LCD manufacturers routinely put defective screens on the market, on the premise that a dead pixel here or there "won't be noticed". Too bad, because consumers do notice and do tend to return the product equipped with the dodgy screen, only to be told that it's "normal".
"hello, I'm Robert Metcalfe. I state that the value of a network grows exponentially to the number of nodes present in it. So the more nodes you have, the better your network. Oh, and incidentally, I'm the CEO of 3Com, a company that sells network cards..."
That's the guy thinking "before f*cking up my webcam to remove the IR lens, I'll do something normal with it so I won't feel so bad when it ends up dead on my table". His hack worked, so he posts both...
This thing is the SportsMobile from Team Caltech: just imagine the advances in science if Snoop Dogg had entered the DARPA Grand Challenge! Pimpin' hard but somebody's gotta do it I guess...
So you have to buy, or already own a copy of Nero. So tell me again how this is "free-as-in-beer?"
Well, it's free-as-the-beer-you-steal-from-the-convenience-sh op, given that Nero is usually d/l'ed rather than purchased really.
Perhaps they account for P2P in their "free as in beer" assessment...
Nero would have better spent their time and $$$

Nero Burning for Linux

... distributing k3b, cdrecord, cdrdao and all. Those are free as in beer and speech, already work just fine with almost any burner, and they're already there (as opposed to Nero having to roll their own).
I log and keep all my traffic including IRC logs going back to '94.
Hey B5_geek, here's a trick to free up a lot of disk space *and* raise the S/N ratio in your logs: mv irclog.txt irclog.txt.fat && grep -vi lol irclog.txt.fat > irclog.txt && rm -f irclog.txt.fat
Store everything in mbox format (that is, raw text with headers and all).
Every email client worth the name understands that, for the good reason that it's the format they receive emails in:-)
For nonstandard forms of archives (perhaps old AOL clients and whatnot), you're probably left either (1) perl'ing a convert script or, if you can (2) fire up the old client in Win95 in VMWare or something and fwd the mails to yourself (tedious).
Aren't AMD kind-of late? When one talks about mobile computing, "centrino" comes to mind. Right?
No, "heavy suitcase" and "outlet in airport to recharge goddamned battery that failed in a middle of a save" is what comes to mind when one talks about mobile computing.
In this article, Network Computing's Dave Molta contends that such networks will stifle competition and will be an expensive mistake.
Oh yeah, let's not forget how today's telcos so favor competition. Anything anybody does that goes against telcos' interests cannot be bad for consumers.
Googles having to have to beef up their search indices on "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Bears", "Ditka", and "Polish Sausage".
Tell me, are "daaa bears", "ditka" and "polish sausage" pr0n words? cuz I was under the impression that Google handled much more requests for pr0n than local culinary curiosities...
Software company to offer yet another USB memory key bootable Linux distro. Only the bootable key is an expensive Ipod, and the computers you can run Linux on aren't the ubiquitous PC, but much more rare Macs.
Hmm, I'm sure all 14 potential users are jumping up and down with anticipation. Great market research guys...
Slashdot Mirror
Don't throw away those "almost perfect" CPUs! Give them to needy people in the third world!
I think you mean the 2.99999999th world...

In short: computers suck...
Read TFA and you'll have the answer in less time than it takes to say "Slashdottern lesen nicht dem fucking artikel"
Congratulations to Ram Kolli
A guy named "Ram" who's a memory champion? come on...
It's black monolith fart actually...
You can read this law like this:
"hello, I'm Robert Metcalfe. I state that the value of a network grows exponentially to the number of nodes present in it. So the more nodes you have, the better your network. Oh, and incidentally, I'm the CEO of 3Com, a company that sells network cards..."
How many Slashdot dupes per square inch that memory can hold...
WTF is the timelapse movie doing there?

is the back of a Volkswagen still an uncomfortable place?
Before the hack, it was mediocre. Now it's multimediocre...
Slashdot meets Pimp My Ride...
A feature I find helpfull are the plugins. They allow drag and drop of FLACs WMAs or just about any other filetype you can think of.
/dev/cdwriter in NeroLINUX... :-)
I wonder what happens if you drag-and-drop
It only supports .nra, though.
I didn't realize Charlton Heston owned Nero stock...
Or you could just bypass 1), 2) and 3) and get a Bud or a Corona. Same taste, it's not free though...

Is there some great advantage that I'm not thinking of to having a giant bundled suite of apps, rather than five or six individual downloads?
You get it in one giant download, instead of five or six measly, unsatisfactory ones...
From TFA:
Our primary concern in the short term is with being able to ship a SeaMonkey front end on
top of a Gecko
That doesn't sound like a developer's list, that sounds like a post on alt.sex.zoophilia.

Funny, my colleague posted many good comments here while on the job and he finally got sacked...
