you just pinpointed why these batteries will never reach market... because they last too long. There's no profit in something that doesn't break and doesn't need to be renewed.
Is stating the obvious truth considered trolling now? What should it have said? "Cataloging and indexing the thousands of movie trailers, free indie music tracks, and software demos and other files for download..." more to your liking?
Adequate is a good enough reason for me to switch... which is why I did. Why would I purchase MS Office or any other for pay alternative when I could get something that pretty much does the same things that I need Office for... I don't need the little doo-dads and extras that are probably built into Office that I don't use or even know about. Free is a good enough reason.
soon, your poor online student avatar will be paying fake online money so that he can play a MMORPG of his own where such a stifling class system doesn't exist.
Well, I for one welcome our new giant polymer bag wearing amoeba overlords...
Anyway, to keep this semi-on-topic. Why is every move that George Lucas makes instantly jumped on as a bad one. The story link is to a friggin CONCEPT painting of a Mon Calamari dancer... After the musical number that Lucas added in return of the Jedi, why is anyone a)surprised and b)upset? Is making a sexy female version of Admiral Ackbar somehow a breach of contract of the Star Wars canon? I seem to recall a bunch of sexy aliens in the original trilogy...
I usually don't read the story, but read the comments. While Slashdot sucks, there's usually a bunch of people who actually know what the story is talking about and will post the explanation and their opinions... Which is what I come for.
is the amount of data points doubling between the time of the article being posted and the time your your comment was posted due to Moore's Law? It's NOT DEAD!!!
The difference is between corporations and the little man. I think there is a difference between a big conglomerate corporations trying to sue some 15 year old into oblivion because he downloaded a song by the band-of-the-week, compared to a couple of guys getting together to make an open source product and then some evil company coming in and stealing that product. Any time it's evil corporation against little man, people (especially Slashdot) will root for the little man. I believe that's rightly so, but that argument is for another post.
Why is that marked +4 interesting? Do you hold the tripod in your hands and move it around to make steady moving shots? Because that's what a steadycam does.
This is terrific! In the future, companies won't even ask you to pick a gift for your loved ones, they will just automatically charge your card for an item that the database assumes your loved one wants and just sends it to them. You don't even have to be a part of the process anymore, let alone spend time getting to know your loved ones and what they want. Woohoo!
What is this Linux software you speak of? Does it run on Windows?
Just a joke, but there's a point in there somewhere. While Linux is probably the most important software suite, OO.o is directly competing with Microsoft on Microsoft's own turf (Windows desktop). The chances of Linux overtaking the OS market and millions of Joe Average users installing a different OS are slim. Them installing OO instead of Word is a different story, though.
You know, I'm also unsure of what exactly Usenet is but I believe it's a forum protocol, sort of in the same vein as http. Usenet, though, has been deteriorating in value and users as it's function has been overtaken by websites with their own forums (ie: Slashdot) and blogs, and such. Sorry if I'm mistaken in my assessment, I'm new here.
Personally I'd like to believe that we're more intelligent than a virus cell, but all evidence seems against it.
Of course we're more intelligent than virus cells. Do virus cells fall in love? Do virus cells create art? Do virus cells elect other virus cells? Do those elected virus cells set up large scale attacks and wars on other parts of the body inhabited by virus cells of slightly different membrane color, in order to get the other body part's natural resources all the while lying to their own body part's virus cells to make up excuses for the needless virus bloodshed? Do virus cells post on slashdot?... Well, forget about that last one as a sign of intelligence.

If you read the article, they already did line the inside with tinfoil... They also use tinfoil blankets. These people are nuts.

Were you talking about the fan film or the original Star Wars?
Or in space, where they would have had to call it a zero G-spot
cell phone, it rings; like, as in ringing. You know, the sound a bell makes.

I don't know why you think it's a sign of the times that the media is using synonyms.

Then what do you use the z for?

It wasn't cancelled, it was just outsourced to India.

eh, I doubt Lucas likes his own films enough to back them up on this device :)

What about the sorta official Nintendo school DigiPen? Nintendo has a pretty close tie to that school and hires from there all the time.
