There were no repetitive strain injuries caused by the usage of the mouse until we got the PC. Gee who'd a thunk that... there probably weren't too many car accidents before the invention of cars either.

You CAN compare console with PC on playability FPS are not the only things that matter. But if you start comparing games based on playability then you aren't talking about hardware at all anymore now you're just talking about why game companies suck (buggy, repetitive, about as inventive as pet rocks).
Look at Metroid or *insert a classic nintendo game here* those things had super minimal storage space, yet kept us entertained for hours and hours. Sure and if there were a direct port to the PC of Metroid you'd expect it to run well on a 386.
I have a friend that can barely crank over 24 FPS at 800x600 (close to NTSC) on Q3A with a Dual PII500. That sounds like he's got a crap video card that's bottlenecking things. My condolences.

That would be a good idea if anyone could make a stable browser, however the only advantage that I've seen to IE being integrated into Win98 is that now both my directories and my webpages crash.

Have you never even thought about it? I would never kill anyone either (with the possible exception of Jerry Pournelle who isn't really a person) but the thought has crossed my mind before and I'm sure in a fit of rage (probably caused by Jerry Pournelle) I've claimed a desire to kill or lash out at the world. It's fairly healthy really as long as you don't actually kill anyone.

Yes but the article doesn't give a definition for cybersquatting except names that are close to trademarks. Not that I wouldn't mind seeing most of the Yahoo parodies shut down too but that's another story. Hopefully the actual bill spells this out a little better.

So a cache is basically a big hash table then? With certain memory addresses hashing to certain places in the cache? And making 8-way whatever just prevents collisions between hash values? Is any of this even close to right, or am I just having delusions of comprehension again?

Christians believe that when someone dies unsaved they go to hell and burn in pain for eternity. We don't like the idea that others might be subjected to this, so we are trying to help as many people as we can.
While "We Athiests" thank you for trying. We believe that when you die you're time is up and we don't like that precious time used up by people trying to convert us.

Tell me a piece of legislation that FORCES you to do something against your morals, which also DOESN'T exist to uphold the freedom of others (in cases where there is a conflict between the two). Cryptographic Export Laws.
And who do these groups consist of? Is it Hispanic females? Maybe black homosexuals? NO. They consist primarily of WMCs... Sure if you only look at the organized and media-hungry ones. Go to the poor districts of Chicago (or a lot of other places) where they'll mug/murder you purely because you're white. I seem to remember a some tourists in Florida being murdered because they took the wrong exit ramp.
People who disagree with WMCs in governmental and powerful positions have a tendency of not getting...the same general privelages And people who disagree with the "WMC's cause all the problems" get called racists and chauvenists(sp?) and close-minded morons. The problem isn't WMC's it's specific close-minded individuals who can occur in any race, creed, or color. However we choose to focus on WMC's. Not that focusing on them does anything except blind us to it happening in other places, and give ammo for people to call anyone who is white, male, OR Christian an idiot when they try to point out that this isn't just WMC's, it get's them alienated and ostracized from these debates.
...they just saw a black, didn't like him, and decided to torture him. Good ole boys. That seems pretty radical to me... at least pretty perverted, and seems to imply that this is not an accurate sample group of WMC's.
Ok, list some (that exist in this country, because after all our legislation only effects this country). If these other groups do exist, the onus is on them also, it does not absolve christian lunatics. I really want to argue this point just for consistency but you're right. I can't come up with any other groups that senselessly kill scientists, or have done anywhere near the amount of damage to scientific progress that WMC's have (this doesn't mean that it doesn't happen, but I can't think of an occurance).

I don't see that as qualifying those people as sheep unless because of using those words, they only buy those brands. Using Kleenex as a synonym for tissue has been common practice for at least twenty years (probably more), and Coke for a type of cola is a regional thing (primarily in the south).
This leads to massive confusion when you ask for a Coke and they reply "What kind?". "Uh Regular?" "Regular what?" [Scream... run out door to escape impending Abbot and Costello bit].
Totally a knee-jerk uninformed reaction to a knee-jerk uninformed reaction, now let me quote their press release, and you can use your brain to figure it out
Usages such as THE PEZ STORE, THE PEZ MUSEUM, THE PEZ COLLECTOR, THE PEZ TRADER, THE PEZ FANATIC, THE PEZ CAR are specifically prohibited...
What IMO it appears they are trying to do is not shut down porn sites from hijacking their webpage hits, but shut down fan sites. They run a collectors store off of their website and they probably don't like Joe and John Public running a personal trading site, because it cuts into their profits.
The Pet Rock and all other trademarks you see today are registered to Biff Cool you may not think about them under penalty of law unless appropriate royalty fees are payed. That and I've got a patent pending on posting comments

Just a few questions
1. How do you expect an intelligent agent to create a filtering system for an idiot who is incapable of filtering? The "Cyberclysm", as Katz want's to call it, seems to me to be more of an Information-based Natural Selection. If you're incapable of filtering the crap for yourself, if your attention span is so low that you can't stop and think "Wait is this product useful or just absolute shit", then I guess Darwinism has proven you to be unfit to survive in a Informational Society.
2. How is thinking less supposed to make someone smarter? While this may be a great way to create a new breed of lazy underdeveloped minds, I can't see how Clotho's spinner is going to do anything beyond creating more knots.

Great now I just need someone to realease a multiplayer version of Druglord for cellphones. Now I can sit in a subway with a pager, and cellphone, and complain to the guy next to me about how unbelievably expensive cocaine is.
Man you say one bad thing about GPL around here and everybody acts like you just shot they're dog. I believe the point he was trying to make was that that WAS why he doesn't use the GPL. Which while being a fairly useless aside, was still an aside.
This is possibly the most uneducated and idiotic statement I've seen in the slashdot forums in a long time. Even people who develop on Windows don't care about open source. Really... that's funny I develop for Windows I care about Open Source. I feel it's possibly one of the greatest movements in programming history. Every Windows Developer I know (which granted is only a handful) thinks Open Source is a great idea. it's about sharing software with people who want it, and the number of people who benefit from open source on windows will be next to none. I'm really curious where you get this idea that Windows developers don't want Open Source. Do you know programmers who say "No I don't want any helpful ideas I'd prefer to do everything from scratch". The fact is that Open Source is equally beneficial whether you're developing for UNIX, Linux, Windows, Be, or the TRS-80. Unfortunately Windows has a large already established base of Closed Source Software and the developers for Windows lack the fanatic devotion to OSS that Linux has, so there's much less incentive to develop OSS for Windows but this has nothing to do with whether it's appreciated, or beneficial to the community.

I'm willing to bet that pretty girls aren't willing to go near him in a crowded subway let alone sit on his bed and let him take pictures of them.
