Uh, those would be your troops, not mine.

You don't have to enter a search. It's obvious anyway. Your point being?
My point is that your comment was misleading and of no benefit to the conversation. If it's so obvious, and if the change in language is the whole point, then why did you just make a vague reference to logos instead? I for one (and obviously not just I) benefited from those posts, and moderation played an important part.
Three comments providing alternative logos (yeah yeah, interfaces too) were modded 4 and above. I made a jibe. So what? Who cares?
So what? We should ask the same of you. A user enters a comment that is witty (hacking with the h4x0r interface) and you have to poo poo it. So what if they get mod points, where is the harm in this? Who cares? The people who have to deal with your condescension.
Next time if you don't have anything to add to the conversation (the difference between your post and all the posts above it) may I suggest not adding anything at all.

You have to provide alternative Google logos to get some karma around here?
It's more than just logos, if you had taken the time to enter a search you might have noticed that the entire interface is in a different language, such as h4x0r, bork, Elmer Fudd or Klingon. If anything is over moderated it's you:-)
Oracle support has pulled our asses out of the fire a few times. OTOH, a coworker was telling me how once he worked with Oracle consultants that were still using the PL/SQL Vol1 book.
Networking, while far from being a dead end job, is not Where Its At. Go into programming, 'cause just like the telephone operator, networking will mostly be replaced by stuff that works on its own. There's still lots of jobs available in software development, go for that if you think you've got it.
don't see how NOT releasing the special edition is a better option, because then you're just depriving the fans.
You've obviously never purchased a product that says "New and Improved!" or "New Packaging, same great taste!" before. And you call yourself a consumer?
The home consoles of late killed arcades because they offered the same quality for a one-time charge at home, as opposed to quartering one to death.
Up in Canada the average PS2 game is about $85(plus tax!), while the average arcade is $0.50, Considering you can play the game in the arcade 170 times for same price as the console game (and we aren't even including the cost of the console) I'd hardly consider it 'quartering one to death'. Vgame rentals, as well as the dramatic improvement in PC/console CPU/grapics to the point where there is little difference from arcades has had a much greater effect.
I'm not sure what version of Windows you are running, but unless it's nt/2k/xp I don't think it works with > 512megs of ram. I could be wrong on this, but I remember reading it in more than one place.
GTA1 and GTA2 were great, too bad they don't work in Windows 2000/XP. If someone has figured out a way to get them to work in 2000/XP, please let me know!
It is twice the distance of the Sun to Pluto (7.6 billion miles away). To look at an object that small, at that distance, travelling at the speed which it is currently travelling, would be harder than playing this game at max zoom.
How many commercials can you stick in a 2-3 minute cartoon?
The answer is anywhere from 3 to 6. I will use Hockey Night in Canada's Coach's Corner as an example:
Commericals 1 and 2: At end of first period, anouncer says: stay tuned for Coach's Corner. Then they play one or two commercials.
Commercial 3: Intro/theme to Coach's Corner is played, and they will announce that Coach's Corner is brought to you by Ford of Canada.
Commercials 4 and 5: After the theme, one or two more commercials are played before we actually get to the Coach's Corner segment.
Commercial 6: At the end of the segment, theme music is played again and at the end Ford of Canada get's its logo printed on the screen.
Actually, even after the closing theme and display of Ford logo, they show a (you guessed it) Ford commercial, so you could count that as a seventh commercial, but if you're like me by then you've already changed the channel. It's not much of a stretch to apply the same methodology to a 3 minute cartoon.
...more dongles in our future. Most if not all recent laptops have built in 10/100 ethernet and 56K modem, as well as USB/firewire ports...there is less and less need for PCMCIA/PCCards of any size at all.
I'm just a regular Java developing shmoe located in frigid Canada, who first saw this article on The Register and since Slashdot is USA-centric, not to mention very supportive of anything to do with Linux for the people, I figured it was worth submitting since a lot of people might have missed it and would be very interested. I do not have anything to gain from this, and have no vested interest in either Slashdot, Lindows, Via or any other company mentioned in the post.
I hope this little reply helps shed some light on things, and my I suggest in the future that you take the time to write a proper link?
Oh, and for the record, while I agree an iBook would be close to the same thing, with better brand name recognition...it still costs $200 more, and weighs more too (I could be wrong on this one). Another reason why I submitted this story was that only 3 weeks ago I purchases a Toshiba Portege 4000, which cost about twice the price for similar features, and weighs a pound more! I was hoping somebody might see this and save a buck...although I must admit I'm very satisfied with my Portege.
If you visited the site you would know that a WinAmp3 version is in progress. Besides, WinAmp 2 is a near perfect MP3 player, WinAmp 3 sucks the llama's ass.
There is a woman at my work in marketing named (I kid you not) Rhona Butt-Luck.
I can still remember first time she came to my desk looking at something I was working on for her department. She asked me to mail her a copy and so I opened up Outlook and asked her what her name was, she said "Rhona", I typed it in and was about to ask for he last name when the autocompletion kicked in and "Butt-Luck" showed up. I kept a straight a face as possible and sent the email off.
As soon as she left I instant messaged all my friends. Haha, sorry Rhona, I'm sure you understand where I was coming from.
Seriously, according to my broadband ISP contract, I'm not allowed to run any server application of any type!
Not only does this mean I can't have an ftp or mp3 server, technically it means I can't run VNC, or even do JSP/servlet/webservices development from home!
When companies make blanket statements like that, they'll get blanket rejections as a response.
A demo is one thing, as far as I'm concerned, unless the demo is for an established product, then it is no holds barred do what you can to win the sale (even if that means your 'server' is a guy in another room feeding responses, hehehe). But if you have an existing app and your app has SQL in the view, well then get off your lazy ass and fix it, if you aren't doomed already.

In the same way that you don't need to stop walking while chewing bubble gum, you don't need to stop and talk when using voice comms.

My bad for not qualifying the that in my statement. The that in question was in regards to calling SQL from the view tier. Thnx for pointing it out.
Take a lesson on MVC and learn why that is the 'bad' way to do things.
UltraEdit has colour coding, and can generate HTML tables on the fly. And it's not hard to learn CSS off by heart.
