That, I believe, is the result of someone listening to too many marketing people / PHBs / sales drones / etc. It turns your brains to so much grey goop.

The WTF'ery is strong with this one!
As I said earlier (but it seems to have been lost from the quote tree) it works perfectly in IE7. In Firefox the inner divs are outside their parents and the text overflows the quote box it's supposed to be in, but in IE7 it's all fine.
I can't believe IE7 wins at something.
You're Winner!
Interesting... The / me is broken
I'll try it here: /me says that this is a test
On Opera the post grows a horizontal scrollbarThe / me thing is strange...
Yeah, I noticed the scroll bar - I guess the whole post is inside a div with a style of "overflow: auto" (although I haven't checked this)
And yeah, the /me thing is definitely strange... I'm not sure whether it's a bug, or a "feature" (don't process /me on posts with lots of quotes?)I suspect that the code carefully avoids expanding /me in quoted text, but gets confused by huge quote depths and gives up!
Ok, I'll join in. IE7 Grows a horizontal scroll bar as well. The only side effect seems to be putting text as one word per line on the innermost quotes.
What happen?
Somebody set us up the quote.
How are you gentlemen?
All your browser are belong to us.
:P
lol, that had to come.
Current number of HTML tags: 5830 (reset by the page break) Come on people, we got to break 10000!
By the way I get a blank screen on firefox once I scrolled down enough. The screen returns when I release the scroll button. Anyone else with that effect?
I get that, but I have to refresh the page before I get my screen back. And all of my innermost quotes are un-nested and off the right side of the page. I think Firefox really has lost this competition.
I got the same here. Then again, the forum software is a WTF (as we all know), so that doesn't mean much.
Ooh, can I spam too?
Yes, indeed you can.

Thanks whoever posted the http://rinkworks.com/stupid/cs_programming.shtml link... It's quite funny :)
Has anyone seen this topic zoomed out to 20% in Opera? I didn't realise that there was this many replies :P:Ouch. I can't see all of that: FF2 insists on restricting the overall layout to window-width, so most of that is off to the right. It looks pretty stupid (well, more stupid) on the minimum text size, and still scrolls off to the side. I wonder how many more replies before it hits a megabyte (currently on 183K) for one page, or causes serious errors (stack overflow anyone?)?
I think we've hit FF2's nested tags limit, the inner quotes are all empty now. No "Infinite Cats Project" in the middle :-(
No, they're not empty. they've just been pushed off the edge of the screen.
It's just that the post is that huge that by the time you reach the horizontal scroolbar, the bit you wanted to scroll through has disappeared upwards.
But, anyway, this is getting slightly mad now. It takes me damn near five minutes to scroll down the page. :p
BTW: ~244.7Kb
Thief^: How did you miss the horizontal scrollbar? You can scroll across and look at the center quotes, but the original doesn't show (it was a link to the infinite cats project). A view source shows that the text is still there, just FF won't parse that deep.
EDIT: Ok, now it's broken, the open quote and close quote tags aren't matching up, people are getting credited with the wrong posts and my post is outside the post frame.
Random832: View selection source (which generates source based on the DOM tree) still shows the original text (which hasn't been a link for quite some time even in posts where it is visible, but the text "infinite cats project" shows), so it's still being parsed. There may be some nested box limit, have we reached some magic number of quote levels recently?
So we've reached a magic limit, but havn't broke anything.
DAMN...
I wonder how much more it would take to completely bring firefox to it's knees?
Ok, new challenge. A cookie to the person who manages to get this thread to blow up my browser.

T'aint broken yet (much.) (I wonder how bad it's going to be when I get back in a week? )
There's only one way to find out...
I'm baaaa-aack! And it's still working. (Well, working as well as an infinite quotes project can be expected to.)
It's taking me quite a while to scroll down the page now, though. I'm not quite sure how big the page is, but I'll find out soon enough.
EDIT: 631.5KB
Yes, I know I seem to be pretty much the only person keeping this thread alive now, and I'm going to give up soon.
No, you mustn't give up the fight!
This was an entertaining thread...
hey whats up with the source code and the "fail" line

I'm in.
Whoo! Another one joins the ranks!
^^
close to 800kb. Does the software separate posts on different pages by # of posts or by page size...
probably number of posts?
still dont understand what the ^fail is all about?
The ^fail is from where someone added it to the begining of their post to poke fun at the person before who quoted the last post on the first page instead of the real last post. Like I have, just now.
More crazy statistics: According to Firefox' Print Preview, this third page of the thread would be 683 pages long if printed out...
Anyone have some spare paper?
Using "IE Tab" in FF2 seems to correctly bring up the IE7 print preview. Unfortunately, IE's version of the page is even longer, at 884 pages...
EDIT: In IE's print-preview most of the pages are mostly blank, eg page 400 just has "lol" in the bottom-right corner.
IE has probably taken the correct width of the page into account - which you will encounter if you scroll the bottom scrollbar (not the one below each post) to the right...

No, they're not empty. they've just been pushed off the edge of the screen.
It's just that the post is that huge that by the time you reach the horizontal scroolbar, the bit you wanted to scroll through has disappeared upwards.
But, anyway, this is getting slightly mad now. It takes me damn near five minutes to scroll down the page. :p
BTW: ~244.7Kb
Thief^: How did you miss the horizontal scrollbar? You can scroll across and look at the center quotes, but the original doesn't show (it was a link to the infinite cats project). A view source shows that the text is still there, just FF won't parse that deep.
EDIT: Ok, now it's broken, the open quote and close quote tags aren't matching up, people are getting credited with the wrong posts and my post is outside the post frame.
Random832: View selection source (which generates source based on the DOM tree) still shows the original text (which hasn't been a link for quite some time even in posts where it is visible, but the text "infinite cats project" shows), so it's still being parsed. There may be some nested box limit, have we reached some magic number of quote levels recently?
So we've reached a magic limit, but havn't broke anything.
DAMN...

I'm baaaa-aack! And it's still working. (Well, working as well as an infinite quotes project can be expected to.)
It's taking me quite a while to scroll down the page now, though. I'm not quite sure how big the page is, but I'll find out soon enough.

The WTF'ery is strong with this one!
As I said earlier (but it seems to have been lost from the quote tree) it works perfectly in IE7. In Firefox the inner divs are outside their parents and the text overflows the quote box it's supposed to be in, but in IE7 it's all fine.
I can't believe IE7 wins at something.
You're Winner!
Interesting... The / me is broken
I'll try it here: /me says that this is a test
On Opera the post grows a horizontal scrollbarThe / me thing is strange...
Yeah, I noticed the scroll bar - I guess the whole post is inside a div with a style of "overflow: auto" (although I haven't checked this)
And yeah, the /me thing is definitely strange... I'm not sure whether it's a bug, or a "feature" (don't process /me on posts with lots of quotes?)I suspect that the code carefully avoids expanding /me in quoted text, but gets confused by huge quote depths and gives up!
Ok, I'll join in. IE7 Grows a horizontal scroll bar as well. The only side effect seems to be putting text as one word per line on the innermost quotes.
What happen?
Somebody set us up the quote.
How are you gentlemen?
All your browser are belong to us.
:P
lol, that had to come.
Current number of HTML tags: 5830 (reset by the page break) Come on people, we got to break 10000!
By the way I get a blank screen on firefox once I scrolled down enough. The screen returns when I release the scroll button. Anyone else with that effect?
I get that, but I have to refresh the page before I get my screen back. And all of my innermost quotes are un-nested and off the right side of the page. I think Firefox really has lost this competition.
I got the same here. Then again, the forum software is a WTF (as we all know), so that doesn't mean much.
Ooh, can I spam too?
Yes, indeed you can.
You have no chance to render make your time.
Take off every 'Div'.

I think it's using <blockquote>s for the quotes, not <div>s :) (I haven't checked, though).

I think we've hit FF2's nested tags limit, the inner quotes are all empty now. No "Infinite Cats Project" in the middle :-(
No, they're not empty. they've just been pushed off the edge of the screen.
It's just that the post is that huge that by the time you reach the horizontal scroolbar, the bit you wanted to scroll through has disappeared upwards.
But, anyway, this is getting slightly mad now. It takes me damn near five minutes to scroll down the page. :p
BTW: ~244.7Kb
Thief^: How did you miss the horizontal scrollbar? You can scroll across and look at the center quotes, but the original doesn't show (it was a link to the infinite cats project). A view source shows that the text is still there, just FF won't parse that deep.
EDIT: Ok, now it's broken, the open quote and close quote tags aren't matching up, people are getting credited with the wrong posts and my post is outside the post frame.
Random832: View selection source (which generates source based on the DOM tree) still shows the original text (which hasn't been a link for quite some time even in posts where it is visible, but the text "infinite cats project" shows), so it's still being parsed. There may be some nested box limit, have we reached some magic number of quote levels recently?
So we've reached a magic limit, but havn't broke anything.
DAMN...

Lost the quote. Readded it in edit.
The WTF'ery is strong with this one!
As I said earlier (but it seems to have been lost from the quote tree) it works perfectly in IE7. In Firefox the inner divs are outside their parents and the text overflows the quote box it's supposed to be in, but in IE7 it's all fine.
I can't believe IE7 wins at something.
You're Winner!
Interesting... The / me is broken
I'll try it here: /me says that this is a test
On Opera the post grows a horizontal scrollbarThe / me thing is strange...
Yeah, I noticed the scroll bar - I guess the whole post is inside a div with a style of "overflow: auto" (although I haven't checked this)
And yeah, the /me thing is definitely strange... I'm not sure whether it's a bug, or a "feature" (don't process /me on posts with lots of quotes?)I suspect that the code carefully avoids expanding /me in quoted text, but gets confused by huge quote depths and gives up!
Ok, I'll join in. IE7 Grows a horizontal scroll bar as well. The only side effect seems to be putting text as one word per line on the innermost quotes.
What happen?
Somebody set us up the quote.
How are you gentlemen?
All your browser are belong to us.
:P
lol, that had to come.
Current number of HTML tags: 5830 (reset by the page break) Come on people, we got to break 10000!
By the way I get a blank screen on firefox once I scrolled down enough. The screen returns when I release the scroll button. Anyone else with that effect?
I get that, but I have to refresh the page before I get my screen back. And all of my innermost quotes are un-nested and off the right side of the page. I think Firefox really has lost this competition.
I got the same here. Then again, the forum software is a WTF (as we all know), so that doesn't mean much.
Ooh, can I spam too?
Yes, indeed you can.
You have no chance to render make your time.
Take off every 'Div'.
You know what you doing?
Move 'Div'.
For great W3C.
I think it's using <blockquote>s for the quotes, not <div>s :) (I haven't checked, though).
Anyways... This page is almost 400 KB, and there's 4535 validation errors :o
Result: Failed validation, 6147 errors
I'm not sure how big the page is now, in terms of KB or HTML tags, but 'it's beginning to slow my browser down just a little bit.Firefox's page info reports that we've hit half a MB...
This is madness, Madness I tells you!!
BTW: that composite image I mentioned further up the page: 1178 x 5479 (126 kb)... Abandon hope, all ye who load it. http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t293/James_Penk/WTF_Composite.png
11995 HTML tags! We got a breakthrough!
Also kudos for that image. I have a new desktop background now...
Your welcome.
BTW: Did you rotate the image and have a stupidly wide monitor, or do you have a stupidly tall monitor and leave the image in it's original orientation?
(I have a vision of a monitor so large it takes up an *entire* wall. :) )

(from Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing)The page is starting to F up my Linux laptop, keep going!
This page is making my PC work overtime on rendering the page.. I know this because every time I click the link, my cooling fans scream into overdrive and I go deaf.
Keep up the {good|bad|ugly} work.
(Yes, I know I'm not funny, but I'm typing this at 0525H. and I haven't had a cuppa yet.)
It stopped, finally!
It's long past broken on my computer (FF2 at 1280x800). Firebug won't show the innermost levels of this pile of replies, it gives up somewhere in the middle, just showing < </> instead of the tags that should be there.
FF2 is still going strong for me.
http://rinkworks.com/stupid/cs_programming.shtml
@That page said:
/* This function is BOOL but actually returns TRUE,
FALSE and -2 because I've no time to change it

Pffft... They should return File_Not_Found instead of -2
I believe we finally know the numeric value of FILE_NOT_FOUND

Has anyone seen this topic zoomed out to 20% in Opera? I didn't realise that there was this many replies :P:Ouch. I can't see all of that: FF2 insists on restricting the overall layout to window-width, so most of that is off to the right. It looks pretty stupid (well, more stupid) on the minimum text size, and still scrolls off to the side. I wonder how many more replies before it hits a megabyte (currently on 183K) for one page, or causes serious errors (stack overflow anyone?)?

The WTF'ery is strong with this one!
As I said earlier (but it seems to have been lost from the quote tree) it works perfectly in IE7. In Firefox the inner divs are outside their parents and the text overflows the quote box it's supposed to be in, but in IE7 it's all fine.
I can't believe IE7 wins at something.
You're Winner!
Interesting... The / me is broken
I'll try it here: /me says that this is a test
On Opera the post grows a horizontal scrollbarThe / me thing is strange...
Yeah, I noticed the scroll bar - I guess the whole post is inside a div with a style of "overflow: auto" (although I haven't checked this)
And yeah, the /me thing is definitely strange... I'm not sure whether it's a bug, or a "feature" (don't process /me on posts with lots of quotes?)I suspect that the code carefully avoids expanding /me in quoted text, but gets confused by huge quote depths and gives up!
Ok, I'll join in. IE7 Grows a horizontal scroll bar as well. The only side effect seems to be putting text as one word per line on the innermost quotes.
What happen?
Somebody set us up the quote.
How are you gentlemen?
All your browser are belong to us.
:P
lol, that had to come.
Current number of HTML tags: 5830 (reset by the page break) Come on people, we got to break 10000!
By the way I get a blank screen on firefox once I scrolled down enough. The screen returns when I release the scroll button. Anyone else with that effect?
I get that, but I have to refresh the page before I get my screen back. And all of my innermost quotes are un-nested and off the right side of the page. I think Firefox really has lost this competition.
I got the same here. Then again, the forum software is a WTF (as we all know), so that doesn't mean much.
Ooh, can I spam too?
Yes, indeed you can.
You have no chance to render make your time.
Take off every 'Div'.

For great W3C.
I think it's using <blockquote>s for the quotes, not <div>s :) (I haven't checked, though).
Anyways... This page is almost 400 KB, and there's 4535 validation errors :o
Result: Failed validation, 6147 errors
I'm not sure how big the page is now, in terms of KB or HTML tags, but 'it's beginning to slow my browser down just a little bit.Firefox's page info reports that we've hit half a MB...
This is madness, Madness I tells you!!
BTW: that composite image I mentioned further up the page: 1178 x 5479 (126 kb)... Abandon hope, all ye who load it. http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t293/James_Penk/WTF_Composite.png
11995 HTML tags! We got a breakthrough!
Also kudos for that image. I have a new desktop background now...
Your welcome.
BTW: Did you rotate the image and have a stupidly wide monitor, or do you have a stupidly tall monitor and leave the image in it's original orientation?
(I have a vision of a monitor so large it takes up an *entire* wall. :) )

(from Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing)The page is starting to F up my Linux laptop, keep going!
This page is making my PC work overtime on rendering the page.. I know this because every time I click the link, my cooling fans scream into overdrive and I go deaf.

It stopped, finally!
It's long past broken on my computer (FF2 at 1280x800). Firebug won't show the innermost levels of this pile of replies, it gives up somewhere in the middle, just showing < </> instead of the tags that should be there.
FF2 is still going strong for me.

@That page said:
/* This function is BOOL but actually returns TRUE,
FALSE and -2 because I've no time to change it

Pffft... They should return File_Not_Found instead of -2
I believe we finally know the numeric value of FILE_NOT_FOUND

- Boss: "What's wrong with you people? You make programming more difficult than it needs to be. I have Frontpage Express to write web pages with, and when I write code with it, I never need to debug it. If you were as good of a programmer as me, you'd never need to debug either."
- When I was studying programming, one of my classmates was having serious troubles with his program. When he asked me for help, I leaned over his screen and saw all of his code in comments. The reason: "Well, it compiles much faster that way."
"Hey! I hate these Microsoft guys! What a rotten compiler! It only accepts 16,384 local variables in a function!"
Thanks whoever posted the http://rinkworks.com/stupid/cs_programming.shtml link... It's quite funny :)
Has anyone seen this topic zoomed out to 20% in Opera? I didn't realise that there was this many replies :P:
Ouch. I can't see all of that: FF2 insists on restricting the overall layout to window-width, so most of that is off to the right. It looks pretty stupid (well, more stupid) on the minimum text size, and still scrolls off to the side. I wonder how many more replies before it hits a megabyte (currently on 183K) for one page, or causes serious errors (stack overflow anyone?)?
[/quote]
I think we've hit FF2's nested tags limit, the inner quotes are all empty now. No "Infinite Cats Project" in the middle :-(
[/quote]
No, they're not empty. they've just been pushed off the edge of the screen.
It's just that the post is that huge that by the time you reach the horizontal scroolbar, the bit you wanted to scroll through has disappeared upwards.
But, anyway, this is getting slightly mad now. It takes me damn near five minutes to scroll down the page. :p
BTW: ~244.7Kb

It might be possible to do. He could spend billions of dollars building (or stealing) a farm of equipment that, if he's lucky, could break the encryption. He'd probably have an issue with his power company.
Or, he could write a distributed processing app to do the same thing, and put it on the web. If it's like the SETI@Home thing, then plenty of people would install it to burn up their excess processing power. You just have to lie to them about what it's actually computing.
So, no worries about the electricity bills (apart from the server where the clients 'call home' or whatever it is they do) and if he's clever enough, no worries about getting caught.(almost)
I mean, it'll probably take just as long (if not longer), but it's more interesting. Until the clients find out what you are actually using their spare CPU time for.
For years, I always thought that government was supposed to represent the people. Obviously I was wrong.
Britain is turning more and more into a police state. I read 'nineteen eighty-four' (Orwell) and I gave it some thought and realised just how close this was to reality. In Orwell's Oceania, the Party use the constant fear of the war and the bombs to keep the people terrified and ignorant. They continually waste resources to prevent the people (other than the inner party) from becoming too well educated and questioning the Party's actions. And anyone who starts asking questions suddenly never existed.
The British government is using the 'war on terror'* as an excuse to push through legislation to 'protect us from the terorist threat'. If you look back through history you will see that Hitler did roughly the same thing. He had the Reichstag approve the 'enabling law' that made them all redundant, as the enabling law allowed him [Hitler] to pass any law he wanted. I wonder how close our respective 'leaders' are to doing that? And, of course, anyone who tries to see through these laws is either ignored or, if they are making too much of a fuss, escorted away. (For example, the 80-year old (I think) Jewish man who complained about something the New Labour party said, so they threw him out of the conference.) Our freedoms are being trampled on, and we're letting them do it.
"You want to see a vision of the future? Picture a boot heel grinding the face of humanity into the dust for all eternity."
* War on terror my ass. The government and people in power are saying that they do not want to let the 'terrorists' disrupt our lives. Well, what are the governments doing? You can't take a bottle of water on a plane because you'll blow up the plane with the magic liquid explosive in the bottle. etcetera.
The act of terrorism is to spread fear and panic. Which is what the governments are doing. This makes the governments the terrorists. <sarcasm_level='very high'>But of course, the governments can't be terrorists, they're protecting us from the nasty {communists|hippies|muslims|iracqies|FILE_NOT_FOUND}</sarcasm>
Ah, I think I'm going to go now, I can hear someone knocking at the door.

@tster said:@DOA said:@asuffield said:@DOA said:@asuffield said:@DOA said:So I enabled it only to be told that I cant log in to the GUI as root (WTF!).
It is really stupid to run your window manager as root, and pound-me-in-the-arse stupid to run firefox as root.
Or I could do it your way and type my password EVERY SINGLE TIME I need to update a library.
One of us knows how to configure sudo. I think I know which one it is.
And one of us doesn't want to. He just wants his OS to shut up and do what it's told like the old redhat and mandrake days. If I want to run software as root that will destroy my HDD, erase the bios and make my screen explode in a million lethal shards, that is my problem.
I don't want to spend my time configuring a supposedly user-friendly version of linux. I want it to accept the fact that as a root user I know wth I'm doing. And to answer all the concerns I've heard about using the GUI as root, I should point out that this was on an ancient, useless, expendable P400 system that I was messing around with as an experiment. Even if I managed to catch a linux virus from ubuntu's site (!) that managed to render the machine irreversibly damaged (!), then so be it. I'm fully aware of the risks, I just need Ubuntu to stop trying to help and do what it's told. Like I said, if I needed help, I'd be using Windows.
On a side note I'd like to thank people that tried to help as opposed to the ones trying to prove their superiority by just calling my approach stupid.
stopping a user from accidentally doing something damaging or running programs that have to much control for no reason is actually a pretty huge usability feature. If Microsoft could figure out a way to stop 90% of malware infections they would be overjoyed to advertise all over their box. If you wanted complete control over everything in your system and for it to just accept you as god of all creation why the fuck are you using ubuntu? You do realize that that distro was not created for that type of use.... right?
But I'm not using Ubuntu, it got the boot after I found out it wasn't for me. I had no idea of this "feature" when I first installed it. It's not like they advertise it in bold letters on their site and I'm not going through a whole book about an OS before I try it. The whole point of my original post is that at least to me, a linux system that doesn't accept the root user as god was a new (and wtf-worthy) concept. After spending years working with an OS that has no problem letting you tweak its own kernel, locking root out of the GUI by default was really strange to me.
I suppose it's trying to stop Ubuntu from becoming the next XP. You know, with everybody logging in as root (or administrator) becaues it's more convenient for them.

I generally have a typing style in which I use on both IM/IRC as I do on messageboards and mailing-lists, I flow my sentences as to force the reader to parse the data when I want them to. However, I don't go ape with this, I try to add pauses to allow readers to parse my posts correctly and have the data in their minds structured properly. If I want to pause a post to have the reader parse before I continue,
I generally use double-hyphens in the form of "--", that usually means relevant/important information is ahead and to parse before proceeding otherwise you may miss a point. I myself try to only use characters in posts that can be found on a standard QWERTY keyboard to prevent problems with character sets.
As for what I hate/can't stand in posts, here's some pet peeves of mine (I put up with them tentively):
- Abuse of apostrophies/commas
- Use of "magic quotes" or any other special characters in a medium that ends up breaking something (This one is to you, Microsoft)
- Walls of text that look like someone took an encyclopedia and removed all of the linebreaks
- Run-on sentences that don'r have any purpose of being run-on
- Abuse of punctuation (If you want to annoy me, post with "............" between your sentences)
- Those who use "u", "r" and "h8" instead of "you", "are" and "hate" (I will put up with it, but if you make your entire sentences while messaging me like this all the time, I may ask you to stop)
-- IM-style posting (posting a very short one-liner that has no content value does the community you're posting to no good, don't just write "I like it" -- State why you like whatever you're commenting on as well.)
- Long lead-ins (Get to the point of whatever you're posting about, don't dance around and make everyone feel like you're giving a long history lesson on the subject)
- Abuse of smilies (For the love of all that is good, don't post 4+ Smilies in ONE post, it makes you look like a twit)
- Too many levels of quotes then proceeding to bottom-post (We don't need to know what the person 6 posts back said to the OP in a 7 post thread, just quote one or two levels back already, people can read back into the thread if there's something they wish to see)
Now, this list may be long, However, don't think I'll bash your posting technique, just make sure your posts are READABLE and I more than likely leave you alone on the subject.

11995 HTML tags! We got a breakthrough!
Also kudos for that image. I have a new desktop background now...
Your welcome.
BTW: Did you rotate the image and have a stupidly wide monitor, or do you have a stupidly tall monitor and leave the image in it's original orientation?
(I have a vision of a monitor so large it takes up an entire wall. :) )
I'll add to it.Posting in a legendary thread.

As I said earlier (but it seems to have been lost from the quote tree) it works perfectly in IE7. In Firefox the inner divs are outside their parents and the text overflows the quote box it's supposed to be in, but in IE7 it's all fine.

Yeah, I noticed the scroll bar - I guess the whole post is inside a div with a style of "overflow: auto" (although I haven't checked this)
And yeah, the /me thing is definitely strange... I'm not sure whether it's a bug, or a "feature" (don't process /me on posts with lots of quotes?)I suspect that the code carefully avoids expanding /me in quoted text, but gets confused by huge quote depths and gives up!

I get that, but I have to refresh the page before I get my screen back. And all of my innermost quotes are un-nested and off the right side of the page. I think Firefox really has lost this competition.
I got the same here. Then again, the forum software is a WTF (as we all know), so that doesn't mean much.

well, the innermost quote box will eventually need to shrink to zero size.

Oh, some of these are good:
96. Access your desktop wherever you go
Yeah... been done, for a long while. Remote Desktop, VNC, ssh with X forwarding, etc.
|
Nice... But mine can do that as well. English, Deutsch.
|
Nice... Ever heard of something called Akregator?
|
Pretty much [b]all[/b] PCs are capable of hibernate or standby.
61. Stand strong against hackers
Ah yes... the Windows Screen door, with advanced opportunities to screw up.
|
Ever heard of folders? And being organised?
|
Firefox has had tabbed browsing for a while, so has Opera.
44. Because you have a need for speed
Simply let Windows chew up [b]even more[/b] memory.
|
Thumbnails, anyone?
|
Uh huh... 'Click here to buy buy buy software to remove that pesky spyware.'
26. Because you're a multitasker
Like I said before, Firefox, et al, have tabbed browsing. Also, most *nix PCs have more than one desktop at the same time, so you can work on even more.
25. It works with the software, hardware, and services you want
Except if it doesn't think it's 'secure' enough, because then it'll disable it.
24. Because you don't want to worry about spyware
No, don't worry about the fact that your new PC is being used to send V!@gra spam to everybody, they won't mind.

What? They're giving you chocolate now? Great!
22. See everything you're working on at a glance
Taskbar? Hm?
18. Create your own personal archive
$ tar -cvvf backup.tar home/
$ gzip -r9 backup.tar
13. Because you need to know who the bad guys are
Yes, the consumers. And anyone not drinking the Microsoft Kool-Aid.
6. Because you're always on the run
from the draconian Anti-pirate people, just because you wanted to watch that DVD you bought.
5. It can find your stuff
$ locate stuff
|
Yeah... I'll believe that when I see it.
Any questions?

I thought they did that already. Although I believe they are called "traffic accidents".Assume that I'm referring to cars which randomly and violently explode when you sit in them and close the door, for no apparent reason.
Ah, now I understand:- Microsoft cars!
