the one who controlls it.
