Maybe the tactic is to publicize the forums enough so that all the slackware trolls go back to the forums and stop spreading their BS all over the internet.
Get your head out of the sand. The aussie spirit isn't exactly laughing it up at the moment. 400 homes are gone, 4 people are dead. We are in the worst drought in a century, and this isn't the first or last bushfire that has gone through Australia this season. In fact, this fire has absolutely NOTHING on the fires last month which virtually circled the entire suburban area of Sydney and even took out houses in the outer suburbs.
I have no problem with the record/movie companies going after the users. Isn't that what the slashdot crowd has been crying all along? Don't go after the networks, go after the users? Hell, when people stop crowding my isp with nothing but illegal traffic, maybe my connection won't run like a pig?
What I do have a problem with is a bunch of arrogant american fuckwits, obviously blinded by the sunshine that comes out of their mate's asses, who think they have the right to force THEIR laws on others. Here's an idea assholes, if you're going to tell people in other countries how to run their god damn lives, take 5 minutes, 5 MINUTES to find the relevant australian law to go after them with.
how the hell would you know what they'll vote for? And even if they did just vote for "lousy bugs" first, that's their choice because THEY are the ones paying to get the damn thing out the door.
According to the ads i'm being bombarded with on TV, for each degree (celsius) below 24 degrees, the cost of cooling increases 10%. So if that is correct, setting the aircon to compensate for the hot computers doesn't sound very cheap at all.
Someone could then set up a crond job to "cat/dev/heat >/mnt/toast" every morning.
No, even better, instead of this latest chip, the device could instead use athlons. So instead of doing a cat/dev/heat you just need to flip the power switch.
I pay the equiv of 55 US per month for a 512k ADSL connection with a monthly download cap of 11.5 GB. The minimum contract length I could sign was 6 months.
Welcome to broadband in Australia. If your household can actually get it, it's not even worth getting.
Will slashdot quit being a fucking PR department for microsoft?
I use linux. I couldn't give a shit about windows. It's practically impossible to surf the web for linux related content without having to search through news post after news post of Microsoft crap. Whoopee Doo, direct X 9.0. Wanna put a half page sized ad up for it aswell?
I live a few blocks away from a 54,000 seat football stadium, and AOL sponsored a match. They handed out a cd to every single person in the sellout crowd.
Now, do you want to imagine what my street, front yard, and local shopping mall + car park looked like? Soooo many friggin CD's littered on the ground, it produced a psychedelic effect that crack smoking Taco couldn't possibly imagine in his wildest dreams.

oh wait... dupe
second post!
I really like the way Redhat does it.
They don't bother packaging it, I don't bother downloading it. Perfect.
I have the leadtek geforce 4 ti4600 card. Nice card.
Right this moment the heatsink on the card is on the cooler side of warm to the touch. The PC has been running for about 17 days give or take.
Now what was that crap about a hot stove?
Who will be the first to 100? New York's phone numbers, or car license plates in Europe?

Well, i'd put in a joke about FAB, but that's a brand of washing powder, and well... who gives a fuck about washing powder...

Ya, thanks for the non flash page, now how about the server?
Oh wait it hasn't been cancelled... yet.

Could this be part of the elusive 'dark matter' talked about so much lately?
Yes.
Hey look at me, I provided an answer with absolutely no evidence to back it up, gimme a +1 informative!!
No he should change his name to Mr. Former C.E.O Of MP3.com
He already goes by that name anyway.

/dev/heat you just need to flip the power switch.

*ouch* thank you you've all been wonderful.

Do I now have to duck before a popup window cleans me up?
Apparently you weren't into heavy metal during the 80's.

What were we thinking
I'm thinking something along the lines of Dude... where's my mail?
Yep, the ugly MSN logo sat on my win95 desktop by default. Along with that My Briefcase thing. WTF was that anyway?
Oh you're complaining about AOL cd's are you?
