What about Sim Beat the Shit out of the Treasonist Bastard?
As we all know, the attacks on 9/11 were in full compliance of international law.
Both of my teachers that participated in Vietnam stressed the horrible aspects of war and in no way make war look glorious. Even my physics teacher who stood on alert durring the Cold War piloting a B-52 loaded with 'nukes makes sure that we know that he doesn't belive war great. However, both understand the necessity and importance of a strong national deffense. While the "Let them go off and die" statement has been made numerous times, I hardly doubt that many people can state they don't love their freedom.

Thank you for the truly level-headed and very reasonable post. I can't believe it was moderated down. The ignorance and zealotry is so sickening here on/. You raised some very excellent points, and in turn demonstrated the true agenda of these basement losers.
Yes, I know how you feel: With all the misguided bigotry in the Linux camp, how could there be fanaticism left for those other guys? *gasp* Yes, people can and do like Windows for their own reasons, and you should respect them for that. If you can't respect that other people have differing opinions, you prove to be just another hypocrite.
Just because they orbit every 45 minutes doesn't mean the will be over every spot on earth every 45 minutes. Remember, the Earth spins beneath the satelites and they are placed in angular orbits. In addition, they just don't leave their cameras rolling 24/7, they are targeted at specific targets that are requested. Again, I could be wrong.
While your idea seems like a good one, what are the chances of the satelite being overhead at that exact moment in time? As I understand it, they are stuck in pretty much static orbits that only fly over a certain spot every once and awhile (I'm not sure what the exact figures are, but there are a bunch of variables), and i'm pretty sure that they haven't been able to build spy birds that are in geostationary orbits yet. At least I hope not!
I was just waiting for someone to say this. Every time Microsoft tries to "force it's way" into a market, all hell breaks loose on Slashdot. However, when RHAT tries to "make it's way" into a market, not a single question is asked. I'm not endorsing either, but I think it's only fair to mention it.
While you are completely right, is Seti@Home enjoyment, or a usefull utility that would make use of something that isnt being used? Companies should be allowed to dictate whatever they want regarding their computer systems, however, Seti@Home should not be branded along the likes of Hoop it up or pr0n.
Hey guys, let's all bag on Windows while we got a chance, or wait, let's all just grow up here. The MSNBC article says nothing about the OS, it just says a software problem. I'm not the biggest MS fan, but it infuriates me to see everyone on/. get on the bashing-bandwagon everytime an article mentions MS.

I just ordered "Buisiness DSL" (aDSL) from pacbell, which is 6mbit/384k, and starts you off with 32IP addresses, all for just $328 a month. A rip-off? You bet! It's the IP's that are the killer: 6mbit non-business (5 ip's) costs $178 a month. I am guessing they just want me to upgrade to a full T1 ($1500 here) if I really need the IP's. But can we all say "mad-phat lan parties" together? I sure can;-)
As for the speeds, my current 1.5 residential dsl gets pretty decent rates: around 150k pretty consistantly. As for support, PBI is pretty good about getting things done. I have heard a bunch of install and outage problems with PBI, but for me the ride thusfar has been quite smooth.
Out!

Have any of you guys noticed when downloading sLinux from the NSA, you get CRAZY speeds? I got 175k for the first time from them, and have repeatedly as well. I guess they figured out that they could use their intimidation to get the multipul OC192's for cheap.
I am sorry guys, but I am having a hard time believing this is really authentic. Look at the last line; he basically thretens all MS employees. Come on, do you guys actually believe this? I'm supprised Slashdot even posted this load of BS.
Wow, the site is down already. I will just have to wait a few weeks for it to come up again;-) I would think that Sun would have enough brains (whicht they do) to know that of course this would happen.
Ok, now this is taking it WAY TOO FAR. It's like teaching me how to fly a plane in a fully loaded 747. I can not say that Windoze hurt me at all. I started on a PC, and now I am running the full suite of Internet server software (Apache, Bind, Sendmail, PHP, MySQL, etc.) on Sun SPARC's and Solaris. By giving me a solid base to learn from, Windows helped me greatly. I learned the fundamentals of programming, designing software, trouble-shooting, and all the other skills that make me an efficient computer user. In addition, I am a 'master' at the most popular OS in the world, which cant possibly help me when I go try to get a job. When my Sun boxes serve up web sites, who do they serve them to? Windows clients.
In summary, you cant shove someone out of an airplane and expect them to weave their own parachute on the way down.
Yeah, that sounds cool.

Looks like the Comet got slashdotted!
Really...
I was dissapointed to see that it broke up because I was looking forward to looking at it through my own telescope... looks like I just waited too long.
Speaking of Telescopes, any other/. readers are into astronomy? Let me know!
I hear a lot of people on here going off and hiding behind the first amendment privileges to be able to download these songs. The thing is, these songs are not THEIR speech, the songs are the property of who made them. Don't get me wrong here, I really do like downloading songs off of Napster; however, making up lame excuses such as "They already have enough money" and "it's free speech" aren't going to get us as a community anywhere.

They've been responsible for putting a lot of people on the internet that were better off never discovering it.
The same thing can be said about Microsoft and turning people on to Computers, but is usualy modded down on /. What gives?

Well the MSCE monkeys sure do like to employ your mom's special skills in extracting data from their hard drives.

Actually, it landed by parachute:
It landed safely, after a flight of 2100 KMS, by parashute
