I have never heard any news org discuss the fact that the US went to war with a peace-time military. the Lack of progress in Iraq is due to lack of military manpower. I believe that President Bush went to war with an army meant to keep the peace. This a catastrophic failure of leadership. Since the population would not tolerate a draft we should not have gone to war undermanned.
Of course, the President knows for sure that God only put life on earth about 5000 years ago. Going to Mars is a waste of money. Even you can see it is much more important to send money to Africa to inform the AIDS infested people there that using condoms is a sin.
The reason why Circuit City stores here in NY can't compete against Best Buy, Kmart and Walmart is so simple that if they can't figure it out they deserve to die off. At every CC store around here the checkout line and customer service line are merged into the same area where it is a confusing free for all when trying to buy something.
This sounds quite alarming. However, this started 12 or so years ago when Windows 95 came out. Back then Microsoft made a concerted effort to do away with DOS or at least make it less visible. The reason they did this was because DOS was a gateway to programming. With DOS, Microsoft inadvertantly created a generation of command line experts. They intentionally phased out DOS to dumb down the users. There are other reasons for doing away with DOS of course, but this did happen. Anyone still remember memory management commands or pkunzip!

If only the rest of the world had the lack of national barriers like those in the scientific community.
Shameless self-promoting, the author benefits from this story but tries to look unshameful by admitted the ugly facts. Slashdot is officialy over. Let the comical responces begin.
Yes this is absurd. Do not get too upset, for in two years this kind of insanity will all be over regardless of witch party gets the whitehouse in '08.
he failed to explain that the problem was they should have multiplied the kilobytes by.00002 instead of.002, he never made that clear. Not that he is to blame for anything that happened here.
The entity HP is a company name employing thousands selling billions. The guilty party is a fired executive and a few fired co-horts. Should the Company name suffer forever because one of the many people to hold a certain position was a crackpot? The company name HP can not be corrupt because it is just a name. Oh yeah, and the illuminati is a farce.
I have read and heard much about the conspiracy of electronic vote tampering. Many people claim Diebold and other companies could and would change election outcomes. The fact that it is even remotely possible, for a company to change the outcome of an election, should render the whole electronic voting sector obsolete and illegal. Why it isn't is beyond reason.
What I meant for you less intelligent folx, People get frozen that would have died prolonging the life of millions of people hence a higher population. Shame on your lack of deduction skill.
Being a longtime PC freak and MCSE, the thing that irritates me most about Microsoft is thier blatant attempt to dumb down the software in an attempt to avoid turning another generation of young people into software novices.
After all the Commodores and Ataris went away most of us gravitated towards the 286's and 386's. In the early days of Windows you could manipulate the hell out of DOS before Windows started loading. Back then you needed to use the command line to insert certain programs into different sections of memory in order for them to work correctly or at all. You had to do this as a regular end user if you wanted to run the latest software or games. The instruction manuals for even the lamest games had you doing this command line stuff. After a while the command line functions became more interesting than the games or software. This lead to hundreds of thousand of PC Novices many who became experts. Many of the Open Source Pioneers fall into this catagory.
Then came Windows 95, Windows 98.. and so on. Each with less and less DOS commands. Then 2000 Pro and XP. Now thier is no need for command line functions. No teenagers at home learning about the command line. Here we have a documented calculated agenda by Microsoft to market an OS that can't be manipulated much by anyone, creating generations of PC illiterates who dont know the different between RAM and hard drive space. Make no mistake about it. This was a calculated deicision by Microsoft executives in the mid 90's.
Who are they to decide the level of PC expertise of our society in the name of a better bottom line.
I ran a BBS on a commodore 64 with 4 1541's (which I had to crack open and solder to change the drive number) and an SFD drive which held an amazing 4066 blocks! I ran the BBS with C-Net software. All this and more before I was 15.. those were the days.
P.S. I had to Phreak with MCI codes to get the best cracked games from across the country to lure in users.

All Bush plans will be irrelevant exactly one year from today.

It is the wrong spelling, but since I have been using it since 1984 I think it will pass newbie. L8r.
Everyone here knows that Google is the wrong spelling for googol 10x100 power right?

It's a good thing it might be profitable, otherwise we would have to forget about the idea forever.

Whats to stop the America's from drilling through the planet to tap the water, or Europeans from slant drilling?
You relize that this means that the goals of the militant islmists are being met, therfore proving that terrorism works.

The typical Fanboy usually has some level of OCD and that needs to be addressed.
Sounds like a brilliant idea to increase stock portfolio 20 fold. And Slashdot bought into it. Maybe they understand the concept of shorting.

In other related news. the only way to get a Nintendo Wii at this time, is to pay 70-120% more than retail on ebay.

Just great. Something else to make the coming high world population epidemic worse.
He killed the guy in real life you moron.
Anyone who has the capacity to murder a gamer over an in-game item could be expected to show similar strange behavior in real life situations.
