MS: doesn't release bug fixes because their are no bugs. Only security updates and service packs to appease people.
Sun: releases a bug fix with an even bigger bug.
Linux: released bug fixes quickly.
And that's it, linux will forever be in last because of the fact they can't follow simple rules. You would think that everyone had a copy of Linux's source the way bugs are spotted and fixed so quick.. sheesh. Perhaps we should try and sell the source of linux to India?
So because it's in a FAQ, that means it must be followed and/. can't be held responsible? Think about what you are saying here. That because the editors of slashdot have placed the information about my post in a FAQ that they are unable to resolve the problem and will of course not be liable for anything they do socially, morally, or legally?
okay... here's a FAQ question to add.
Q: Why do you insist on selling crack to children?
A: Simple, children are more likely to get hooked at a younger age and will be less likely to turn us in to the cops.
does this make it inherintly right because it's written in a FAQ?? well... does it???
I betcha if I draw a circle with pi equalling 22/7 and you use the 124 trillionth spot... they'll look pretty similar, know why? Because calculating pi beyond 22/7 is silly.
I know it's been said quite a few times, but this really isn't responsible. What if that host pays by the transfer of data? It's saturday, more than likely the admin is not working today and has no way to take the site down to alieviate the massive stress. If slashdot wants to continue this, they really need to find a cache system, this isn't responsible or fair, especially for a weekend.
Mod -1 OffTopic -1 OverRated -1 Troll... you may mod me however you see fit, but realize that these moderations will not surprise me....
you slashdot the website the cd images are stored on and you want us to review them? Basically you've set the project back almost 2 days until the story leaves the front page.
... that someone who could calculate pi to that precision would realize the number was infinite, no matter how much he tries, it will just keep going. Hence we will never see a "perfect" circle (unless you're talking the band..)... or will we?
Pi is represented usually by a fraction or relatively simple equation, it's just the division that makes the number go on for ever. I don't understand why we must break pi down into a decimal when it can already be represented by a simple fraction. Figuring pi beyond the ten thousandth spot is overkill.
However, it has always been a bragging right for many a geek to find as many places in pi as possible, and now that has been accomplished. I also have created a new world record. Taking the equation two divided by three I have found the 100000 trillionth digit... it's "3"...
Why is everyone gung ho on creating new programming languages. What the hell is point of all these languages. I'm still learning cobol in college right now. I'm off to Java next, and will barely learn C++. So it's no wonder no one uses these "great" languages, no one teaches them. Let's work on the languages we have instead of making new ones. This is like gnome and kde, and for everyone who's gung ho about replying "these are what gives us choice
", free is free people the only thing different between kde and gnome is the developers, they're all just trying to be another mac os/windows clone.
Have you actually read the books?

MC makes books with semi-resolved endings to make them believeable. If only a certain amount of people are involved and most of them die, then it gives a feeling of "what if this really did happen". If you want to know about the what-if's use your imagination. I don't understand why books just can't end anymore, not everything was designed to be a freekin series.
I personally love every one of MC's books and own them all. He spices a touch of science fiction, but uses the same idea as Sixth Day with "the not so distant future". He takes new technologies that are more than likely going to become standard... and puts them in his books. Some people really need to understand that there's a reason there are so many books, obviously no one is going to like them all.
then you get 2000 songs with your gateway. Lets see... average 15 songs a cd.... 2000 / 15 = 133... times $17.00 for the average CD... $2267.00 free !!!... and it's not your fault you did BUY the computer and that just came with your computer. Same thing goes for when you buy a box from an auction, to find it's full of gold, to the victor go the spoils.
Xeran is what I use. They are a linux shop that have killer bandwidth, and don't have a limit. I get 300 megs storage, unlimited pop accounts, someone who I can actually call on the phone, prompt service etc.
They don't offer telnet/ssh access with their accounts, but it's not neccessary as anything you want/need installed they do for you. You are basically free to do what you want with your service and I have yet to have a problem with them on anything. I wanted PHP4 and they installed it when they got my email and I was setup the same day I emailed them. There's other features from xeran, here's a few quick links:
They also offer co-location and dedicated server, but I don't see why you'd need that. What most everyone does with me is register a domain then they use dns from MyDomain and do a blind redirect to a subdirectory of my site. So they have their own.com and they don't pay a cent for it. If you can find somewhere that will host a free page for you, MyDomain might be all you need, they are free and do really cool things.
If you notice the last two look alike, but the address is different. It helps to know someone who is willing to offer some free space for sure, just ask all the moochers on my site:-)
There is no "perfect" consumer. 90% of the crap people buy is impulse anyways because it sure as hell isn't a neccessity to read a magazine, buy a movie, etc. For not-impulse purchases it's a bragging factor, 9 times out of 10 the average script kiddie can't tell the difference of quake 3 on a geforce 2 mx than a geforce 4 ti 4200, but they'll shell out the $500 for the geforce 4 simply to say "I've got a geforce 4", and it doesn't go away with age either, just talk to anyone who sells imported cars (no, not volkswagons).
You want a product that sells?? Give it a flashy package and get some famous people to say it's "cool". Look at the mini-rc cars "whoa shaq plays with them, they must be cool", or look at a Buick... okay wait, step back let's leave the buick's...
My point is still clear though, it's not our brain waves, not how we were raised, what we really enjoy, ask yourselves, when was the last time you used EVERYTHING you buy??
What was that number again 1-800-piracy... or I'll report you to the FBI!!! Ha, that'll teach ya, I even got your written confession!!!
Needless to say this article is completely silly to "us" slashdot types as it does not deal with issues we're familiar with. We aren't constantly trying to figure out how to use applications, we just do. We aren't constantly boggled by the inner workings of a computer, we just know. The one thing that is tough to grasp is that 98% of the people who comment on slashdot know more than 98% of the people who use computers. And that's why running an IT department is so expensive, "WE" screw them out of as much money as possible.
Well obviously by providing no real summary and an explanation for the link and including the name of a popular open source project, looks like we get to test!
This isn't a settlement, this is outright extortion and threatening legal action. I wouldn't be surprised if this vigillante justice against copyright violators is in itself prosecuted more harshly than posessing copyrighted material. No one can take the law into their own hands, no one.

Reseller accounts (Basically you can host webpages through them)

I have both a Ph.D. in computer science and an MFA in poetry.
I can't remember how I got by without IDE RAID ...
In fact I love IDE RAID so much I reccommend it to everyone I see on the streets ...
I even bought one for everyone in my family, just in time for the hollidays ...
Thank you IDE RAID, THANK YOU!

wait ... taken was the name of a show ...
Since over half the slashdot crowd uses IE, should there not be stories out when MS releases new versions of it?

They are saying pay me or I'll Sue. Settlement is suing then saying you don't want to anymore. One is a settlement one is extortion.
