  1. Re: Breakup into three companies? by Royster · · Score: 1 · on MS breakup will cost $30 billion?

    From a March NYT article on possible settlements: Another idea is to break the company into three equal parts, each of which would have complete copies of Microsoft's source code and intellectual property. They then would begin competing with each other. One problem with this idea is deciding which company would get Gates.

    The complete article is here.

    In this article at the New York times, 8 students from Columbine talk about the shooting. Here's an excerpt:
    Q. What about the Nazi stuff?

    MEG That is the biggest load of [expletive] I've ever heard. They never wore swastikas around their arm. Never. Not in this entire year that I've known them. No.

    DEVON They're not Nazis. They didn't worship Nazis. Some kid said, "Oh I saw them reading a book on Nazis." They read books on Nazis because, guess what they were learning about in World History? They were learning about the Nazis.

    DUSTIN Everyone said that they saluted to Hitler after a strike in bowling and stuff. That wasn't true. If they got a strike, they would just sit down.

    Mr. Katz, you've written some great articles before, but wow. I think you said it all right there.
    Mr Katz said that his earlier articles have been spread, yes? Let's do it some more! Everybody who's willing, I say take this article of Katz's and email it to EVERYONE YOU KNOW.
    Go on Websites of newspapers and email the article to editors. Email this article to your Senators and House Reps.
    Send this article to The President, The Vice President.
    Send it to CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times.

    The point is, spread it around! We've seen the slashdot effect with servers, yes? Well, the only person to experiance a Slashdot effect with email has been Mr. Katz, which hardly seems fair. Get the word out! If enough people have the truth shoved in their faces, they have to listen to reason.
    And let's all do it before it's too late for our little version of reality. I like being a geek. At this point in my life, I don't think I could start over.

  5. We all know he's right, now tell the media. by rjrjr · · Score: 1 · on Voices From The Hellmouth

    Hey, folks. We're the choir. We accomplish nothing by preaching to each other of our personal hells. We've all been there. We all know.

    Bring Jon's article to the attention of the mainstream press. E.g., you can reach the editors of the New York Times at letters@nytimes.com

  6. Old Flame? by Chris+Siegler · · Score: 1 · on Star Wars Retrospective in NY Times

    Ok, I just read the review of Empire Strikes Back. I can't believe he hated it! He gave a glowing review to Star Wars too.

    Now, what I'm wondering is, is it still within the realm of common decency to send him a little email about what I think of his review?

    I better read his review of Jedi first I guess...

  8. Matt Drudge, Goats and The NY Times by Evan+Vetere · · Score: 1 · on Announcing Customizable Slashdot

    First off, fabulous job rob. This is amazing. You're the closest thing I'll ever have to a home page.

    Now, the suggestions: The following sites are just begging to be added.

    1. Matt Drudge - The Internet Muckraker's headlines would be great. Find out when the President next rapes someone, right here on Slashdot.
    2. Goats - Funniest comic on the Web. Not sure how to encapsulate it though... a comic strip's a bit big to put on the frontpage.
    3. The NY Times Op-Ed Page - The latest articles from the NY Times would be another great addition.

    I look forward to the day when I can take the above sites off 'Evan Vetere's SLashbox'.

  9. So buy an ACER then! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Compaq Kills Off Online Competition

    Funny, just before I read this I tripped over this article about Acer stopping in-store sales in favor of internet-only retailing.

    nytimes user/pw : cypherpunks/cypherpunks still works.

    Bleh. Funny that these two companies have such diametrically opposed views of internet retailing...

  10. Impartial? ...huh... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Why Netscape shows ? instead of '
    Dude, if you want unbiased editorial content, go somewhere else. I read Slashdot partialy because they post some cool opinions and stuff. I dig reading it, they seem to like posting it. If you don't... bye.

    Some other news sites that you may like:

    Oh, and since when is Slashdot a news portal? Slashdot is News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters. Don't try to kludge that into some mainstream media website classification... jeeze..
