If you think the matrix was "smart" you should try getting a lobotomy, it just might bump up that IQ, FUCKING COWARD. Now you may continue to eat my shit, seeing as how you are too weak to even use a screen name, FUCKTARD.
I completely agree- I absolutely adored Dark City. But it isn't for everyone. Sure, I liked the matrix, but when all your friends dig the matrix but couldn't get down with Dark City? Thats when you need to find some new friends.
actually, its a DCD/VD system, where you do get digital CD's, but you also get The Clap, (Which sucks. And itches, too) so its not as great as it sounds.
WTF? How, by whom, and most importantly why was "modifying source code" discredited?
We modify the source all the time. On non-open source software. Why? Because we buy licenses that allow us to see their source, we are better programmers, and we use it in a real-time sytem that people's lives depend upon.
Its his girlfriends... (you know how that goes). Still no excuse for not taking it back, but I guess she couldn't be bothered. Still, thats an expensice lesson.
You are either ignorant of the plethora of IPv6 address varaitions (no, it doesn't have to include your MAC address! And even if it did- SFW?! Hey, here's the MAC of my cable modem: 000B06A75742! FIND ME.) or just trolling. My Guess? Trolling.
Excuse me, IPv6 reducing privacy?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Go learn about IPsec and IPv6 because I can't waste my time on you.
Truly sitting around the artist collective in our double breasted suits drinking cognac has been destroyed by these perpetrators.
At least we still have our beloved Moet et Chandon! They can't co-opt that from us!
All this new technology and it seems that everyone's view of the world is getting smaller. Information overload, my man. Its what I imagine the high-level A&R or mid-level record exec goes through- stacks upon stacks of CDs and cassettes (well, not cassettes anymore) Trying the find hte next "It" band...
I myself have reams of songs I've never listened to- some CDs spanning back to my days as an undergrad DJ (WHSR! 530 AM! No, your radio dial DOESN'T go that low! And even if it did, you can tune us in anyway!)
I think you are just bitter because you used to be the only one drinking Covousier and then MTV played that Busta Rhymes video and now all your little friends drink it too.
Criticize MTV all you want for being a souless corporation, but if you check your Slashdot-Love-Hate meter, today we love MTV, because they are embracing new technology and doing the stuff we wish we could do (but are too busy authoring conspiracy theories and slash fiction in our parents basement).
So omnibrand or not (and they've been trying to become a font of omnimedia for years!) they are combining shiny things with techno dood-dads, and we here are slashdot think thats just fine and dandy.
Yes, your clarification where you added "personal" changes everything. That statement says more about the ignorance of the one who uttered it than it does about IBM's "market" position (whatever that means).
From the perspective of the large customer: They want to pay someone and have a contract for support. For the same reason "no one got fired buying IBM", No one got fired for buying a suport contract that they didn't fully use- only for not having a support contract for when they needed it.
While support contracts mean nothing to a 10 peson outfit with a linux hacker in their midst, larger corporations see a different story.
They want to cut costs, but they don't want to be left high and dry. This isn't for a working groups personal file server; this is for mission critical applications. They need to gaurantee minimum down times, and support contracts help managers sleep better at night.
Look at IBM... their new pSeries machines are crazy expensive- But you can run linux on them! Red Hat is gearing for the same market that IBM is- cost cutters and those switching from Solaris on the enterprise level.
ACtually, thats a really good point. Until someone leaks a memo which clearly shows FNC consulting their legal dept about suing the Simpsons, how do we know the Truth? Either way, its great advertising for both Groening and NPR.
dewd, it was a funny spoof on the lengths jerks (I mean, those in service industries) will go to not do some work for you. Kinda like how procrastinators work really hard at not working.
That was such a funny vignette,I'm laughing just thinking about it.
go choke on a cock, coward.

such a bloody waste of a multi DVD system.
Its even better since it won't play CD's burned from a SONY burner! (I know, I know, it's just a re-badged lite-on, but let me have my laugh!)
WTF? How, by whom, and most importantly why was "modifying source code" discredited?
We modify the source all the time. On non-open source software. Why? Because we buy licenses that allow us to see their source, we are better programmers, and we use it in a real-time sytem that people's lives depend upon.
Yes, some of our programs use linux, too.
Why hasn't the guy taken it back?
Its his girlfriends... (you know how that goes). Still no excuse for not taking it back, but I guess she couldn't be bothered. Still, thats an expensice lesson.
. Then you'll spread the word of wisdom: Don't buy this sh*t!
While at my friend's apartment I said "Hey. check out my new CD of songs I recorded! See if you can come up wtih some Lyrics!"
And he said- "Sorry, charlie. This here is a Sony DCD/CD system. It doesn't play home-made CD's!" some DRM "feature"...
So last weekend when I decided I needed a new system, I completely by-passed Sony.
I'm sure this trend will continue until either manufacturers put in "backdoors" to turn it off or they just don't put it in to begin with.
True that.
what you talking about my grandmamma for?! ;)
How come I get flame bait and you keep getting insightfuls?!
Oh, thats right. I forgot. Carry on, then!

I for one welcome our shiny new masters!
I always wondered what was between the 601 (the bridge chip, instruction set-wise, from the POWER family) and the 603!
Oh well, maybe Intel can nab that lucrative contract selling chips for Infinium Lab's "Phantom"
Hahaha! +5 funny!

Add a skull mask and turntables and go as Dr. Octagon, the octagonecologyst.
Or
Beleive the hype and stay home listening to this product of obviously deranged minds. You'll thank yourself for it.
Kurt Cobain was here but Doc Oc has novacain...
you said nutmeat. ;)

This illustrates the level to which our /. has sunk. A Troll trolling Slashdot!
/. has risen. Keep up the good work!
Wait, what was that?
This just in: this illustrates the level to which our

1)hype console
2) Depend upon the utterance "You people buy every console there is."
3) Profit!
Yes folks! They have revealed the elusive and often obfuscated STEP 2!
Hallelujia! No longer do I have to steal underpants to build a business!
here is the hard "truth", or something close enough too it.
