Nonsense! There are plenty of dirt (not gravel) roads here in Arizona, straight and amazingly smooth! I can get up to 80+ MPH on these roads, and why not, usually these roads don't come accompanied with speed limits nor highway patrol.

Granted, the weather is fairly predictable (sunny) and traffic is not very heavy on these roads... still, they are a pleasure to drive and I wish there were more of them!

Hey yous. Yous guys.

You're a dick. ;)

It should be

"I prefer to read Slashdot..."

Dude, that is SO offensive. And I can't stop looking!

It's HOT GRITS :/

SECONDED... Greece has more HOT women per capita than any other place I've ever been.

A buddy and I went for holiday there a few years ago. We got home and sorted through our photos that we had snapped in Greece, a good two thirds were pictures of various womens' backsides! Take that Greek Data Protection Authority!

Nevermind the Acropolis, Greek women are amazing! :D

"WTF?" Exactly! This article is total nonsense.

"Ritter said that waves of disruption would begin to emerge next year, when computers would jitter and freeze. This would be followed by brownouts â" a combination of temporary freezing and computers being reduced to a slow speed.'"

Seriously, was this interview given to grade-school kids? "...jitter and freeze..." WTF is this guy talking about?

It's seems to me that if someone is going to be giving and interview regarding the Internet, they should probably know something about it first. Just a thought.

+5 Funny!? Come on mods! This is *clearly* an informative post! (About as informative as the article is.)

First thing I do after installing Ubuntu;

$sudo passwd root

sudo is for n00bs and lusers :D

I've previously been a big Mandriva fan having it installed on many machines over the years. It was "Mandrake" back in the day, now Mandriva. I've never been disappointed with the distro, never. It's solid and has always been a worthwhile install.

I have since converted over to Debian for my servers which I absolutely love. Then, just to keep my distro's somewhat similar, I started using Ubuntu (debian based distro) on my workstations. And so I've been using Ubuntu ever since.

It seems like everyone is running Ubuntu these days.. perhaps it's time to cut back to Mandriva, just for that very reason. I hope Mandriva continues to have success in the future, they do a lot for the Linux community at large and that's commendable.
