I don't get it. Saying that they're giving away up to $10 for every new recruit, and then going on to comment that they "might actually make a profit"? Unless they start selling their services to businesses, who would willingly pay to have this automate their various money operations, they're not gonna turn a profit right now just by giving cash away.
(Personally, I wish the referral bonus was still $10.)
During the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in Nagano, Japan, musicians from all over the world performed Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" in sync. Granted, they had to use broadcast delays to compensate for the large distances that signals had to travel, but it worked.
Tell reviewers not to benchmark the Operating System in slow machines/play down slow machine stats (because of Linux's strong numbers there), or not to test on 386s
Show me a reviewer that tests on 386's, and I'll show you a person that's been out of a job since 1992.
Quiet, you. As recently as 1995, RAM was $50 per megabyte. I still remember paying $400 for an 8MB module five years ago, and then paying $78 for a 64MB module on Monday.
The themes that were removed used the Apple logo, creating the mistaken impression that they were somehow licensed, approved, or created by Apple. The logo is their trademark; creating something that merely duplicates the graphical widgets of another OS is a different matter.
Actually, it's been public since 1996. It hasn't been doing too bad either, having beaten earnings estimates consistently, turned a profit almost always, and is doing much better than market indices in long-term measures.
The legality of a "semi transparent layer" is questionable. Some time ago, I searched for pages linking to my web page, out of curiosity. I was horrified to see one company (whose name currently escapes me) devote a page of their site to my site, with advertisements and linkage to what they thought were "related" sites, but were really just URL's of their business partners. They did this for untold thousands of sites, most likely just leeched from places like AltaVista and Yahoo!.
Oh, and by the way, they _did_ link to my site, but it appeared in a miniscule JavaScript pop-up window. I hope they got sued out of existence.

Isn't nested mode grand? You can rip off comments posted 10 minutes earlier, tack them onto an even earlier post as a reply, and get marked as "Insightful." Congratulations!
You could even develop a simple standalone app that had plugins for various sites you wanted to do price searches on, and let the users download the plugins.
Don't you remember the bungee-jumping craze of just a few years ago? And now the scooter craze means that idiots everywhere get to drive tiny motorized vehicles on city streets, without wearing helmets or having special training.
Natural selection will weed the morons out. Just be patient.
Well, the NFL Players Association said that Gridiron.com can't use players' names on their web site. Additionally, a site called NFLToday.com (and.net, and.org) was slapped down by the NFL. And the New York Yankees didn't like a man who had newyorkyankees.com.
These and more from Domain Diaries, brought to my attention through Google.
If someone types in "Olympics" in Yahoo, Google, etc., I'd say 10 to 1 that the very first web match is going to be the official site.
Pay up. The first match on Google for "Olympics," not counting the sponsored Internet keyword, is for the Special Olympics. Google ranks the official site, the one mentioned in the keyword, 11th.
On Yahoo, you find a category match first, which I guess qualifies as the real thing.
You're looking at IAS.com, the site Slashdot errantly linked to, which admittedly is pretty bad. The graphics and layout on IAM.com, the site that Razorfish (mis-)designed, are a bit more sophisticated.
Did you read their explanation of why they need this information? Despite all the criticism we give ICANN, they're trying to run this vote in an orderly and legitimate matter. This isn't like a poll that we can fix ("Hey, CNN wants to know whether Windows is better than Linux!"), it might actually have to deal with real relevant issues.
They want your info to make sure that people won't hack up Perl scripts to create 100,000 bogus accounts in an effort to promote what Slashdot thinks is right. Other people _do_ have their own opinions. Being able to audit and verify the vote makes it just a hair more respectable than other Internet surveying projects.
The IBM preinstalled a webbrowser in OS/2. Thats when Netscape said "We can not compleate with a preinstalled browser" and discontinued Netscape for OS/2....
No. Wrong. Earlier builds of OS/2 Warp 4 shipped with an icon on the desktop to download Netscape Navigator to replace the god-awful WebExplorer. As Netscape "improved" and got to the point where you could even get Communicator for OS/2 (which made Communicator for Linux look absolutely rock-solid, BTW) IBM discontinued WebExplorer. Good riddance.
Of course, OS/2 usage has dwindled so much that users are left without a decent web browser, but that's another story.

No. He said "give or take." He linked to Napster, a way to give -- or take -- music files.
You forgot the monitors -- from $499 on up, if you want the all-in-one cable connection.
if you set the date to the distant past, say, the year of 1985
You know you're getting old when your childhood is referred to as "the distant past."
No, I don't even use Apple products. I just enjoy annoying you.
Apple usually covers their jumpers with "warranty void if removed" stickers.
So? When's the last time that Joe Overclocker was able to get a warranty replacement for his fried Celeron?

does Cnet have an IPO coming up?

Whats next? The blind sueing eBay, MSN, AOL, ...
No, that already happened. Last year, no less.

Okay, done. No shit, Sherlock. :)
Good. Public transit. So I can sit in a subway train full of unwashed derelicts and third-world refugees.
Hey, what are you doing posting on Slashdot? Shouldn't you be warming up for the game tonight?
Translation: The A8 is lighter, stronger and safer.
The A8 is also very expensive. Expect to pay at least $60,000 for one, and that's without the ever-so-nice Quattro all-wheel-drive system.
The aluminum frame costs some serious money, plain and simple.

I am proposing a Million Geek March. We will have speakers telling stories of how their lives were destroyed by computers.
And just how do you expect to get a million geeks out of their homes? Do you have any idea how much free beer, pizza, and pr0n you'll need?
