I am owed a few thousand dollars by an out of state client that refuses to pay. I have a case, documents and phone calls to give me an iron clad case yet I can not afford to take it to trial as the lawyers fees would be more than the settlement.
If Sun fully opensources Java like Redhat wants them to it will result in Sun losing millions per year in license fees from IBM and others. This will harm Sun, one of Redhat's major opponents.
Does anyone know how to unlock the newish vonage/linksys combo Router/VOIP units? I have one from a client that refused to pay me (Hi Dave!) and would like to do something with it.
They are crazy. They have been banning people this week for 'not showing the correct 'honor' to the office of president' by this they mean by spelling president with a lowercase p and not an uppercase P.
This is the same site that called President Clinton president Klintoon during most of his admin.
Slashdot seems to be very U.S.-centric. Do you have any plans to be more international in your scope?
Slashdot is U.S.-centric. We readily admit this, and really don't see it as a problem. Slashdot is run by Americans, after all, and the vast majority of our readership is in the U.S. We're certainly not opposed to doing more international stories, but we don't have any formal plans for making that happen. All we can really tell you is that if you're outside the U.S. and you have news, submit it, and if it looks interesting, we'll post it.
It is worth noting that there is a Japanese Slashdot run by VA Japan. While we helped them a little in their early days, they essentially run their own content without any real involvement from us... none of us can read Kanji! There are currently no plans to do other language or nation specific Slashdot sites.
I used to work for an "ultraliberal gun nut" when I was in Dallas. I have never had to fire my gun in selfdefense but I know those who have (shotgun with scattershot) and in every case simply firing in the air drove the people away. Now, this was out in the country and I would not recommend such a tactic in the cities.
I live in Texas also, hell some wack job tried to post my address to./ a few months back. Besides, those with CC permits commit much less gun/violent crime then those who do not have them.
You make it sound like getting into a fight with Bubba will get you shot, which it won't. It may get you beaten by him and his friends, but they most likely won't shot you:)
I have had plenty of death threats from those claiming to be liberals sent to my slashdotemail@gmail.com address. I have had about as many from those claiming to be gopers...
Both sides have about an equal number of insane people on their side who are, unfortuntaly, very loud.
My congressmen have been ignoring me since I wrote them asking what laws I could break since I wasn't in a labor intensive industry and had no need to hire illegals.
They don't listen to the "Common Folk" unless they have a lot of money and/or whores they are willing to donate to them
Such comments are driven by sites like freerepubic.com and their armies of BushBots. Democrateunderground does the same thing on issues they do not like.
Echo chambers kind of lead to that sort of behavior.
A record of everyone who calls gun shops, ammo shops, hunting shops and mags, the NRA and all their friends would be perfect for the ATF to use to generate a list of most of those who have guns.
It would sure make it easier to take peoples guns away if they had that sort of list, would it not?
Then why do they have so many wars? Klingons, Romulans, Borg, Gorn, Dominion, Cardasian, and a host of others? Don't forget the unnamed alien race that tried to take over star fleet or the times that some in star fleet tried to take over the federation.
Sure doesn't sound like a Utopia to me.
You must care what I think, well at least enough to respond.

Small claims is out due to the amount owed.
Have you noticed that /. has become a playground for 16 year olds who appear to not know a damn thing about tech/programming/anything nerdy?
While it may not make a profit, reducing the income for licensing will make the losses larger.
Bitching about it won't make it change.
Trust me - you just get ignored.
No one with 2605 posts to /. has a life :)

You should try freerepublic.com.

Apple made it.
Combat damage may render the shielding ineffective.
Hey dumbass - you might want to read the slashdot FAQ.
Most site visitors do not vote in the polls.

That was one of my 'friends' they appear to follow me around :) He/she must not have a life if they can find time to harass me.

If our Founding Fathers didn't break unjust laws the United States of America would not be here...
Don't let what is moral stop you from doing what is right.

Does that mean those on the Mexico/Texas boarder can blame George Bush to the increase in crime caused by illegals?
In such a world those who control energy would rule the world.
Not sure. But we do know that Earth First! will blame the problem on humanity.
