Not sure if it was Linux, but I did see the old style X server boot screen. The officer didn't seem to know much about it. Didn't get a chance to learn much about it on the way to the holding cell.

It makes you question the validity of the first half.

That's almost a metropolis in Simcity.

Sure you have.

I've ran Windows 3.1 in Dosbox.

Windows and OS X are only updating the OS. Ubuntu, like any Debian based install, is upgrading everything you downloaded through the repository. You don't have to update every five minutes. The vast majority of the updates aren't major security concerns. What you see as "constantly needing fixed", is actually instant availability of improvements. Why be forced to wait a week for something thats been fixed minutes after the last update cycle?

Thats funny. I actually keep a radio on channel 6 with the squelch up most of the time. When I hear indecipherable ramblings and clashing AM carriers i turn it off and start scanning the upper HF bands.

Nah, its global warming. Its right there in the summary tag.

I thought it nice that this was mentioned. The article and the video might not have had the detail you required, but the thats what the google search is for. I've seen holographic images before, and was very interested in how it's accomplished, but it was years ago and I didn't have the resources to look into it further. Sometimes its nice to be reminded of this kind of stuff. For myself, it's led to a night of googling and interesting reading. If its not enough for you, move on to the next article.

Yeah but malarky tastes so much better when you haven't had your your tongue cut out...

Why not, it would help battle the "Stupid people are breeding" problem. I live near many neighborhood/trailer parks where some people don't seem to do anything besides eat, breed, and live off the government. They don't seem to have any motivation to do much else. Some of the more intelligent people I know are not interested in having kids. If its a bad thing, it will go to hell really fast. Why not just see what happens.

Why not roll-your-own. More power, less money, use any bicycle. http://www.electricrider.com/

Just wait. This is going to get bloody.

Yup. Not only did I incorrectly state what I really meant, I also misread the summary and didn't read the article. Guess that's what I get for slashdotting in the morning before drinking my coffee.
