All Microsoft jokes aside, your sig doesn't make sense. How can you call one of the most profitable companies in the world that turned even lowly 'secretaries' into millionaires a failure? Do the math. High Profit != failure.

This story is where I got that idea from. And I don't know where you come from, but 500mhz is NOT typical any more. After all why should it be when you can get a 1+ ghz barebones kit for under $300. At that price its not worth it _not_ to upgrade. And mods... Give me a break, my original post was in no way trolling. I was stating a fact which the editors of slashdot failed to notice and then making a joke about it. Grow a sense of humor.
The one I read had (c) 2001 at the bottom of it... (The one I pulled that quote from) And all you moderators that think my post was trolling can bite my ass and then get a sense of humor.

I find it rather hillarious that an article from around a year ago is news today... Quote: By comparison, a typical desktop PC today has a processing speed of 500 megahertz, with 64 megabytes of memory and a hard disk containing 10 gigabytes (10,000 million bytes) of storage. Sheesh, outdated much?
And this makes./ front page... I think I'll submit a story about man's first steps on the moon.
Aha! But he was wrong, the device surely would have been a hit on late-night infomercials... Right along side the Ab-Roller(tm) and Girls Gone Wild - Doggy Style.
If I might point out, the parent poster did actually 'inform' us of something, not that the information was relevant, but thats besides the point. However, modding up a post for sharing that a hospital still uses a main frame??? What a waste of perfectly good troll food.
Pshaw! You think big media is very right wing? What kind of crack have you been smoking (and how did you find my source, I thought he only dealt to me). You must be very left wing if you consider the media to be right wing. There are hardly any papers/networks out there that don't at least put a little left spin on just about everything, most of the time bigger than that. The people that own them are most definitely not conservatives.
As if this hasn't been covered enough... But ISP's inherently track users. Pretty much every request is logged, its part of the business, get used to it. However, its not the tracking thats the problem, its what they do with it. If all that information does is sit in a log file until subpoena'd (or until the end of time, whichever comes first) then it does no harm. But ComCast was sharing (read: selling) the information to its valued associates. That's a big dirty no-no.
Heh, I agree... I especially like the one that had the article on burning man... Can't remember which issue it was (somewhere around aug 96-97) but it was great because it had a topless girl with blue tits smack dab in the middle of the magazine... Gotta love good ol' Wired.

I too am an ASP.NET developer and I feel sorry for ya man... VS.NET with only 450mhz would drive me batty.
Heh, I totally agree. For as much crap as people give Bush, I really wouldn't want to see any of the other candidates in his shoes right now.

Unless we're specifically talking about the moon-landing thing which in Soviet Russia would probably get the editor shot :P
Well.. Only the very desperate and p2p illiterate, but the subject line just says it all.
Sure didn't take long though did it? :P

KazaaLite works pretty well... And without quite as much spyware.
Heh, as much as I hate replying to AC's, bravo, cause that shit was funny.

Wow... A new definition of the Slashdot Effect. Post an article, alot of people bitch, and they stop doing it... Hmm.. Kinda fishy.
Fucking moderators, i meant the parent.
