I noticed that the hypodermic needle design actually was changed to RJ-45; some were complaining that the RJ-11 design didn't make sense. Any respectable Slashdotter would have an Ethernet port installed, not a modem line!
I'm willing to admit that I figured the proximity of Finland was close enough to Norway that Finland was bound to have some fjords too. But hey it's no big deal, it's not like I care much about Finland anyway. Linus obviously thinks America is OK.
You're far too correct on that. There's no way past experience indicates they'll learn a lesson from this. Each fad is not seen as a concept tried and failed, but as a goldmine harvested and now mined out. Time to move to the next one.
DOS is still very much alive in embedded systems and industrial automation. Some part of that is due to companies just having old equipment, but there is also a huge base of knowledge and experience still out there. DOS is a "get it done" OS, nothing fancy, just a single-tasking system that gets you very good hardware performance.
With FreeDOS in existence and currently in active development, the DOS platform is going to be around for quite a while yet.
So they're finally realizing that you can't skip the analysis of an action, just because it's the hot new thing all the management consultants are raving about?
Man, no wonder the economy fell flat on its face. The CEOs didn't notice their shoelaces were tied together.
Actually, they get very nervous when they see electronic devices with wires attached that look out of place. You could even stick two wires into an orange and get in big trouble.
I bet I could get a blind-deaf person to navigate using only taste! Strap two solar cells to their forehead and run the wires to opposite sides of their tongue! Hey, it's only 1-pixel stereo vision, but better than nothing.
The one thought rampaging through my brain would be "I'm utterly defenseless."
This thing just asks for someone to sneak up and scare you or dump a bucket of ice water on your head, or else rob your wallet from your clothes, rob the rest of your house, then burn the house down while you're completely oblivious. An extra spy-movie-worthy idea would be slipping a few poisonous water snakes into the pool, or maybe a few piranhas. Piranhas OF DOOM.
Uh, the virus software already caught the message and the user won't be getting it. Sending a "you're infected" email back to the sender won't do a single bit of good, since the vast majority of SoBig viruses spoofed addresses using the infected computer's address book.
However, with the laying off of most of the r&d coders is there any one left that is accoutnable in nature?
I think the key part of that sentence would be is there any one left. I doubt SCO is currently hard at work on the next OS revolution. However, it looks like they have a more promising business model than chrisd's company....

That's extremely odd.

If it's not at the center, it's got to be pretty close considering that Earth itself is at the center of the known universe.
Or perhaps generate nearly unfilterable spam?
Actually, a lot of spam seems to use that technique a bit.
Uh oh, Jamie Zawinski has shown an interest in something. We have very little time before it is integrated into the standard xscreensaver loadout.

Where is your information that shows there are not steep cliffs along this inlet? The photo can't show the whole thing.
Once described to me as the Finnish fjord, though you may disagree.
Vehmassalmi.
There are no fjords, as in fjords plural. There is a fjord, as in one.
So Linus Torvalds is from Finland, right? The new motto for Linux could be...
wait for it...
"Built Fjord Tough."

That's old news, Slashdot editors have been on that from day one! ;-)
Great article. So the brain can map sensors and functions to other areas, translating one form of stimulus into another....
The brain is a giant, biological, reconfigurable logic device. Essentially it's a 100 billion gate FPGA.
Cool.

There is also no such word as "definately."
No, YOU check YOUR facts. I'll actually do it for you: U.S Department of Labor good enough for you?

It's actually H-1B, not H1-B.

I think the mods "Interesting"-ed this instead of "Funny"-ed it because the first sentence was "Just let people download all the music they want."
*moderator's eyebrows flicker* "Ooooo, interesting!"
