Head Engineer: We messed up big time. Why did we make a product that was useful in other ways than what we designed?
Head of Marketing: Meh. We need some type of product that's useless to anyone.
HE: I know! What if we have a way to connect your TV to your computer? Geeks use TV tuners cards in their computers, and REAL geeks- the kind who can reverse engineer anything, don't watch TV!
Not profitting hasn't stopped companies like Amazon.com.

By your logic either no-one should be able to live in a big, expensive mansion or we all should. If you want to go into space, work hard (or steal stuff; or have your parents work hard or steal and then have them die) and make a deal with the Russians yourself.
That having been said, I'd give my left testicle to go into space. That'd be so cool... Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait for the flying cars and stuff to take me.:(
Yow, you must have been really bored. of course, they're not permission denied to those of us in the EverythingDevelepment usergroup, and I can sincerly tell you that there's nothing interesting in the lot. It's just snips of code and dbtables and the like... It's restricted more so that we don't scare noobs away rather than to keep the db secure.
Even though I'd be old enough to buy violent games by the time this went through, I would not want to live in a world where kids had to play "hey mister" to get games.
"Hey mister... would you buy Duke 4Ever for me? Please?"
The Levi jeans websites Hemos refers to were these sites that Levi Jeans did for some reason... I think they're still up: http://www.rubberburner.com and http://www.supergreg.com... I'm sure there were more.
Slashdot Mirror
That would be great...
TV: "My name is inigo montoyo. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
Computer: TAKE TWO DRINKS

In my experience, how well you do in a fight is inversely proportional to how much you play online RPGs.

It's a very complex system, but basically everything on the system is a node, including node itself.
It's obvious that they came up with the thing while under some sort of cerimonial chemicals.

Shut up.

His name is Douglas Daft.
Douglas... DAFT .
Heh.

Anyone else find it kind of ironic that the site's been slashdotted?

"Hey mister... would you buy Duke 4Ever for me? Please?"
Shudder
-------
Exactly. I've been making poor looking sites now for years, for absolutly nothing.
-------
Good catch. Looks like Hemos is drunk after all.
-------
This is of course not to say that Hemos ISN'T drunk, of course... He still could be drunk and talking about rubberburner and supergreg, I suppose.

Not if you could connect to the 'net... E2 from a few miles up... YES

Fair enough. Proceed.
