  6. Discrimination on Microsoft Proposes Thumb-Driven Interfaces · · Score: 4, Funny

    It is of my opinion that these new technologies are being put forth by Microsoft to quite openly mock those without thumbs.

    "Evaluation version" meant that it was a LiveCD sort of thing. not an real release, more of a "hey look what you could do with our distro if you bought it" thing.

    SuSE has also been my distro of choice since ~6.4

  20. Re:Overreaction? I think so on Sony Slow To Reveal Mac EverQuest Code Freeze? · · Score: 3, Insightful
    quick question: if you knew that an MMORPG had gone into a code freeze, and there would be no more development for it, would you go out and spend $30 on the game, and then pay $10 to play per month? even if they never reversed their decision?

    i wouldn't either. and how exactly is someone that feels burned "bleeding-heart?"

    the bad decision sony made was to have serparate mac servers. here are the reasons:

    money spent hiring a mac server staff

    money spent developing a mac server

    money spent trying to keep those servers in sync with the pc servers

    if they had just coded a client that would work with the existing servers, far more people would have signed up (i would have at some point... i had a PC account. why not play it on my iBook in bed? oh... different servers??), and it would have cost them less.

    the customers in this case are suffering because of sony's bad decisions.

  21. Metafilter discussion on Bloggers Assail Movable Type's New Pricing Scheme · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you are one of the people who is confused as to why this is such a big deal, the Metafilter post on this subject (mainly the comments on the post) should help clarify.

    Personally, I use LiveJournal (i keep it friends only, and use it so my friends who have scattered across the states can keep up, and so i can keep up with them).

    #1 - Not the same article. Similar, yes, but not the same article.

    #2 - That was posted nearly 4 years ago. Not only may views have changed, but maybe there have been new developments in non-english programming languages.

    I, for one, tire of the "nyuk nyuk too many dupes on slashdot" comments. Life is a cycle, things are going to repeat. Get over it.

  24. Re:Chuck it on FTC Officials Wary of Spyware Measures · · Score: 1

    if someone knocks on your door at 4am trying to sell you something, and you are asleep, you have choices. you can ignore them, and hope they go away. you can shoot their ass to make sure they never come back. you can ask them to leave politely and have them back the next night.

    when telemarketers call, you can always screen your phonecalls, or even hang up on them. there are still FCC regs about when they can call. and now if they can even call at all.

    just because a technical solution exists to a problem, doesn't mean that it shouldn't be restricted.
