Thanks for pointing that out for all of us. All posts may be useless, but yours is clearly least useless of them all, second only to this one pointing out how less useless your post is.
From the preface to the 1703 (corrected edition) of 'The True-Born Englishman':
I should have been concerned at its being printed again and again by pirates, as they call them, and paragraph-men; but would that they do it justice and print it true according to the copy, they are welcome to sell it for a penny if they please. [Emphasis mine]
Note that he was much more sanguine about the piracy after three years (the poem was originally printed for sale in 1701) in that it provided a vast audience for his work who, otherwise, would not have been able to afford it. This helped lead to his becoming celebrated during his lifetime.
I hereby propose, from this day forth, that we call all copyright infringers "paragraph-men".
Can tablets and netbooks coexist? Can science and religion coexist? Can dogs and cats coexist?
Tablets and netbooks are different products for different purposes. How are they even competing? And no, the iPad won't kill netbooks. It costs thee times as much as a netbook.
They did have screen shots. Every Atari 2600 game I bought had awesome cover art on the front, and a some screenshots on the back. The Activision Anthology GBA cart reproduces the box art for each game. If you have a GBA (or DS), I highly recommend it. Great collection of classics.

Yes, but OS/2 was still way better than Win95. Win95 was 32-bit "OS" bolted on DOS. OS/2 was 32-bit from the ground up. The Windows of today has more in common with OS/2 than it has with Windows 95.
Windows 95: n. 32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit company, that can't stand 1 bit of competition.

First, weather control. Now, this. The Soviets are up to something, and you know Putin is behind all this. He's been playing "World in Conflict" and getting ideas...
You must be new to Slashdot. This is how Slashdot works (insert stereotypical examples). Blah blah blah anyone remember when Slashdot was cool? GET OFF MY LAWN.
But most users are installing the non-server non-phone-home version of the OS.
I recall an annoying registration window popping up in the regular OS X installer that did not offer a 'skip' button. So, I disagree on the 'non-phone-home' non-sense you've come up with.
You can hit Command-Q to quit the registration, and then it will ask you if you want to skip it. They should just put the "Skip" button right there in the window, though.

no, this post is even MORE useless.

I started reading ebooks on a Palm 128 years ago
I didn't think they had PDAs that long ago. Also, what's your secret to long life?
I can't understand why they're not giving people what they want: ray traced Nethack.
You can have ray traced nethack. Just print every screen on a laser printer with high-resolution TrueType fonts.

Cockpit video surveillance adds nothing to accident investigation
Except it'll exonerate the pilots once we prove it was a gremlin that jumped in the window and set the autopilot to "crash"
That's a design flaw. It wouldn't even be a problem if the autopilot switch couldn't be toggled from "don't crash" to "crash" in the first place.

Were your red spots unaffected as well?
I don't have any red spots, but my age spots grew in size and became more fragrant.
Thank you, Simone.
What the fuck is WTF?
