Hey EdLOOPS, what's a protype?

in spite of whatever you think to the contrary.
Alright I lied. But except in the case of

I'll admit it's not complete yet, but it has a fairly
functional BS detector. That's why I think you're such a
gas. And it's such fun to spork your spelling flames. Are
you annoyed yet, EdWINnies? Why don't you flame _my_
spelling like you're so fond of doing to others? By the way,
I don't use a spell checker. Or a dictionary. And that's
_not_ an analogy, by the way.

It is indeed much better. I have switched completely to
Linux, and see little reason to futz around with windows.
However Linux does not suffer fools gladly.
So while Linux does everything I need from an OS, and
does it more reliably than windows, it is probably not
right for you. Please go buy a mac.

CAFE killed people, it made for lighter cars, with less protection.
But you are right that people aren't willing to pay extra for efficiency, and
why should the when oil is cheap?

Because public transit sucks. Pretty simple reason really. I say this as
someone who doesn't own a car or truck, and takes public transit a lot. But
frankly, it's poorly done in most US cities.

Hehe. The first time I saw the original screenshot I just assumed the lens

We haven't figured out that people don't like the GPL yet, beyond your

Who says that, beyond just you? The majority of programmers? I see

majority, which exist only in your rhetoric.

I suspected you might ignore my refutation of your false claim and
make another to change the subject, hoping nobody would notice.
Sorry Chad sock-puppets do not think or write well without their
masters' hand up their butt.
I don't usually post HTML but this one's for you and I would not
want to strain your little neuron.
The first one is the *only* link I have seen for a W2K cluster.
It is one tenth as powerful as one of the Linux links beneath it.
The second one explains that Linux clusters are rapidly climbing to
the top of the list of largest supercomputers.
How do you think working on and building clusters big enough to be
ranked among the top 500 supercomputers in the world deserves to be
labeled "using archaic or esoteric systems" ?
Oil companies, biotech companies, and financial houses are hardly
what I would class as dead end jobs.
The Linux community is putting together several "Supercomputer On A
CD" distros so these clusters will become more common and the
knowledge of how to put them together and keep them tuned up will be
within the reach of every highschool science club.
This is the territory Bill is aching about getting in to and Linux
is here first and widening the gap. I would let someone else show
him this list if I were you, he has been known to spit and throw
things when he is unhappy.
