Since he started by pronouncing it LEE-nooks, people assumed it rhymed with his name (LEE-noos as he pronounces it) and most yanks pronounce it LYE-nuks to rhyme with the american pronunciation of Linus. This is how I pronounced it for ages, but recently, I've heard clips of Torvalds pronouncing it LINN-nuks (much less heavily accented), and Bob Young pronouncing it LINN-nuks, and Ralph Nader, and so on... So I've taken to calling it LINN-nuks.
Linus will swear up and down that there's no one true pronunciation. I think he likes the fact that it makes people talk about it:)
Er, to qualify my last post, I'm not really qualified to be advancing that theory over the one the original poster was suggesting. I only mean to say that if the K-line theory was in fact being demonstrated in truth, then it would explain those results.
To see it from a different point of view, it lends weight to Minsky's theory of K-lines, where one replays the action in a "memory context" (a subshell, if you will) as if it were being performed fresh. The rat wasn't rearranging its brain, it was very likely remembering how it got its water and the electrodes picked up the patterns appropriately.
Yes, a total of THREE PCI slots. Knock out one for your new video card. Knock out one for your SCSI controller. ANd if you ever upgrade your sound card, there's the last one.
I have yet to see many choices on the USB end, FireWire is gonna be even worse, even if it is far superior.
How does Blender compare to 3D Studio MAX, Ray Dream Designer, or Lightwave in terms of feature set? I'm not a graphic designer by any stretch of the imagination, but feel free to baffle me with industry-speak, I'll try to grok the context. Mostly I could use something I can quote to a real designer who asks me "Can Linux do X".

With a name like that, I'm guessing these guys don't have a marketing department...
Don't forget the nine billion names of Microsoft.

There's a technology called Slashdot that lets people type without even having a mind.

This is barely more upgradeable than an iMac

You're new to slashdot, arentcha?
