Go ahead and mod me down for this, guess I'm burning Karma today... Anyone besides me getting tired of all the AC bitch posts? I'm not talking about the obligatory, AllYourBaseInSovietRussiaImagineBeowulfClustersOfG oatse.cx posts, I'm talking about all the bitchbitchbitch posts from otherwise possibly intelligent folks who use the AC button to hide behind the I'net's anonymity. Jesus, I thought for a while that/. was somewhat above all that carp. You've got a login/voice...use it, if you know you're going to burn Karma, so what!? It's not red blood cells people. It's honestly gotten to the point where I auto-filter out all the AC's I can, sadly tho', some of them make valid/good posts. It's gotten to the point where I'm ready to see Taco and the Gang (wasn't that the band that went up on the space shuttle recently?) remove the option to post anonymously...it's been abused to the point that it's now useless. No one uses it for good anymore. If you've got something to say, use your login, if you don't want to login/use login, piss off. We don't need nor want you here. MODS: GO AHEAD AND DO YOUR WORST.

So you're saying you've never used a search engine to review parts/accessories prior to purchase? You seem to have missed the point of my post..This is not news...news by definition (according to Merriam Webster) is: Pronunciation: 'nüz, 'nyüz
Function: noun plural but singular in construction
Usage: often attributive
Date: 15th century
1 a : a report of recent events b : previously unknown information
2 a : material reported in a newspaper or news periodical or on a newscast b : matter that is newsworthy
None of the above info conforms to these standards, hence, allowing me to utlize the 'how is this news?' comment. As far as commenting if I don't like something, that's what the comment system is for, it's not intended to be a 'pro-only' forum, read the FAQ on commenting and/or the one for moderating, Slashdot isn't here to promote any specific agenda, it's here to provide an open forum, pro AND con. Your comment is worthless anyway, since you don't even use your login...AC indeed.

Just look under the 'results' file under searches for the aforementioned parts. Seriously tho', I know this'll likely be modded down as flamebait, but I fail to see how this qualifies as 'news'...advertisements yes, news, no.
Hey asshole, you seem to have missed the point. I'm not arguing negligence. I said basically...you fuck up, you pay for it. By your reasoning, no one should be responsible for anything but the most negligent of actions, so I guess if someone rearends you in traffic because they just didn't happen to see you, you don't make them or their insurance pay for the damages, right? Or if someone accidentally runs over a family member of yours, as long as it was an accident I guess it's ok too, right? Like I said, just because it's an accident doesn't absolve you of your responsibility to pay for it. It's liberalistic, no one's responsible as long as they say sorry, attitudes like yours that've caused the bullshit problems today.
Again, at the risk of sounding Trollish....If you're going to put yourself in the position of such responsibility as this (human lives), then if you screw up, you deserve what consequences follow. I'm not screaming for the rack, or to burn them at the stake or anything, and I DO realize that they are, in fact, fallible, but take for example, our privlege of driving...you drive a car, putting yourself in a position of responsibility, you hit someone in said car (with you being at fault, for whatever reason), you deserve to pay for your negligence. Doctor screws up on a much grander scale, he deserves to pay as well. Just because something's an accident, or you're having a bad day, doesn't absolve you of your obligation to pay for your screwups. ahhh, -5 Troll I gues....
someone else sues M$oft for some kind of BBP (Bad Business Practices). Seriously, I'm not attempting to sound like a troll, or be overly inflammatory, but we've seen this over and over. M$oft does something bad, they waste time in court, nothing happens. Yep, they've got to include Java now, but what about all the other points of their recent suits which they've supposedly lost? Nothing's changed, they're still as big a monopoly as before, and do ONLY what they want to do, since they have to answer to ultimately NO ONE. If anyone really wants to affect M$oft, how about this........don't buy their products. A hit in the pocketbook is the only thing they'll ever understand, and that'll never happen until people quit buying their products.

But IMHO the phrase 'Jumped the shark' has, in and of itself, jumped the fucking shark. Go ahead and mod me down, I'm just sick of seeing this phrase.
There's no mention of PC based Halo (bought by the great Satan to promote a substandard console...'nother story tho'), Mac OS9 ports of Half-Life, OSX ports of everything, Linux ports of Starcraft/DiabloII/DeusEx, etc... At the risk of sounding a troll, compared to these titles, I could care less about those listed in the article. Interesting read nonetheless.
There are several significant changes and improvements, not the least is multithreading performance for us SMP users, not to mention the improved filesystem(s) performance/support. Admittedly, not many flashy, shiny new things, but a fair number of performance/real world improvements.
It makes you think to follow the plotlines, there are no 'magic' answers to every problem, the characters have real-life type problems, and the dialog was halfway intelligent. Who'd want to watch that when we've got David Spade?! Seriously though, look how successful lowbrow stuff tends to be, versus 'the other stuff'. How long did Roseanne run?
Think about it. 25 years ago, it was extremely limited. How many people did you know, in 1977 with a net account? I remember coding on a C64 in my cousin's basement for days on end just because we had scrounged enough money to get into town and buy some new books/magazines that helped us overcome some bug. Now, if you're being bitten by the same bug, whaddya do? Hit the net! Some of the responses above, like the sharing of source through GPL wouldn't be as viable an option without the access we have today. The biggest aid to programmers today. Net Access.
While I agree with a couple of the posts above, they're not actually relevant to the story, which, in a nutshell is: 'UV radiation bad to some bacteria'. If they were reporting a modification to the structure of said bacteria, a specific way of mutating said bacteria to be more UV resilient or just a new bacterium more UV resistant than any other, now THAT would be news (ways of modifying humans/others to be less suceptible to the ozone hole for example, etc.) Just reporting that UV + bacteria = dead bacteria doesn't make for news in my opinion.
for the actual costs of the hardware/premises destroyed in the fire, but I didn't see listed in the article if they're holding him liable for the value of data destroyed, or for the costs of rebuilding said data. As far as I'm concerned, the destruction of the dbases here is no different from a cracker maliciously destroying whatever servers he can (adding of course the fact of the hardware/premises). Conversely, could this not be considered a cybercrime of sorts? Thusly being punishable under some of the new laws against such?
Just like we only need one OS, one CPU architecture, one RAM standard...come on, I don't understand all the bashing BOA has received here. Sure, it's not my HTTPd of choice, nor is it for a lot more folks, that doesn't negate the fact that it's more than sufficient, yea, even perfectly tailored for others. The very thing a lot of people here are ranting about is the very thing that makes OSS different from the 'enemy'. So you don't like it, so you don't need it. Someone else does, so let it be.
It's been a long standing standard that one of the most effective antibacterial/antiviral measures one can take today is UV irradiation, it's one of the few things most movies even get correct. Hell, even most of the studies done about UV irradiation on humans in space is inconclusive. Or has all the hype in the past (Anti-Anthrax measures in post offices) been just optimistic public placating?
It just seems to me that every other day we're hearing about some new thoery. I'm all about advancing our knowledge, but it's getting to be repetitive to the point of comedy. DIdn't we go through this whole, 'chaos theory' a few years back? SHOW some progress dammit!
No, they will not. No *nix PPC binaries have been released, nor planned for release. While yes, ATI has figured out there are OS' other than Windows, they've yet to realize there are different architectures.
While in theory I agree with the designers of said software being liable for the flaws therein, to what extent are we to pursue them? If I, as a coder in a firm unwilling to compensate me for the time, energy and resources necessary to produce good code, and they push for, and accept badly designed products, am I, as the actual creator to be held liable? Or would it be acceptable to go after the upper management types who accepted said code in the first place? A little perspective needs to be used here before we start screaming for the heads of those responsible for insecure software.
The issue here is not about cybersquatting, nor in the name used for a business, or who is profitting of whose name. The Stones Dick wants the Atlanta Dude to stop using his name in any way associated with publicity! There is no business listed under either name, and the BW website is also a non-issue, sheesh, I haven't seen this much evidence of this many people not reading articles in a long damn time! (Yeah, I know this is redundant, oh well)
