i don't know why everyone derides the hitchhikers guide movie, its not like any of the cannon versions of hitchhiker even agree on anything other than names anyway, the records were different from the radio show, the radio show was different from the game, the game was different from the tv show. the only two version that were the same were the radio show and the published radio transcripts. hell adams wrote several the book the radio show and the record versions and none of them match so why should we care about the movie being different?
yes the book was better by miles but isn't always?
i heard that they are considering allowing DOTanything. this could wreak havoc with the domain name service and the entire flow of the Internet for that matter.
Hackerdom is still predominantly male. However, the percentage of women is clearly higher than the low-single-digit range typical for technical professions, and female hackers are generally respected and dealt with as equals.
In the U.S., hackerdom is predominantly Caucasian with strong minorities of Jews (East Coast) and Orientals (West Coast). The Jewish contingent has exerted a particularly pervasive cultural influence (see Food, above, and note that several common jargon terms are obviously mutated Yiddish).
The ethnic distribution of hackers is understood by them to be a function of which ethnic groups tend to seek and value education. Racial and ethnic prejudice is notably uncommon and tends to be met with freezing contempt.
When asked, hackers often ascribe their culture's gender- and color-blindness to a positive effect of text-only network channels, and this is doubtless a powerful influence. Also, the ties many hackers have to AI research and SF literature may have helped them to develop an idea of personhood that is inclusive rather than exclusive — after all, if one's imagination readily grants full human rights to future AI programs, robots, dolphins, and extraterrestrial aliens, mere color and gender can't seem very important any more."

yes thinkgeek owns both slashdot and sourceforge, the three of which together are the most frequented geek sites. thus thinkgeek management is simply trying to tie them together more tightly that is why we had an article on bullet proof clipboard that is oddly enough available on thinkgeek a couple days ago.
i would mod you up if i could. the killing of the shuttles was needed but killing orion/aries program was stupid as hell. it is that kind of shortsightedness that is killing American science .
"The music industry consists of musicians and they won't deal with google unless they want to."
no not really, the artists are not the ones in control of the industry, the labels are in control and they are run buy businessmen not musicians. If it were run by musicians the artist would actually make money. the only musicians who make money are the top few mega stars gaga, bono, etc, most are gypped by the industry because the labels can bs them. the mega stars only make money because the labels are afraid that they will switch to one of there competitors.
in other news hell has frozen over and Satan is skating to work. Not that i want apple to rule the mobile world i really think they do control the mindshare right now.
you could use Gwibber it has a nice interface and it can aggregate from multiple account from multiple sites facebook twitter, Flickr, Digg, freindfeed, Statusnet, Identi.ca, qaiku, i havent check the latest reallese but it might work with google+ but i don't know. it works for linux so it could probably be compiled on mac or bsd but idk about that never tried
well as for his existence that is an accepted fact even among most atheists and most everyone in the archaeological community, in fact there is more contemporary documentation of his existence than there is for plato yet no one questions his existence. if you need an example of such documentation look up Josephus an ancient non-christian non-jewish roman historian. admittedly i am not talking about his deity only the existence of a man named Jesus from Nazareth executed by the roman ect. his deity is still debated and up to you to deside.
i wouldn't count it out of quantum computing, i mean we have no clue how it will really work out entirely until we have a quantum chip that are actually useful. i would not be surprised if it were to be ported to a quantum architecture fairly early on along with quantum c.
sure we all know that microsoft wants to enable you and has no selfish motivation to use this against you like by saying you do not own a file that they do, no they wouldn't make you buy there software to view your own data, or use it to make stronger drm. Microsoft is just a benevolent force for good really really it is.
you have obviously never been around children the day after Halloween, Easter, or Valentines day, try it some time will will quickly learn how wrong you are.
Linux has ousted home grown os's in the embedded market, dumbphones, tv's, thermostats, cars, toys, gps's, etc. android/Linux is is the process of of displacing or at least co-dominating with apple in the smartphone-tablet world. i know it isn't a consumer market but it has nearly completely dominated the it world, nearly killing commercial Unix's, bsds, openvms etc. and it rules the cloud, both as and/or part of the host, and as the guest system (Linux+xen, Linux+kvm, Vmware[as the boot-loader and controller for the vmware kernel.], oracle unbreakable Linux+oracle cloud, and amazon e2 cloud is rum on Linux with many of the guest OS being Linux. really the only place it hasn't dominated is in the fat client home and business desktop. So i wouldn't count ubuntu out yet.
halo 2 doesn't run on xp because Microsoft put a os check in it to make sure that it was on vista or newer, there is a hack install halo 2 on xp and after the install guess what it runes flawlessly, and as for Internet explorder 9 who really gives a sh!7 about the big blue E anyway, and again the reason it wont run on xp is probably just because Microsoft is trying to kill xp.
you have to remember this is slashdot. to this crowd myself included a phone i can write/execute shell scrips on is going to be a definite plus especially if it is for all intents and purposes going to be a body part, hell i would want to get the most functionality in that thing possible, i would see if they could add a couple usb port to it. of course that would bring a whole new meaning to thumb drive.
also it could be argued that is is probably not your typical smartphone shopper

i've never had a problem with tor, other than it being a bit slow, and i have been running it regularly for a good while now.
i am going to have nightmares for months now of Ashton Kutcher as the Dr. although Charlie Sheen could easily play the master. :-P

hello mr stallmen
i would mod you up if i had the points
you are about to be sued by apple for use of "app" and "store" in the same sentence with out the words apple, ios, mac, or itunes fallowed by a (TM).
exactly this is just the test so that they can do it in 2012 with out flaw
will this be available up stream for oh say Ubuntu or will i have to switch distro? perhaps there could even be a unity variant.
