/.'ers are apparently sedentary, they sit at their screens so much that weight isn't a consideration, for that matter, they can listen to stuff while sitting at the screen, so why bother?
/.'ers are more interested in pushing consumer technology to its more than whether there's a need. (It's all about the game!)
/.'ers must be colorblind (I'm R/G) so the colors aren't interesting, let along exciting.

So what's the average age of a slashdotter? Undoubtably there must be a few in the target demographic, now how many have kids in the group?
I identify more with Homer Simpson than Britney Spears and I'm cool with that, inspite of the tone of that post. Now if you'll excuse me
I need to go buy some cargo pants, Justin Timberlake CD's, and iPod mini and a stone of oatmeal (because it's the right thing to do.)
Microsoft has a knowledgebase as well, but only for troubleshooting, service packs, and development. I've been to their site maybe twice.
I tend to avoid it, it's got lots of reference stuff but is pretty short on examples, which probably explains all the good user supported sites/knowledgebases around the web.
his guy gives website designers a bad name. I'd say he definitely belongs in prison. 3.5 million hits per month? Oh, yeah, right.
Was it featured on Slashdot? Could also raise the hits if there was some combination of names/words which match the top searches on Google or any other search engine.
I wonder how many degrees are really needed to connect everyone in the world. My mom seems to know half the population of Holland, Michigan and a college friend probably knows half the business leaders in the country. (I ran into a classmate of hers from Harvard Bus. Sch., whom I bought Photoshop from.)
Jeez, no one would ever want to buy that underpowered machine! Give me 640k, and we will talk.;-)
Oy! Yer spoilt! I used to program in 32K and I liked it!
Why, some of the finest programming and games I've ever seen fit in 32K. It's all slop nowdays. Widgets, buttons and things thag go Bing! and need 256 MB to do it in.
have been doing this for years. We've come up with many creative names for it so the kids don't know what were talking about. I guess we can add movieokie to the list
Get a pile of geeks together and you have Spock, Kirk, any of the Pythons, and so on. You don't even have to go anywhere, as you find it all over the internet in blogs, USENET, personal web pages, and so on.
Does it really deserve its own name? I mean people have been doing this for ages. They think of a scene and just act it out. Its great fun, but movioke is going a little to far...
For something to catch on it needs an identifiable label, and slapping 'Movie-oke' on it will inform Mr. and Ms. Ignorant Masses that there's a new trend in fun and lively entertainment to follow. Just remember to wear a mack if someone's doing John Belushi from Animal House.
So, this to me seems like another example of security breaches that can get companies, organizations and governments into trouble because of their use of Microsoft products.
So, last time I heard, certain agencies are prohibiting the use of.doc formats for certain information transactions and instead relying on standard ascii text encoded files.
Another example?

Dear Mr. President,
Upon further review of intelligence data we have found no^H^H Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq. We find no^H^H reason to go to war with Iraq at this time.
Sincerely,

Aye, those are the type.
I use an email client which lets me view the full header (if I select option) and view message content as text. As my email address has been forged a lot I considered it, but I'm pretty skeptical of most email. The first tip of maximum bogousity was awkward spacing, the other a check of the header. Off they go to bit heaven.
Yeah, but they've been secretly building their own Deathstar, which is hidden behind the Moon, for years now. I'm not so worried about the Evil Empire using it as when it gets 0wn3d.
I'm getting some forged emails lately, badly forged at that, which look like they're coming from my ISP, "warning viruses being sent from your account", "warning immenent suspension", etc. They have a pif file atteched (which I never open) and have been coming from.lt or.gr servers (my ISP would not likely be using these.) Looks to me like another brand of worm on the rounds and there's a morbid sense of humor behind it.
Lessee, three links on the same page to "Order Your ZVUE Now!"... Link to the Player,
more "Order Your ZVUE Now!" links, (I see it arrives for the 2003 holiday
shopping season, looks like old news.) The FAQ
covers some stuff. This thing probably sucks power when watching video, so
"runs for hours on 4 AA batteries" probably means audio, not video. It's probably pretty heavy, too, but I couldn't find weight or whether it has a belt clip.
Uses Secure Digital/MMC
cards rather than Compact Flash, but looks very cool.
Yet another memory card format to contend with, ugh.
Pretty hyped site. Little on useful information.:-/
Psst.... Theres a black helicopter over your house right now!!
Fortunately, as the White Spy, I had a trap set up to trigger on downdrafts and launch a big rock from a trebuchet which smashed the Black Spy helicopter!!
Seriously, I dont like PATRIOT and the other crap pushed on us by the paniced [SIC] public any more than anybody else, but saying the Navy shot down that plane is just ignorant.
Panicked public: People who actually live too far away from any primary terror target, but feel obligated to make up for the lack of panic expressed by those who do live close to a target and take the risk in stride.
Another fascinating installment on the BBC this morning about the bugging of the UN, which has been business as usual and diplomats go elsewhere to hold private or sensitive conversations. Spy vs. Spy all over again. Antonio Prohias, we miss you.
For all the voters who will be voting for the fist time, or just aren't familiar with the terminology, 'Super Tuesday' is the first Tuesday of March when 10 or so states have their primary elections.
Aw sh!t. And I just got my cape back from the cleaners and located a phone booth (man, do people look at you funny when you strip your clothes off in a glass phone booth.)
Super Tuesday also happens to be whether you see California drown in red ink or not. Personally, I'd love to see that political climber, Ahnold, get a taste of the pitfalls of politics, but I'd hate to see the state go through the agony of cutting a large chunk of an already lean budget (work in schools and you can see how lean it really is.)
My ballot will probably be the same as last time, a punch card with a marker. Pretty high-tech, eh? I haven't checked to see if it's a standard Scantron format, would be interesting.
Anyway, off to vote in a moment. It's one duty and right I do take seriously.
It may just be scientist ruffling their feathers at a new theory, or there may very well be serious problems with the evidence. It's certainly not a final answer yet.
A few theories to give a severe wedgie and laugh at are what others use to make their own look more reasonable. Be wary of all theories equally.

As Marvin said, it was in the patterns of Arthur's brain and a simple matter to tell them.
Arthur asked this question many times: "What?"
