The money that Limp's getting for that tour sponsored by Napster is to cover their expenses. From limpbizkit.com (the press release section) --
Napster will help to offset any hit the band might take by giving tickets away, as the "Los Angeles Times" reports that the band will get close to $2 million for the tour.
Limp Bizkit notes that the sponsorship money will go directly to the tour's production costs (travel, venue rentals, lights, etc.), and that Limp and Cypress Hill will not make any money on the outing.
Filling a normal PC case? No, no, no. Get skater pants, you know, the ones with tons of pockets in every place imaginable? And throw these things into every pocket, and that would be an insane Beowolf cluster! Not to mention the added benefit of being able to pour tons of hot grits down those wide leg pants!
1. If you have the ability to post at +2, but are posting a clearly off-topic post (like the parent of this thread), then take that fraction of a second to hit "No Score +1 Bonus". It saves moderators the trouble of knocking you down, it saves some of your karma (if you care), and it lets people who read at higher threshholds ignore more crap.
2. You took the time to put goatse.cx into a hyperlink? You sick, twisted man:)
As a rule, I don't moderate up posts that say "Moderate this Up!"
You said, Moderators have a limited amount of time to look through a lot of posts for important stuff. . Yes, they do have a limited amout of time to moderate, but 3 days is definately a good chunk of time. When I get moderator priveleges, I usually spend about a day & 1/2 to get rid of em (keep in mind I reload Slashdot incessently). Just let moderators do their jobs.
On a side note, apparently the way to get moderator status often is to read Slashdot a lot, and post just enough to keep, say, 10 "recent posts" in your user info. Ever since I slowed down posting, I've got moderator status a lot more often. Just a thought:).
First off, I'd like to say this is an old page:) I've seen it before, but hey, whatever, I'm not complaining.
CompactFlash is much easier to handle than SmartMedia... I'm the kind of person that scratches CDs easily, and I'd be scared to have those (relatively) delicate SmartMedia cards. Can anyone here adapt this hack ("hack this hack"?) to be able to use CompactFlash? Plus, there are more applications for CompactFlash (The TRGPro for example) that would offset the cost of an IBM MicroDrive.
Could this control a Hard drive as well? It'd be nice to be able to make your own EMPEG type device.. Throw on your own LCD and one of these monsters and you're set. 75 Gigs of MP3 storage. Is there a better way to do this than with these schematics?
whoa, i go to RPI (finishing up my freshman year)... i was inspired to start a ruckus by the MIT Hack page, and didn't know where to start... Ideas are starting to flow in....
The problem I have with the Empeg is that it's not as fully upgradable & customizable as I'd like it to be. Plus, it's pretty damn expensive. I'd (and others, I'm sure, would) rather throw together my own MP3 player.
I haven't been able to access the Technocrat.net article all day. If I had moderator priveleges, I would moderate you as "Informative", since I would have assumed other people haven't been able to see the article over there either.
My house has anonymous call rejection. You have to dial *82 to un-anonymize yourself, so your number can show up on our caller ID. (Our provider is Bell Atlantic).
Tetris, TI's, and School go hand in hand (in hand). I set countless records (not just personal, school!) in ztetris for the TI-85. Great game. Unfortunately, cuz I played it all first semester of AP Chemistry, I got a 56 on the midterm. My bad.
Err. Microsoft contemplated having one OS for both businesses and home consumers. MS *is* betting the farm on Win2K, they're not saying that it wasn't important. They just realized that trying to make this OS as one size fits all wouldn't work. So, Win NT/2000 is business, and Windows 98/Millennium is consumer.

Even further off-topic (but hey, this entire *story* is) is the fact that DMG got knocked down to -2 on a comment he wrote that got moderated *up* to a +5. http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=moderation&cid=668 details it.
Slashdot's good for the most part (which is why I'm still around, but it's things like these that need fixing.
Win2000 was *considered* by Microsoft to end the 2 different OSes, but then Microsoft decided to screw that idea and continue the 2 different OS lines. Please stop spreading FUD.
I use Win2000. Don't claim that 98 is more stable, 2000 whips what 98 ever was. And not everyone who uses Microsoft Products is a moron, thank you very much.

Where are all the other PDAs that promised Linux, and how vapo(u)rous are they? (The Yopy, etc.)
Some people have way too much time on their hands (says the Slashdot poster)..
In all seriousness, this is impressive. But am I the only one that sees a globe in the surface mapping?
I'll field this question: Of course there is. The tag. Duh.

Yea, right. You still gave them a hit, and their advertising rate is based on the number of hits they get.
My thoughts exactly. It would have been a lot better if they put it next to a *ruler* rather than a pencil.
~jawad, not your normal hot grits troll...

Oh god. How many people will submit goatse.cx? *shudder*

What the hell is that? I see it all over the place.

Just my $.02 though.

Get over it. There was an entire story for you.
http://slashdot.org/users.pl?op=editcomm declares the threshhold of -1 as "Uncut & Raw". What a lie. There have been many posts knocked down to -2, and quite a few (more than there should be) down to -5. Not much of an "Uncut & Raw". Theres a hack to set your threshhold lower than -1 over here, but there shouldn't *have* to be. Rob, when I say that I want my threshhold to be -1, I don't mean -1 per se: I mean that I don't want *anything* filtered out.
Even further off-topic (but hey, this entire *story* is) is the fact that DMG got knocked down to -2 on a comment he wrote that got moderated *up* to a +5. http://slashdot.org/comments .pl?sid=moderation&cid=668 details it.

Err. There weren't any QA jobs here to begin with.
(I don't regularly troll Slashdot, either. It's just that this was asking for it.)
