Slashdot Mirror
Hungarian Mac OS X Released
mr100percent writes "Apple's Hungarian web site for Mac OS X is reporting that the Hungarian version of Mac OS X Panther is available for download for 10.3.0, three point releases back, requiring you to downgrade if you're above. Only the system applications have been localized: iApps and Help menus remain in English. A more current Hungarian localization is currently in development."
Therefore I reserve my inalienable right to go totally off-topic. I was browsing the slashdot FAQ yesterday, looking for that elusive $rbtl explanation, reading this bit about subscriptions. It mentions that getting a subscriber account means you don't get any ads. What ads? I mused to myself. Then I dimly remembered having to set my AdBlock filter on first arriving at slashdot to get rid of them.
My next thought was..."and this is the main selling point of a subscription account?" and I began to laugh to myself. How old is this FAQ? March '02. Does a subscriber account now give you extra stuff, now that technology has obsoleted the "no ads" option (not that it was ever non-obsolete)? Em..yeah, look at the list.
See stories first! Pay extra to get your own "fp" post. WOW!
Get notified if someone "friends" or "foes" you. As opposed to, JUST LOOKING. Again, WOW!
Get an asterisk to identify each other There goes another sucker. Mod the poor bastard up. He can't help that he's stupid. WOWOWOWOWOWOW!
Exclude more topics from homepage See less slashdot. Now there's an idea.
Karma, moderation bonuses Here's the crux
....Is anyone there? ...Hello!...Hellooooo?
It's all about the mod / meta mod advantages! The next time you see a subscriber call a troll pathetic, bear in mind that person is willing to pay extra to feel like the "big man", to gain an illusory advantage over another on a hacked together, woefully amateur, ugly, glorified bookmark. How wonderfully sad! How utterly revealing! Give a slashbot some meaningless milestone "Blue Skies Badges", "Imaginary Freedom Points", or "League of Excellence Merits" and they fall over themselves to pay you discuss them, collect them, and act as if they're somehow significant. I bet some Slashbots talk to their therapists about them. "I lost three Karma points today. I feel sad about that, like when my father died." Taco, I salute you!
Subscribers - roll up, roll up! I have a bridge to sell you! (By the way, for more of the karma you so desperately need to validate yourself, just reply by saying "Oh - but I subscribe to support this wonderful site. You, troll, wouldn't understand that." Guaranteed +5 Insightful. But I give you "-5 predictable" under the Good Justice Doublegood Motherfucker Pesetas system, so you can't have it all. I mean is there any subscriber, anywhere, who can justify this without using the aforementioned cliche? Anyone?)
