This was one of my favorite stories back in gradeschool (along with the Story of Ping). If I remember right, the special abilities of each of the five brothers were as follows:
The first one could swallow the sea. The second one could stretch his legs indefinitely. (This was why he couldn't be drowned.) The third one could not be suffocated. The fourth one essentially had an iron neck. The fifth one could not be burned.
Or even better... What's to stop someone from forgoing a dedicated router and just using an old Pentium box with a minimal Linux installation as a router and firewall?
Would it help to point out to those bastards that refusing cash is illegal? You can do that by pointing out that little statement on all U.S. bills:
This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private.
It's not Supe we would need to worry about. It's General Zod, Ursa, and Non; or at least Zod and Ursa, since Non would have no clue what he's looking at.
At least he has a county here in Washington named after him. I suppose that would be some small consolation.
On the other hand, at least Jefferson got his face on the two dollar bill, while Washington is only on the one dollar bill.

Yeah. I figured that was a long shot. But it would have been pretty hilarious if a bare bones, no frills browser like Dillo had passed the test. I was actually tempted though to post a screen shot of the results from Lynx or eLinks, but got distracted elsewhere.:D
The only ones in this situation that might possibly earn the title of astronaut would be the ones at the controls, IMHO.

I believe that is an incorrect assertion. I used the middle button to click the "Reply to This" link beneath your post, and the link opened in a new tab (Firefox 1.0.4 / Debian Sid)

I've heard, and perhaps some reader here can either confirm or debunk this, that even after service has been terminated on a cell phone, 911 still remains active. If that is true, then anyone who is worried about not having access to 911 away from home could simply shell out the $5 to $10 at any thrift store for a deactivated phone in order to have quick and easy 911 capability.
Of course I do. Even moreso though, I remember him as Easy Reader (also on The Electric Company).
Now there is a show I would love to see released as a DVD boxed set or two.
I operate behind a NAT box (Debian with ipmasq and GuardDog firewall). I've never had any problems getting BitTorrent to work, and don't have to ssh into the NAT box.
BitTorrent Peer and BitTorrent tracker are two of the many protocols that you can set GuardDog to allow, block, or reject.

Oh sure, and ruin all the fun when I send one of my new troops to Supply to get a metric clock.

Hell, the "True Believers", aka fundies, would probably support this in hopes of helping to bring on the Apocolypse and the so-called Second Coming.

(Yes, I know. This is old news. But it's still worth a chuckle or two.)
The 90s called. They want their FUD package back.

Is this what the results of the acid test should look like? http://www.mlparena.com/albums/Off-Topic-Images/Ac id_Test_Dillo.jpg
That was what I got with Dillo.

In the spirit of freedom of choice (or whatever you want to call it), http://distrowatch.com/ might be a more suitable URL.
That article says it's going to be a new version. Hopefully, that will prompt them to put the original Electric Company out on DVD as well.

How about really living on the edge and going with DR-Stealth instead?

If that were to happen, would the end result be a Kansas that was ruled by a bunch of damn dirty apes?
Now is a good time to invest in Preperation-H, because the moon will be passing through Uranus.
That's a good point, AC. Perhaps it is time we give this a name?
I propose calling it the Lava Java Law.
NIC Card is correct, since NIC is Network Interface Controller. Not all NICs are cards. Some connect to a parallel port, and some are USB.
