This is a huge mistake for microsoft. What is to prevent everyone from switching to openoffice if everything interoperates perfectly? Also, what does this mean for OASIS? I'm not complaining but this is rather...unexpected.
Yes the submitter definetly fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down. Not only is what what he said about QWERTY wrong, but he gives no reason for why to use the new keyboard over Dvorak. I have been using Dvorak for years now and would never go back, let alone try some shitty patented keyboard designed for hunt-n-peck folks.
Read the book The Underground History of American Education by John Taylor Gatto. It is available for free on his website. If you want to see briefly what it is about before you read it (fair enough) there is a 2 page essay that is kind of similar by him here. However unlike in his essay, in his book gatto meticulously quotes from primary sources to make his points about the evils of our educational system.
On one hand the evil alliance is getting more powerful by the day. On the other hand, ESPN pretty much only covers boring invented-for-tv/radio sports. I guess since I don't play sports games or EA games this doesn't really bother me, although the day they try to buy out the Nethack dev team I'll be outside corporate headquarters with my torch and pitchfork.
Now that the Internet has become an integral part of many people's lives, it has also become the place where many of us get our daily news reports (think Slashdot, New York Times, etc)

Albeit, I first found out about the Columbine shooting and the Columbia explosion the day both of those happened while checking slashdot.
Actually George has said several times that part of the reason why the prequels were so long in coming was that he didn't like the fact that people were devoting their lives to his movies and he wanted to discourage them from doing this. If Lucas saw this guy sitting there then most likely he would tell him to get the fuck up and get a job.
Yes, but it's also about the third time that Michael has done this in as many days. Now I think he is doing it on purpose out of bitterness after being called a hypocrite in the other thread.
If I died I sure as hell would not want my family looking through all my email. Sounds like his family is just a bunch of assholes, especially since they already knew he was in a situation with a high danger and could have easily worked something out.
When I played UO I kept having this dream where my house was being looted. The problem was I kept my computer next to my bed and was in the habit of checking my character every couple hours of the night anyway so my sleep was mixed with the game. Because of this it got to the point where I couldn't tell if my dreams about the game were real or not and the only way I could tell was to check. Very scary, fortunately i sold my account on ebay for 600 bucks about 6 years ago.

If you are that addicted to world of warcraft, imagine how fucked up your life would get if you tried a good game...like nethack.
No it's been like that for the last two days. They don't really know what is wrong with it as far as I knew last. If you look at the traffic chart you will see there are just some random holes where the servers requests for a few minutes. However in the last couple days it has been much more laggy than normal.
If you go to Wikipedia in the press then you can see all the articles about Wikipedia that have been in mainstream newspapers. There really isn't any reason to post every single one, especially since this is probably the fifth article on Wikipedia that has been in the observer in the last year. Granted, I love Wikipedia, but everyone on slashdot already knows what it is so linking to it every week only serves to cause problems for the people monitoring the recent changes by giving them a surge of extra work.
As a Wikipedian, the thing that impresses me most about Jimbo is the fact that he actually talks about everything in no-point-of-view language. He is the only person who I have ever known of who actually talks about himself from NPOV.
I'll bet 10 bucks that Jobs uncancels the live streaming the day before the keynote and that this whole thing was just to build hype and get more people to watch it.
Mod me off topic, but I just want to point out how long it has been since slashdot last linked to a kuro5hin.org article. Kuro5hin was suffering from a lack of quality last spring, but recently seems to be going through something of a renaissance. Just look at how many front page articles have been posted in December alone. I even got one posted about Public Schools, a sure sign of the apocalypse if ever there was one.
This company didn't release this player to challenge the iPod mini, they released the product to make money. Slashdot seems to think that every new mp3 player is released only out of spite and hatred for Apple.

Where is the ironic tag when you need it.
They don't call them the Evil Alliance for nothing.

I am pretty sure he said it on 60 minutes before ep 1 came out.

Except for that in the first paragraph of the article it says that a port is being released by NeoOffice. Did anyone even rtfa?
So basically this is a daily 30 minute infomercial sponsored by the evil alliance?

I don't get it, what am I supposed to buy then?
This company didn't release this player to challenge the iPod mini, they released the product to make money. Slashdot seems to think that every new mp3 player is released only out of spite and hatred for Apple.
Nemo leaked the product information.
Yeah all this guy's dedication is making me feel guilty for posting while being too lazy to even read the story.
