The reason the Korean war death toll was so much higher is that there was an opposing army to fight, instead of a few desperate people with the leftover guns from a regime.
That's nice, except people in the real world don't have 300DPI e-ink screens and the web isn't a fucking printed magazine. Sites created with that assumption either look like shit or don't work whatsoever unless the user has one specific OS with one specific font and one specific browser.
BTW, is there any way to make it non-modal? Maybe replace gksudo with a shell script that runs sudo in an xterm? Haven't tried it but making it a symlink to kdesu might work too. From a quick search on google it seems you're not the only one complaining about how it works.
The benefits of going to a larger network address space are similar to going to a larger RAM address space. Yes you _could_ continue to use 64KB segmented addressing forever or never be able to address more than 640KB/4GB, but why?
It's more likely the push will be started by software. For instance Firefox uses IPv6 DNS queries by default and falls back to v4 if they fail. For an ISP that won't support IPv6, they pay by taking double the load on their DNS servers.
Windows does it by locking up the entire screen and demanding an answer to continue, no matter what requested it. Linux prints a password prompt in the terminal and waits until you're ready.
I agree, the Internet should be English-only. I'm also sick of these illiterate, retarded Americans getting on it without even so much as a high school diploma in English.
It's not a horrible idea from the point of view of the people who built it. They get to steal energy from the motorists that they'd otherwise have to pay for.
Why should someone have to pay $29 extra for a new battery? Why would you even consider that an acceptable additional cost? You're right, Apple should've sold a "user-serviceable" version of the iPhone with a full-size removable battery and detachable back cover, for all those people who would never buy one anyway!
Where one camp say: "Listen, Office is in fact demonstrably better than any Free(tm) alternative," My preferred reply would be "then demonstrate it or fuck off".
Don't worry, once they move on to the next optical disc format a dozen or so months from now with all the fancy holographic stuff, it shouldn't be too much of a stretch to put it into a cartridge format.
Microsoft'll still find a way to scratch it though.
The exec as much as admitted that they 'bet on the wrong horse' by focusing on the PS3 and 360 during the console transistion
No, he bet on the wrong horse by trying to use a business model for razors to run a games company. Gamers have voted with their money now that they have a choice - they choose not to have identical shitty games shoved at them every 12.0 months.
Hopefully EA will be gone for good when the next gen comes around.

Had it not been for Minix, nobody would be offended enough to create something better.

You forgot Gaybuntu

Maybe they just got sick of dealing with other asshole corporations.

Time to filter out Scuttlemonkey stories again for the next 12 months.
Let's be honest.
Who are the real terrorists at this point?
Sounds like DBus, except that hardly anything supports DBus right now.
The simple answer is that Linux already has far better security tools that a novelty like this can never match.
$18K sounds like a lot, until you consider it's the same price as a BD drive about 18 months ago.
I had to go look up what AREXX was. Maybe I'm missing something here but it sounds just like AppleScript, OLE Automation, DCOP, ...
It's not just for 12cm frisbees.

No, no, you're completely wrong. That number is actually a percentage.

You don't need a Mac to do that - just install Beryl/Compiz and you can do it per window.
Why not split off Firefox instead, since it's getting most of the attention? Maybe then the Mozilla project can go back to making good software.
