Oh, wait, it always was about the eyeballs. I remember when you could attract an audience with factual reporting and insightful analysis, based on investigation and jornalistic reporting. Now it's mostly sensationalism and opinion made up like news.
Yep, I'm that old.
You are probably (mis)remembering a mythical golden age of the mid 20th century. Prior to that you had plenty of yellow journalism. After that... Well, we see where we are today. The fact of the matter is that 2011 is not the anomaly; 1950 was.
Many usenet readers provided an astonishing number of features that we have lost in the move to web forums. Maybe something was gained, but much was also lost.
PLONK!!!
Yep, the kids in trade chat have no idea what I mean when I say that prior to adding them to my 'ignore' list.
So, they disabled the preference, but didn't remove it completely? I'm sorry, but that's just not responsible. There are some things which the user should have to do without help. If he wants to open the file, fine, but automatically opening random files that have been downloaded isn't something that should be allowed, with or without the users approval.
Wait, so this week's problem with Macs is that they offer too much control?
Clearly the EPA needs to increase their radiation measuring. The fact that they cannot detect any is proof positive that they aren't trying hard enough.
In some cases it's even easier that typing on a regular keyboard, like when you need to enter something specific such as a number.
And it's not possible to do this with a keyboard?

You started by saying "Everyone doesn't do the same work you do. Some of us for example, like to use two hands to type." and then you proceed to douche it up. Why not stick by your original comment, which is along the lines of "different strokes for different folks"?
Brought to you by Slashdot... The site for free advertisement disguised as 'news'.. pretty thin disguise... and remember, there's no such thing as bad publicity, as long as they spell the name right
They don't even need to do that as long as the link works.

Shit, back in the day, I could buy eight tapes, 10 LP's, or 12 8-tracks for just one penny!
And in 1998, it looks as though the toilet is completely absent, only to return in 2006.
That was the timeframe when some of the Brady children lived there.
Also Megan Fox is no longer welcome.
It's the thumbs, isn't it?
You can toss the bookmark to this link, because you won't need it.
For a mere $8.5B, wouldn't Apple have run up the bidding to protect themselves?
Probably because if Apple eliminated FaceTime tomorrow, it wouldn't barely make a dent in iPhone sales.
The only prediction you make that seems likely is that WinPhone gets a skype client.
Still, you could be right. Stranger/dumber things have happened before.
"News has become about trolling for eyeballs."
Let's not lose sight of that.

The French.
Then shouldn't it be 'le pwned'?
Since this is slashdot, he probably bought her from the philippines or eastern europe.
That's where realdolls ships from?

I'm not amazed at the Vic-20 working; I'm amazed that the tapes haven't gotten munged over the years.

look what happened here in the 1860s.
Check out the EU from 1900-1950 for comparison.

x^n+y^n = z^n solve for n>2 where x,y, z, and n are positive integers - or prove the problem has no solution.
The solution is easy. But the only thing I had to write it on was the margin of this piece of paper, and I ran out of room.
I think this might be the best take on this news I've read yet.
So you saying that Intel takes a little less margin to help them jump back into the non-x86 world?
Was he talking about that Xerox Star, or some of the tech and ideas underpinning the Xerox Star that Apple licensed from them?
What?
I thought it was named after a '40s straight-man.
What's on second.
I'm not asking you who's on second!
No, who's on first.
I don't know.
The answer to that is simply, the same reason George W. Bush didn't grab an M-16 and head to Fallujah.
Osama was also a chickenhawk draft dodger?
Everyone is also assuming it isn't written on a piece of paper under his mousepad or keyboard. Or on a sticky on the monitor.
I suspect the half mute is in case the commercials are too loud, but you still kinda want to hear them.
Wait, China is communist now? When did that happen?
What?
I thought it was named after a '40s straight-man.
What's on second.
Hardly "popular". Apple IIe sold what? 500,000 units? Both Atari and Commodore and even the ugly green monochrome IBM PC outsold it.
Troll, troll, troll. ~1,000,000 units in 1984 alone.
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these....
Hehe.
