Indeed, BSD is not dead at all. In fact I took a look at their mailing list archives last week and saw more than half a dozen very active threads. Shame they were all flame wars.
Or you could bypass the drive and the rest of the problems with a network connection and a P2P application. This method also has the advantage of not funding organised crime.
Here's something I still sometimes find hilarious: My current sound card (an Aureal with all those fancy extras like 3D, equaliser and HW mixing - I found it in the trash) does not have drivers for any version Windows newer than 2000. Best piece of hardware I've ever had.
Though to Windows' credit, at least the OEM discs that came with my last prebuilt actually had a driver for the onboard sou- oh wait. No it didn't.
Why do all these media players have their own codecs with their own sets of bugs if they're all supposed to be open source free software? I tried to use VLC for one of the BBC radio streams a few days ago and no matter what I did, the connection would eventually drop after a few minutes. mplayer can do it just fine, just as long as I remember to put $(curl...) around the URL since it doesn't understand playlist files...
the OS doesn't *really* matter (if it did OS X and Linux and all the rest would never have any users).
If the OS _didn't_ matter they'd have no users. Everyone would be content to keep using the common-as-dogshit-and-worth-about-as-much OS that comes preinstalled on their PC.
The "high performance" OS - or distro, if you want to be pedantic about it, supports a small subset of hardware and software. The Windows PC can be found pretty much everywhere, doing pretty much everything, on hardware that has no standard configuration.
Sorry, I seem to have forgotten, could you remind us where the PPC/SPARC/Itanium/ARM/MIPS/eee701 versions of Vista are on sale?
Then which maker of consoles, computers, or comparable devices does intend for amateurs to 1. write their own programs for the device and 2. connect it to a standard-definition TV?
The Pandora has a TV-out, FYI. It's also faster, cheaper and more portable than a Wii. If only it wasn't sold out for the next 5 years...
The other thing that'll do is get their users EXTREMELY pissed off at them when the site crashes their browser as it tries to create a 400 megapixel uncompressed image in RAM.
I had a similar thing happen to me once, so I gave them a 2MB HTML page of tags. 2MB after gzipping, that is.
It keeps idiots like you who look at the name only away from the nightly builds, and anyone with enough of a clue to not judge it by its name is also by extension usually intelligent enough to read the fucking warnings not to use it in the first place.

It was done long ago.

For Linux to compete, it should aim at producing distributions that support as much hardware as XP
XP? You mean that OS with the sick joke installer that asks for a *FLOPPY DISK* to install to a SATA hard disk?
At least now we know why it's so unstable
Given how many NT4 installs there are out there on 2008 hardware, I doubt anyone cares.

Proper aspect ratio? That's the one where you can fit two Vim windows side by side right?
I don't have a separate drive to spare on my laptop for swap space, luckily I found a workaround for that by putting the swap on a ramdisk

Maybe he has the same problem I do - every time I see "CNET" it gets interpreted as "CUNT"
Just don't power them off.
What, your CPU can't reduce its clock speed when idle? Stop using fucking x86 then.
It might also be instructive to see what computer IE7 was running on.
They wanted a fair comparison, so they used Bochs to run IE7 on the PS3
Leftists. What an American word.
"Twatting" is already used for describing Twitter users in general.

Oh come on, my toaster could survive being on digg's front page!

This.
The dark age won't be brought about by technological failure, it'll be because everyone will be too busy being sued to learn to operate a computer.
Yes, and it also crashed when the comment IDs hit 2^24.
It's already "content-centric".
90% of internet traffic is warez kiddiez wasting bandwidth by torrenting thousands of MP3s, many of which they'll never even listen to.

Depends if that door is the only thing stopping them from walking off with a ton of private data other people have entrusted to you.

That was their intention.
