Using a different OS nowadays, strangely enough the affected keys are now "W", "S", "L", "A", "H", "D", "O", "T", "R" and "G". The "." is already gone!!
Most browsers have this cool feature called bookmarks that allows you to get to slashdot using a single mouseclick rather than typing all that out!
Command-Control-Power. Now that's a three-finger salute! The force reboot is where the manliness of the Mac really shines through -- all three keys signify dominance. Linux and windows users have to use the hippy-dippy "alt" key, as in alt.sex and alt.drugs, combined with the "delete" or "backspace" key to signify a total lack of confidence in their own decisions. You wussies don't even have a command key!!!
I have registered like 25 times and every time I go to another NYT story my bogus registration info is no longer valid. I don't know if this is something they're checking for or if it has to do with the way it handles cookies but I just don't look at NYT stories via links like that anymore because its too much hassle. I either read NYT via google or I read it using my lexis/nexis account if I really need the article. You can bet an article about bad spelling on ebay isn't worth thinking of new bogus information to fill in.... Oh well, at least they don't ask "Where did you hear about New York Times?"
yeah but since it's a virus, that means he'll have three more days of uninfected uptime!
but there's an open source version of the virus...

More MyDoom Gloom

· Score: 4, Funny
Greetings. You have been infected with GNU/MyDoom, a destructive anti-SCO virus brought to you by members of the open source community. In order to get this virus to infect your system properly, you will need to use wget to download mydoom-config-2.4.6 from one of the usual mirrors. Be careful; this version of the virus is not compatible with versions of mydoom-config prior to 2.4.4. After you have downloaded the config tools and issued the usual incantations (./configure; make; make install), you can configure the virus from any directory simply by typing sudo mydoom-config -ort [your login id] [your current IP address] [full path to your email client] [interval since last kernel rebuild in seconds]. This virus is licensed under the GPL. If you have any questions, be sure to RTFM, the docs are installed at/usr/share/info/mydoom and all your config files are stored at ~/.mydoom.
p.s. yes, it's an old joke, but still, you know you laughed....
I was at a drunken party once where a large group of people started talking about patenting ridiculous and evil advertising-related inventions in order to keep them from being invented by someone else. (Yeah I know you can't really do that but this was a drunken party remember). One of my ideas was a toaster that would connect to the internet, download advertisements, and burn them on your morning toast. We had a laugh at how ridiculous and stupid that was, plotting business models for the startup company (see, give away the toasters for free... etc.) This was before the net bubble burst when it didn't seem all that far-fetched. Well it wasn't because about 6 months later I found a patent for exactly that.
now you can get the same box BUT DUAL G5's for 100 bucks more!
So the people who don't complain about how slow and expensive apple hardware is are going to complain now that they're making state of the art hardware available at an affordable price?
That was the joke ("warmth" is also the term vinyl junkies like myself use to justify vinyl over CDs) but I guess I forgot to use ":)" the universal symbol for I'M JOKING YOU MORONS! so I get moderated "troll."
It just goes to show, they're not just motivated by greed. They, or at least the people making the programs that do this, actually *want* to annoy the shit out of people. They think it's their right to annoy us like this and they're on a mission to assert that right by subverting all attempts to tune them out. It's not just greed; it's a weird kind of sociopathy.
Sorry; this link was supposed to go under my comment "They Certainly are" -- evidence that journalists are being harrassed by the US military currently. That's what I get for not hitting preview.

Why isn't anybody making PCI cards that do this anymore? It could cost less and be much better than VPC.

Well, then, it must be true.

hey, he can almost buy two linux licenses from SCO for that money!

we wrote haiku in August
see the link below
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/08/20/132
slashdotters unite
write all comments in haiku
we procrastinate.
What's wrong with you fools
Last April we wrote haikus
In response to this
we get one more chance
to write haiku for karma
and we blow it big
I was hoping to
waste my valuable work time
reading horrid verse

Oh - I thought you said "at that point where we can throw it away and forget about it."
yeah I've definitely seen a lot of typos here.
and I, for one, welcome our new Dock overlord!

Film is better than digital. It's got more warmth.

They certainly are. I wonder if Bush will put Paul O'Neill on the list.
As a bonus, it keeps away vampires too....
They didn't want to limit their customers' choices.
Right now, googling for litigious bastards takes you to an anti-Metallica page. So maybe this link to Metallica will help?
