"Obviously SCO has a lot of enemies out there right now, but it's always sad to watch someone stoop to this level."
WTFever. SCO's legal "strategy" is nothing more than a litigious DOS attack, filing briefs and injunctions on whatever they can, whenever they can. Those assholes had this coming.
The technology sector, and therefore the legions of CS departments that feed workers into the sector, are dying as we know it. The inherent problem with IT in the business environment is that the number of solutions drastically outweighs the number of problems, and a sort of stagnation sets in. I suppose there's still tepid demand for a fundamental CS degree, as it's far harder to teach someone the principles of effective design than it is to hand them an O'reilly(tm) book. My advice (I was one of the idiots who road the tech bubble to a CS degree) is to pursue another avenue, and pick up smatterings of CS-related courses that are relevant to your degree. Case in point: I'm midway to my MS in Microbiology. I already have that (at the moment) useless CS degree. However, an emerging field that combines both Biology and CS is called Bioinformatics, and if I weren't already jaded about the job market, I'd call it the next big thing. Seriously, consider a more traditional, "grounded" field. If you're still hard up for that CS degree then dear God, DOUBLE MAJOR.
A military is hardly a place for dissent. As a vetern of our country's Army (oh no, he's biased! and stupid!), I feel I am entitled to bitch and complain about the state of our armed forces in an informed manner. While no system is perfect, it is my sincerest belief that you will not readily find a more effective meritocracy, free from the constraints of race and creed.
And yes, I am aware of the dismal state of CIS in the military. And while I have no response to a training manual that claims 5 1/2" floppy disks are an "emerging technology," I can tell you that as an 11 Bravo, my opinions and suggestions were welcomed with a large neon sign and a warm smile.
NASA's little darling solar plane flew at about 90,000 feet, well above any potential cloud cover. You can assume that these guys are planning on the same strategy. But if you plan to send a manned flight up to 90k feet, doesn't that raise a whole slew of logistics questions? i.e., the amount of oxygen needed, the weight ratios to follow, etc...
This thing is even uglier than a "stock" xbox. A hobby of mine is painting miniatures and building scenes (i.e., historical battles and such). I wonder, is the true draw of modding a desire to improve upon the aesthetic properties of the original subject, or a desire to just carve shit up and say you did it. Because quite honestly, be it that rice rocket down the street with the spoiler that looks like a carry handle, or an xbox thrice the size and twice as ugly, the mod is more often than not worse than the original. Any experienced (and dare I ask talented?) modders care to enlighten?
Without "innocent" users leaving their shared directories open to the world--and consequently the RIAA--their rabid pack of lawyers might have to change tactics and come after the downloaders, who sit in relative comfort for the moment. I salute you, Megan Dickinson. Keep up the good work.

Gives the phrase Blue Screen of Death a whole new lease on terror, doesn't it?
As I look to my left on the main page, I'm greeted with an OSDN Personals ad. ...
HAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
In all seriousness, did anyone actually CONSIDER that brain fart before passing it?
"Zero to seven? What about the Slashdot crowd?"
You mean they're not synonymous with each other?

Will someone explain to me why Gnome developers are referred to as hackers? Seriously, I'm not trolling. It just seems a little hubristic.
Wow, a 16nm process.
But will it run Doom 3?

To the moderator who labelled my previous comment "Trollish," grow a pair and buck up, lest someone offend your sensibilities again.
