Not to mention the fact that for some reason, the poster thinks it's outstanding that a professor of investment banking at Harvard knows something about patents. What point are you trying to make exactly by implying that this is shocking?

Not sure how one figures that -- it seems to have done quite well for itself hiding away in all of the nerds' bedrooms...
I've yet to hear one person complain that it was, so I think it's quite likely that it just didn't happen on Gentoo. (I spend quite a lot of time reading the forums and bug database.)
Not every distro with a 2.6 kernel has this problem. I dual boot with gentoo and have installed every 2.6 kernel version, and it's never had trouble like this.
"...and if you walk to the end of the block, there sits a Starbucks. And directly across the street -- in the exact same building as that Starbucks -- there is... another Starbucks. There is a Starbucks across the street from a Starbucks! And ladies and gentlemen, THAT is the end of the universe."
This is a really good point. Of course, it could also be argued that the button could be replaced with a triple-click of Shift, or Ctrl-Shift, or something similar. Then the Caps Lock button space could be used for some other various (hopefully useful) purpose.
Well I know what it _means_. What I was getting at was that there has to be a better way to distinguish this than to print 90% of the front page in italics, because that's just utterly bad design, and makes it hard to read.
Honestly, I'd rather have been given a link to the article though... would have been much easier to read. On a side note, why on earth does slashdot put almost all the text on the front page in italics?
Don't get too excited and go run and create a blogger account to get in. It seems that it only works for those that are currently "active" blogger users already. (Though nobody really knows what defines active.)
would be to see a growth rate rate-of-growth comparison. I mean, it'd be some use for all this calculus crap I'm using. And we'd be able to predict (guess) the future by looking at the trends!
The Open Source community? This is a pretty confused comment you make... the source here wasn't and still isn't open. Most people in the open source community will want nothing to do with it, as the legal ramifications of even downloading it are quite questionable. Also, what's the motivation to put effort into fixing something like this?
The only thing being demonstrated is that those who consider themselves part of the open source community are using this opportunity to go try to one-up Microsoft.
I have to agree that this is a very good idea. Now that I'm in my fourth semester of programming classes (first 3 all being Java) I'm now learning C and assembly, and must say, it's quite enlightening. You can know a lot about computers by learning higher level languages, but when I finally started learning assembly it drew that final link between software and hardware and finally the whole picture came together.
Slashdot Mirror
Perhaps the lauded benefits of eCommunication are just beginning to be felt
Well, finally.
Now I just can't wait to see these supposed places where millions of people anywhere in the world can share information and ideas.
The word is piqued! Not peaked! Arrrrrgh!!!
Does Ubuntu come with any dictionary software?
Apparently the author doesn't actually use firefox. The menu is not Tools -> Options, but Edit -> Preferences.

"NEVER put your PC directly on the internet. If you do, you deserve whatever happens to you."
;)
Uh, who marked this insightful? Anyone actually finding this insightful shouldn't have been around here to score it as such...
Heheh. You said bally.
I'm sure everyone wanted to know what we would do with 10Mbps too...

As someone that doesn't know much about databases, I found this tool priceless when playing around with MySQL.

Probably was a bad idea... the guys running this site probably aren't going to find Slashdot's great sense of humor all that funny either.
At least I know I don't anymore.
That's not that surprising, really. The only difference between the Gmail invite and lots of other spam is that you actually solicited this one.
You DO know that Promise makes quality RAID equipment, right? Don't hate them just because you bought the cheesy stuff...

You're not kidding...

I called in because I was having trouble reaching my ISP's DNS servers:
"We don't use DNS. We use DHCP."

Sure. Or just use GRP and have it done in under an hour...

Good idea, I say!
It's unfortunate that the code there is only for ipchains and not iptables, which leaves many Linux users out in the dark...
