On the other side, the grouping of many symbols on each key is not better. They might suggest to eliminated lowercase letters to simplify life of capslockers.
So, who downloads porn from HTTP anyways? Are we going to put HTTP and P2P protocols all on the same port, based on content?
I suggest ports for financial news, spam, penis enlarger advertisements, and so on. Yea, really, that's a good solution. Also, I suggest that we put all the sexshops in the same city... that will prevent them from being in other places...
Yea, I do prefer eye-candiness than functionality... who cares about speed and efficiency when you can have 3D-transparency and ultra cool l33t special effects while chatting with your friends!
This is where computing goes (or comes from... backward).
Indeed. Even larger: If I was a shareholder of any company that wants to make money by sueing people I would dump my shares too. I would also find another job... But, that McBribe (Is it a bribe of McDonalds?) must have good friends...
Just a word to say that my main browser is konqueror 3.1.2, I use it everyday, at job, at home, blablabla. It's fast, stable (at least like Mozilla) and does a good overall job. Of course it isn't perfect, but... which one is? Of course, I hear some voices saying that supporting non-standard feature is a plus... but this Redmond voice fades out.
I just spent a minute to quickly read the Linux cons on M$ page... really funny. I understand they won't update it once Linux improves a point, but many things there don't make sense. Of course, Linux doesn't do ASP.NET... nobody at all does:P Seriously, any M$ product should be considered a standard? What are they thinking?
I study in Cumputer Sciences in a North American University, and most of the professors here don't know what an e-mail client is. Then, they tell their graduates students to code stuff they couldn't do themselves. And some most of the graduate students don't really know how to code. Then, these people become project managers. As an undergraduate and employee, I'm afraid about the day I will work for one of these persons...
In fact, it doesn't even look like M$ products... it is a pure Linux/KDE system... nobody should pay for such a system since anyone can install other distros that do the same thing!
Have a webcam well placed and secured, get pictures from it every second and check if the image changed... if it does, check if the amount of dots that changed is large enough to make someone fit. If it does, output some mp3 of an alarm;)
Well, that is interesting. If you can find a mathematical equation which is smaller than the "string" to compress, that would work. However, there will always be strings you can't make equations for... Sometimes, you would need a equation of 128 bits so you would enlarge the file. You could use a mark to say "yes the following is compressed and the equation is x bytes long" or "no, the following x bytes are uncompressed". Maybe you could also use less than 256 mathematical symbols so you can make better equations...
In fact, if this method could work for like 64 bytes on a 1kb file and that the method is applied to a lot of files, the size of the compressor (which could be huge, because it tests mathematical equations) could be won by the reduction of all those files.
But, again, this method will not ALWAYS work... so there will be a time when a given file can't be compressed anymore.

Problem with Slashdot comments is like code comments... too few is bad, too much is bad. // This line outputs the result
How many times can we see a line like this... that's just writing comments without any reason.
I prefer function header comments which describe what the piece of code as whole does. Not everyline, as teachers say it should be done.

Will this bring peace to earth? It's just a gaming console, nothing constructive there.
This is exactly what I believe should be done: fork. It's open source we are talking about. The domain name doesn't matter; the content does.
Did they buy the source code from google (google.com/ig) ? Google could even sue them over the way it works ;-)

They're the ones who place their desire for fun ahead of everyone on earth's desire for peace and the right to privacy.
Who wants peace? Nobody, or else we would act consequently, which we don't, as a world.
r00t r0cks!
It would cost less and bring the same result... Ask people to undress, put the clothes on the tray and then dress again after the scan.
Low cost and... less X-ray radiations!
This is a funny one. Now, maybe Microsoft should buy Sun... ;-)
Actually, porting the HTML engine doesn't mean porting the browser. And cross-platform doesn't imply Windows... it might be *nix.

I'm not even surprised, but I'd like to know where, so I could show it to all my students !
Indeed, Minix was created by Andrew Tanenbaum as a way to teach Unix to his students...
The solution would be SELL the OS and give Office... and make office require the last OS version.

I never qualified Wile E. Coyote as a geek, but yes, in fact, he was a geek... and he wasn't able to debug his stuff ;)
No, in fact, it has been clear for a while that Crusoes were made for embedded... they just didn't say it before.
look for cuties ;)
