He didn't praise the Unabomber, he said that as much as he hated to admit, the Unabomber raised some valid concerns. I seem to recall that he also called him criminally insane.
Worth noting that a friend of Bill Joy was maimed by one of the Unabombers bombs.
Just because a person is a nutcase doesn't mean that all their ideas are to be instantly dismissed.
The poster doesn't mention whether the return is because of an unfit product, or just changed his mind.
I suspect the latter, and you can see Apple's point. He gets it and doesn't like it, sends it back, and they have to pull out the RAM, extra HDs - a giant pain in the arse. Why should they?
If it was broken on the other hand and they refuse to take it back, I'd have an issue, but I'm sure there are consumer laws in the US to protect the consumer from manufacturers selling unfit goods.
I had it going on an Amiga emu a few years back, but it was too crash prone to play. This game got me interested in computers, so i owe it a lot. Plus hundreds of fun hours working out the strange things about that game.
Aliens taking over the telephone company, monorail on mars, two headed squirrels...sweet.
A few german boys are doing Zak 2 as a fun project - very much looking forward to sinking myself into this game.
I still have my marathon infinity CD here, long after that 5400 of mine outlived it's usefulness.
I can't remember the name, but one of the mods for infinity is - to this day - the only game that made me jump. Forgot to check a stairway for badguys, turned around to go back and the prick was standing there behind me.
Suffice to say, I emptied all my ammo into his carcass.
There's not really a lot in this article to "read or discuss" now is there?
And that's the point. Discussing drivers for a 10 y.o. ethernet card, for a 10y.o computer, is not interesting. Nobody cares. Nobody gains anything from the answer to the submitters's question.
Ask slashdot should not become a friggin help desk for every monkey that comes along.
I was checking out one day after doing a little shopping and the POS unit crashed. It was a pretty touchy-feely system with each item scanned bringing up a picture of the item.
Then zzpt - win 2k blue screen. Had to wait for the tech to come and reboot the system before i could pay.
This was one of the biggest grocery chains in Australia. Cheers Bill.

Look at how much of a Linux distro is done in Australia?
:)
Did you look at who the parent poster is?
I think Rusty knows exactly how much of the kernel is done is Australia
Do all that, and then smash it with a hammer into bit size pieces. And then throw those pieces to the bottom of various oceans.
Then you are safe...maybe.

I've been using the ATOs 'Electronic Commerce Interface' for a while. This is for electronic submission of BAS statements and various other forms.
So, the ATO have been doing Java for a while, however, their Java efforts make their Windows efforts look good.
To be honest, I can't see why they just can't have web based forms.
Try google for "Don Fulci" or "Don Fulci headhunter" . A lot more hits.
Hello down there. Are you okay? Excuse me. Bear... BEAR FUCKER. DO YOU NEED ASSISTANCE?
Bugger Simpsons quotes, Super Trooper quotes are most appropriate this time.
Sorry, links to Bugzilla from Slashdot are disabled.
I get the feeling they've been slashdotted before. Once bitten, twice shy...
I hear IT has a killer suicide rate...
I'd bet it's proportional to Microsoft product use too.
That text is for "if you are not satisfied".

Tell your grandfather to get his own pr0n.
I'd call that a clusterfuck.
Furthermore, old people should be studied to determine wich nutrients they contain that might be extracted for our benefit...
Here comes the Soylent Green...
Zak McCracken was friggin brilliant.

But it doesn't count the failure of Beagle 2...
Maybe Wind River will not be so quick to brag now :)
At a guess, i'd say that it's more of a risk to drive off another side. It would require manouvering and may get tangled or stuck on something.
I reckon they're just playing it safe.

Or create cold fusion a la Keanu in Chain Reaction - pretty similar method.
