Screw ups like this are why I never, ever spend money someone else (the bank, the brokerage, etc) tell me I have unless I can verify through my own records that I actually have that money.
Despite what Monopoly may have taught you, there is NEVER a bank error in your favor. If a financial institution screws up in a way that benefits you, you can GUARANTEE they will eventually find it and fix it, and if you've tried to take advantage of the situation in the meantime you're going to get hosed.
I suppose, until they decide to retire that page. Also, I would like to get a useful page when I click on my name at the top of the page rather than having to type in the address bar or navigate my bookmarks. Also, I prefer the role of the grumpy curmudgeon, and using an alternative user page rather than bitching about the current one is not in keeping with that role.
The new user page is ugly and less useful than the old one. It takes information that used to be on the main user page and makes me click on a second link in order to see it.
I respect that website maintainers like to add new shiny things to the website every once in a while, but for God's sake, don't take away functionality in the process.
I'm sorry, but this is one of the most disgusting comments I've ever read on Slashdot. It's not funny, it's not clever and it's not in good taste.
Have a bit more respect for a bloke who did all us net users a service eh?
Really? One of the most disgusting? I've seen things on this site that would make your eyes bleed, and you think a guy asking about AdBlock is disgusting? Get a grip, man. Either you browse at +4, you just joined 10 seconds ago, or you've recently suffered a major head injury and are suffering from amnesia. Either way, I wish you the best in your recovery.
Also, I find the people faking moral outrage or deep sorrow over the death of someone they didn't know to be more disgusting than the OP. At least the OP is being honest with himself.

When you look into your children's eyes and wonder what will they wear, eat, buy their books and toys from, somehow you feel you can do less-than-dreamlike jobs.
I have two boys and couldn't disagree more; I just beat them and gamble away my wages.
=Smidge=
I don't want to call you a bad parent or anything, but the way you're wasting your kids' potential is appalling.
Those kids could be out hustling on the street or working in an illegal textile mill and providing you money to gamble with. Instead, you waste time and energy beating them when the factory foreman could be doing it and paying you for the privilege.
Must you turn something going on on an entirely different planet into a political rant?
Global warming may or may not be affected by humans (I find it hard to believe that it isn't to at least some degree), but that has nothing at all to do with this story.
Personally, I think the Red Spot is shrinking because illegal immigrants are taking jobs from the Americans that would normally be maintaining it.

They're trying to get paid rather than make a point.
They have no leg to stand on under current law, which is probably why they're pushing for a new law. Google only lists stories. The small excerpts that are included are clearly short enough to fall under fair use provisions, and all they do is point people to the actual site with the content on it. But then, if you're a newspaper, meaning you're probably suffering the inevitable demise of your print publication, you'll look anywhere for opportunities to make more money to keep yourself afloat.
I copied it directly from the post I replied to, so blame them if it's wrong. I guess I could have calculated it myself, but I prefer to waste time making lame jokes rather than wasting time on math.
* Cover it with metal spikes and skulls. * Tie it to the front grill of a Hummer. * Convert it into an ammo clip for an Uzi. * Build a beer helmet around it and wear it on your head * Program it to make fart noises every time your finger is pulled.

Make sure there are plenty of half naked women being objectified in it. * Tell the girls you have a small notebook because you have no reason to compensate for anything else.

Oracle already takes RedHat's work and rebrands it. Buying RH itself and paying for those developers out of its own pocket makes little sense when they already have what they need from RH without spending a dime. The only thing RH can do for Oracle at this point is reduce their profit margin.
I suppose they could buy it just to bury the brand, but that seems like an awfully big expense to bury a company that's not really doing a ton of damage to Oracle's business anyway.
A couple of years back, the "Oracle wants to buy RedHat" rumor turned out to be sort of true: Oracle wanted to take RH's software and sell it as its own, but it certainly didn't want to actually buy the company. Given Ellison's comments in the past about why he thinks buying open source companies is silly (because if he wanted what they had, he would just take it), I wouldn't expect Oracle to make a play for RH.
I like redbox too, but their selection (by necessity I guess, since it's just a little box) is just horrible. I still go to Blockbuster if I want a movie right now and redbox doesn't have it. Of course, that's probably too small a niche for a company with the overhead Blockbuster has to survive in.
If $30 for a movie is unreasonable to you, there are plenty of other ways to see the movie without violating the law. You could go rent it at Blockbuster. Or you could get a Netflix account and get it there. There's no particular reason you need a permanent copy of the movie to call your own, especially if it "probably sucks".
There are a lot of excuses as to why people download movies rather than renting them, but they're all pretty suspect.

So long as you can get them to use energy from some source other than our delicious brains, I'm okay with that idea.
How many is "over 90?" 91? 839,723,435? What?
I can understand why people put "over 34,000,000" because the exact number might not be known or would take too long to say, but "over 90?" Really?
You say that like it's a bad thing...

Well, I don't have it, so I guess it's not related to spending ludicrous amounts of time posting stupid jokes on Slashdot instead of working...

If she isn't naked and petrified with a bowl of hot grits, Slashdotters are by and large not interested.
Moving from IPv4 is like moving from 32 bit to 64 (128 in this case).
You mean in that it's been around for years but most people still haven't switched and probably won't in the near future?
Yah, I guess it is like that.
Psh...that achievement is just a myth. No one has ever actually achieved it.
You know, I remember when April Fools jokes about DNF's release date were fresh and new.
When even april fools day jokes about your release date become stale, that might be a hint you've waited just a tad too long to release your product.

I told my girlfriend next year she wasn't invited and I was just going to bring the dog.
So how long was it before you regained consciousness?
* Cover it with metal spikes and skulls.
* Tie it to the front grill of a Hummer.
* Convert it into an ammo clip for an Uzi.
* Build a beer helmet around it and wear it on your head
* Program it to make fart noises every time your finger is pulled. With a name like "wind", you could even pretend it came that way from the factory.
* Put an Oakland Raiders logo on it.
* Tie it to the back of a pit bull with a chain collar.
* Put it down your pants for some "natural male enhancement".
* Tie it to your stomach (under your shirt), and tell woman to punch it so they can feel how hard your "abs" are.
* Keep it open and playing a heavy metal video nonstop at full volume. Make sure there are plenty of half naked women being objectified in it.
* Tell the girls you have a small notebook because you have no reason to compensate for anything else.
Really, the possibilities are endless.

But you'd have to ask a vegetable if it feels pain.
I've tried. I ask them over and over again, and they never answer me. Eventually, I get kicked out of the hospital.
If $30 for a movie is unreasonable to you, there are plenty of other ways to see the movie without violating the law. You could go rent it at Blockbuster. Or you could get a Netflix account and get it there. There's no particular reason you need a permanent copy of the movie to call your own, especially if it "probably sucks".
There are a lot of excuses as to why people download movies rather than renting them, but they're all pretty suspect.
I assume there will be a cracked version out shortly.
