My comment was to the "oh have to buy fuel to power it".
You have to buy electricity as it stands now. So you're moving from one source to another. Provided its cheaper/environmentally friendly who cares who gets the money?
You'd think global standards would be a good thing but there enough left-wings against globalization to make most G's fear the idea.
You pot smoking shitfaced losers can't have it both ways. We can't all distinguish ourselves by imaginary religions and borders then simultaneously wish for a happy unified world peace.
Not going to happen so long as people still believe in "god" and have "pride" in a billion year old piece of soil....
This is funny because everything I write, I give away!

My point was that work work is work work and is not upto you [no matter how left-wing GNU-righteous you are] whether it gets shared or not back in public.
Yes, in a perfect world we would share everything. Of course in a perfect world there wouldn't be money anyways! People would right software for the primary purpose of getting work done [not making an almighty buck].
Ask *specific* permission first. If denied don't work on it at work. If you're smart you'd only ask if there is an angle the company can take advantage of. Make sure you have some ppt slides with graphs pointing upwards.
Are/. readers really this fucking stupid?
Duh, mr.boss guy can you pay me to give out free programs that our company can't make money off?
Which correspondence college offers that and how much does it cost?

I'm also a MSc in Network Ping Techniques. I can ping with one hand tied behind my back. My Masters thesis was whether gnip would work equally as well as a ping program. Turns out not. Stupid Command not found.

Hey dork, college costs an arm and a leg. Why not, not spend a years tuition on a laptop and just use paper/pen and maybe a 90$ tape recorder if you're in a bind?
Holy crap are people really this stupid. As if this is even an ask slashdot question. May I ask what you used during your decade or so of public elementary education [including high school]?
Throwing three IDE drives [that I had already] into an elcheapo motherboard is a bit cheaper:-)
The breakdown is as follows. 1 Drive was my system drive. 1 drive was for a class I was in [stupid cheap school] and the other was just for temp storage between windows and linux [fat32]. I bought them all when I had a job. My 30GB main drive died a month and a bit ago... [fun] so I got a new 40GB [crosses fingers].
Anyways, I'm a bit paranoid [and at this point broke] so I use three drives, info-zip and a bit of prayer to keep my stuff safe:-)
BTW for the curious, this is what I'm so interested in keeping safe.

Its my free BigNum textbook I'm writing based primarily on my LibTomMath bignum ISO C library. The text is getting rather complete and I'd hate to see it vanish...
a 40GB drive cost me about 90$. So what I do is backup [almost hourly] my projects [as I work on them] onto two other IDE drives and another IDE drive on another computer. Once a week I burn everything to CD.
This way when my main 40GB drive does die I don't lose anything:-) and at worse I have to buy another 90$ drive....
Fortunately "all my projects" and stuff takes up only 300MB so its not that painful to backup on the three other drives.
Slashdot Mirror
Pursuit of science [somehow].
I remember back in my day we were simply told the solar system is huge. We didn't need a realistic to scale model to figure that out.
Maybe kids today have no imagination...

You so funny. I surprise joke not made MS much funny funny.
Now go home and think about what you did.
You guys fail to realize that you have HUGE freaking logo and brand names on your shirts, pants and caps.

Because it isn't your job.
If there is a bug in the software you submit it to the author and work around it [or find another package].
The only two exceptions are
a. The bug is a single line typo of sorts that would only take a split second to fix
b. The software is mission critical and you'd go belly up without it.

Something tells me the loud boom of a couple hundred ton engine and the huge flash scares off most wildlife [but not us Humans... hmmm...]
Other than that the NRA could be contracted to "take care of the problem". Deliver some serious 2nd admendment justice.

Birds take down planes because they kill the engines. A bird hitting a 747 wing will just be obliterated.
Otherwise flying through heavy snow/rain would down every aircraft on earth.

Not really. I used ClarisWorks when I was a kid, then I moved to StarOffice and then OpenOffice.

Honestly? Java is just another run-of-the-mill-dime-a-dozen-oreilly-excuse-for-a- sale-waste-of-space.
Who cares if some people got jfed up with some jjob that involved jjava?

What ever happend to independent and competing ideas that will eventually succumb to the better format?
...
Remember LZH, ARC, PAK, ARJ, JAR, ZIP, RAR, ACE, ZOO,
All competing algorithms and eventually ZIP won [or more so deflate] for the most part and BZIP2 to a certain degree...
If you stiffle independent thought before you get out the door why bother?
