Because as far as I know at Disney's, they don't wanna let you know how long their lines are sometimes, they use specific techniques to hide that, for instance the scary Alien thingy, you got like 3 halls before it where you get to wait in groups, so it looks like yur already on the ride, but it's basically a glorified queue:)
Ehm yes...thank you, that made it even more clear to me that the Electoral College system is totally unfair, I would even go as far as saying that it's NOT democratic at all. People should choose the president, not states.
Not always...look how DivX came and conquered. If you create something that's just plane better then the rest, sometime the support for it comes crushing in....
What's the honor in marketing to a gullible public, that's what the problem is most US citizens are so gullible that it's not even a challenge to have them buy crap.

Well I for one am worried about the merger. I mean, at the moment it might not sound that scary, VA Linux has explicitly told Slashdot that they don't want to do any censoring or content editing, but what will happen in a few years?
Linux is becoming bigger every day, what will happen when VA Linux sees they can make loads of money with commercialising Slashdot, promoting VA Linux and neglecting others? Maybe some Slashdot editors will quit Slashdot, but that's the beginning of the end. Slashdot will keep on living, but not the way I, and I hope everyone here, would want it.

When the underdog becomes big. If it would have been the other way, Linux being big and Windows small, you never know, maybe then we would all be laughing at Linux and cheering at Windows for being the small but way much 'cooler' OS. Linux WILL be big, and lotsa people will be using it in the future. And when that happens, I think alot of people that are now running Linux because it's cool and special, will go out and find something 'new'. For instance Be or HURD.
Yes, that's what I meant

For all you people that think that SETI@Home and Distributed.net is actually quite useless, listen up. I imagine that CPU cycles are actually wordt money, don't they? So wouldn't it be possible to set up some kind of system that runs like SETI@Home but actually does useful work? You could sell the CPU cycles collected by all those computers, and...here comes the catch...do something useful with the money. For instance supporting The Red Cross, or Greenpeace or whatever. There could be voting on what could purpose would be supported, and...and...well I see alot of possibilities. Ofcourse I can also see a few problems...but would it be possible? Anyone wants to share his opinion on this? Am I being very naive or might this actually be a good idea?
It has to be the keyboard, I mean, we wouldn't even be having this discussion if someone wouldn't have come up with this brilliant piece of equipment:-) Voice recognition? When "Open me an Explorer please" still leads to my computer openining the Recycle Bin, I say "Maybe later..."
Was there a Mr. Keyboard? Who actually came up with this ugly thing I'm hitting right now? And what did they use before? Cheerz, Arno
Check it out here. It plays DVD,VCD3.0,VCD2,DVCD,MP3 all the standard stuff, even copied DVD's work on it. And for the Europeans under us (like me:-) it's not bounded by the DVD region settings.
If Slashdot has had 18 days uptime I'm Dilbert, I couldn't connect for hours up until 5 minutes ago...how does this uptime counter work anyway? I don't suppose someone manually updates it?

Ah you don't need to know their language for that: 'knock knock', 'hi', 'how much?' will do just fine.

Ok guys, let's not /. these poor systems that have to run a webserver and keep their NT from crashing to a DOS prompt as well.
