Nope, loyal visitor since the late 90s. I witnessed the rise and fall of comments, moderation system, hot grits and Natalie Portman, the daily Turd Report and much much more.
I'd give this site less than a year before its finally pawned off to another owner and the domain recycled. The "news" here is days or even weeks old and the owners can't figure out how to ban one persistent comment spammer.
You sir are a genius! How could no one in any of those huge companies with thousands of attorneys and accountants come up with your idea? Please give me your contact information so I can warn them of their impending errors.
Poorly worded headlines are the least of your worries here. We still have to deal with advertisements disguised as stories and summaries that contradict what the article really says.
The aviation industry is slow to make changes to anything. Their radios still use amplitude modulation and people expect them all of a sudden to switch to encrypted digital protocols?
Seriously what does it even do? I see a facebook post saying someone has checked into Burger King via foursquare and think oh good for them. What does that do for me?
If by "parasitic" you mean legally licensed BSD code then yes. They might have based their first IP stack from BSD code but then again wouldn't anyone do this instead of writing from scratch? I know the command line FTP program in WinNT was BSD based. But again why rewrite something when you have mature established code to license from.
Its still a computer. The only changes are newer software and system on chip devices. Break these down and its still the basic building blocks of the original IBM XT.
All those advances you spoke of are incremental and following a logical progression. It's not that revolutionary. I'm talking about a Mr. Fusion reactor to power every home revolutionary.
Except the Chromebook costs half as much and has a real keyboard. So you buy a $500 iPad, a stand, and a keyboard? Why not buy a real laptop for that money?
Chromebooks are awesome for non tech folks. Buy one for your parents and you'll never get another tech support call. I'd call the $249 Chromebook a deal for what you get. Yes they do have slots for more storage including USB. Stop trying to cram Linux on something just because you can. Great you installed Linux, now what? Meanwhile people are using them for their intended purpose. If you want a real laptop then buy one. I'll never understand the Chromebook hate on here.
April fools is the LEAST funny day on the internet. Most of the everyday Slashdot stories are jokes already with their blatant typos and flat out wrong headlines.
Not really. But Slackware is probably the only distro I'd consider running. Most other distros have so much bloat and dependency on scripts that modifying anything breaks stuff. I really dislike how far things have changed from the 2.0 kernel days.

SPARC would like a word with you as well. When the Ultra workstations first hit the market, 32 bit software actually ran slower under 64 bit Solaris.

You're a bit late with your news. The Saudi national was swiftly deported for "national security reasons".
The world is better off without him. After getting a single bullet to the skull take the corpse and throw it in the trash.

What happened before cell phones were invented?
You know the material and got a degree. Everyone is happy. What is the problem?
How do you edit FILM with software?

Does anyone use whatever this article is talking about?

hardware accelerated playback for cpus that have no issue playing 1080p content. Guess this will help anyone stuck with a netburst P4 or Celeron.

This was to prove that selling your OLD PHONE can raise security issues

What makes you think the janitors who post the badly worded and misspelled articles read any of the comments?
No actually. I'm more of a BSD fan.

So we're back to the heavy mainframe and thin client topology now?
