We have a TV show over here in Australia called The Games, it's a parody of the Sydney Olymics organisers. Anyway, they did an episode last week where a gold medal favourite athelete legally changed her name to "Pepsi" so the commentators when they called the race and she recieved her medal would have to refer to her as a non-sponsor name. Amusing. The Games has been a great series, outlining many amusing political scenarios.
This is the same idiot who wrote about the supposed hack for averting amazon referal fees a few weeks. All this guy/girl does is spew up ALOT of un-researched incorrect crap! I knew as soon as I saw the link to this article that it was probably written by Leander. There are some good journo/writers at Wired.. Leander ain't one of them.....

Avoiding the whole - damn I was dissapointed with TPM war, remember that this is the LucasArts hype machine all over again.. and alot of you are already sucked in by it. I'll be VERY surprised if the game turns out to be as good as you guys hope.
I can't say how happy I was to hear that BS was rained out, go home Bar Bra - and take your crappy weather with you.
What comes after Red? Blue or Green?

I went to my fav B&M bookshop a few months back to buy the next book after reading Red. I spent ages trying to figure out which book was next in the trilogy, I'm still not sure and haven't purchased either yet. Simply numbering them 1-2-3 probably would have helped sell thousands of additional books:).. ok so maybe I'm a bit slow, but hey I'm just a dopey consumer.
I've had Laser Disc for over 6 years now.. very happy with the format. I don't have a DVD player yet, but I'll get one soon - only because the movies on DVD are slightly cheaper than LD. Funny, I also have that collectors pack, with all the Original movies and the book in the Black Case. Cost me heaps!
Due to the overwhelming response to the recent article at Wired, this site is experiencing heavier than normal load. Please bear with us, we appreciate your support.
Not a good thing to put on your front page when you're trying to sell commercial web hosting services - you mean your systems/network can't support a high level of hits?!. Also what was someone saying about grammatical errors?
I was thinking about this about the time the mindcraft survey came out. It would be interesting as my company has made some pretty large personalised sites that absolutely rocket on NT. Granted they're not getting 30,000 personalised users per day (or whatever the real figure is).
These have been in shopping centres for years

This is nothing new, they're just mainstreaming a product that has been used in shops and office buildings since the invention of the speaker.
How cool is that site, man I wish I could do that. I'm trying to understand whether the guy is for real or not.. I mean does he really own that Jet? Is he really as rich as his web site makes out?
I find it hard to believe that this guy has that much spare time to put together such a nice site. I reckon he probably hired some graphics designers to do it for him.
I had a bit of a chuckle at your article and actually had some respect for you until reading this post. Should have kept your mouth shut kid.. do you know what a TROLL is?
I saw them filming it around six to nine months back. Alot of the external shots are from the city CBD. The thing that bugs me is that they had to bring in left-hand drive cars to film the car scenes. What's wrong with the standard aussie right-hand drive?
Anyway it was also filmed at our super duper new fox studios (about 20 mins from my house) where Star Wars 2 & 3 will also be filmed!!
Aren't we taking this April fools a little too far here.

.. use the smallest amount of initiative to actually search the Apple web site. Although not having considered that and posting a silly repsonse about a broken link probably eliminates you from many prospective jobs including this one.. so maybe you shouldn't bother.
Just a little social experiment, do slashdotters really venture out into the real world for an event such as this. I would doubt. Meeting new people cold turkey etc.
Although I am stereotyping rather badly. No flames as I will not be reading this thread again.
I know this is not quite related to the free source offer, but just as an example of how I have seen these offers managed by Sun in the past.
About five months back they offered free copies of Solaris for personal use. All you had to do was order on the web site and pay delivery. Five months later (just yesterday infact) I got sick of waiting for it to be delivered, cancelled the order and demanded a refund. Lets hope this will be better managed.

Ok, so it's a publicity stunt, but if he wins the auction of his own site won't he legally owe ebay a percentage of the sale to himself?

Nothing more exciting that seeing rows and rows of rack mounted PCs.

"Of course, given my experiences with NT Server, I think it would be insane to put an NT server under those types of load conditions."
Very limited experiences I presume.

We don't get that in Australia, not even on cable. hrmm.. was I missing something good?
Nice little cash cow..
No crap to shovel, no hair removal, no organs to worry about.. just meat. This is definantly a PHD research work waiting to happen.
I like the Cyberpunk bag, I'd much prefer a backpack for my laptop and it's one of the better looking ones I've seen.
Hey if anything, putting a name on all these bags makes it easier to order 'em in if you were gonna be buying one.
