He shut down, he was sick of the people trying to
get free laptops and stuff, he meant it to be for people to give away their old hardware, not trade old crappy stuff, and try to ask for Newtons and Palm-Pilots in return.
There was a notice on the web-page after the site
shut down for about ten days.
Please watch this video,
for all you people out their who complain about the quality of Slashdot.
In this video (122 kbs Realplayer) Cmdr Taco explecitly says "I put on there what I like"
Not what you like!!!!!!!
So quit complaining, and if your still not happy, move the Kuro5hin.
I wonder what you have to do in order to get money from them.
My HP p120 came with a windows license (emblazened on the win95 booklet) but didn't come with a cd,
do you think their will be any problem involving this?
Try www.Myrealbox.com
Its Imap mail, so you can use a e-mail client,
and you can check it from the web.
The only problem is, the server is down about once a month for a couple hours, which happens to be right now.
I wonder if it is one of those Celerons with like 2 bits of Cache?
I have friend with one of those, and it sucks, I mean, really sucks, my pentium 120 is faster than it, and gets higher framerates in Quake2!
Could someone do me a favor, and explain exactly what an SQL is?
I'm kind of confused at this point, and haven't been able to figure it out from readers' comments.
Thanks
Is to go as expensive as possible, that way you won't kick yourself 5 years from now for buying it.
Get the highest quality disks, fastest channel (Fiber all the way!) and as much storage as possible,
and maybe, just maybe, it will still be in use 20 years from now, and the company will be glad they put that initial investment in.
That would be sweet,
I'd actually able to make some money from my Quake3 addiction.
I wonder if they will put out games which you can only play on their network,
or regular games cheaper that you can only play on their.
I got ahold of an Old IBM ps2 Model 80 (the 3 foot high case with a handle on top that weighs about eighty pounds). Anyone have any experience with putting a ATX mobo inside it?
It would make the perfect LAN party case.
I relize I would have to put in a new Power Supply, and do a bunch of Dremel tooling, put theres not any technical impossibilities, is there?
I currently have roadrunner (sitting behind a freesco firewall) and on the dsl-reports speed test I pull 1.5 megabits almost every time.
which means in browser downloads I've seen it hit 384kb's a sec, which roughly translates to that I've downloaded both Mandrake 7.2 cds (standard and extension) in under an hour, with both downloading at about 145kbs.
I would suggest getting a firewall (www.freesco.com) Freesco works great for me, Its a single floppy linux distro, with an amazing install process. I put it on an old p75, and it works perfect. Its all graphical (well kinda command line graphical) install, and you can control it after its set-up from inside your browser, to do stuff like open and close ports, re-boot, and check the system logs.
It also has a small http server, but roadrunner has it in their license agreemeant that you can't host (which is bullcrap, because ADSl lets you, so it is a downside, BTW, does anyone have experience hosting with RR?, is their a way you can make it so they can;t see you?)
Well, anyway, if you want a butt-loada speed for only 40$ a month, go with RR.
I agree, even though it would be nice aswell (maybe to have a cd come with?) so that if you can't find something you could do a text search on it instead of searching and searching through the index.
The Web is free, you can get on for free, with mildly annooying ads, or pay for higher bandwidth,
lets leave it like that, not tax it and regulate it.
Example, so many people complain about Porn, why?
Just don't look up "Sex" in a search engine, and it'll never bother you. Don't try to regulate someones for of entertainment (or exercise;-)
We could just aswell make a big deal out of Warez, or Moviez, or people telling you how to make drugs, or any number of things that is illegal.
I would get a hold of an old P120 or so, slap BEOS in it, attach it to your stereo system, and Whala!
The reason I would choose BEOS is because it doesn't mind getting shut of without shutting down(aka, just flipping the power), and it boots in about 10 seconds.
I believe it supports some radio Tuners, and you can get an Winamp esque program to play CDs and MP3's.
What about trying to get a program that runs in windows runnning in Wine?
If you look on the system requirments for programs, it sometimes tells you if you'll need Direct-X or not, since that is hard to set-up with wine. But there is alot of programs that don't need it, and would probably be just what you looking for, maybe even if you look on Wines site, you'll find where somebody elso already got one to work.
(Also, you could try VMware, you get a 30day license for free, and every time you want a new license, just sign up for some hot-mail account for them to send you one)
YEs my friend, for only 26,000 you can spend 3 hours of weightlessness, and be sick all over the place!!
really, almost every astronaught that goes up gets spacesick, sometimes for a whole day or more.
The movie was Extremly funny.
I've looked for at at Moviez sites but never been able to actually find it, does anyone have some links to disant Moviez sites they could clue me in on?

Why not launch it into space? RIght towards the sun.

do you think their will be any problem involving this?
Why not just plug into the USB port, and create a driver to just listen to the 1s and 0s as they would come to the Sound card?

Actually, when I installed Mandrake 7.2, it detected my Logitech Webcam and installed the software for it.
I just finished the book yesterday, what a nice suprise!!!

also, how cheap would it be?
It would be nice if their were 5$ and 10$ games for excellent people,
and 5 or 10 cent games for losers like me.

Come one geeks,
you know what the next thing to do is...
I want to Slashdot a server running on a Pin-Ball machine.
Oh thank God, I'm starting to suffer withdraw!
I actually got on the website last night, and read back articles.
Actually, I didn't know they made a newspaper, I thought it was just a website, but I have seen a calander they made.
Basically a CAmper with Wheels and an engine.
