A tornado's worth of spin control. telstar writes "The Code Report is reporting that last week's story from the New York Times concerning the death of Hailstorm was not entirely accurate. A Microsoft spokesperson has stated that Microsoft is shifting from a model in which MSN was the sole operator to a model where the operation of these services is available to multiple operators."
Onan Meets Midas. daoine writes: "Reversing the outcome of an earlier argument, boston.com is reporting that MGM and New Line Cinema have reached an agreement that permits New Line to continue with the Goldmember name. It also stipulates that further satirical names must be approved by MGM."
Does dishes, saves gas, freshens your breath, cleans your pets ... Apparently, Gentoo Linux is contagious. JigSaw writes: "OSNews features an interesting review of Gentoo Linux 1.0 and they call it 'the fastest loading, fastest-operating Linux distribution to date.' Gentoo may be the fastest Linux for a workstation today, but according to the review, it still has some problems, most notably, annoying bugs. However, it still manages to score a glowing 8.2 out of 10 overall."
Reader sckevyn also points to the Gentoo PowerPC page for those equipped different.
First steps always seem small. camusflage writes "Yahoo has a story from ZDNet about TheKompany's recent release of tkcPlayer for the Zaurus, which is being billed as the first portable Ogg Vorbis player. A player for a format not many people are using on a platform even fewer people are using. Admirable, but not likely to be a commercial success."

haha. wow. 'Jeffrey McJew'. I guess I came from the generic Jewish store, 'McJew's', where they sell generic jewish people. Even tho' I'm Scottish. Just like the 'hamburgers' at McDonalds aren't really from a cow...
Just goes to show that arguing (or even posting, it seems) on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics- even if you win, you're still a retard.
Why the hell should a site hosted in the US, run by Americans, and having a mostly US based readership have to cater to your limey ass? How is a site lame just because they don't have a special section for you worthless brits? Tough luch. Just because you've shown up here uninvited doesn't mean Slashdot should bow to your every whim. People don't complain about Mac websites because they don't cater to Linux/Windows users, so shut the fuck up about Slashdot not catering to non US users.
