Wow. I'm so stoked that Rob took
my post seriously enough to follow up on it. Yeah, nothing really interesting to add to this other than to point out my involvement in it!:)
I'm sure I'm merely echoing what a lot of Slashdotters feel, but I know that I would buy stock in Mandrake like this. Like Timothy, I could probably afford a grand.
I would really like to see someone from Slashdot interview the founder of the eternal life device, Alex Chiu about 2001. I'm sure if Leonard F. Wheat can find all sorts of hidden metaphors in anagrams and the shape of the Discovery's engines, just imagine what Alex Chiu can find!
Why would I use eGold in place of cash. This is another business model that baffles me. Its like Beanz and Flooz and such. What it reminds me of is this: Remember when you used to go into video arcades? Sometimes the machines ran off tokens and not quarters. So you bought a bunch of tokens, and at the end of the day you always had a few worthless tokens left over?
This is what all those alternative forms of web-currency reminds me of. Why would I spend my cash to get something that I can use...just like cash!

Everquest is the most popular online game, with Diablo coming in a close second
More people use Windows than Linux as well, but that doesn't neccessarily mean Windows is better.
Taco when you and Hemos are at LinuxWorld in Tokyo, will you set up a booth so people can enter and anonymously shout insults at you? Furthermore, I may set up a booth with the promise of free palm pilots to everyone who stops by, only to give out photos of Mr Goatse.cx instead. See you two there!:)
When will the Amiga die? Please, its time to take it off life support and let it slide off into the great beyond. This OS just gets passed from one European company to another, like a joint at Dennis Hopper's ranch. I'm beginning to think its just some kinda white elephant gift that CEOs give to one another.
Hey I hacked your so-called "l33t" firewall. You really need to learn how to properly set up a firewall. I mean I don't know *anything* about firewalling but I could probably do a better job. Not that it was worthwhile in the first place. All it had was some sick German porn and crappy MP3s, all of which I had anyways.
Hey does anyone else have the problem with Konqueror where some of the fonts are really small? I love Konqueror but because it draws its fonts really oddly, I seldom use it. Anyone found a way to fix this?

he might actally be the first to collect the X Prize
The X-Prize goes to someone who can create a vehicle that can send three people into space. This one seats only one.
However, I really salute this person and I hope he makes it. Good luck!
First off, this is stunning. I always picture pre-color photography times as being a bit drab and lifeless. Everyone around then clearly wore nothing but sepia-toned clothing. To be able to see something like this is really beautiful.
Secondly, here's a quote from the page explaining how it was done:Shown here is one of the thousands of glass plate negatives made by Prokudin-Gorskii. The negatives served two purposes. Primarily they were used to produce positive glass slides for his illustrated lectures about the Russian Empire. Prokudin-Gorskii projected the slides through the red, green, and blue filters of a device known as a "magic lantern" which superimposed the images onto a screen resulting in a full-color picture.
More than likely all these laptops wound up on eBay from broke intelligence agents. I know thats what happens to all the missing laptops from my company.
Who has a real story of an IP address shortage? I mean, something like an ISP saying "Sorry, we'd like to give you a DSL line, but we've just run out of IP addresses".
This hasn't happened...yet. However, it will occur not too far down the road. Actually, I should rephrase that. Unless IPv6 is used, increasingly cumbersome methods of increasing that available IP pool will need to be used.
The growth of broadband, WAP devices and talk of such things as ovens, air conditioners and god-only knows what else being hooked up to the internet will rapidly drain this pool. This is why IPv6 is neccessary. For a really good article on it, check out this CNet story.
Timothy what have you done with the other Slashdot editors! It was nice to unhandcuff Taco for a few minutes on Easter, but please let them go! Proper grammar on Slashdot makes me edgy!
Hmm...well if its inexpensive enough I *may* pick up Alpha Centauri. Tribes 2 is right out cause I run linux on an old Dell laptop. But Alpha Centauri might be a cool game to play on a plane ride. We'll see!:)

What does "Nangi namaj perez" mean? Where did you get it from?

Yeah I probably should've actually read the story before I posted anything about it. I'll be keeping my grand, thankyouverymuch.

How is the military going to use this for hostage rescue? Are they going to start up some elite force like Megaforce?
There is no 'e' in Potato. Didn't we learn anything from the Dan Quayle debacle some years ago?

Please, the Amiga wants to die. Let it.

No, that would be Halo. Unfortunately, it'll never make it to the PC :(
I literally fininished downloading and burning the beta 3 CDs as I was going to bed last night. Heh.
Well done. Well done. Almost as good as Will the Real Bruce Perens Please Stand Up.

I do. Its pretty nice for short journeys under twelve hours. I think you're mistaking it for the AA-Meeting-On-Wheels known as Greyhound.

If anyone is interested in knowing where the American gold is kept, check out the Fed's site.
Thanks. Sorry you're post got modded down as a Troll. That was pretty lame.
