Slashdot Mirror
Slashback: Wireless, Radio, Ralsky
Don't Post While Sleepy: Hi, Chrisd here apologizing about that false post on Sony/Nintendo Playstation Trademark Settlement. Oops. Doh. No excuse. Mea Culpa. I'll be more careful next time.
Is "Rubber stamping everything" a patentable business practice? Brian Dear writes "With all the news these days about the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issuing a patent to AOL/ICQ/Mirabilis for Instant Messaging, I thought the Slashdot community would be interested in reading about TERM-talk on PLATO, which was announced on the PLATO network on this day in 1973. Here is the URL with a screen shot of the actual announcement."
Turing, Marconi and Rosen: pick any two. squiggleslash writes "Salon is running an informative and sympathetic story about GNU radio. The article discusses how the project could end up pre-empting the Hollywood producers and other content cartel's attempts to destroy modifiable consumer hardware by creating a blatently legitimate space where programmable hardware is a requirement, as well as opening up radio to groups outside of the current cabals. Good stuff."
We've mentioned quite a bit about GNU Radio before (see also Eric Blossom's interview questions and answers; this article delves into the fight that the GNU Radio folks are gearing up for over broadcast flags.
Suiteness and light. To follow up on our mention of the effort to buy from Gobe (and release as Free software) the sourcecode of Gobe Productive, Simon Gauvin of beunited.org writes "beunited.org has been pledged over $10,000.00 by the public and corporate community for the release of Gobe Productive for BeOS. Linux users have also pledged, and we encourage more members of the Linux community to participate for the release of the Linux version. Call all your friends and send them over to beunited.org to help raise awareness!"
Here's the relevant discussion thread if you'd like to learn more about this effort; I wish the site had a bar chart of some sort showing how much money was currently raised, and an obvious PayPal link or similar. Note that for now, beunited's first goal is to open the source for the BeOS version of Productive.
Ralsky, Ralsky, Ralsky ... IsoRashi writes "Over at the Register they have this short article about a guy who took some photos of spammer Alan Ralsky's home. After taking the photographs, the man was chased by someone in a black jaguar and he began receiving threatening phone calls the next day. Here is a direct link to the site the photographer set up."
Read your TOS carefully before you start downloading ... Sergeant Beavis writes "Nate Carlson was kind enough to create a HOWTO for connecting your Linux box to Sprint's Vision network via a Sanyo SCP-4900 phone. However Sanyo's store shows the cable to be out of stock. Now comes FutureDial to the rescue with both the USB cable and SnapDialer software for connecting to the Vision network with Windows instead of Linux. Oh, the cable only cost $19.99 at your local Radio Shack. Enjoy!"
And let this be a lesson (of sorts) to you! gh0ul writes "Looks like Uzi Nissan (for those of you who don't recall owns nissan.com) has lost his fight with Nissan Motors to keep his nissan.com (last name by birthright/company) domain. The site now reads "In compliance with a ruling issued by the United States District Court in Los Angeles on November 14, 2002, in the lawsuit of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. v. Nissan Computer Corporation, this web site has been converted to non-commercial use." Are we ever going to have any protection against these kind of things?"
The Eye was never there. You never saw it. It was not creepy. Finally, Rob writes "The creepy all-seeing eye logo from John Poindexter and the Total Information Awareness project is suddenly missing from the TIA web site. Old site ; Current site Perhaps TIA is seeking suggestions for a new logo?"
Because the deepside niggas are slow, and lazy... just like any other brotha out there
Spammers are psycho. You start stalking this guy and he fights back. Who is shocked to hear this? If someone kept stalking me, I'd beat their asses too.
YOU FAIL IT!
Even a non CSLIBber like you FAIL IT
YOU FAIL IT
YOU FAIL IT
YOU ALWAYS FAIL IT
yes you doyes you doyes you doyes you doyes you doyes you doyes you doyes you doyes you do
Track and Field nigs run pretty fast too.
Your point, I'm afraid, is lost.
As long as this is a slashback, lets go back to LOR:TTT.
Did the Castle siege at Helms deep remind you of the castle siege in Army of Darkness?
Undefeatible hero:
Ash/Aragon
The arrow scene.
A king who needs to be encouraged to fight.
Defending a castle against insurmountable armies:
Undead/Orcs.
Csstle being breached, and last minute help saving you.
Henry the Red/ rest of Rohan's army
Aragon really needs to say in the next movie: Come get some.
Veramocor
Well, in France, since you are unemployed, you would have plenty of time to think about one. On the other hand, in Germany, you'd propably be shot anyway if you did.
Shut up, moron. You're problably from one of those pussy-ass countries that's happy to take our aid money.
EAT SHIT wesley
Well, I thought this was funny, but then, you are Americans and I have imbibed far too much for a Thursday night.
With all the article dupes on /. to begin with, do we really need to re-cap AGAIN?
Do not fold, spindle or mutilate.
You know, 50% of the time it works out the other way. What's your pat, idiotic soundbyte for when that happens? ...
Thought so. STFU.
Slashdot has been pants all week. Quite ironic. Or maybe it's just plain common sense. O.S.S. is typically the worst under load (Ever try to get even 3 people to check something out on CVS at one time? forget it. Every directory for every user has to be loaded into memory at nce. That gives you like one user per 256 meg of ram. Apache is slightly better, but not much) and of course it's hard to buy machines or bandwisth when your entire product is free and/or completely unwanted. You get what you pay for.
i am sad that Dripping Horse Shit Smeels Like Richard Stallman :*( !
