Amen, brother. I had a party last weekend and all my friends asked if they could come. I told them to have their own party. Nothing makes a bag of chips disappear faster than a bunch of moochers.
We need an Obfuscated Flash contest. Like a Flash game that no one can figure out how to play or a Flash ad that you can't turn off or close. Something a little more 21st Century.
Heinlein, Card, Asimov, Sturgeon, King: all absolute lightweights. If you mean Ralph Ellison -- and you don't -- then you're on the right track with the last one.
Yes and no. Avalon Hill sued Hasbro (The Borg) over their computer game. The Borg responded by buying Avalon Hill and shutting them down, killing the RTS board game industry, though it was mostly dead already. Later, The Borg resurrected some titles, regurgitating their assimilated, sanitized version to Wal Mart consumers.
The Maxwell House® Family of naturally decaffeinated coffees offers the full-flavored taste of regular coffee, without the caffeine. Maxwell House® decaffeinates its coffees using pure water and natural effervescence. The effervescence gently draws the caffeine out of the beans, preserving their delicate coffee flavor.
I don't touch decaf, but who would genetically engineer decaf beans?
Lawrence of Arabia has the Intermission, too. One reason to leave it in is that they play the overture.

What led you to write the young adult novel Coraline? Was the writing process for Coraline fundamentally different than some of your other works? How did you control the prose to achieve a balance between richness of language and accessibility to your younger audience?
I expect free open source versions to appear in its place
I suspect you're right about the pending switch from free to pay, but I think this represents an area where Open Source and free (no charge) alternatives won't be able to compete. Creating knockoff Friendster software might take a (relatively) short time, but who will pay for the hardware and bandwidth? And if your software is now Open Source, any fool with a computer can be a competitor with a lower cost of entry and time to market. What have you gained? In my opinion very little in exchange for having a less viable product.
you are lucky to get past the title screen. Stop spreading lies. I got all the way to the login screen before it locked my computer. Actually doesn't look like a bad game. Windows users might fare better, though.
Back up to Election Day, Nov. 5. The balance of power in Congress was up for grabs. Yet by 10 a.m., the TV networks confirmed what they had feared for months: They couldn't derive any meaningful exit-polling data from a system they had just spent between $10 million and $15 million to overhaul.

So true. Foxit was good for a while, but it got as bad as Acrobat.
Yahoo! and Adobe are two companies that can't fall off the face of the earth fast enough as far as I'm concerned.
Agreed. Not a troll. Valid criticisms of Eclipse.
Netbeans, on the other hand, is only used by pedophiles, so GP should be ignored on those grounds.

I read it the same way. The only cure is more internet.

There are other search engines.
I don't know why I bother, but copyleft has nothing at all to do with non-profit.

Sub 300K uid's denote knowledge? That's good to know. :-)
Coincidence is not causality.
Real geeks do browse /.

Oh, wait...damn.

when slashdot was in it's infancy was it populated by windows geeks?
Yes.

Thanks for the feedback. I have not been to it in anything other than Mozilla with popups disabled. You're right...it's worse than a porn storm.

That's 2002.
take a gander at Seamus Heaney's new translation.
The best translation is Rebsamen's. And at $6, the price is right.
