Did anyone else notice the link back to/. regarding the Patrick Naughton arrest? There was a typo in it. this was the link they had. slashdog. Funny, it's registered.
...'cept that with my luck, I'd once again get burned by the higher powers that be. They'd again tease me with a linux expo in DC, only to move it to NY. Or Atlanta. Or Wichita. Anywhere but here, it seems:-/
You think christening a pig with a dotcom moniker is bad, read the article that Salon had yesterday, "Thoroughly modern eMillie". Perhaps the most amusing -- or disgusting -- is the reference to the legal battle with Apple over the name "iMack".
While I agree with most of your statements, I have to call you on the Disney+Porno thing. Though there have been one, maybe two incidents in disney films, the vast majority of these accusations have been disproved. Check out this page for more on urban legends in disney movies.
More likely than not, it's this rabid faction of fundamentalists who, due to their distaste for Disney's stance on gay rights, make up a lot of this tripe.
We were talking alcohol at a bar last night, when the topic of Guinness came up, which after a while led me to buy one. We discussed this widget issue for a while, whereupon the bartender informed us that they'd changed the widget or technique to include a little plastic ball... a ball that was just about the right weight and size, etc., to make it quite easy to get free games on a foosball table.
Indeed, we cut open the can, and the ball is quite nice. Looks like a night of foosball (and Guinness) for me.
I was gonna suggest a You Can't Do That on Television stamp, with green paste on the back and that dude's head on the front, etc., until I realised that it was a Canadian show. Come to think of it, so did Bryan Adams, another icon of the eighties, IMO. (Not that there's anything wrong with that!)
On a side note, I used to publish an online magazine with some friends, called Verbosity. We published an eighties flashback issue that featured interviews with key 80s elements, Rodney Dangerfield and Adam Curry. If this stamp discussion doesn't whet your appetite for Reaganomics, the Cold War and parachute pants, read the Verbosity 80s issue.
Heh, now that you mention it, that almost sounds viable... but only when you consider this less a case of "raising more consulting business", as much as it would be to boost John Vranesevich's already overinflated ego.
I saw this evening on CNN that the FBI has enlisted the help of none other than Antionline, in its search for the perpetrators of the DoS attacks. What is your opinion, regarding this decision? How does this reflect upon the FBI's ability to investigate cybercrimes?
Being the complex portal, weblog that it is, with such a diverse community, Slashdot would of course have a more complex nose than some of the other sites out there. I have brought together a crack team of oenophiles, who have adapted their exceedingly talented noses to the analysis of Slashdot. The following is the culmination of their many months of olfactory investigation.
45% concrete, symbolic of the solid, productive discussion that makes up the plurality of Slashdot discussion...
30% smoky, due to that sealed-in, flame-broiled flavour that also envelops a great deal of the ensuing discussions...
10% greasy, the remnants of slippery patent law and lawyers, slipping through our collective grasp...
10% earthy, a testament to the abundance of petrification and proliferation of other troll excrement...
And finally, 5% buttery, a testament to the abundance of hot, buttered grits.
Further analysis will be provided upon request, assuming, of course, that there's a nice cabernet available to accompany the lively discussion. ;-)
...because I generally think MSNBC does a fairly good job of presenting things in a unbiased way, with regards to things remotely related to Microsoft, and for that, I applaud them.
Brock Meeks, appears to me to be creeping to the 'dark side' with this one though. He calls it crass commercialism, but I can't be convinced for one second that MSNBC doesn't/wouldn't want to do the same thing. Technology + Media.
At the same time, he throws in same tired argument that this is proof that MS does have competitors. Interesting that a similar statement was just released by MS lawyers in their breakup defense. Would AOL/TW be a competitor to MSNBC? Perhaps... probably. However, a wholly outright coup against Microsoft proper? I still don't see that.
Next, we can remove the crap about owning "the content as well as the conduit" and his groundless worries that Case will leave the open access coalition... and the result is that I find nil worthwhile content in the dude's statement. I dunno. Perhaps I don't have my paranoia filter set to +1. But I can't shake the notion that, this time around, it's the Meeks's corporate interests talking.
In addition to seeing enough of his antics in various minor guest appearances on shows, TV commercials, etc....He was on "In Living Color" before he was ever in the movies...
This is one of the major reasons I liked the movie -- precisely because he wasn't his typical dumb, plastic self. This wasn't one of the "Jim Carrey starring as Jim Carrey!" roles. I don't like him either, never seen any of his movies, short of his role in whichever one of the Batman flicks he was in.
Before this movie came out, I'd heard stories about how after a filming session and then for a few weeks after the movie was completed, he actually had to regain his own personality back, because he'd absorbed the role of Kaufman to such a great degree. Indeed, he certainly did a great job.
Clothiers generally haven't had a great performance history in the stock market -- look at Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, for example. However, with the current linux craze, perhaps they just need to slap on an embedded device and watch the greenbacks roll in....;-)
Well, between an asinine US ruling regarding illegal URI linking that has all the clout to become precedential, and a Swedish ruling that linking to MP3s *isn't* illegal, I see the beginnings of a lucrative market in "offshore" webhosting...:P
Dante and Randall are in this (Dante was a reporter, Randall worked at the gun store), but I'm sure you saw that
Dante himself wasn't in it, per say. It was the same actor, as well as the same actor who played suitor #3, Gill Hicks in Mallrats He's played a different member of the Hicks family each time (Dante and Gill are supposedly cousins; I'm not sure of the reporter's relation).

You mean, Bronsnan?
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone...
Here's another place, probably faster, where you can find the, err... "roach clip".
I think Moby (also Christian) said it best:
"The Christian Right is neither".
wtf. the link didn't work. here's the link.
Not that it matters.

Can anyone else access 2600? I'd think it was /.ed, but I can't even resolve 'www.2600.com'.
You know what the Superfriends are doing, right?
Watchin' the game, havin' a Bud...

Taking the thread slightly offtopic...

Ut-oh. Maybe ole JV will try to sue me now.

20 million people expected to be 'connected' by the end of the year, each spending an average of 17 hours online.
:)
17 hours...per what? Year? Month? Day? (God save 'em!)
Well, I guess I'll go read the article now, and find out.

CNN has an article, too.
I can see an IPO coming soon in the next few months, (NASDAQ: HACK).
hmm, I knew this was going to show up.
