Hugo Award Voting Open
FortKnox writes "This is from SciFi Storm:
It's time for the Hugo Award (Best in Science Fiction) nominations and voting for 2001. You can vote if you get at least a Supporting Membership in The Millennium Philcon or ConJosé (location of worldcon). I haven't read much current SciFi (still working on some Heinlein works), but some of the /. readers might be interested in putting in their opinions."
I win!
oh no, more scifi crap
No security through obscurity: my password is goatse. Stop me before I troll again.
Can I ask what the heck this has to do with the article posted??
As for you insisting that Linux is more crash prone, I beg to differ. I have a web server that has been running for 175 with basically nothing being done to it except for applying patches, checking logs, etc.
At work, we primarily run a Windows NT network and if we don't reboot all the servers at least once a week they blue screen far too often. Now I personally don't have any other experience with 'other unices' but I think Linux is well on the way to becoming just as stable and reliable as them.
Later....
The steep learning curve compared to about any other operating system out there is a major factor in Linux' cost.
Well we're all sorry that you're too big of a moron to install your little linux box... but just because the population is too stupid to run a simple OS, doesn't mean that it's bad... its the population that is pretty damn shitty
And it keeps coming out with sequels every year or two for those who are die hard fans!
-- Remember Johnny,
Since originally reading here and here, the possibility of Douglas' last works coming to print, I've been checking periodically. On Jan. 9th a hit came up on Amazon for Salmon of Doubt - Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time. A quick check of Harmony Books seems to confirm it's due out in May, one year after the death of Douglas Noel Adams. There's at least cover artwork, as oppose to the last time, back in the mid-90's, or so, when I saw listing of this same book.
Speculation has been that Salmon and other bits have been harvested from DNA's computer hard drive. As much as Douglas, a tough critic of his own work, may not have wanted other eyes to see work he deemed unfit to publish, it's coming. I'll probably buy the book. Perhaps a pint of bitter, with a pleasantly nutty taste and some Dire Straits will help cope with the mixed feelings.
A feeling of having made the same mistake before: Deja Foobar

...gets my vote for producing more fiction about number of dollars lost because of piracy and the homeless children of RIAA execs...all because of CD ripping.
How is this science? you ask. What else to you call the walking, talking slugs at the RIAA???

You should listen to what The Turd Report has to say, he...(wait for it)....

For a guy who's supposed to be full of shit, you make an awful lot of true statements.
