Hey, I (mostly) enjoy reading Sig11's comments, if you don't like his comments, don't read them, if you can ignore 'f1r5t p05t', you can just as easily ignore a post by sig11, or is this just a case of envy at his karma?
If there was a fund or something to supply legal aid to people like etoy/EFF/etc when they are sued/oppressed by big companies who think they can get away with it 'cause they can't be sued back (the little guys can't afford to sue them), and if the fund was reimbursed when the good guys won, this might help make the internet a better place. Just a crackpot idea, be nice if it worked though
I'll get a patent for "a device to amplify either force or movement by use of a beam (lever) turning around a point (fulcrum)" and sue anyone who uses one anywhere.
You are a fool, and for the following reasons: gt; Most of you are not qualified to have an opinion on Y2K from what I understand having an opinion requires little or no qualification, although some people are definatly overqualified (opinionated fools like you) as to several million companies and government being hoodwinked out of $114 Billion, this has been done before (Think Microsoft Windows) The links you provided were pointless, the first(http://www.senate.gov/~y2k/documents/100dayr pt/) was the panic-mongering product of a corrupt fool who wanted to produce something other than "it's alright, nothing is going to happen", the second (http://www.year2000.com/y2karticles.html) was even worse, it was a site dedicated to spreading fear and panic, most likely to line their own pockets, and the third site provided (http://www.motorola.com/General/year2000/prodport _2k.html) was just a disclaimer to cover motorola's behind from litegation? litergation? dammit having the **** sued out of them and was provided to add a little credability to the post as it din't tell us anything other than what has already been said about 10000 on slashdot.
Ok, I'll try to sum up all the comments I've seen so far
Drool, I want one
So what, I already have a 15" CRT
<JUST KIDDING>Isn't Linux Great (this comment may or may not have appeared in this thread, but hey, this is Slashdot, that comment occurs every second comment which isn't "First Post", or "You are a FOOL 'cause I disagree with you")</JUST KIDDING>
"Oh no, the (pick appropriate option from list)[company/country/entire space-time continuum] is going to [explode/die/open a warp to an evil alternate universe] because we aren't Y2K complient" So your computer might [lock up/crash/return a wrong date value] over the changeover, so what, computers [lock up/crash/return wrong data] all the time anyway, normally it is a [bug in the code/SCU(Stupid Computer User)] that makes it happen, but one more Windows crash shouldn't worry you. Here I will make a Prophecy: If you are running Windows, your computer will crash on the 8th of Jan 2000 If you are running Windows I am probably right, your computer will crash, I know mine does, but thats hardly a reason to get into your bomb shelter, c'mon, be serious. </RANT>
As someones sig states: Gates law: Every 18 months the speed of software halves. combine this with what I think was Moores law: Every 18 months the speed of hardware doubles and you get something which goes like this: Any and all resources can and will be used.......+1 byte
Actually a micron is one millionth of a meter, or one thousandth of a millimeter, being a contraction of micrometer, where micro is 1 * 10^-6. (that was one times ten to the minus six).
The Matrix become a reality, c'mon be serious, actually, the Truman Show is how things really are, hopefully they won't delete this post before you see it...

The road rage factor itself would be great... Hey, he cut me off BOOM... scratch one luser...hehehe and you would be unlikely to get a speeding fine...
Not as good as a Logitech, but its still pretty good.... ....too bad they don't make an OS to match....

What have you done? All that can come from this topic is a war on the pronuciation of Linux!!!
I forgot the perdantic, "correction" post by a perfectionist like you 8^) (Just kidding)
- FIRST POST!!!
- Micro$oft sucks
- Ha, Linux is better
- <FLAME>NO YOU FOOL, USE BSD</FLAME>
Then the comments likely to be caused by this particular topic...- The Whores!!! I'll never shop there again
- Ha! the place was overpriced anyway!
OK then, unless you have something other than these comments, try to make it amusing..."Oh no, the (pick appropriate option from list)[company/country/entire space-time continuum] is going to [explode/die/open a warp to an evil alternate universe] because we aren't Y2K complient" So your computer might [lock up/crash/return a wrong date value] over the changeover, so what, computers [lock up/crash/return wrong data] all the time anyway, normally it is a [bug in the code/SCU(Stupid Computer User)] that makes it happen, but one more Windows crash shouldn't worry you.

Well there is a large number - although not infinite number of monkeys spouting gibbering, the internet proves it....
