Well, I can't say I disagree with Theo. The 'Open' in OpenBSD loses its meaning if you use such non-free documentation. And it's not as if the OpenBSD team has any obligation to include Hifn drivers.
"[A] desktop computer that can easily be pitched in your vehicle, driven to a destination, unpacked and used within seconds. Sometimes when you're working, and need to concentrate on a particularly nasty problem or are architecting a really nasty piece of code, you just want to take your computer and go _somewhere_else_."
In such a situation, I'd recommend you to get a 20" iMac. Those _do_ run OSX, and weigh just 5lbs more than this notebook.
"...writing anything longer [than 10-20 lines] is (a) very painful, and (b) encourages bad habits that will make it harder to use more powerful languages well..."
a) So? If you don't like coding long programs in PHP, don't friggin' do it. b) (I'm going to assume by powerful languages, OP means C, C++ or Java.) PHP has a C-like syntax, typecasting, the ability to declare functions, and doesn't work when you do stuff the wrong way. I can't see where it could lead to bad habits.
...so what are the odds of this bill making it through Congress? From (at least one of) the comments in TFA, it would appear the Members think this is bad just like we do.
Humans may not be the best of eamples, because: - Attractiveness is not a function of appearance alone. It also depends greatly on status. - Humans do birth control. With animals, how often or how easily they get laid is directly proportional to the number of offspring they produce.
If you know _all_ environmental variables, then, yes, you can predict which specimens survive and will probably reproduce with a simple species, such as the microbes in these experiments. With more complex species, for example humans, other, less easily determined factors, including one commonly known as 'attraction', will come into play.
In other words: you can survive all you want, but if you're butt-ugly you won't get no sexx0r*.
*: If you're butt-ugly: This is not meant to give offense, just stating a biological fact.

The Swedish party is named horribly as well, and they seem to be doing quite well.

White's made out of light of all sorts of frequencies, ie. an amalgam of colours. Yellow's just yellow. Please go back to optics 101.

"It's a trap!"
"Virtualization allows you to run an OS that was designed for another type of hardware. This is news. Really."
With Safari, the new design works fine for me.

FTFA: "Computers are not very good with natural language"
Neither are most humans. Even if computers could understand natural language, most people still wouldn't be able to convey their ideas correctly.

I mean, this is Slashdot after all.
Might be why they are called big distro's...
Anyhow, most installers come with a "No, I do not want to install twelve web browsers and seventy-four text editors, thank you very much"-option.
In other words: dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/hda

I'd rather know what they'd have to than how they'd sound saying it.
...welcome our new buzzword-compliant overlords. MFG, all I read these days is Google, Java and/or AJAX.
Clone and hack makes for sloppy code.
...or will they get screaming hot like the MacBooks Pro do, thus preventing you from actually putting one on your lap?
Or use last.fm: it does amaroK, which will score you some points with Slashdot's Linux-lover-crowd.

Add this story and suddenly we see why IE includes that standard.
This site has been around for ages. The "under 50%"-section said it would "go live next week" a year ago and still does, so why is this news?
So, how long before someone will start an ad-free fork?
