Duh! I mean come on, there's no contest between any x86 and say, the PowerPC or Alpha platform. Who needs to be able to compile 8080 code from 1977 on a 1 GHz Williamette. RISC, true RISC is the future, or at least should have been.
The republicans only pass big (big for the rich, not the middle class) tax cuts when they're is a democrat in the white house. They know he'll veto it, but when they have a republican congress and President, they don't do it. Remember "Read my lips no new taxes"?
Not all schools have it that bad. My school has a T1 (T3 soon) and several labs with up to date hardware. The thing is they run Losedows. Well you can't win em all. Knowledgeble staff too, peoples who are actually qualified to teach computers. But we're the exception, not the rule.
This is the lamest thing I've heard of in a long while. Do we have to puy "dot com" on everything on the planet earth? Oh well, maybe I can still be dotorgguy. What exactly is this going to prove? That people will do anything for money? I betcha this guy will crack in 3 months. BTW, this is really old news.
I guess you can say It's a new Hundreds, because we are now in the "twenty hundreds" as opposed to the nineteen hundreds. Worth something.
Sometimes I get these Pounding Headaches, it feels as if my head is in a vice, and usually I find that's exactly the problem. Happy New Hundreds everyone.
What the hell is the Alt-Control-Delete button? Is that some strange euphimism for the big red button President Clinton has on his desk that he uses to nuke the Godless Ruskies? Is this a thinly veiled threat from the democrats who are planning to shutdown -r now the USA? My god, what could they be up to? Perhaps they plan on logging into America's root! Or maybe President Gore will fsck America and send all the homeless into concentration camps! The possibilites are horrifyingly endless!
You folks on the Slashdot there best watch yourselves.. I got patents pending for the microprocessor, the hydrogen atom, condensation, the food chain, the bubonic plague, algebra, the hamburger, the human brain, sex, the automobile, green eyes, extraterrestrials, the motion picture camera, hot dogs, chrome, the cumbustion engine, the planet Mars, the paper clip, Henry Kissinger, the Roman Alphabet, nude women, rug burn, catfish, and the city of Detroit. So watch it or I'll sue you into a paper bag!

Folks, read the article. The phone isn't even really meant to be disposable: Part of it is credit card shaped so it can be swiped through and given more air time. You can keep using this sucker 'till the battery dies... and then give back to the company for recharging (and hopefully get a discount on new phones). Too bad about the outgoing calls only thing, that and the brain cancer and memory loss.
They prolly won't make it out of glass, if they use glass in it, they could just as well use one of the many kinds of polycarbonates out there. Glass has a nasty tendency to scratch easily
It is "Centre" not "Center". Are you saying Sen-tear? No, you're saying Sent-rr. Say Centre aloud. Notice how your tongue goes from the front of your mouth along your teeth. Nowhere in the motion of saying Centre does your mouth make a vowel between the T and the R. Therefore, Centre. A message to all you Yanks on/.: Foreign does not mean "Bad" or "Stupid", and goes for languages too. Sure, a lot of French is unneccesary, but it is *Beautiful* (not Beuteeful). It is elegant, and it can express ideas that English can't. BTW I am a Canadian who speaks French as a second language (and quite well, too).
This whole Karma idea doesn't fix the troll problem, it might even make it worse, and it punishes people whose postings aren't always moderated up to +5.

Do you need a license to talk on the phone? Read a newspaper? Buy something from a swap meet? Come on, it ain't the same thing.

Emperor Gates abdicates. Emperor Ballmer suceeds him. Paul Allen still a biatch.

Mr. Wozniak, do you have any "wild stories" from the blue boxing days like Capn Crunch's Toilet Paper Crisis? I would love to hear any you have.

Auld lang syne and all that crap.
It's to stress the fact that having Katz on Slashdot is a "Feature", not a bug.
it was on two cds, not exactly DVD quality, but it was still very high quality (for vcd).
C'est tout fini, mes amis. Je pense que je vais bouger au la Antartique, ou Montana, parce que la monde avait tourne fou. Au revoir.

South Park is on at 9:00pm on cable in Canada.
This has been haunting me for years, and nobody I know has any clue... please help me before my head implodes.
