woah.. and since they now only use standard Intel/PC parts exactly the same as you find in Dell and others, what are you paying a lot extra for if not OSX?
A DOS MBR can't address hard disk space beyond 2TiB, which is a bit of a problem when disks bigger than that are already on sale. Also you're unlikely to find a cheap Dell that isn't made of flimsy plastic and cheap, noisy case fans. You do get what you pay for.
That feature that went in one or two releases ago, the one that displays bold in a different colour on the console, (where only one font is usable) was a nice touch IMO. Makes manpages much more readable. I know Linux didn't do it first, but I appreciate little things like that.

They also blocked pages by substring matching in my school. Really helpful when you're in a java class and trying to access a page containing the word "parse". Seriously.
Have a clearly accessible page that displays the cookies you're sending, and explains what each cookie they've set is for, what data it ties to you, and most importantly have a button right there on the page to delete it.
Yeah I know most browsers have built in stuff for this already; some don't and most average users would never think to look there anyway.
What, really? I've had no problems with most of mine used that way, but there's one in my house that's burned through 3 fluorescents in about as many months, and I was convinced it was just a "bad wiring" problem or something. It's all the more confusing that my bathroom one isn't nearly as problematic...
Closed-source software promotes competition and a wide variety of programs because your competitor's code is not available to you and there's the profit motive.
Exactly! Just look at the intense competition between Internet Explorer 8 and Opera! You'd never, ever see that from open source.
What I don't get is how Linksys can possibly think it's good business sense to piss off so many customers with price-gouging and crippled products. Then again, they see Microsoft getting away with it...

Ask Oracle, they're the experts in fucked up licensing.
It already is, as far as I can tell. Or at least, I couldn't figure out how to access a remote serial console without installing minicom first.
Windows used to have something like that.
In attempting to remove it, Windows ME was produced.
They had a parallel codebase they could jump ship to. Linux doesn't, so it can't afford to fuck this bit up.
Isn't that the title of the next Ubuntu release?
They're only up to "I" right now, so you'll have to wait until late 2010. I'd vote for it though.

Jeez, even new Creative cards don't work in Vista?
And I thought I got to act like an elitist prat with my 1998 Aureal card.

Yes I know CDs don't have DRM
CD Audio discs don't, no. It's actually forbidden to use the CD Audio logo on a disc that isn't a plain audio CD.
That doesn't stop some from doing it, though.
OK, here's seven hundred million lines of source code. Come back when you've solved the halting problem.
Having only ever seen the first movie and hearing how stupid the plot of the other two is, I'm now going to accept that as canon.
Didn't you see all of the "2000" crap at the turn of the millenium?
Nope. Though that might've been because they were all a year old by then.
Probably the same user(s) responsible for all the "offtopic" mods a few days back.

Or is it your HD set's scaler that's crap? Never had a problem with image quality on mine...
That's not extreme for Texas.
So you're implying that a patent troll suing a college freshman to extort money would be acceptable?

If W3Schools was the last site on earth I still wouldn't trust anything on it, least of all their statistics.
Oblig. reply.
I have no other response to that except...
What. The. FUCK.
Is it just the US doing this?
If I had to deal with customers like that, I'd take that $6 cable, apologise for the mislabelling, add a 0 on the end and hand it back to them.
