I am starting a new company! I think I will call it NanoOne. Yep, I am going to file for IPO and announce that I am planning on releasing my own NanoOne NanoLinux distribution. On top of that, it will use NanoApache to serve my eNanoCommerce site in which people can access it via our new NanoPalm which is a wireless NanoPDA that uses NanoLinux as well! Please give me $$ now!
Figures...I look for a job in the Ann Arbor area for 3 months and never saw this ad. I just landed a job last week and this pops up. I may as well apply anyway...
Ebert is an idiot. All he does is compare a movie to classic movies. If it is different, it sucks. If it is artsey, it is great even if it really does suck. If it is fun to watch, it sucks. According to Ebert, you cannot have fun at a movie, you must have to think.
Of course if all you had to do all your life was to watch movies, I guess I would want to see ones that make me think. But I think enough at my job and I sometimes like to watch a movie that is simply fun to watch.
Ebert usually gives the opposite of my opinions on movies.
I take it you do not know anything about how a company works, eh? Look at what Redhat has done in the past quarter. It costs money to buy a company or two or three. The 'loss' is just reinvestment, and it is a sign that the company is really making changes. Try waiting more than one quarter to judge things like this.
You are right and you are wrong. Yes, the split itself does not actually make anyone money, but as a result of the split - shares become more affordable (which will spur additional trading == good thing) - and if the company continues it's success it leads to better profits down the road.
If RHAT goes up 17 points because of some good news wouldn't you rather have double the shares you had last month???
So yes, someone that got in at $80 is doing fine right now.
I am gonna make this short. I am quite Catholic, and I have to agree that nobody shall know when the second messiah will come to Earth. (That is if it has not already happened?!) I am truely bothered that some Catholics think that there will be some sort of Apocolyptic event in y2k.
News Flash!
Y2K is relative! It could be the year 666 for all I care. It is just a number that has some neat 0's in it. SO WHAT!!!
I have one thing to say...Kevin Spacey rules. He has been consistantly great in every movie that I have seen him in, and although it took a little while for me to get used to his character in American Beauty he was great!
Yeah, I am the same way. Them new technologies and stuff...I mean, I love my 386SX! I clocked that bitch up to 600Mhz but I have to get a new shipment of liquid Nitrogen every week to feed the cooling on it. Hell Yeah! I have this 82 Pinto, not too bad with a blower on it! I am not gonna buy none of them silly japanese cars that get like 40+ mpg...
Sorry about the extreme sarcasm, but sometimes (depending on what you want to do with the computer) you really need more than a 486/66. I am sure it works fine for you, but I have to face reality with a larger cache, faster bus speed, and better processor.
IMO- My guide to flamebait on/. is to post stuff about how the newest technology has really been around for years, or to misspell something, or to post something mathematically (or technologically) inaccurately.
Being that I agree with Ex Machina, I do not see how this got moderated to 'flamebait'? What argument would flame this besides maybe an exec from MCI or the cable co.? I just do not see an opposing viewpoint.
I think what is meant is that using the term 'Windows Powered' may imply to the consumer that the device is compatible with (or powered by) the Windows OS when it is really just a useless hack-job. OTOH you can argue that this 'OS formerly known as CE' can be referred to as a member of the Windows family.
IANAL, but I guess it could get a little sticky but nothing that their legal department cannot lie--uh...talk their way out of.
Yeah, I used to really like Segfault. Anyhow, it all started with just a few posts about Natalie Portman...then in time she was naked and petrified. Well, I can just scroll past all that crap if it is sporadic, but after a few months Segfault was riddled with those posts.
IMO- You can tell where the post is going after the first line so it does not hurt to just scroll to the next message but it is annoying when all of the posts are like that. Granted there are many posts that I would like not to read such as the "You people should not criticize Windoze, it RuLeS!" B.S. posts...but guess what? There is an extent that free speach is a good thing, and there is a time where you have to listed to very lame people. But remember, there will always be a time where someone else thinks that you are lame and would like to not listen to you.
It looks like this particular petrification post was actually funny, and it is not like the ones on Segfault. If it gets like Segfault was, all of them will be moderated down to -1 anyway so just keep your threshold up around 1 or 2.
Did you happen to pay any attention to the site that this is in response to? It is a thing called parody. Man, chill out! Talk about a 'roid rage!'
I am sure he did not check the AC post because he did not think that someone like you were out there to get all bent out of shape for no real reason. It is no wonder that there are so many problems in the world when people cannot take a little satire here and there. Stereotypes are good criticism too, although they are viewed negatively because they do not portray the target group accurately, they can make you think about the people you associate with and how they are viewed.
It makes me sick too. When I try to explain myself to partisan demobots and republicobots they stare at me in disbelief and say "Well, how about party A's policy on this or that? Doens't that bother you?" It is a two-way street people!
It is disgusting to see a whole country play games like this... A good example of the behavior is in sports, root for your team! Your team RULES and your rival sucks. In fact, the rival plays dirty and usually pays off the officials or something to win.
It is all bullshit!
I could bitch about this forever, but I am too busy trying to think of a solution instead.
Narc is also used as a generalization of an undercover police officer. Yes, literally a narc would indicate narcotics but the term has become a catch-all for undercover cop. Take the stick out of your ass and quit being so damned critical.
Listen to yourself. "Wah wah...there is no decent browser on Linux..."
Then you claim to be able to write a better browser yourself...well have at it buddy! Let me know as soon as you think you have a better product and I will help you test it out. Seriously.
In the meantime, don't bitch about it...DO something about it!!!
I think that all the people that have been saying "Mozilla is useless because I want something now...blah blah blah... I use IE because I can have it now..." should look at themselves in the mirror. I could see you about 3+ years ago with Linux. "I need a fully featured OS now...."
Do you see the problem? Instead of bitching about how you are impatient for a revolutionary browser that will knock the boots off of all current browsers to come out into at least a beta release, why don't you think about testing or at least supporting the project.
I am sure not everyone wants to cludge up their system by testing, but support goes a long way even if it is a simple "Keep up the work guys, I can't wait to see the finished product!"
This is not a simple project, and ignorant criticism is not helpful. I think that the developers would get the job done quicker and better with more support.
All I can say is "Hey! I just got wall-to-wall carpet, man! Yeah, like, it is pea green shag!" On a serious note; I do like the color schemes, but I think that the Slashdot logo in the upper-right of the screen should match with the scheme for that page. Tealish blue-green clashes very badly with browns and yellows.
Microsoft is a good company, they make good products, and they're smarter than their dimwitted competition. I am not even going NEAR this one. I hope to God that this person was not serious, because they have obviously not used Win2K RC2, WinNT, Win98 or WinNT server yet. Talk about crap... The only good thing to come from M$ is DOS. During it's time, DOS was good. Win 95 OSR2 was good too and IMO is the most stable release of Windows. Besides that it is all thrashy bug-infested bloatware.

So who is at LinuxOne.com?
I sure saw the stupid logo with the mailto.

Hehe...nice flaimbait! And you are reading on Slashdot for what reason?
nuff said.
Did you happen to pay any attention to the site that this is in response to? It is a thing called parody. Man, chill out! Talk about a 'roid rage!'

You can use things like this positively...
