DIGG SUCKS!!!!! Stop trying to become it. Two completely non-nerd non-tech stories in two days.. Things are not looking good here for the future of slashdot. If I want a discussion on the politics of health I will go someplace that discusses that. And for the people going to respond "Don't read it" Digg is our warning. See what happened over there when they started letting these sorts of discussions. For a community forum to remain a place for intelligent dialog it need to remained focused. If we've learned anything from the web, it's that.
AMEN to Anon over here. I saw one tech community destroyed by stories like this. I come here to get away from digg. If you like stories like this feel free to hang out at digg, or it's stupider little brother reddit, but don't ruin yet another online tech community.
I don't think digg is competition for slashdot. Slashdot is a tech/science news website designed to facilitate discussion and community. Digg is a hoard of thirteen year olds posting stupid videos led by a drunken man.
I was really big on digg back in it's early days. It started as a small community of web devs and techy people. The early digg was dominated by good tutorial, cheap deals, and other stories of interest to web devs. Sadly it quickly went down hill once it became popular. It got overun with myspace kids and weird political conspiracy theorists. By about Sept 2005 Digg was dead. All my friends had left and there are only soo many videos of some dude getting hit in the groin, and so many "Bush is a moron who happens to be an evil genius" that intelligent people can take. Digg is the wasteland of the internet a collection of myspace level users posting stupid content. Intelligent users fled digg over a year ago.
Little note. A butter knife worked fine for me. I didn't need a putty knife and didn't scratch the case. Once apart its really easy to get at the ram and installing a new HD isn't thar hard either. A little tricky getting the cddrive off but once that happens the rest is self evident.
"t won't use memory cards until they're reformatted (thus causing any saved games to be lost);" Utterly false lie.
" it won't accept the PS2 hard drive, so Final Fantasy XI players are SOL;"
Not a flaw a design decision. If you are a PS2 FFXI player you already have a system and the HD
"it won't accept the network adapters that the old PS2 system used;" Comes with the network adapter built in numnutz.
" it breaks easily (judging by some of the reviews on Amazon.com); it overheats easily due to the absence of a cooling fan;" Unfounded rumors. Getting you info from amazon reviews is almost as stupid as believing what people post on/.
"Looks like a Nintendo DS in the stocking for me this Solstice.:)" Yep you are a fanboy
"Sheesh, you talk like a company is some sort of non-coporeal life form making decisions and then ordering its human slaves to comply."
This is actually one of the best definitions of a coorporation I have ever seen. The greatest threats to freedoms are not governments and terrorists(though they are a threat). Coorporations more then anyother institutions are working diligently to remove your rights to make you dependent on the coorporation for everything so that a few ultra rich people can make a few more bucks.
If I was a woman I would be terribly offended by this. I mean come on. This article re-enforces all the stereo type. Women only care about fashion and pretty colors, women are too stupid to work on an engine. Way to insult the target market. And I thougt I was sexist.
All corporations hate you and everyone else. Though in this case I think they are justified in firing him. I mean if people just start posting pictures they take at a closed source business proprietery secrets could be leaked.
But the answer to the problem of abundance is simple. Wait. The rate at which our abundance is destroying the resources that create the abundance will soon lead to scarcity. Food is a good example. The rate at which farmable land is being destroyed is astronomical. This short sighted consumerist mindset will eventually destroy itself. And like any natural system that grows to large for its resources will be restored to a level of equilibrium. Sad to note that "restored to a level of equilibrium" mean a whole lot of death and horror. But that is what happens when people as individuals and corporate entities don't make moral decisions.
It's something that has really been bothering me lately. Not just about this situation but about much of the shit that is going on driving the world down. How can people be evil and not care. When I do something wrong I feel bad about it and sometimes even try to make up for what I did. I don't just keep doing more evil stuff. Makes me shake my head.
Apearently being unemployed doesn't stop you from being a blinded liberal ranting againts the evils of Bush.. Sigh its morons like this that are ruining this country. Open your eyes you moronic liberal. Oh wait moronic liberal that's redundent.
This list should be titled: The Top 25 Wacko Nutball Leftist Propaganda Lies. These are the type of lies they put on Communnism Now.. er oops I meant democracy now. Hey if your ideas can't handle intelligent discussion just spread lies to coerce the weak minded.
First, if you do yoga or meditation to "get something out of it" you really don't understand the point. Ah the american pragmatism, rip something out of its deep philosphical underpinnings that make it beautiful to get people to work 18 hour days. Second, if you are working 18 hours a day and you job isn't meaningful(just making money for some heartless faceless company) you are moron and are wasting your life. Quit and start doing things of real importance. Finally, what about people who reject to this on religious grounds. I am sure they will be offended unless ofcourse you let them go off for an hour and pray to Allah or whichever.
idiotic waste of time. Oh boy lets be "ingenious" and make the exact same freaking movie. Hey I got an idea how about getting alife losers. Sheesh I think I will be ingenious and do a word for word rewrite of shakespears. WHY IS THIS NONSENSE ON SLASHDOT!!
My WOOHOOO about my clie finally syncing with my mac was cut short when I realized it was only syncing the memo nothing else. No calender no address book. odd.

Am I seeing slashdot turn into digg before my very eyes. I shudder in terror. I left digg because naive political commentary.
A point of clarification, I worked there for almost 10 years and its NCSA NOT "the NCSA". We get touchy about that :)

" "Most biologists believe that Earth is currently undergoing its sixth mass extinction."
That statement is just a lie. I have worked with several biologists helping them run simulations, not a single one believed this.
come to mind once again:
"I've said it before, and I'll say it again: democracy just doesn't work. "

I can pull number out of my butt just as easily.. A person who believes this guy is 1 out of 10 likely to get sucked in by a nigerian mail scam.

Might want to get a clue before typing next time.
