As long as there is emacs, there will always be a LISP.

But if they kill Flash, how will we get our fill of Newgrounds and Homestar Runner?

Now all I have to do is get my mother, father, wife, and all of my friends to actually email me instead of sending me messages on Facebook. Except for work, nobody I know uses email anymore to send personal letters.

A fan on the HR Wiki created a Greasemonkey script that adds a pause button, fast forward/rewind functions, subtitles, and a bunch of other goodies to the Homestar Runner cartoons. It makes watching them so much easier. It also makes it much easier to find the easter eggs. I am not involved with this script in any way, I just think it's cool.

The cartoons were all made by Mike and Matt Chapman by themselves in Flash, and Matt and Mike's wife Missy did all of the voices. If they sold off the IP to anyone else, it would be completely different. I don't think it would be Homestar at all.

Just so long as they don't bring Homestar Runner back as a gritty reboot

It makes the prequels more palatable to me to imagine that they are actually prequels to Spaceballs instead of the original Star Wars movies. Have you ever noticed that Rick Moranis and Hayden Christiansen have a similar Canadian accent?

I agree, Little Snitch is an awesome program, but sadly, it's for Mac OS X only. Not very helpful to the original poster, who is running Linux.

Judging from the large amount of post-apocalyptic movies and books that are currently popular, I'd say the end of the world is fast approaching.

The baristas at Silicon Valley Starbucks usually commute long distances from lower-income and even more crime-ridden areas such as Stockton and Merced. No telecommute option for them.

Only a matter of time before RMS browbeats them into calling it "GNU/Linux Format"...

No problem! All they need to do is release some of their Virtual Console NES games onto the Wii disk format, and then the retro nerds will buy them all over again! It has so far worked for Sega, who I think has now put their Genesis back catalog on every device known to existence.

I don't know; I think Mr. Harley and Mr. Davidson did pretty well by that concept.

My 386 back in the day booted to an OS (albeit MS-DOS) in about ten seconds, had an excellent (IBM Model M) input device, and ran numerous productivity and games software pretty quickly and seldom ever crashed. And the only virus it got, I think, was that stupid prank that turned your screen upside down. I think I wouldn't mind an ARM tablet with similar qualifications :)

I dunno, it took me three tries to get my license in California, and I'd been playing racing games for most of my childhood. Maybe it had something to do with trying to parallel park via drifting...
