I think the really big slashdot knockout, where it went down for a couple of days (and there was all this drama), generated some great discussion. Especially when a short while afterwards, Hotmail (or MSN?) went down for almost a week and when it came back, Microsoft didn't say a word about it.
Firefox regularly uses over 700M RAM. The machine I'm on only has 256MB RAM. My solution is to keep task manager open and just forcibly kill firefox every hour or so. Maybe you could fix that for version 2?
Can anyone think of any replacements for MS HTML Help? Something I can use to read the MSDN docs that isn't slow as hell or full of bugs?
Thanks in advance...

Is eBay the Promised Land?

Here's the problem: I have to pay the listing fee, right? Then I have to pay a percentage of the final sale, right? Then I have to pay a percentage of the money that was transfered to me by paypal, right? Then I have to dig through the nearest dumpster to find a box of suitable size and strength to house the item. Then I have to carry it to the post office. No matter how high I jack up the shipping fee, every damn time the absolute cheapest shipping fee is always a few dollars over what I charged the bidder. Always. By this time, I'm lucky to have recovered half of the money that I wasted when I acquired the item.
It gets worse though: there's no other place to sell your stuff. You're lucky to get 1/10th @ amazon what you get @ eBay.
Seriously. While other people are scared of their job going to India, you'll be reducing your chance of getting Reagan's Disease, expanding your skill set, boosting your marketability, widening the range of places you can vacation on your fat paycheck, etc. Also, Indian chicks, RAWR!
Or you can keep hating on Indians, I'm sure that'll go over real well...
I keep running across topics that are interesting to talk about, and the Armadillo updates have been a pretty good way for me to organize my thoughts, so I'm going to give it a more general try here..plan files were appropriate ten years ago, and sort of retro-cute several years ago, but I'll be sensible and use the web.

This is unbelieveable. A PhD is a license to print money. With what you know, you create your own job. You never work for someone else for as long as you live.
If this isn't patently obvious, then your education was a waste and you don't deserve the title Doctor of Philosophy.

Whatever happened to Omnivore, the open source Carnivore that was superior in every way?

If you're interested in all things sleep, there's a new blog called Circadiana about that sort of stuff.

How does its wingspan compare to the 10-foot monster that supposedly wanders the skies over Alaska?

ant is a really simple cmd-line process, I can't see how it leaking memory would be a big deal.
However, if you sincerely think that Eclipse doesn't leak memory like a sieve, then I claim that you don't do your day-to-day in it.

What's the point in having a preview button if you're never going to use it, IDIOT.
Would like to start by expressing my home that this is going to be the best /. thread evar. ^^v

Is there any chance you could persuade your coworkers to be a little more quiet?
I personally use Leightning 31, but that's not for music...

Stupid question, has anyone done peer review to check that the cloned kitten truly is a clone?
