Dude,the free PDF readers can't even render background images correctly. I don't think they will be supporting the mentally-challenged features anytime soon when they can't even get the basics right.
Troll or not, this is absolutely correct. Acroread is bloated and slow, but it's the only reader that can display complex documents correctly. The other viewers are simply not feature-complete.
Why is Twitter suddenly such a big deal? Yesterday we hear that Oprah is starting to use Twitter, now Ford. But why?
Is Twitter really some kind of revolution, or is everyone jumping on a random bandwagon because they're afraid they'll look behind the times if they don't?
Slashdot Mirror
When IPv6 was announced, one of the benefits was that everything could have its own IP address; even your toaster!
So as for a business case, what about the internet toaster business? If we don't switch to IPv6, what will they do?
Please don't say "synergies." It makes me cry a little.
They could tell you, but they would have to sue you.
Clearly, you should quit your 9-5 job and become a lawyer.
Question: how do you burn a digital book?
The documents are sealed in a plastic box, but you can buy them for only $15.95 at your local record store.
If you copy them, we'll sue you. And there's no refunds if you don't like the documents.
Will this hologram technology be capable of storing a Holoduke?
Applets are still used quite extensively, actually. And now we have webstart, which is more or less the same candy in a different wrapper.
I'm sure they'll have WinFS ready by Windows 30.
Five digits per limb, I hope.
People still fall for this "opt-out" scam? Really?
I thought this was pretty well known and understood by now, especially by Slashdot types.

Since when has "poop" been a swear word that needs to be censored?
In my experience with both ICPC and TopCoder, they only test the solution with "toy" examples on a relatively fast machine.
That's not the same as saying your solution has to be, for example, O(n) or better.
Is it just me, or can 90% of the problems in ICPC be solved with brute-force recursive solutions?
Seems to me they could make things more interesting if they added a time complexity restriction to each problem.
The timing leaves the country safe for this new game:

I never say music was dying. I'm not some liberal arts major, I don't make bonehead philosophical statements.
I think you meant to say a game engine that's not evil.
You describe the backlash as though it hasn't already happened. Remember Tower Records? Virgin Megastore?
The music industry is dying, and this is their last stand.
But why buy from the store? If you attend the concerts, you can usually buy every album you want at a discount, with no retailer involved.
For less well known bands (i.e. not U2 and Def Leppard) the amount you save by purchasing albums at the show can cover the entire ticket price.
Trolling is an art form. Can one "certify" art? I think not.
There's only so many mistakes one can into 140 characters.
That's the thing though; old media is OBSESSED with Twitter. But is anyone else?
Maybe I'm just getting old, but I've never a single person who actually uses it.
