Hm, my favorite is browsing all of the MMORPGs on sourceforge. Almost without fail, those things feature like three artists, desperately seeking a "C++ Programmer with experience in MFC, DirectX and OpenGL" for a "An online RPG, similar to Everquest but in the setting of $novel by $author". And strangely, they all seem to be lacking a single release... I wonder why:)
This is what many slashdot users have been suggesting they do, so I don't understand the negative attitude all of the sudden. Remember the "they're going to have to change their business model" speech everyone was giving a couple of years ago? This is that change. Mind you, in typical record label fashion, they aren't going to mark down CDs any or ease off of the filetrading litigation, because that would still cost them *something*. That is the part everyone should criticize, that there is no quid pro quoa (spl?). Sure, they don't have to give their customers something in exchange no the markup on ticket prices we will no doubt see, but it might hurt them in the long run if they don't...
Ah, but if our solar system is anything like a normal solar system and/or the computer models are true, then systems with large, detectable planets probably have smaller planet as well. Some of them might even be similar to Earth in size and composistion.
And in case the comment db holding his slashmirror gets slashed:
Oldest Planet Is Revealed, Challenging Old Theories By JOHN NOBLE WILFORD
In new observations of a distant region of primitive stars, astronomers have found the oldest known planet, a huge gaseous object almost three times as old as Earth and nearly as old as the universe itself...
You judge the age of fairly close objects, using nuclear models, compare with red shifts. Then you look at the red shift of far away objects and try to extrapolate age, IIRC.
at not being an expert by any means, I wonder how they detected it. I assume (because it is so massive and in a binary system) they detected it by the normal "wobble" method. Does anyone know?
But, seriously, I remember Apple IIes from grade school. They lagged when interpreting text based BASIC games... I mean, all of my programming assignments... Sounds like this stuff would make them keel over, more likely than not. Then again, the problem may have been the BASIC...
I wasn't implying that I could. And I wasn't implying that it was a valuble skill. I was simply pointing out that many Americans can't (and not just the "stupid" ones either, the human memory wasn't really built to memorize such things and actually retain them). The point was more that if you educated yourself on the facts of the world around you (for example,that Hungary is not a 3rd world country), you can recall these facts more easily than the name's of all of the states. I was pointing out that the parent's comparison was not really valid.
You kids and your new fangled "2.5". Back in my day, the kernel was 0.1, and the only supported boot device was a piece of toast. And we liked it better that way! Stable, unstable? Kids these days are so ungrateful. Back in my day, when linux crashed, not only did it erase your hardrive, but it put you into seizures! But it built character, and that's the way we liked it!
-1, Redundant. Any action by a corporation is going to be "about the money." Sometimes it's just a question of how immediate the pay out is going to be.
*sigh* Hungary is NOT a 3rd world country. It is a first world country. That's right. There is no such thing as a 2nd world country anymore, btw, because there is no soviet union anymore, and the definition of 2nd world depended on the existance of a superpower to rival the US. And no, I can't name every country out there. One thing you must consider though, is that there are more countries in the world than states in the US. Can you name all of the states in the US? Without any help? Go for it. Even for Americans this is tough, apparently. Most get 45 or so and can't think of the rest (there are 50, if you need a hint).
1) the people who teased them to death for years Nitpick. If they had actually teased them to death, we wouldn't be talking about this. They'd be dead. Additionally, they appear to be the ones with the intent to kill, not the other way around.
Now that we know the last five characters of the data segment of every wifi packet will be ", eh?", it should be even easier to get those keystreams...
Neo: I just had a deja vu. Morpheus: What? What did you see? Neo: I saw the same Bush pass by twice. Morpheus: Was it exactly the same Bush? Neo: I dunno... could've been some kind of father son thing. Morpheus: A deja vu is a glitch in the database. It usually happens when they change something. Particularly, votes.
What's the EULA for this lunch? I mean, are the derivative works property of microsoft? If so, is there an "enterprise" option allowing one to opt out of such license clauses?

Question? What exactly does that thing DO? hehe

Just kidding.

mmm. The BASIC. We hates it. We hates it! *hisses loudly then runs off to hide behind his K&R*
Because we can.

What the hell? I'd hate to self reply... but it's showing Score: 1 in the comment header and Score: 2 in the details.
Ick.
No.

learn a little CP/M if you're so inclined
You sick bastard. Kids read this site, you know.

Well... not if she plays EverQuest.
that slashdot needs a 'no shit' topic. This amazes me not. And what is this about parent groups and the media spreading FUD? Never!
Please don't hurts us, we never trolls master.
