This is fantastic. I had Comcast from 2005-2007 and during the last few months my connection went to shit. Basic diagnostics proved I was being throttled and when I asked my local branch they swore hell no. They were real nice, they came and checked my wires, but I knew. It was fine until I started up a torrent. I had practically no service the last three weeks I lived in that area and when I got my last bill I sent it back to them with a nice note explaining that I hadn't received any service and had no intentions of paying for it. They keep sending me a bill for $80. I keep printing the same note. Now I'm gonna get my $16 and what the hell, I'll pay them the other $64. Just as long as somewhere a judge told them that was wrong and I don't gotta pay for all of it.
I think Eureka is a fun show but it's a pretty lame excuse for a flagship. If Sheriff Carter sticking his fingers into whatever goo he comes across is the best they've got, no amount of re-branding is going to save their ass.
About average for slashdot.
And anyone who doesn't think Bradbury's birthday is relevant on a tech forum needs their head checked, preferably into something made of steel.
Can we get an "allegedly" in that headline somewhere, mmm? How about between "security" and "rendered" ?
Slashdot: Sensational Headlines! News that's Not!
I completely agree, if I weren't a gamer, didn't need to use graphic arts programs, and hated running applications that hadn't been hastily cloned by some anonymous chump, I'd totally be running Linux full time.
Holy... this rules. You post a comment defending an operating system and you get mocked and belittled? Labeled "Funny"? I WASN'T KIDDING! Nothing but ad hominem attacks? You guys seriously can't handle the concept that the world's most profitable software company boasting the most prolific operating environments might have put out a product that god-forbid WORKS but gets a bad rap from elitist wannabe's who have more in common with the clueless end-user that can't cut the mustard han they'll ever admit? They'd rather pimp some second-class OS that no one can agree on which version is better, no one can choose which platform to develop, so its entirely impossible to profit from, so that lack of fucking coherence is touted as being "OPEN SOURCE! SO AWESOME WE CAN'T GET PEOPLE TO PAY FOR IT!" ??
...and I suppose I should add "and the user is willing to purchase/already owns a license"... I prefer Windows. Every time. Silly me, I can make it work.
Gee. No, Florida by way of Colorado. I'm also comfortable in Ubuntu, Knoppix and DSL. I use the latter two in the out-dated laptops I fix up and donate for fun. If the hardware can handle it, I prefer Windows, whichever ver is clever.
Vista kicks. I love it. If you actually know how to operate an operating system you don't have these hater troubles. XP was a lot cleaner but I haven't had an issue with Vista period and I've got mine trimmed down and rocking product.

General Products Hull #4.
you're supposed to snort the coke IN to your nose.
Maybe if Slashdot didn't report shit two weeks after the fact....

You beat me to it.
and it is awesome. Everyone should see this.
so which part of your post isn't true?
...and yet, here he is. Sharing his vivid insight with his Friends.
This, from "BadAnalogyGuy." I'm sure your 88th birthday will be remembered. By someone.

Again. Nothing of substance, just vomit-filled personal attacks from some self-important circlejerk with a Star Trek tagline. /yawn
...if stuff being posted on slashdot actually mattered. Keep patting yourself on the back, it'll pass time between the circlejerks.

ZOMG THAT'S SO FUCKING CLEVER Elitism can't handle a little bubble pop.
