  1. What about Frank Herbert or George Orwell? on Writers Who Will Stand the Test of Time? · · Score: 1

    Frank Herbert - Dune. It didn't win the Hugo Award for nothing.

    George Orwell - 1984. Dated,yes. But also timeless.

  2. Brennan Underwood .plan on Winamp Alpha for Linux · · Score: 1

    To quote: Having read yet more comments, I think you guys are totally missing something:

    Our open-fucking-source SDK. It's 1.5 megabytes of C++ code, zlib-type
    licensed, mostly debugged, pretty portable, and happens to comprise about 90%
    of the *exact same code* we use to build Winamp3 itself.

    Do you see the point now?

    Do I have to fucking spell it out for you?

    Dear /.

    We ported it to Linux because we *like* Linux. Calm down.

    Sincerely,
    Brennan

  3. Re:Incoming! on MSN Buys 500,000 Qwest.Net Customers · · Score: 1

    I like how the M$ bashing has come full circle. First it was, down with Microsoft, now it's, why does the Slashdot community always have to bash Microsoft. More often then not these comments are moderated up. How about just sticking to the facts and not getting hung up on OS biases. But oh yeah, this is a *Linux* site.

  4. Re:The power drain is staggering! on Google Doubles Server Farm · · Score: 2

    The company is moving out of datacenters in the San Francisco Bay and Washington D.C. areas, and consolidating in a new facility in the D.C. area. That means Google is moving from five to four datacenters--this, after adding three datacenters in the past year or so.
    Looks like they've moved to DC. I guess the "crunch" is coming from somewhere else.
