Tell you what: Go find my a dsl or cable provider who gives a crap about customer privacy and we can all switch to them. Oh wait, thats right. They are in it to make a buck! And the easiest way to do that is not get involved in idealistic claptrap.
So let me know when you find our elusive ISP. Until you can revert to dialup, or abide by the law.
This is jsut an adaptation of an old exploit I used to used back in the good old days. Me and some friends had hacked together an intranet version of pong back in hte early 70's. It didnt take us long to discover that if you sent multiple balls to the same court it was soon too muhc to handle and the players would all drop out, come over to your cube and beat the crap out of you.
This is the same technology they are talking about ehre.
This shoudl be named the Adam project after teh acount of genisis. Although. elts face it, he woulda been kciked out of eden a lot faster if he internet access. God frowns on pr0n:)
Every so often you here one of these stories. I don't get it. As the article says, you can be fairly sure than any instance of such misconduct will be foudn out eventualy and the faker shames.
What is he gonna so now? I doubt he can get a job in physics, so unless he is set he might have to flip burgers. And if he can get the burgers to cook 3 times faster than theoreticaly possible, it would be a lovely form of irony.
Im surprised this wasnt rejected. I mean, I feel that the usual slashdot standards have not been met. A post shoudl reference more article than this. I dont feel that there is enough information available for a truly good post.
The obvious alterative to commericals is to have either a pay by show watched system. I have another idea. How about a pay per channel system. You get hte idea a little wiht premium cable channels. But imagine I paid a certain small fee epr month per channel I wanted. I dunno how much it would have to be to keep the station afloat, but it it isnt too much it would be worth it to me.
It would also breed competition between the stations and we might actualy get some good shows. (you gonna say there already is competition and that we cdont have good shows, but this system would allow a station to go in a particualr artistic direction and everyone who likes it pays and everyone who doesnt ignores it. Might work)
I dont like commercials. But i cna live with them.
Gee. I can't Imagine what 4-dimensional space, you now, physics and math and crap, would have to do with "news for nerds." Its not liek nerds migt be interestedis it, do you suppose?

Brilliant plan.

No wodner yuo got beat! Your submission is dated tomorrow. It hasnt even been read yet!!! :) :)
I used slack for a while. Too many broken packages. Im runnign debian now.
they could give us some screenshots of kde.
or some of gnome
or a nice shot of mozilla rendering a webpage
Or even twm.
or a kernel compile
It will look exactly liek the same shto froma red hat machine. Or mandrake. Or my debian. box. so whats the point.
1. stop basing them on red hat. If red hat is so great, use red hat.
2. Gime me some actual reason why this is better than red hat, mandrake, suse, conectiva or the red-hat flavour of the week.
3.ark? what the hell? you can have the packages installed two by two?
4. some other witty comment.
5. sheesh. I'm tired of cookie-cutter distros.

I never said I admired a man who can speel it correctly. Thats a piddling little acheivment. :)
Or Michael Jackson in a barrel of monkeys

A shame really, cause I like the idea

It the worlds first java-based kaladioscope!!
Now all I need s a webbrowser at the end of a tube and I can relive my childhood.
All Im saying is that you thought yo use dummy. Your level of defensiveness on the issue goes farther to prove my point :)
One a related note, I'm starting a new blog - Slashdot for Dummies.
Well you can actauly run a clock or something by plugging wires into a potato to make a primitive battery.
The parent to this got moded up INSIGHT-freaking-FUL????
Daaaaaaaaaamn. That some good crack the mods are smoking. Why won't the putzes share?
On the contrary! I'm impressed if he can use ME for anything. God knows I couldn't manage to.
