But even a really large company still has a kind of collective personality that it exudes and a large part of the personality both internal and external to Microsoft for many years now is that of a total control freak.
That sounds very cyberpunk. Next thing you know, Microsoft is run by an AI from orbit.
It doesn't look like a normal submission to me. Proper grammer, objective opinion instead of random flames, and bulleted titles to visually seperate paragraphs instead of the shitty formatting job Slashdot forced me to get used to.
I'll pass your feedback to the guys in ad copy writing, thank you. Who would have thought that the rules for advertising in Slashdot are reverse of everwhere else.
With all those Monster and Dice, I thought you were trying to write some kind of Role Playing Character Card joke. You know, something like: Cobol (Dwarf) CSharp (Elf) Java (Hutt) Perl (Squid Troll) RPG (Ent)
Reading about this, some may rethink why they are spending a big part of their lives in a stopped metal cage while sending CO2 to the atmosphere while looking ot other metal cages.
Evaluate what changes could be made to your way of life and the social organization so that you could employ that time on better purposes like parenting your children, hacking, cooking, sleeping or posting to Slashdot. Unless you actually like traffic jams.
Having worked with many Scandanavians, I am truly impressed by their command of English -- many people from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, speak it better than many US people do, and definitely better than people from any other (non-native English speaking) country.
I think the fluency in English for Scandanavians arises from the similarity of English to the Scandavian languages, so picking it up is natural, much more so than other European languages, and of course, better than any non-Western language.
Non-native English speakers spell it "Scandinavia". He he.
Part of me would like a little quiz on the US Constitution when you vote and the vote only counts if you do well enough on it, but that's obviously unconstitional so I wouldn't actually support it.
What about this? Present the test, those who answer it don't know it's unconstitutional. Thus, only thos e who refuse the test are allowed to vote.
If I remember it right, Sendero Luminoso in neighbour Peru killed peasants who had the finger marked with the indelible ink used to avoid repeat voting. And voting was compulsory.
And, in Sierra Leone, the rebels chopped the hands of voters.
A proposal I saw in Slashdot is to have top servers organized by the last letters of the name. So the IP corresponding to 'Slashdot' would be served by the T server, or maybe the 'OT' server. This is very similar to the current country system. There would be a flat namespace. IBM could have jp.ibm and fr.ibm instead of ibm.co.jp and ibm.fr.
There remains to be solved who pays the top servers and how to resolve name conflicts in this flatter system.

I think my desire to see the 1998-99 internet doubles every time I see a story like this.
Just wait until the same story gets posted again.
"If you're not up on your Star Trek, you can forget about getting or keeping a geek dude." At this point, they are just propogating stereotypes.
Yeah, I think I'm not one of the droids she is looking for.

Japan is betting...that the next-generation of high-tech products and computer networks will rely on open-source software.
This reminds me of the Japanese project of "Fifth Generation Computing" in the 80s. AIs, Prolog everywhere,... What resulted of all that?

I didn't know Krushchev was gay.
Don't know, but I saw Brezhnev kissing Honecker.
This reminds me of the "hand on the wall" algorithm to escape certain labyrinths.
XMLTerm mixes the command line and XML hypertext. I find it an instersting concept.
I misread the title in your message as "How can they overclock the emperor?"

How would this work for money bills?
From what I read, the current paper in Euro bills can stand being accidentally left in a pocket while washing clothes, so maybe it's not needed.
Have you thought about changing the URL that you show in Slashdot from UTexas to FindSabrina? That would give much more visibility to the page.

Glancing over, I thought that you were referring to the Democratic Republic of Congo, formerly Zaire.
This 'Democratic' is not from Communism, just some wicked sense of humor.
Yes, I'm on topic.
