Slashdot Mirror

over 100 million users of AIM and you say, AOL won't be there during a holiday? What if someone started exploiting that (or a different hole) over the holidays?
Furrfu!

See also the Full Disclosure Policy (RFPolicy) v2.0 which is followed by many bugtraq users. Note that 5 work days would mean that the report would have been made around 2001-12-20, at least in my locale.

A windowsy (humourous) look at the issue of disclosure can be seen here.

It's not a PDA or a giant robot that's going to be revealed at the expo. Finally Apple will be taking the wraps off the next generation dMac. There's pictures on this site an everything.

I want to get laid and have hundred's of women follow me where ever i go We all have dreams. Sitting in a cube for 12 hours a day, with only artificial sunlight won't help. Don't you remeber the last time it happened?

I was to be part of numerous stereotypes that are geeks everywhere You can be a part of this in any job. It's not software people only.

I want to be able to use bad grammer and not have to read what i write. Two things.
1- See above
2- Welcome to Slashdot

You never know ...

Why does this remind me of AMD's GiggaHertz(TM) lark?

On a more serious note though, I can't say I've ever heard of an official name for the base2 metric, however I remember there was some confusion a while ago about hard disk capacity... marketing weenies using one base and BIOS diagnostics displaying the other.... having said that of course these units just sound a bit lame anyway, perhaps we ought to come up with something, if nothing else, a little less ambiguous...

Apparently the former.

i can give you many examples. here is one. also, this guy told me he used linux. and last but not least i use linux. any more proof needed?

not a problem. i can give you many examples. here is one. also, this guy told me he used linux. and last but not least i use linux. any more proof needed?

This isn't the first time that Microsoft has lied about XP.

The bad thing about this is that people will only see the Microsoft lies and not the rebuttals by Lineo and Redhat. The people here on Slashdot already know this about MS, but the rest of the public doesn't. That's what billions of dollars of marketing dollars will buy you.

>How may we cool it while still keeping the rest of the house toasty warm on a cold Canadian night (without opening a window)"

This is almost funny

Actually, Sun has adopted Passport after Microsoft adopted Liberty Alliance. And if you believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you...

• BBspot (11): Tell us why you're doing WilWheaton.net and about future plans for you and the site?
  
  

  Wil: It's all part of my Bavarian Illuminatti-driven plot to rule the world. Now that you've read that, we're coming for you with our Orbital Mind Control Lasers.

Here are some other dangerous toys that didn't make that list.

Y dont u read BBspot in the morning and get these stories alot earlier

In other news, the new Slash Content Generator is tested on the main slashdot site.

C'mon. You gotta admit at least some of these stories seem like they were pulled from that site :-)

I prefer this design.

What a way to Rip Off BBSPOT Interviews and articles(Serveral hours later) What ru going to call the site Slashspot.org!! HAHAHA... For NEWER news check out BBSPOT NEWS Give a little Credit where credit is diservered. All the Sites Founder Brian Briggs had to say was, "Its a Sad day for Open Source when something as Attroicious as this can occur. Bill Gate would be Happy."

Wow, this thing is amazing! Here's the story it generated for me:

I was surprised to learn that Albert Einstien had an early hadn in teh development of Donkey Kong. Now if only Donkey Kong could help me with annhilating Microsoft." Good read.

Far fetched and completely believable as a /. story. Kudos to BBspot.

Overclocker Creates Rift in Space-Time Continuum

this story sounds like it came right out of the Slashdot Story Generator

... but relevant

Someone should start a petition to bring back Wil Wheaton for this ST:TNG movie. Reading this interview [slashdot.org] gave me a much better impression of him.
Plus, he played for EFF [slashdot.org] on The Weakest Link!


I liked the BBSpot.com interview much more. The kid has a sharp sense of humor.

BBspot (5): Did you feel like your character suffered from an Oedipus complex in Star Trek:The Next Generation? I mean, your mom was really hot, and your dad died under cloudy circumstances.

Wil: When Wesley's dad died, Wesley was so traumatized, he had to spend many, many nights sleeping in Dr. Crusher's quarters...and the therapeutic sponge baths really helped with the grieving process. Oh, and the oral sex.

Some may be offended, but there's a big fanfic obsession of hot Wesley/Momma boinking and he slyly hit that nail firmly.

Will AMD respond with a new rating system?

Hey, its a repeat, but everyone go here and find it amusing and concede. We all have different beliefs, and this is a harse environment to evangalize either side. There's no possible way to switch a christians mind, because whatever proof you have against god, is nothing more than a "test of faith", and its equally as hard to switch aethiests, cause they always have to ask for proof (although switching either side IS possible, its just down-right tough).

I try to sit semi in the middle. I am a christian, but I love science and believe they can co-exist. Keeping an open mind does cause conflicts, but I don't let them cloud my mind.

Oh, and this *is* off topic, but I got plenty of karma :-P

Allow me to point this conversation (both sides) to bbspot. I'm sure we'll all find it humorous, and admit that the conversation is going nowhere....

Given their cozy relationship they'll probably want to use Microsoft's latest server which is the only one proven unhackable.

That's a good one, let's add it to the Slashdot story generator.

You should have pre-ordered them, but you can still get in line to get your XBox Bundles.

...stories like this one wouldn't be so funny anymore.

I think BBSpot gave us a glimpse of the future this will lead to with this review of a new video card.

It has much better features

...Linux may well be a threat to M$, but according to this article, a bug in Microsoft's new operating system could lead to actual physical harm of its users.

Here are some other xbox bundles that Slashdotters may want to take a look at.

Here's a different look at Microsoft's future.

Next you know we'll be seeing ... MSArmy

Microsoft is one step ahead of you there. Check out this article on Microsoft's Army.

Maybe this is your way back to happiness.

On the whole Micrsoft Monopoly crap, I think the most insightful thing I've read is this article.

The last paragraph says it all particularly well.

Here is another look at the settlement. I think this view is closer to the truth.

Here's a Top 11 list with explanations for XP.

I have to tell you all, I was playing this and thank God it crashed... I don't know if you all know about this new ActiveDeath technology.

Also don't forget that you can preorder units now

BBSpot had an article about a similar scheme....

Check out The record industry's newest copy protection scheme. ;)

"Oh, and I'm running Windows 2000, because I'm too lame for Linux. But some day...oh, some day I will learn Linux, and then, from Hell's dark heart I will stab at thee!"

So for the uninformed, CmdrTaco is a dick. And the above interview is inclined to be far more informative and funny than anything that will appear here. Go read it.

According to the log it's for real. Wil has even admitted to it.
