Nothing compares to an IBM thinkpad, or at least old school IBM thinkpads. Thoose things are fucking tough motherfuckers.
I have had two(360?,701c) one as a replacement for the otherone failed on an unrelated note.
when I was in middle school I used carry a laptop to school. This was in the early ninties when computers where not yet acceptable to mainstream kids, and I got picked on for it. Not only that, it got knocked out of my hands, took a tumble down a flight of steps, kicked, swatted, punched, coffee spilled on it, and NOT ONE error due to physical violence. The thing is a tank I tell you, a motherfucking tank. Eventually the kids left me alone, and to this day, I still have that computer, although I forgot the bios password around y2k, and I can't get in without it. But as far as I can tell, it still works(thing was built in 1992).
8. Google is not your friend: Young, stupid script kiddies and many bloggers still think Google is "way kool," so by now Google enjoys a 75 percent monopoly for all external referrals to most websites. No webmaster can avoid seeking Google's approval these days, assuming he wants to increase traffic to his site. If he tries to take advantage of some of the known weaknesses in Google's semi-secret algorithms, he may find himself penalized by Google, and his traffic disappears. There are no detailed, published standards issued by Google, and there is no appeal process for penalized sites. Google is completely unaccountable. Most of the time they don't even answer email from webmasters.
exploit the system, YOU GET BURNED!!!!
I hate websites that thing the only thing that matters is how well they can exploit search engines and care little about content.
I would ask slashdot about not being sentient first. mabey someone who works on slashcode could actually tell you weather or not/. was self aware. Most webservers out there are not sentient beings, but/. always seemed a little brighter than the rest. I would deffinately do some research before declared slashdot not sentient, and non opinionated for that matter.
I guess those "I'd like to mount your hard drive baby, hyuk, hyuk" lines got you nowhere with the booth babes, huh ?
who cares, they are fun as hell. I do wish they were more geeky girls out there. And thoose fashion loving, emo wearing, whiney little bitchs with their iMacs and basic IRC or web admistraion knowlege/formal training, DO NOT COUNT.
By geek, I meen hobyist, chicks that do it for the love of the machines, WHO ARE ACTUALLY SMART, not the so called sub-culture everyone seems to associate with "geek" culture
I used shellyeah for a while, I didn't know if they were accepting new users anymore (there was a intresting bug in there auto new user script, and I forgot my password). I did the good samaritan thing and reported the bug, which alowed you to overwrite user accounts(real fun, I thought it would be funny to see what it did to root...making the system unsuable but I am not going to piss in the pot I take from.)
Look at that Spaceship - January 27: looking up The space shuttle Columbia (STS-107) will make a lovely series of morning passes over the United States this week.
quote from the site, I guess its a bit old, but still very very twisted
The average college student retains about 15% of what they learn in college, which is mostly liberal arts. Liberal arts stuff is not used to much in reall life, and grade inflation poses no serious risk to society.
HOWEVER. Science and Engineering knowlege is not there for esteem and show, most of it is dirrectly used in the real world. If a degree in engineering does not live up to its standards, it won't mean much. In addition, things like science and engineering like stated, are fields where wrong moves can cost lives.
explain to me exactly how things differ in a communist state, one that really exits, and not on in some ideal world. Because you know when push comes to shove, if we had communism, it would be the same sort of fools running the damn country. Explain to me how ENRON would be diffrent if it were a goverment subsidiary, like it would have been under communisim. They're still would have been corruption, only IT WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN DISCOVERED.
I think Enron is the ultimate proof that capitilisim in the US can work. Big corperation fucks up, big corperation goes under. Enron was not fit to survive and DIDN'T. Corperate exec's wealth should be taken from them to ensure they don't corrupt any other buisness.
Microsoft is on the list, someone who has the most experiance and most to gain in DRM!
Something smells rotten, and its not comming from IBM. I would seriously like to see how this new technology develops, sinec we all know IBM HATES microsoft, the chip might plug purposly put in holes in windows for all we know? WHY??!?!? Because its IBMs way of saying "fuck you, for fucking us over" to microsoft!
the same reason people use microsoft, people buy RIAA CDs, etc...
BECAUSE THEY WANT COFFEE, AND HAVE NO OTHER CHOICES!
The average person does not know of indie record stores.
The average person does cannot get anything working on their PC but windows. why? most don't even know of linux, other than mentioned in a few words somewhere
And since starbucks litterally DESTROYED the other coffee shops, people have no where else to buy coffee, and few know of the situation.
This is real intresting, but the writer of the artical could have used a little more "Proffesionalism in Journalism". While he did have a few valid points, he came across as a raving lunatic with a bigger case of ADD than I do, and that says a lot. speaking of which, did you check out that new palm pilot, a and wow, look I finally got debian installed, WAHOO!!!
I think you misunderstand microsofts relationship to IBM. IBM HATES microsoft with a passion. Why else would they spend millions upon millions of dollars on a competing OS. They are still sore from that shitty deal they got from MS with DOS in the 80s, they are even MORE sore about OS/2(which was partially developed by MS)
IBM has bashed MS publicly on many occations, and there is no reason for IBM to co-operate with them, especially after investing in red hat so seriously.
I would not say "WOW IBM IS TEH RIGHT" just yet, we still gotta see what REALLY happens. Just as long as the end user is given the key at the end, it would work well, if not, its gonna suck. But in any case, it should be a removable chip, just incase someone buying "used" hardware doesn't get screwed.
Slashdot Mirror
and not enough bandwith :(
is this a good thing or a bad thing??? really??
you mean to tell me the could see a beach ball at intersolar distances????
that is fucking insane! Now not only if we descover alien life, we can see what they are eating for breakfast as well
I saw a bunch of people in wierd uniforms handing out leaflets advertising this.
I think they worked for Sci-Fi
Try firewire drivers, supposesly they get faster data transfers than IDE, even the lastest...

You abuse it, you loose it.
I hope theese fuckers fry themselves.
this is deffinately strange. no true techie would appreciate something that can't be modded/stripped down to original parts.

well, there goes the /. effect. Under new protocols, small webpages can get linked by slashdot, and still run the next day.
