And andover.net is still privately held. But if they ever go public, you can buy that. And if, having gone public, they release a slashdot tracking stock, you can buy that.
You think so? Sorry for belaboring the cracking contest again, but visit crack.linuxppc.org and www.windows2000test.com (if the latter is up at the moment) and tell me which you'd rather have running your e-commerce site.
Windows 2000 may no longer be readily crackable, but that's not much help if you can't keep the darn thing running. (sigh)
Well, it often happens with the most obvious of trolls... I guess these days at least some moderators are a little sensitive about the crack about Slashdot being Linux-biased.
However, the more subtle anti-MS remarks still may go unchallenged more often than similarly subtle anti-Linux remarks.
The guestbook itself is sick. It's not properly blocking malicious HTML or Javascript, so last time I checked it was redirecting to a site that spews infinitely many JavaScript dialog boxes. I had to switch to a console session and kill Netscape. I wonder what would've happened if I'd been running Windows...
Part of the problem with suing the government is that the government must consent to be sued. It's part of the original Constitution. I guess the purpose is to prevent frivolous lawsuits from tying up the business of government -- if not, I've always wondered what was the purpose of that part.
I don't know if that applies to Congresscritters individually.
Well, where do you go? Name us a place that we have a decent chance of finding women that we can actually talk to, and a decent percentage of us are so there. Quite a few of the geek guys are home, because we don't know where else to be.
Of course, you'll still get plenty of types A-E above, but the greater the numbers, the better the odds.
Between cable-modems and xDSL, analog Internet access is on its way out. Our concerns about Internet access being dominated by carrier monopolies or oligopolies should be directed at the broadband providers.
In any case, for the rest of the transition period, while analog is still the predominant Internet access method, the local phone carriers still have their ISPs. If anyone else can survive making their dialup access a loss leader, it's the baby Bells. Some competition is better than none.
The phrase "good journalist", to me, implies that we're comparing him with other journalists. By that standard, he is indeed a "good journalist".
Of course, that doesn't make him a good writer. Just less lousy than a lot of people who pass for journalists in the rest of the media. (Off-topic: Am I the only one who finds the phrase "New Media" to be absurdly pretentious? Of course, that's partly an argument against Katz, also...)
That problem could conceivably have been responsible for the failed user log in messages. Though I would find it astonishing that anything worked if the logon service was hosed.
On the other hand, on such a clean box, why would services fail during startup?
Usually the way virulent virii become less virulent is by killing lots of victims. Basically, if you're a parasite, killing off all your hosts is usually maladaptive and is selected against.
Unfortunately, this won't necessarily apply to AIDS. Due to its extended incubation period, a carrier of the virus can spread it for years before dying.
On the other hand, TANSTAAFL applies to the microbial world too; if we're lucky, the resources that a putative airborne AIDS virus spends in building a more durable coat will also make it less virulent (by not reproducing as quickly, for example). But I wouldn't want to count on that.
I'm merely struck by the astonishing similarities between the original post and the attacks on Dungeons and Dragons from the mid-80's.
I mean, can't you just picture a Jack Chick tract saying exactly what that said about Falun Gong? And about as coherently too. Though at least the original poster has the excuse of not having English as a first language.
Howdy! Things have been going good for Sluggy right now. It's not making me enough money to survive, but it IS making money. I am close to making a living doing this! Picture that! I could make a living doing Sluggy Freelance FREE on the Internet! How nifty is that?
Support Sluggy!
(BTW, the current storyline is awesome. It's even more fun than the original Army of Darkness it parodies!)
And the best part is that this probably (IANAL) doesn't count as insider trading. A post on Slashdot ought to be considered public knowledge -- tough luck for other investors if they don't read it.:-)
Nevertheless, IE deals with that problem quite effectively by rendering a small placeholder where the image would go, then redoing the layout when it gets enough of the image to determine the size.
I've heard it said that the current Netscape doesn't do this because its layout engine is too slow and cumbersome... that's why the improved rendering engine in Mozilla is exciting, because it allows for on-the-fly rerendering a la IE.
Which still doesn't excuse idiot web authors. Actually, what's worse than those who don't use HEIGHT and WIDTH attributes at all, are those who try to use reduced HEIGHT and WIDTH values to generate thumbnails. Now that sucks.
Slashdot Mirror
Because He left substantial evidence for evolution. So either evolution happened or He is a liar.
(Replace "He" in the above with the pronoun and capitalization of your choice.)
Indeed. The very next sentence of the Hitchhiker's Guide quote goes something like this:
"Oh, that was easy," says Man, who then goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed at the next zebra crossing.

Buddy, I may work for Microsoft, but it looks to me like you drank the Kool-Aid.

Since crypto is a munition, should we defend the :)

Actually, according to Feinstein, it's not okay to bear arms either. But that's a whole different can of worms.

Don't you mean the B5 shaped hole in your mind?
Tell that to the fellow who allegedly wrote Melissa.

Though I pity the poor E*Trade folks getting requests for shares with the quantity set to "JarJar sucks".

I stand corrected. Go here.
People like this post just to get attention. Why is everyone encouraging him by posting repl... uh... never mind.
