If slash was developed properly, it would be almost EXACTLY as simple as changing 1 flat page. Have you ever looked at slashcode? It's the only code I've seen which is worse than the abombination that is bugzilla.
Another rule you should never forget is that prepositions are not good words to end sentances with.
You should NEVER use Apt/Yum to upgrade fedora

This is what I have been told by fedora developers. I run a dedicated server, and have been told there's a better chance of fucking it up than having it work once I upgrade, and UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES to just change 1 to 2 and do an apt-get dist-upgrade.
There's NOTHING on the mozilla sites about this being a.2 release. In fact, on the download page for sunbird it specifically states, "At the moment Sunbird is in an experimental, though quite stable stage. We offer no release builds at the moment, only builds intended for testing and development purposes."
There's no.2 tagged directory, it's just a pull from the nightly/latest directory.
While I agree that some notifications are annoying, when the laptop comes back from being asleep it has to renegotiate the wireless connection. It could be gone since it went to sleep, you could have moved the laptop, or anything. It's letting you know it established a new connection, as it should.
I believe you are lying, or at the very least mistaken. Please name your: -video card -exact driver version -dvd player software
Nvidia put in some macrovision protection in some of their drivers, so you likely changed drivers while changing to SP2 and conveniently left that out of your story. the fact that you "rolled back" instead of "uninstalled" leads to to believe this is the case, as a rollback liekly took you back to your last driver install since SP2 is uninstallable through A/R programs and doesn't need a restore point.
This IS an issue, but an nvidia driver issue. It's only on certain macrovision protected dvds with a certain flag set in the macrovision properties.
Everyone who moderated that old legendary "whats wrong with slashdot" thread (focusing on too much downward moderation, ironicly enough) a +1 had their rights taken away. For a while I couldn't moderate OR metamoderate. After a while, I could meta, but I still haven't gotten a single mod point since then, and my karma is perfect.
This is about email interfaces, not calendar standards.
Sign up for a test oddpost account and try to open it with ANY non-IE browser. It doesn't work. For a webmail client that's a fairly big deal.
I don't mind TOO much that exchange isn't -insert-everything-here- complaint because I CAN hit its web interface from firefox in linux and get my work email and calendar. It's not as nice as using it in IE, but it does WORK. That's more than can be said about oddpost.
This is to compete with yahoo groups, and the old egroups when it existed. It's not meant to have anything to do with usenet. It lets you host an email listserv-type-thing but with a web presence too, without having to have your own server.
Not only can you not read the article, you can't even read the story text.
Here, I'll help you:
"spam from their network has dropped 35 percent"
The important thing is HOW MANY OF THOSE 500 ARE FROM COMCAST'S NETWORK?. Also, compare that to your 2 months ago rates of spam coming from comcast's network.

My friends and I saw him at UGA when we were all 17 (1996). Being immature highschool seniors, after hearing him talk and getting an autograph we stole his evian bottle he'd been drinking from. We were typical highschool DNA-idolizing geeks.
We'd noticed DNA sniffling and coughing the entire talk, and he mentioned he was feeling a bit off. A friend finally drank the water in the bottle, and came down with DNA's cold a day later.
It sounds stupid (and honestly was) now, but it's amazing how "cool" it is for a friend to catch your favourite author's cold when you're 17.
Type in "localhost" in your address bar (assuming you don't have one, or "forgot" to start your web server on your machine).
(this is in firefox.8 btw, I don't use pre-* stuff)
Tell me that's not "cute". Granted, it is based on google, but you could googlebomb some normal non-sites to really annoy people.
Also, i've never seen IE automatically install ANYTHING, when it's fully patched, without the user pressing "yes," and there's PLENTY of sites out there putting ad-ware XPI's out that prompt you every time you go to the site.
I'm a VERY happy firefox user (on both linux and XP), and convert all my friends and family, but FUD can come both both sides.

Freecache only stores files > 5 megs, and ONLY stores what you tell it to. Linking freecache-style to an index page will only cache that index (IF it's >5megs), not the whole site.
What is it with all the useless freecache links lately?
You have it backwards. SA does not want millions of pagehits and advertising is flat rate and CHEAP (not impression or click through based). SA is the site that redirected to goatse for links from slashdot b/c the traffic wasn't welcome.
SA is a fairly tight-knit community which is interested in new PARTICIPANTS, but isn't interested in fark-style "OMG WE GOT 3284324 HITS!!!" style people or pure leechers.
It's all about what you can contribute to the whole.
The only scam-style things on SA are the "true media" reviews, which are meant to draw out crazy rabid fans of XYZ, and are blatently obvious if you're not a complete idiot.
BT can use push or pull to both download and upload files. The announce method contacts all clients you're connected to with what you have.
So say you're behind a firewall. -You ask the tracker for peers, and see me. -You connect to me and ask me what I have. -I say "these bits," you ask for some and start sending. -I ask you (on that same socket) "hey, what do you have?" -You tell me, I try to connect to you, and fail. I tell you I failed, and say "hey, you connect to ME and send me these bits" -you do so, and you're uploading!
The problem with firewalls is (obviously) two people with unholed firewalls in place cannot communicate. BT could eventually try some SIP style tricks to get around it, but for now at least one of you has to have ports open.

When the supreme court is "definatly" republican, there is a 99.9% chance roe vs wade will be overturned. That is how you will know.

How is this mouse useless, btw? I has buttons, a scrollwheel, and is optical. On top of that it's ambidextrous. It's also relativly cheap.

They're NOT local admins.
They're normal users who are in the sudoers file. That's why it needs their password.
Large difference. Running windows as an admin is basically like running as root, which linux will let you do, but OSX won't AFAIK.
They didn't HAVE to. They did this in the same vein as getting a preliminary injunction, to avoid being sued.
They had two options:
-Do this, and now tv networks/etc have to sue the FCC to get the ruling changed
-NOT do this, and have every tv network sue them once it goes live, and have it likely have to be disabled during the trial
Which option is better for their customers, and more importantly, investors?

Auto-update doesn't pick this one up on my XP box, though, making it useless since there's a security update out there!
How often does the average MAC user have a DVI viewer, c code, a TeX file, and a plotting program open?
I mean, they've got to develop for who they're selling to.
Look into "smarthost." Every MTA I know of supports it, and it's the proper way to do it.

You can make ANY of your bookmarks into a quicksearch by putting a %s in it, saving it, then going to properties and giving it a keyword.

He did it and thought it was "cool," submitted the story, and the wonderful slashdot editors staff posted it.
