If someone could give me just give me one good example of this. Are we talking "netcentric" software and API's? Are we talking proprietary or open source? Are we talking Google OS? I'm sure we/they are not talking about Plan 9 (which still needs a floppy disk to install), so what are we talking about?
Ever think of incentive programs to encourage more people to edit more often? I gather that regularly contributing, core editors are few and far in-between, and with so many topics to be either cleaned up and even created, wouldn't that be a priority?
Both numbers could be right. Who is to say God didn't implement a "beta" period 650 million years ago when prehistoric animals and neanderthal man roamed the earth - before Adam and Eve were created. Who says God didn't use both the mechanism of evolution and Dawinsism as well as divine intervention as described in the Bible.
I do know that God would never break a law of the universe to enact change. Everything has a scientific basis (which is why we have science to begin with, to explain how God did it).
But I find the sim games are pretty timeless too (The Sims, Sim City). One game I wish I still had was Star Control II for the 3DO... man was that game addictive!
It's the Slashvertisments that has really lowered my opinion of Slashdot, you know, garbage like the XBox watercooling device as shown on Hexus gaming and the **Beatles_Beatles** nonsense. There's already enough ads on the site quite frankly. If you're trying to wring even more revenue out of the site, consider making a advertising section that readers can filter out (or maybe leave that option only open to subscribers) but don't try and sneak that crap by us. It's depressing when my favorite website tries to pull a fast one on it's readers.
My advice to you CmdrTaco is to forget about Digg or MetaFilter (they'll never catch up to you) and focus on integrity of the writing and information.
Grub and Lilo need to supply an remove feature at the initial bootload prompt or os selection splash screen so to easily remove the bootloader from the mbr when it's no longer needed, because unless you have a windows rescue disk (which I don't have, I don't even have a working floppy drive), and type "fdisk/mbr", you're permantly stuck with Linux.
This happened when I removed Ubuntu from my daughters computer and tried to install a Windows clone called ReactOS. To rid Grub from the mbr, I've tried reinstalling Linux and moving the bootloader to the front of the partition, I've tried using Partition magic and deleting the partitions and formating the drive, I've tried using Redhat's fdisk and I've tried standing on my head spitting wooden nickles, and nothing worked at removing grub. Frustrating thing is other operating systems won't remove it when they're installed on the drive either. I'm about ready to bust out a big magnet and really erase the drive.
Linux needs to makes it as easy to remove these bootloaders as it is to install them.
It says on the front page HEXUS.gaming is UK's leading gaming website, but after appraising the articles and layout of the website, it can't be so. Don't get me wrong, I'm not about ripping apart other people's work, but this site is about making a dime on cheesy in-text advertising and ugly, blocky ads in place of content./. certainly shouldn't be directing their loyal readership to this internet flotsam when they know full well it's a lame scam.
I seem to be asking myself how long will I put up with this crap before I stop frequenting this site?
Bad idea. I've been in classes where there are hot women and it becomes difficult to even concentrate on the lesson.
WRONG!! Mod parent down!!

That's a lie. I've volunteered at the food bank and they have strict policies about that stuff, and besides, most people who volunteer or work at a food bank really do care about the community.
You should be ashamed for even mentioning such a rare occurance and deterring people from helping others.
I agree with your post and I'll append something very important that you missed: Move and don't tell them. You'll have to change to a new unlisted landline phone number (or get another cell plan), but it'll be like dropping off the face of the planet.
Of course this is if you really don't deserve to get stuck with an outrageous bill (as in the case of being billed $12,000 for stolen phone service). And this is only really an option if you're an apartment dweller or don't mind selling the house. If you're only trying to avoid paying an overdue bill, it's evasive and blatantly dishonest
You would think some of these software/game designers were in bed with hardware companies. Man, did you see the minimum requirements on Quake 4?! "Hello mr.bank officer, can I get a lean on my house? id came out with a new game..."
How does the management of Activa Holdings Inc. sleep at night? There are so many better ways this company could deal with this problem. The company is worried about slander, about their reputation being sullied? They're making themselves look worse and drawing even more attention to their alleged environmental crimes.
I guess the important thing to do is follow up on this story. Write, phone, fax or email the CEO of Activa Group, Werner Brummund at:
Activa Group 735 Bridge Street West Waterloo ON N2V 2H1 Canada
We should spread the word about this, the more people who know about this David and Goliath fight, the better. The worst thing we can do is just shake our heads in pity and forget about this whole thing.
I like the cut of your jib, kid! Retro gaming is all the rave again, and my daughter (age 15, I'm 35) loves to hear me talk about the history of videogames (she's into videogames too). Truth is, those silky smooth sidescrollers on NES and SNES rocked supreme (and still do) and I feel fortunate to have seen the full lifespan of videogames thus far.
I'm not quite sure why your post made me feel so good, but it did. Thanks!
Why wouldn't Apple make OSX work for generic x86 hardware? They want to sell operating systems, right? They see how much money MS is making with Windows, and they want a piece of the action.
Even if Dell was to sell cheap Apple clones in x86 architecture, there's still a market for Apple to sell high end "genuine Mac" products. Best of all, Dell would be pushing Mac OSX licences, so even if it's not Apple hardware, it's still Apple software going out the door.
Maybe I'm not seeing the whole picture, but for the x86 version of Mac OSX to work only with Apple authorised hardware seems too confining for an operating system superior to Windows and capable of eating Microsoft's lunch.

Time is a local geometric distinction in spacetime? I thought time is money!
Who knew?
Since omega 3 fatty acids are a significant structural component of the retina, would a long term diet rich in omega 3 thwart such iridology tests?

Web 2.0 reminds me of the XBox 360, a little bit better and a whole lotta hype.
Suffice to say it worked like a beaut. ReactOS is now installed on my system!
Thank you!
I definetely feel like a noob. I was hardcore into Linux about 5 years ago, but after my divorce, I never again got into computers in any serious way.
/. everyday tho!
Still read
Keep in mind my daughters computer is a PII 350. I have a copy of XP Pro but it won't even initialize (might be the disc or the computer).
Maybe it's time I get her a new computer.
Error 27: Unrecognised command. That's what I get when I tried the uninstall command at the grub> prompt.

I'll just refuse to merge, and laugh in their faces derisively when they whine plaintively at me
I had to chuckle when I read that. Even when Linus is trying to be cruel, he still comes off as charming and agreeable.
