You surely don't have shitloads of stuff with that kind of storage...
That would be just enough for the music collection, OS, and games of the average person posting on here. So we're not even talking about movies, ISO images, etcetera.
It is ironic that this story is on Slashdot, where the editors can't even be bothered to learn how to hyphenate correctly. And even worse, they can't be bothered to fix grammar and spelling after 90 people point it out.
I've gotten quite positive responses from sending letters. Sure, not everything will get a personal response...but for instance I sent a letter to Macy's, they didn't respond, sent another one and copied it to a state agency, and they responded with a $50 gift card.
Why not save yourself the trouble and check to see if it has Linux drivers beforehand?
I mean, of course there is the aspect of "customer feedback" which might push changes in the product lines, which I believe in, but I think if this is what you're going for then maybe a letter or two would be more effective.
Third, your whole attack scheme is just a big run around for no reason. If you can write a binary called 'la', why wouldn't you just write it as 'ls' in the first place, istead of crossing your fingers and hoping he mistypes?
I think the point is, pick something that isn't a real command ('la' seems to ring a bell though...not sure where) because if your working dir is in your path, then it isn't likely to be first in your path. So making the executable file called "ls" won't actually have it run unless you type the full path anyway.

Granted, you had a disclaimer about mistakes, but... This is all assuming that the home dir or the working dir is in the path.
And I'd be happy to pay for a few select newpapers, magazines, TV shows, et cetera, whatever they are making off of me through advertising, just to get rid of the advertising.
I am assuming. I think it is a pretty fair assumption. Webservers and bandwidth surely cost less than paper and delivery, especially when we are dealing with something like text and simple images.
Yes, the print edition has ads. So does the online pay version. Yet, the print version costs more to produce, and has a lower subscription cost. So I am suggesting that they take one of two actions - Reduce the price of the online subscription, or nix the ads.
Slashdot Mirror
Unix is free?
I've learned to keep the 'dows discs around - you never know when you're going to sell the machines, and that really helps the sale price.
Well...part of the reason they can give you such a good price is because of what they pay the employees. I was there for about 6 months.
But yeah, I worked in the VA DC. It was nice.
Haha...former Serverbeach datacenter monkey here :-)

w00t.

Yes, let's restrict technology based on what could be done with it. That has always worked in the past...
Banned in China because of capitalism? Ha ha.
Ha.

Yeah, I didn't find it particularly insightful either.
Surprising? No. Ridiculous? Yes.
Not sure if you were being sarcastic or not, but the president most assuredly does not make the laws.
or 53, whatever. They're both close to 50, so my point is still made either way.
It is ridiculous that 47% of Americans are not completely up-in-arms about this. We can't have our president breaking any law that he wants to.
Operative word here: "launches"
How can this be said to "launch" when I can't find a link anywhere to this new service/program?
Correction: Google is an advertising company first and foremost. Everything they do is aimed at providing more of your thoughts for sale.
Your talk of wishing implies that I am not doing anything about it. I am doing something about it.
That makes me happy that you badgered the Omaha World Herald about that. If they get enough badgering, they will likely do something about it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I wish I had mod points to hand out.
