Is this the electric car you've been waiting for or another rich person's toy?

Considering my current car costs about 14K, and the most expensive cars I'd consider buying are all below 35K, I'd say the latter.

...of using grass and cows to accomplish the transformation?

We're gonna create our own Internet! With blackjack and hookers!
In fact, forget the Internet and the blackjack! ...And the hookers! we're a theocracy, dammit!

...we'd already be on Linux 160.0

I like Umberto Eco's analogy.

I could go further and say the Linux minority is Jewish:
- We don't believe in salvation. Heaven is finding out your wi-fi works out of the box.
- There's the Orthodox (Kosher FSF-approved distros), Conservative (Debian) and Reform (Linspire)
- Mainstream, pragmatic Ubuntu is certainly like Chabad, which makes Mark Shuttleworth the Rebbe
- We are very few, but really loud

I could go on, but you get the point.

C'mon guys, give them a break... it's not like other browsers have supported this for, I dunno, five years, because they put the user in charge instead of the content providers... Right?

Buenos Aires: $40 for 3M/512K.
The fastest my ISP (one of the 3 "big ones") will go is 15M/1M... for $150 (!!!)
$20 will buy you 640K/256K.

Remember we're not talking about some rural town. This is the "Paris of the South", the 17th largest city in the world.

...It only took them 8 years longer than it took for everyone else.

I've lent several books to friends and relatives.

Most of them had the books for months or years, returned something that didn't look at all like the book I gave them, or didn't return them at all.

So, this new "feature" is not at all like lending books!

Sue!

1. Grab the phone from your drunk friend
2. Get a temporary password
3. Do nasty stuff with his account, including posting pictures of him in this particular moment

But nobody's gonna do that... right?

How long until spambots start sending you messages looking just like the one from Facebook directing you to a fake URL?

Because Skype works better than any of the alternatives.

While it's nice to have free/open/libre software and protocols, the first requirement of anyone that needs to get something done is that it WORKS.

A friend of mine did that, and got his account terminated under false accusations.
