If Forth is so great, why didn't you write yourPure FTP daemon in Forth instead of C?

So we can run software from the 80's? Modern versions of Windows won't. Linux will, but what is the use, seeing that practically everything has been rewritten since anyhow?
I'm a bit confused. Which Linux software from the 1980s can still run on Linux? And btw, most MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 programs run on Windows XP. Have you heard of WOW (Windows on Windows)?
Notice how "Mike Moore" and "Eric Kiersky" both mispell Kevin Richard's name as "Reichard" (as do some other talkback posts). Moore and Kiersky also both omit numerous apostrophes. Moore == Kiersky == ???
Mike Moore posted this under the subject of "Excellent":
It takes a lot to admit this. I still dont believe astroturfing is anything to ruffle your feathers about, we all do it dont we? But I salute Kevin Reichard for taking this stance and explaining matters. This shows the maturity of Linux Today and the opensource nature of all their undertakings. Cheers.
Eric Kiersky writes with subject "Kevin shouldnt apologize":
I dont believe Kevin should have been preassured into apologizing about this. As I understand this pressure came from an individual who was fired from LinuxToday. I felt that individual's articles were more revenge based than anything to expose ethics on astroturfing. Kevin is an excellent individual and his work on Linux Today is second to non. I hope everyone takes a deep breath and just think before posting anymore slashdot induced flames on Mr. Kevin Reichard.
they laid off about 70% of the people 3 months ago. And, yes, they have a lot of extra Aeron chairs right now.
The new management needs to learn to lay off people before buying Aeron chairs, otherwise you'll have more chairs than employees! No wonder your company went downhill. sorry..
I shoved my cock so far into her mouth that I pumped the cum straight into her stomach.
While you were fucking her stomach (a stomach job?), I was fisting her ass so deeply that I reached into her stomach and gave you a hand job. Don't worry, I'm not gay. I thought I was crushing her esophagus; I didn't realize I was actually jerking you off! sorry!
is there a human being that does not know what plastic is?
and notice that there is actually no product called "Plastic" which a customer can go buy. When you see an ad that is NOT for a product, you have to wonder what they are actually advertising. Usually, the company has a bad reputation and is advertising lies to change their public perception.
Ponder Chevron's "People Do" pseudo-environmental ads pretending that Chevron's primary interest is saving cute animals and making the environment greener. Or ponder the "Eggs Got a Bad Rap" ads showing freaky eggs being released from prison. The egg ads lies to us, telling the viewers that eggs are not high in cholesteral. Plus, would you really want to eat an egg that had been in prison!!
Flash is every that client-side Java wanted to be, only more stable and cross-platform.
btw, is there a way to script COM objects from Flash's ActionScript (on Win32 obviously)? You can do it from JavaScript and VBScript, but I couldn't find anything in the (limited) ActionScript documentation.
I would love to read an interview with a spammer about their business. Obviously, spam works or they wouldn't do it. Who are their customers? How many people respond to their spam? How did they get involved in the spam market? Maybe Slashdot should have an "Ask a Spammer" interview??
I read the articles, but I still don't understand what the phrase "Blue Went" in this Slashdot article's title is supposed to mean.. Does "Blue Went" mean "Blue Won" or maybe "Blue Went [the distance]"? I'm baffled again by Slashdot's use of the English language.
The article makes it sound like the chussh-chussh-chussh does something similar to humans. I think this might endanger more lives than it would save.
After watching the video, I did find the chussh-chussh-chussh successful. However, I really wish the article would explain more about WHY it works. They say the used broadbad white noise because they understand "how the brain works". That seems like a cop-out answer.

Regional Variations
The results summarised above are from a world-wide perspective and significant variations can occur in regional analyses. Out of 32 countries with at least 0.1% of sites on the web each, Windows computers outnumber Unix-like computers in 22 of them. The countries with the largest proportions of Windows web servers are China, South Africa and Singapore. Countries in which Unix-like operating systems maintain the strongest lead are Poland, Hungary, Japan, Russia and Germany, with Linux strong in Poland and Hungary, and BSD in Russia and Japan. Linux leads Windows in Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Germany, while in Finland, home country of Linus Torvalds, Windows has a tiny lead over Linux!

Nothing pleases application developers and users more than when the vendor suddenly changes the hardware platform underneath them. Does Palm expect developers to recompile and rerelease all of their existing applications for a new processor? Does Palm expect the users to NOT be pissed when their old apps (and possibly data) are no longer forward-compatible?
This processor only seems to benefit Palm, so I hope the internal benefit is enough to offset the outward pain Palm's users and developers will feel!:-(

Admittedly, "Star Wars Two: The Clone Wars" is a much cooler name, but it's probably too similar to "Star Wars".

Reading it closely makes me feel as if AMD is trying to curry favor with Intel
or maybe AMD realizes that Intel owns the market and to not support PCI 3.0 would mean PITA for hardware vendors and suicide for AMD.

he spent an entire lecture talking about how Crystal Pepsi was the greatest marketing campaign ever.
If Crystal Pepsi had such the greatest marketing campaign, why did it disappear after only a few months? I'm curious what your prof liked about it..

If you owned billions of dollars worth of MSFT stock, you would dance like that too I'm afraid.

how come someone like Yahoo doesn't go around bragging about the 450 MHz ultraspace chip they have running the website.... because it doesn't matter
That Yahoo uses FreeBSD/Intel is probably another reason.
hmm.
My father is convinced that double-clicking on links makes the page load faster.

Scott Adams has been busy creating Dilbert and selling out.
Oh, the OTHER Scott Adams. He has released a new game last year called Return To Pirates Island 2. You can also
play online version of his classic games.
