  1. Goes to shelf on "MS Killed Java" (on the Client) JL Founder · · Score: 1

    Goes to shelf and removes official printed copy of "Conclusions of Law and Order" USA v. Microsoft Corporation as published by the US printing office.

    Page 9 "Microsoft's campaign succeeded in preventing - for several years, and perhaps permanently - Navigator and Java from fulfilling their potential to open the market for Intel-compatible PC operating systems to competition on the merits."

    Page 18 - "Combating the Java Threat" This goes on for approx 2 full pages

    There may be more, just download the full document and have a look.

  2. Re:We (The USA) are sorry. on The Darwinian Revolution: Science Red in Tooth and Claw · · Score: 2

    Why can't a creationist also belive in evolution?

    Also, it is a lot easier for a European to go to another country because the countries are so close to each other. The 375+ miles I drive to see my daughters would get from one country to another in a lot of Europe. In the US it gets me from Texas to just near the OK/AK border.It is rather expensive for a large portion of the people in the US to go to another country.

    As we speek, a team from the US is flying over to Eastern Europe to copy there highly effective pollution control systems. Because everyone know the rest of the world is 100% energy efficent and has not contributed even 0.00001% to global warming.

    We (The USA) are sorry.

    In the future when Europe is on the verge of falling to a European dictator, we will leave Europe alone.

    When Europe need to be rebuilt after that war, we will leave Europe alone.

    When Europe need protection from forces from the East, we will leave Europe alone.

    When Europe needs help in it's own backyard to bring down yet another dictator who is killing people just because of the ethnic background, we will leave Europe alone.

  14. Re:But is is his Job. on Recycling The First World, in the Third · · Score: 2

    from the about link on /. " In the beginning there was no Slashdot. Bored and confused geeks would scribble "First Post" in the sand. Grits were strictly for consumption and there wasn't a place to get nerd oriented news. Then in September of 97 Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda changed all that. With the help of Jeff "Hemos" Bates and others, Slashdot has stumbled forward with the simple mission to provide 'News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters'.

    Today Slashdot is owned by OSDN, but it is still run by many of the same people as it was 'Back in the Day'. Today we serve millions of pages to hundreds of thousands of readers. But the goal is still the same."

    from cmdrtaco.net "Slashdot I guess I should just fess up and take the blame- I created Slashdot a long time ago, and now it seems to have grown into something pretty amazing. Come on down and check it out for news about Linux, Open Source Software, Legos, Games, Star Wars, Science, Technology and pretty much anything else that falls into the "News for Nerds, Stuff that Matters" umbrella. "

    from the /. FAQ "Slashdot is run primarily by me and by Jeff "Hemos" Bates, who posts stories, sells advertising, and handles the book reviews"

    But it is his (CmdrTaco's) job. He runs the blasted site and he posted the article. You know it appears that slashdot is not the slashdot that I remember.

    Don't you know, it is our (The USA's) fault. Everything bad that happens in the world is our fault and everthing good that happens happens because we failed to stop the good from happening.
