I don't want XP embedded @ home, because at home I can do all of these things you described. I want it for work so that maybe the PC I'm stuck w/ will spend it's CPU cycles rendering what I want it to instead of crashing and restarting msmsgs.exe every 5 minutes >_<
If you're one of those people who don't like reading through docs online, the "Official" Blender 2.3 Guide was just released from No Starch Press. They had problems shipping the first batch, but they are definitely here, as evidenced by the one just in reach of my grubby hands.
I know you think that the interface is cumbersome, and if you've checked my slashdot comments, you'll see that I've said the same on a number of occasions... but my lab partners, who swear by it, have convinced me to stick it out and learn.
wishus just wrote validator.w3.org, and I have to second that. One of my coworkers in the lab told me that my website is one of the very few that show up properly in the PS2's webbrowser... and lynx... and a host of other web browsers. If it validates, it's usually good.
If you want, you can read hepkitten's explanation of where all that money goes... It's quite informative, as long as you skip the drama that comes right after >_<
Man, if any PhD school will take me, I hope I can say "Fuck it, I ain't writing no goddamned thesis" and get my story accepted: "Please, write my thesis for me! I'll give you a cookie! Yay, slashdot! Down w/ Microsoft!"
Totally f-ing awesome. I wonder how many people took up the "kiss for a dollar" offer from that chick standing by the merchandise tables. It seemed that all of the girls were taken, but the ones that were there (and there were many more than I expected!) were exquisitely hawt and listening in on their conversations, I could tell they were hardcore.
Keven Mitnick was there and it was awesome. The room was jam packed, look at the photos and realize that from the middle of the room, Kevin on the video screen was a single pixel speck that we could kinda sorta barely make out. Took him 10 years to get there, but he finally made it and got a standing ovation for it. Here's what I learned: Kevin Mitnick was able to literally outrun the Feds. How? Stair Master! It was so inspirational that I'm gonna pwn the gym every goddamned day from now til the day I die.
Here's something the rest of you may be interested in: Open Source Intelligence. When the populace is educated, the govt. can't pull the wool over the people's eyes. Robert Steele took a good long look at how badly the CIA got pwn3d, put together his extensive personal experience in govt. service, examined at the way Denmark, England, and Sweden conduct their intelligence gathering and decided that the OSS model was the best. Check it out, it's fascinating, even if the guy behind me during the Capt. Crunch presentation on spam enumerated evidence that Steele's presentation was a carefully set up recruitment effort for the Feds.
And who got owned? Some fucker owned my cell phone, but that's what I get for being a goddamned llama. Also, Bruce Schneier seemed unaware that TIPS hasn't really been eliminated... But unlike me, he's pretty goddamned cool, so I'm sure he'll get up to speed fairly quickly. One of the guys sitting next to me commented (and I agreed) that Schneier's panel was the best all day.
Another poster here on/. commented that 2600 was too damn political and anti-Bush. I agree that it was anti-Bush, but it's because Bush is in the White House today. The next HOPE will either be more virulently anti-Bush OR it will be decidedly anti-Kerry. So if you skipped today, please, just relax and come on down and spend Saturday/Sunday w/ us. Guarantee you walk away knowing more than before you got there.
I understand that you're trying to make a point, but when Super Mario Kart came out, I think I was ~15, so my dad kept interrupting my play to point out that I should be doing this or doing that and keep my eye on the road etc etc. Thank God I didn't play Mortal Kombat while inside the house...

A similar article should be available online in the Apologist for another 5 days or so, if you're so inclined.
It'll have to put up an away message for quite some time.
This is the worst thing I've heard all year, and we've still got some months left to go. Where the hell is Shenmue 3?
The only part of a citation that matters is what it does for your Erdos Number.

Please don't pass Sony a clue in any way, shape or form. Comedy gold like this simply does not come along every day.

Microsoft's .NET has AES built in and I'm pretty sure AES is what Trillian uses for encryption, so I say go for it!
Is this from the same people who felt they had to pump Alan Turing full of garbage to "cure" his "anti-social behavior"?
DDR will officially stop being cool once the 10K Commotion concludes.
Can you separate content from form?
We should've stick to ASCII.
Pictures, please.
"P-P-P Powerbook" is one of teh (if not TEH) greatest stories ever told.
Granite Island Group has already one-upped this story. Fuck wireless security, we're talking about actual bona fide security problems here.

The fact that you have to ask slashdot means your security is weak and needs a serious audit, pronto.
re: shiny things, consider a biometric fingerprint scanner.
Are you sure? In Linux, when you want to watch a video, tell teh CPU that you're running WinXP Pro and you're good to go!
How did you think the CPU was going to identify the operating system?

Want to help a Microsoftie switch to Firefox? See if you can help, I'm sure once he gets it working he'll go and convert others...

Awesome, so I'll see this guy on this list real soon now, right?
