The procreation rate of any techie is bad enough let alone the Mainframe techie!? Women it's time to do your part! -Jason P.S. If this is some way for dipfan to get a girlfriend then good luck man! never give up, never surender!
how many versions of Java re tehre?
How many verison sof Lisp are there?
Ever try to write a Lisp program that could runb in all implementations of Lisp.
How about teh fact that Lisp goes crazy
and trying toi keep track of all those
Now did you say you program in Lisp, or with a lisp? Hehe, like I'm any better:P

I held my tongue when Sonic appeared on a Nintendo console, but Squarsoft and Enix in the same bed!? What's next, Cats and Dogs sleeping together!? That's it! I'm going to lock my self in my room with nothing but Jolt Cola, my NES and Genesis and a stack of games and a pile of old EGM and Nintendo Power mags and not talk to ANYONE until they reinstate the 8Bit/16Bit console wars!:P -Jason
Or you can install apache on it and serve webpages. It'll still be more stable than IIS. I don't know, a MP3 Player AND a web server? That kind of stuff puts you on the top of the RIAA hit list:P -Jason
In the Apple House: You would always be better than your neighbors.
In the Sun House: You would always be smarter than your neighbors.
In the Novel House: Neighbors?
In the Linux House: You have to rebuild it from scratch every few months but at least you got 45,312 people who will help you out (or at least call you a newbe until you read up enough to build it your self)
In the Minux House: You wouldn't have one big house to hold everything but instead many smaller separate houses, one for each purpose. -Jason

No, it's not a typo, it's ment to read aloud to sound like a lisp, basically it's how slashdot editors talk after being kicked in teeth so many times for typos!:P -Jason
No no no, come on people! 32k games, you know like Snake, Tetris(with ASCI blocks) simple versions of Zork. Now why a system that is more powerful than any current system would be nessasary for a 32k game is beyond me but then I'm not in marketing;P -Jason
With these screens ability to save power if less information changes maybe this will bring about a retro-revolution of cleaner simpler displays. I for one (being a computer user since MS DOS 5.0, yeah I know around here that's young) really enjoyed the simple low color depth interfaces of old graphical applications (Remember 3D Studio R3? No not 3D Studio MAX, but the original DOS version). These applications pushed the available architecture as far and as fast as they could. Then suddenly CPU cycles became massively abundant (FPS freaks will disagree but come on, how many GHz or even MHz do you need to write a essay) and interfaces became cluttered, background images for dialogue boxes and shiny glowing graphical buttons for each individual task started popping up all over that place. I know, I know, there where bad applications back then, but the landscape seemed more abundant with good applications. Well I should quit typing before I sound like a complete raving old fart ("back when I was a kid..." ect ect)... to late. -Jason
I've wondered myself why there couldn't be a set of pre-installed dictionaries for general web content
Oh I get it, so instead of transmitting the text "Laughing Out Loud" a "smart" browser will interpret "LOL" as the same thing. Shoot if you just compress the phrases "In Soviet Russia", "All your Base Are Belong To Us" and "3. Profit!" you can quadruple Slashdot Surfing Speed easily!:P -Jason
Just wait, if mp3s make "exact digital copies" of music there's already someone in the company running in circles about an "exact copy" of a CD, album cover and all.
Screw making copies of the music, with this we could make copies of the ARTISTS!!! Stuff like that would make the RIAA freak out!:P -Jason

At last a legitimate reason NOT to spell check SlashPosts, this would make anagrams easy you just add or omit the letters necessary!

All your anagrams are belong to us!
