I'm not sure why, but most recent UI redesigns have just been crap (Ubuntu, Gnome3, Yahoo, Deviant Art, etc). What is it with the UI guys that they just have to go with a bunch of unnecessary bling, that hides the actual content and daily use features?
I'd mod you up if I had the points. Computer geeks are terrible at making things work for non-geeks. And if you say anything about this, you often get attacked. Just mention how a lot of linux programs are hard to use and see them freak out.
Exactly what I was going to say. All humans have a huge potential for violence. Most of us are just lucky enough to never get put into the situation that would spark it.
It seems the media is far more concerned about press releases that they can splash all over the front page than they are with pedos getting 12 years in jail. I love how the gist of the summary is all about the punishment being secret, not that they are getting punished. They really only want the gossip, not justice.
I'm betting this is the only way to get MS to fix the problem in a timely fashion. If it's in the wild, they HAVE to fix it, and fast. Guys had to do this with Apple, as well, because they never fixed any bugs unless absolutely forced to.
Wolfe is a better writer than 99% of everyone who's been published in fiction, including most literature authors. Since he writes science fiction though, most University professors would never recommend him. It's too bad that their prejudice places a whole field of fiction in the "unworthy" category.
Not sure why, but every single time Firefox updates, they break my favorite theme: Springshine. It's incredibly annoying. I suspect it's because they change the first number, instead of the second number, like a sane programmer would do (we should be on 4.18 or so now, not 21!).
Or if they do, the Supreme Court will fix them so they don't. Too many chances of real corruption being exposed if people can get information on what the state does.
Slashdot Mirror
I wonder if any of the Supreme Court Justices had scary phone calls or mysterious meeting with NSA personnel in the recent past.
Why do I think the home server for this assassination market is located at the CIA headquarters?
FreeOffice or OpenSuite are both better choices than what they went with.
TuxSuite is actually pretty cool!
Yep. Not to mention you also have to define what Libre means in the first place. The idiots who renamed Open Office should all be smacked.
Until someone dumps a nuke in our atmosphere and wipes out most of the servers. Then paper books are going to be very, very important.
This game looked amazing. I really wanted it. I hope that it is somehow saved from the scrapheap by Disney.
Because it's actually related to programming, unlike a large percentage of recent Slashdot posts?

NoScript works for me...

I'm betting average wages haven't risen that fast, especially over the last four years.

He'll fire a few high-profile idiots who stick their heads up to make the point. Everyone else will fall in line.
These guys just want to be left alone to play video games. Imagine WoW, but with the typical asian grindfest MMOs.

Yep. I think it's really cool. I suspect that other groups are also going to be using this program on other documents throughout the world.
Steve Jackson was involved with almost every major gaming company when rpg's first took off. He really was a major influence on gaming in general.
Who the heck downvoted this? Best opening/relevant comment in a while.

The news media does, though. And since the news media drives political opinion more than any other source...
Liberal Republicans do not win elections. Sadly, the idiots in DC can't figure this out.
