Plenty fast? OmniWeb is the slowest browser I have ever used. Feature-wise, yah, it's great, on par with iCab. Like icab, however, as an actual browser, it blows serious donkey ballz.
holy hell.. i had no idea this kind of thing was going on. I've never personally used paypal, but have had friends who have (a while ago). I'd never heard of such problems. Thanks for the links, though, I'll be sure *NOT* to use paypal at anytime in the future, ever.
LumiLeds Lighting, the leader in high flux, high powered LED (light emitting diode) technology, today announced a new solution for LCD display backlights that will quickly and dramatically change the LCD backlight industry.
I hate this tradition. I really do. As if it wasnt bad enough when I was growing up, its even worse on internet. EVERY news site just cannot resist making some lame-ass story that sounds ridiculous and is supposed to be funny. Unfortunately these people do not realize that they are not comedians, they are nerds who run a website. Theyre not funny. Christ.
a couple of MONTHS ago, you bought a 10 gig for 140??? you got ripped off. last month i bought an IBM 40 gig harddrive for 110. You point still holds that 2 (or 3) gigs isnt that much based upon how much harddrive space you can get these days for so cheap. 3 gigs still seems extreme though. OSX, with all the developer tools, is only about 1.5 gigs.
Yah... gnutella.. that great, always reliable, always fast, always find what you want program. Yah, thats it..
log on to OpenNap servers. they're just as good as napsters own server, and actually have more people more often than not. Fuck gnutella, that shit is for chumps.
Wow, this is fantastic news. Way to be on the cutting edge, AOL. Sorry, but this release doesn't even warrant a copy of our home game.
Emmett, why did you even post it if youre just going to make fun of it and say it sucks? It's really not interesting news anyways. Maybe you should consider posting interesting stuff that people submit. Same goes for the rest of you damn slashdot admins.
From what I understand, the whole book has not been released yet. Only one chapter has, and he made 90,000 dollars from it. There's still two chapters left.:)
No shit, that's so ridiculous. NT 4 without any service packs comes with ie2.. bleh.. good luck upgrading the browser if you dont have atleast service pack 5 on CD handy, also. What the hell were they thinking? God i hate microsoft.
dont be silly. i have an imac dvse (which has rage 128) and i have a pc (athlon 700, geforce ddr). are you really missing that much? Hell yes you're missing that much. The geforce runs circles around the rage 128.
On my imac, with quake 3, i turn all the grafx completely down and run in 640x480. I usually get around 30fps (average), which is kinda playable, but it also looks terrible. (the rage 128 16bit color is so dithered and disgusting it usually makes me want to kill myself).
on my pc, quake 3 rarely drops below ninety frames a second, and i have ALL the grafx turned ALL the way up, and running in 800x600.
so to answer your question, yes, you are missing a lot. Apple needs to get rid of the disease that ATI is, and put nVidia chips in all their machines. ATI is even more pathetic than 3dfx, and that's pretty damn pathetic.
Insightful comment dude. I hope to see this moderated to +5. I wonder why you posted as anonymous when you are obviously the smartest person to have ever walked this glorious planet that we mortals call earth.
The way I see it... amazon is in need of some serious cash, since they've already lost many many millions. All this patent BS is an easy way for them to sue people, or maybe even raise their stock if investors feel like they own the copyright to some cool technology.
I think this whole thing is sad... amazon is such a great place to get books, but they keep doing things like this that I don't think is good business practice.
Oh my lord...... that would be so cool. Dave Barry has written some of the funniest articles and books I have ever read in my life, yet you can tell he's a really smart guy. He gets things.
I think his contribution to slashdot would make the site have some sort of fresh new feeling it, something that would be very much welcome by me.
You dont understand that the rebate is given to you IN THE STORE. So you don't have to worry about microsoft pulling shit like paying you 2 bucks a month for the rest of your life, because you already saved 400 dollars when you made the purchase.
Slashdot Mirror
Come on people. Realize who this story is coming from. They have even less credibility than macosrumors.com.
Get a freakin grip. If this story was true, other news sites would be carrying it too.
and NO, slashdot does NOT count.
ever heard of Ghandi?
Psych.
Must we solve all our problems with more violence?

he wasnt predicting he would be modded down. -1, redundant because this has happened before with hotmail. :)
I was wondering the same thing. If ATT goes through excite's network.. does that mean we're all screwed?
Pleeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase dont take away my morpheus, @home!!! I dont think I could surivive :)
hehe, pretty funny :)
It is too bad they took that away.
Wow, good to see we have moderators so fucking retarded that they moderate a post up to +5 informative that is ONLY correcting a grammatical error.
WAY TO GO MODERATORS. YOU SURE SAVED THE FUCKING DAY.
wow, a fake press release. how funny and original. you are trully a funny man.
