there are so many PHBs, so-called "Security Engineers" and other FUD gobblers that it might just take Gartner proclaiming the existence of Firefox, before anyone in Corporate America listens.
Easy, do a quick edit of YOUR html code to point to "cool_image2.jpg" instead, rename the real picture to "cool_image2.jpg", and drop the Goatse bomb in there, named to "cool_image.jpg" or whatever they're linking to. The funny part is, you can go read THEIR blog for some days before they notice:
"blah blah blah, and here's a picture of us at the park blah blah blah.
Even funnier, is to go back later, after they fix it, and read all the comments, etc.
for creating a system where uneducated people in uncivilized countries can stop their endless cycle of backbreaking labor, to play video games, for 3. Profit!
Anything which reduces the visibility, impact and influence of "ESR" can only be a good thing. Next we take down Cringely, Dvorak, Perens and JonKatz, and the "hoser level" of the technical world drops dramatically. I, for one, welcome our non-obnoxious, bathing-daily, non-debian-fanboy overlords.
The world has been warming since the end of the Little Ice Age ca. 1850. Carbon dioxide levels have been rising since then due to industrialization. Post hoc ergo propter hoc is a logical fallacy. What about global dimming, it was all the rage last week?!
Don't fall for the classic Slashdot fallacy - that anything you read here, or say here, has any bearing on the world as a whole. We're a microcosm of geeks, our opinions do NOT reflect the majority, nor CAN our opinions affect the opinions of the majority.
when the security weenies that work for my company are among the lamest, most rigid, least intelligent or intellectually curious technical people I've had the misfortune to work with. Give me an old crusty Unix admin over some alphabet soup Security Professional any day.
Its what real men do. Real men work in over-capacity, understaffed environments, where the "Test Lab" budget is instead spent on things like "Six Sigma Training" and "Employee Appreciation Week".
is a good thing, if you limit it to the "not trampling on people's rights, and sticking to the business of keeping others from doing the same". When the government gets into the "everyone must be equal at all times" game, thats when things start to get ugly.
What if Apple threw a party, and nobody cared? Seriously, whats the point of "being there" when Jobs presents the latest i device, or piece of software? You'll be stuffed in an auditorium with a bunch of unwashed geeks, all basking in their self-affirming Mac/Photoshop/Unix love, watching Steve Jobs on a projection screen talk about why you should give him more dough. This sounds like Flamebait, and to some it might be, but seriously, whats the point of witnessing the launch of a new Apple product?
you know, the one where the ceiling is blue sometimes, and other times black, with little white LED lights, and the HVAC goes on the blink for half the year? Seriously dude, if you have "5 kilobux" to spend, take a month-long vacation in style somewhere, your life will be better off than if you spent 100's of hours in the dark watching Family Guy reruns.
I've been bitchslapped for reading anti-slash.org, so I'll never have karma. You're setting the market up as a straw man here - we have some 1GHZ Transmeta blades here, and they're as slow as molasses in winter. Their stuff is either crap, or they haven't found the right market. Either way, good old supply and demand kicks in - no demand, so they can't move any supply, and thus, are bleeding cash. When they come up with a cheap x86 CPU that performs (Via anyone?) then maybe they'll ship some units.
The liar, scoundrel and drunk behind the "SDA" and similar useless, but buzzword-compliant products at Verisign nee Guardent nee DefendNet. Put enough spin on a pile of shit, and stupid people will buy it. Link here
WTF is TechTV and WTf is G4, other than a type of Macintosh? I mean, I know that its New Year's Day, but can we have some news thats interesting to more than 7 people?
And when you've filled the rack that the server is in, where do you stick your disk array? Or do you only populate your racks 1/3 full, to allow for additional capacity, just in case? When the server in the 1U case needs more disk, where do you add it? How do you add space w/o taking the server down? A TB is 1000 GB, which is 100 10GB servers. Any decent sized shop will easily suck up a TB. Any large shop will devour lots more.
You want manageability. You want the ability to take "some disk" and add it to a server, anywhere, at any time. You want the ability to grow/shrink the filesystems on those servers. You want redundancy, and you want top notch vendor support. Direct disk might be faster, with local processing handling the FS buffering in local RAM, but what happens when ServerA needs 20G of the 100G disk you installed in ServerB?

slow HD, UMA video, short on RAM or slow RAM... any of these things could limit video playback. Who needs a 3 GHz CPU to just watch a video???

I want to build a fileserver, can you help me?

Is this some sinister plot, or does Google have plans to capitalize on the glut of unlit fiber?
Why do you have to insert blatantly false trolls? And why do the mods approve of it? What is this, kuro5hin?
AFAIK, Google doesn't search OOo documents. Whats up with that?
dude, are you high, or just typing with your feet?

And the funny thing is, you continually welcome your statist overlords - wake up and smell the socialism!

When will Slashdot return to its "News for Nerds" motto, instead of just being a news aggregator, with (insightful?) blogging?
