Congratulations, you were successfully chosen as the first test candidate for our new invention, the Internet Idiot Face Smash Master 3000 (TM)! Testing will commence immediately!
When the launch of the new "slashdottit!" or should I say "slashdot tit!", does this mean we can all expect a "slashdot tit!" posted to our residence for the second half of the/. upgrade? This in reference to an input device that makes use of the new features, was it not?
This is not always true, plus it allows for some people to get their hands into the project that have no business writing code in the first place.
There is one other thing most open source projects lack, a solid direction of where it is going, and a timeline of goals to get there. Sure you can write the perfect application to do a specific task, but if you take too long getting there someone else is going to do it first, and charge money for theirs. If you want or need it now, you will end up paying for it one way or another.
With the rate some people upgrade their desktop I predict Windows Vista will still be the highest used OS in 10 years from now, I mean how many people do you know that are still running Windows 98? I know quite a few myself.
It still has a long way to go, over the last weekend I spent several hours trying to recover data from a backup (mysqldump) because of dataloss due to mysql database corruption on server version 4.0.20.
Sure it seems ok if you want to run a small, fast, dynamic website that doesn't contain any real valueable data.
For serious data needs, in my projects I'll choose Sql-Server over mysql any day of every week. I'm not saying Sql-server is the best choice, but its ahead of mysql when it comes to data integrity.
...but without the applications I need and use today it will either remain the OS of tomorrow, or never get off the ground.
Simple logic here folks, if I can get to work driving my car, why should I ride the bus which is more environmental friendly when it only goes half way to my destination?
Corporations run the government, why because they have money.
Isn't sad that what "We the People" built for "We the People" isn't being used for the benefit of "We the People" but instead the benefit of greedy executives at corporations who want to control "We the People" and have bought out the majority of the government that "We the People" voted in.
Please I'm begging you, let me die before the day I can't take a piss without paying piss tax!
Slashdot Mirror
I live in an expensive condo complex and haven't seen a WEP network in the premise for a very long time, hence my original post.
Hasn't most everyone moved to WPA-PSK by now?
Beam me up Scotty, now beam down my pants...
Que more treky jokes!
You must use I.E., you will use I.E., there is nothing but I.E..
Cue the new posting standards adopted from digg:
Your IQ must be below 5 to proceed posting.
Shh! They haven't discovered that feature in the spacecraft they stole from us in Roswell, back in '47.

MEDIC! Prepare the defibrillator...we're losing this one!
Decades? You thieving little techno-whore, this technology has been in my spaceship since long before the Earth came about.

This is practically a word-for-word dupe of a /. posting from December 11th 2006
You must be new here...they usually wait less than 4 days to dupe it.
truly this article will be the most obvious article of the millenium.
You must be new here!
It makes my laptop run hot enough to cook hotcakes on (something XP didn't do), does that count?

This should probably be modded down...

Standardize on one format or another so we don't have to buy a new TiVo like device every 6-18 months?
but I can't seem to remember anything worth looking at that requires flash on the internet.
