I thought a lot of the bacteria in and on humans were good ones, which are required to be fit and healthy and function properly. What happens to those?
So they patent putting it in a single cell? How obvious is that? Putting something else than text in a cell? No matter what, it's a graph, it's line art, an image, images and lines have been rendered by computers for decades, no matter if it's in a cell of a spread sheet or in a window or in whatever else, no matter if the image is synchronized with some numbers from somewhere else and what not, I fail to see any innovation at all, it's just plotting of a graph based on numbers.
Back when KDE 4 didn't exist yet, I also hated Nautilus. But actually currently Nautilus 2.28.1 seems quite OK to me, there's nothing about me that irritates me (except a few things and that is that you can't drag a box around files to select them and that you can't get the right click menu with "create new folder" and "open in terminal" if the file list is as big as the screen because it only opens the file right click menu then, but that's just a minor irritation because the options are also in the File menu). It's much less irritating than both file managers in KDE 4. Either Nautilus has simply become good over the years, or I'm just more tolerant after having seen KDE 4.
But I'm very scared for what they're going to do with Gnome 3. Also ruin everything one is used to and create a new, irritating, user interface that tries to be innovative, but destroys all handy little things that one is used to after years and years of graphical OS usage?
Oh yeah, and I really believe that they'll fix all annoyances I have had with KDE 4. I'm a happy KDE 3.5 user. They screwed KDE 4 BY DESIGN, so I suppose the bugs they'll fix now again are just some bugs of fancy unneeded things, and not UI problems with important base components, such as the file manager, the terrible not useful search function of Kate (with its different search term per file instead of sharing them), the extremely hard way to drag a box with the mouse around files in the file manager, etc..., there were so many glitches, I worked with KDE 4 for 2 months, but switched back to 3.5 almost exactly a year ago and probably forgot most of the things that made me angry back then. Oh yes, here's another one: the inability to make two rows of taskbar at the bottom.
I would. A human can adapt to any environment. It's not like I'm so fixated on the life style I currently live, I could manage in a totally different environment, as long as it's a friendly one. Plus I'm curious and very interested in the future. Plus your friends can go in cryo too!
I used to like KDE 3.5 more than Gnome. Now I like Gnome more than KDE 4, because all handy things of the desktop are lost with KDE 4's new way.
And now Gnome is also going that route? NOOOOO!
The originality lies in the combination of that xkcd (which I'm sure both the author of the post and his intended audience know) with the topic of this slashdot article. Genious.
All the scanning and waiting in line for it and having luggage checked and so on is such a big time sink. I don't think I'd ask for another detector, because I'm just happy if I'm finally there instead of waiting in line and just want the whole process to be over as fast as possible.
What, USB 2 slow? Seems like you never tried to transfer 3GB of photo's to a PC that only has USB 1. Seriously, USB 2 is FAST. If you want slow, try USB 1.
I'm not interested in twitter and I'm already annoyed by the huge amount of auto generated blog pages that result from google searches these days. I'm using Wikipedia more and more than Google to search things because with Wikipedia I know I'll get an interesting page as result, not some unwitty blog page. And now even MORE twitter and similar things are going to mixed into this? No thanks.
Doom's gameplay is very fun, and there are only few modern games that are similar to it. The original Serious Sam games were similar. Games with good stories are good, but games like Doom are too. Does every game need to have a story? A movie or a fiction book without story, that is bad. But for a game it shouldn't be a negative criticism if it doesn't have one. Depending on the style and purpose of the game, just being fun is enough. Many modern games feel too heavy and slow paced to match the fun of fragging monsters seen in Doom.
I download my Nvidia drivers from the Archlinux package repository. How many Linux users manually download them from Nvidia? The 0.5 percentage could be a big understatement...

I'm already appalled just by seeing all these stock happy face images. Also, never heard of it before. What is this for stuff, man.
Since when is Google responsible for the content on the Internet?? I thought it just showed what was there, no matter what.
Seriously. I wonder what they mean by that? What machines really send automated messages if they feel the building in which they are located collapse?
Slashdot is "news for nerds". The news part may be missing here, but the nerds part counts double: Ubuntu AND Anime!
No thx, don't combine inkscape with the crappy 1000-separate-windows-floating-on-your-desktop-Gimp interface
I patent posting articles about patents related to patents!
Who says it? Well, it wasn't me.
What does it mean anyway? That you're infected in zero days?

Great, patent it, the less companies actually USE this crap, the better :) And I never used any Apple products so far so I'm FREE! Yay.

I patent replying to /. posts!
The new Mac mouse looks MUCH more sexy than this one. In the 90's the design of this one was already old fashioned!
Hmm, I rarely, if ever, manually type URL's. Do you often have to?

Lo, as in "Hello, here I am". I wonder if the internet is developing some kind of AI, after all it's a complex network just like the human brain is.
