The only think that I can picture coming out of such tech, until bod-mod involves replacing your teeth and things that are a bit more Gibsonesque, is a couple interesting newspaper stories.
Dude, how many academic papers have you read that are linked to Slashdot?
How many business white-papers?
Neither really represents the crowd of Slashdot. Perhaps the white-papers, but I can quite firmly state that there are very few articles on Slashdot linked to Nature, Science, conference proceedings, etc.
If you're interested in such things though, I've considered creating a site centered around them. Perhaps we could partner up.
Try telling that to a comporate entity. With the explanation in place (Linus' explanation as to why) it's fine, however, the blank statement would leave managers somewhat concerned.
Ironically, even ones who wouldn't have been concerned if it had never been mentioned at all.
Quite a few businesses put a greater value on the paper trail than the quality of the system.
I'm a card-carrying member of the FSF, a Linux user, a supporter, and didn't mean to HURT anybody. I meant to make an obvservation, and hope that it perhaps HELPS somebody.
The full ChangeLog ended up missing, because I only have the history from 2.6.12-rc2 in my git archives, but if you want to, you can puzzle it together by taking the 2.6.12 changelog and merging it with the -rc1 and -rc2 logs in the testing directory
Nothing instills confidence in those who are not convinced that Linux is mature enough for their application like the messages:
"I was too lazy to download these files to put together a changelog" and
"the changelog wasn't in our CMS."
Actually, the single probability of everything occuring exactly as it did grows to one. While the probabilities of other events occuring shrink to zero.
Theo said that Linux is garbage... Really popular garbage, but still garbage.
Saying that you run Linux doesn't end that discussion. Saying that you run Linux just reinforces the point that Linux is popular, while doing nothing to fight the point that Linux is garbage.
Now, further in support of the point that Linux is popular, I'm typing this from my Dell Inspiron 9100 that runs Gentoo Linux. That said, I still haven't fought the claim that Linux is garbage. Of course, since I really should be working right now, I think that I'll save that for later.
Slashdot Mirror
It was censored from a newspaper before the creation of the Internet.
What part of online did you not understand?
Isn't there a critical shortage of us?
Aren't we supposed to be driving kids into this stuff, like they are in high school, regardless of the interests of the student.
Isn't this always going to be a great career?
I concur.
This is only news for nerds in 2 senses:
1) There was an atomic bomb involved
2) It's history
This has nothing to do with our rights in this day.
This has nothing to do with our rights online.
It was a war, some things get censored. None of this is stuff we haven't heard before in our history books. This article is of historic importance.
Interestingly, if the article had been posted differently, the reaction would be different as well.
It's funny how nobody has a sense of humor around here.
Yes, but apparently poo seems to have gone by the wayside
Ohhh, GLASS in space, I thought you said GAS in space, like in Rocket Man
I'm not actually complaining about the absense of the changelog... or even complaining for that manner.
/. will have seen that article, and will use it in an argument for Windows.
I merely stated that, I bet that a handful of guys will come in on Monday. They've been promoting Linux to their company.
Some manager who reads
That's all. Don't read any more into it than that please.
Lets say that you're a programmer, working at a company. You develop a solution under Linux, and want the company to use that.
Instead, you are told to redo it under Windows. You can't convince your program manager to use the Linux solution. They won't budge.
Now, you see the issue.
Yes, it is; because that thing is horrific.

Of course, clubbers in Spain are getting implants to get into bars, so, perhaps there's hope.

The trade of the beast!
This reminds me of the time that I got flamed for not understanding floating point math.
Of course, what I was saying in my post had nothing to do with a lack of understanding of floating point math, but, people flamed me for it anyway.
Quite a pedantic group we have here.

Yes, Slashdot is a different place :-(
Good explanation.
Whoooaaa buddy.

Here's a working link
It's "the Register."
It's, I believe, their signature.

Actually, most Americans want an intact Constitution.
Then we really shouldn't let Congress get away with some of this crap that they have pulled in the past few years.
Cyber Security Industry Alliance, a trade group that has lobbied the Bush administration to pay greater attention to Internet security
Please dont.
That doesn't actually counter Theo's argument.
