I actually quite like it... Slashdot is just pissed off because it used to be a News Site and now everyone is calling it a Blog:-)
That's completely crazy. A blog is typically just a bunch of links to other sites of interest, with a poorly edited introduction that's usually tainted by unfounded personal opinion. Then there's a spot where people can post their own stupid opinions about that particular blog entry. On Slashdot, on the other hand, you can give them money and you don't have to see ads.
One of the major problems with lagoons like this in the past was the unbearable smell. It sounds funny, but it loses a lot of the humor when your $70k house becomes completely uninhabitable because of the thousands of pounds of crap festering a few miles away. Anybody know if this particular process will eliminate the stench? Or at least shrink the range?

So you walk around naked, in home-made clothes?
Now I'm just stuck trying to figure out how you can walk around naked in home-made clothes. I guess it's philosophical, one of those "we're all naked underneath our clothes" kinds of things.
The main heat venting location on the case (that I've found) is the bottom rear of the machine. This means that if you're sitting down with it on your lap and you're wearing shorts, prolonged use (3+ hours) may result in warming to the point of extreme skin discomfort.
If you're spending a hot summer's day sitting down with your laptop for three uninterrupted hours, you probably weren't using anything down there anyway.
The big worry will be what happens when sco does give up the ghost. Theres alot of people that depend on the software to run their businesses. They had nothing to do with the lawsuit and will be hurt when the message does at last get to the brain of the beast.
Well, judging by how much code Linux has stolen from SCO, it shouldn't be hard for them to switch.
Huh, who'da thunk it. I expected MS to buy the Eolas patent, or Eolas itself if necessary, and turn the patent against AOL/Netscape, Opera, and the rest of their competition. They're actually not being vicious bastards in this one...
Right now, Bill Gates is smacking himself on the forehead.
I'll get modded flamebait, but big deal. Its like buying a PS2 because you want to play Zelda the Wind Waker.
Well, to be honest, this post pretty much *is* flamebait. Are you this critical of Linux users who run WINE? Windows users with Cygwin? Just because the guy needs/wants to run one or two Windows programs, it hardly means he's made the wrong decision.
You're waaay off. It's ironic, really - DeBeers stands to lose a fortune because someone has figured out how to make artificial diamonds. The RIAA, on the other hand, has been making more money than ever after figuring out how to create artificial music.
Not a lot of people know this, but Justin Timberlake was created in a lab.
Notice that the shape of the winning antenna is a pyramid? There are a lot of theories regarding electromagnetism and the pyramid shape, including a bunch on how the ancient egyptians figured out how to utilize these electromagnetic properties, which is (supposedly) why the pyramids were built that way.
If you want to get kooky, it can also point to the extra terrestrial origins of ancient egyptian civilization.
That makes perfect sense! The aliens, feeling like outsiders in this new place, built gigantic 802.11 antennas to download porn and MP3s from their home planet.
If it wasn't for the unacceptably long ping times, they would still be with us today.
As I've learned from Saturday morning television, there has been an answer for this for years. You combine the power of the five rings to form Captain Planet, and he cleans up the nuclear waste and puts the perpetrators in jail. Sheesh, you'd think these so-called "intelligent" scientists could be bothered to turn on the TV every once in an while.
Is anyone here familiar with the MPL enough to give a run-down on how well this will play with Java? Given the fact that Java and the classlibs (as far as I know) are closed-source, does the MPL have any GPL-like clauses about linking to closed-source libraries?
While I'm at it, would it be possible for Sun to contribute a few engineers and integrate this into the Java class libraries? The current HTML component...well...it renders links, I guess, but it would be *great* to have a more capable rendering library.
I ran a business out of my house for several months, but decided it had to end when the police were taking a suspicious look at all the people coming and going, shootings taking place outside, etc. I now rent a room at a Motel 6 under an assumed name and make the crystal meth there. Sure, it's an extra $30 onto my overhead, but in retrospect it's much easier than hauling away hundreds of pounds of incredibly toxic by-product.
Also, don't listen to these guys telling you to register your business with the city, etc. That's just asking for trouble.
Designers of the new Star Wars game initially planned to let players communicate in strange languages that would be translated by other players' computers, he said. But the developers soon realized that cheats would find a way to break into the hidden dictionary, gaining the ability to speak the various languages and negotiate with aliens from other planets - a skill that would normally develop only over time.
Have the LucasArts people seen the new Star Wars movies? The only alien languages would be "Broken English with Asian accent," "Broken English with Jamaican accent," "Broken English with Italian accent"...
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, but subsequent 3.4g batteries cost $30 apiece and can't be recharged.

Yeah, but the video game adaptation of Battleship Potemkin sucked. You could only play as the carriage!

Looks like we all owe Bill Gates an apology. 640K is enough for anybody!
Oh, man - I was wondering why this copy of MikeRoweSoft Windows was so cheap!
I would have tried to check this story out on CNN, but for some reason my genuine Magnetbox TV isn't working.

Maybe I have to hand in my geek membership card, but wearing a computer ranks right up there with wearing a refridgerator.
Absolutely not! You can't have a case of beer on hand at all times when you wear a computer.

It says a great deal about a society that values irrational consumption of alcoholic beverages as a virtue to be sought after.
Oooh, you'll get yours! Crusty old dean!
Anybody want to help me fill this guy's swimming pool with Pop Rocks?
Giving projects you wish to succeed names that invite misspelling isn't a very good idea.
What do you mean? It worked great for Gigli!
I just used LavaRnd's Lotto Number Generator with default values and it returned:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Hey, dammit! How did they know the combination to my luggage?
Stripping SCO support from GCC will only harm SCO's old customers who don't have anything to do with SCO evil.
Both of them?

Yeah, right.
Like I'm gonna take programming tips from someone who starts lists at ONE.
Quickbooks Pro?!?!? iTunes is free!!!!

It's only a matter of time until they start selling this via pop-under ads.
