I don't see a problem in this. Let them make money, as long as they deliver a good slashdot replacement. He'll, I'd even pay for premium as for arstechnica. They are also corporate owned and keep up a great community.
After looking at how dice.com sells slashdot http://slashdotmedia.com/about... it's not hard to guess that the whole redesign is just for revenue purposes. And a good looking site just sells better to media morons. I'm doubtful that the boycott will work but it's a good way of giving dice the finger. Also there are two options that will work of getting slashdot back. First is to build a new site, which is was OkianWarrior suggests: http://altslashdot.org/ Second is to set up a kickstarter to buy slashdot back form dice.com: http://slashdot.org/comments.p...

Well, it surely would be enough for all CS need my high school has. I also know one school whose best workstation for the kids (ok, its an elementary) is a 486dx-100. There are still plenty of tasks this computer would be useful at.
Linux is far more client server advaned, that is the market key to Linux.
Well, I mount my/home from my own nfs freebsd server which is connected via 100bastTX ethernet.
on linux simply unraring an archive gives me i/o errors due bad linux nfs code.
on my laptop nfs mounts work like a charm. so you can't tell me that linux is more client/server advanced.
This seems like an entirely new system, because the BSD type systems do not have journaling, and there is no such system on the forseable horizon.
The german magazine iX had a very informative comparison between FreeBSD's SoftUpdates and Linux journaling Filesystems. It actually turns out that softupdates ar more advanced than journaling so it wouldn't be very useful to develop them.
It would be really cool if debian could use a P2P network for apt. Take some load off the poor (VA?) sites hosting debian.org, and have a distributed backup if they ever go away...
the question is not if other people can read your html, only your browser has to understand it. and i don't think that mozilla cares if you write fn instead of FirstName.
Slashdot Mirror
Are those the same autonomous crapvertisement drones that run slashdot now?

Yeah, imagine a beowolf cluster of those.....
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Ever heard of mirrors???

Another recycled feature by M$.
When you have your home directory on a server
connected to the internet, you can do the same
with your unix box.
