If you don't care about top level performance or good hardware, and would prefer to bitch instead about having to buy a copy of Windows, you could always look on ebay. Better yet, you could buy my old laptop. It's in great shape, and I'll toss a copy of linux on there for you.;)
Is it just me or has Cringley become the new Jon Katz? All he does is post ridiculous, uninformed shit and get everyone all worked up over his outlandish assertations.
So I was dating this girl in a sorority for awhile. And things were going OK, but then we broke up. Now, there are a LOT of hot girls in this sorority, and once we broke up, I was pretty much barred from dating any of them. Oh, well. Now just gotta look in other places for booty.;]
The thing that's disturbing is that after we broke up, it's kind of this sorority rule that they'll go out of their way to be mean to you, because you hurt one of their poor sisters. So now, not only am I barred from dating anyone else in that sorority, but odds are that if I try to talk to them, they'll just be total jerks to me for no reason and be just generally mean to me because of my ex-girlfriend.
Now, instead of dealing with problems like this on our own, a whole sorority of unthinking and unquestioning people can somehow get involved in a situation like this and leap down my throat for no good reason, and WITHOUT ever having heard my side of the story. Sound a bit familiar?
Seems like/. is kind of becoming an online version of this. "Oh no Microsoft is so bad or listen to this evil thing Apple did", and then hundreds of people go out there and flame these companies without ever having heard from them first. A bit blind, don't you think?
I recently ran a mirror of the Starship Exeter vids, which were pretty big quicktime movies. My system was fine, serving quite a few movies at a time. But I was still able to play UTDemo at XGA, full detail, 7 bots, 50fps. And I thank the 128kbit limit my ISP put on the upstream part of my ADSL.
Slashdot Mirror
...leaving more than 8,000 livid individuals and businesses - including Amazon and Priceline - with no Web presence or email
Somehow I doubt that amazon's web and email presence was severely limited by the lack of an amazon.uk.co domain.
shit i didn't even read the article and this post is funny. =)
Because statements like:
Grate buyar would selll anytime!!!!!!!!!! A++++++++++++!!!!
Are not necessarily good proof of one's online integrity.
Only criticism is that it gets hot.
Tell that to the guy that burned his penis.

Agreed. And likewise, "Flamebait" seems to be an appropriate moderation for your post as well. ;)

Ok, I've seen several posts now regarding the seemingly-dead FSP protocol, which I'd never heard of until today. Someone care to explain this?
Wow, bforsee works for xilinx. Looks like another slashvertisment to me.
Damn. Couldn't have put it better myself.
For a 450Mhz box with no monitor?
I like the blades, but they're gonna have to come down in price a bit more for me to wanna buy one.

hey wtf is up with the microsoft house article above this one? looks like /. isn't allowing comments on it. :/
what is it about intelligence and the desire to blow things up?
desire(to_blow_things_up) = 1/intelligence
"Welcome to planet Xuranus"
anyone wanna register dupedot.org with me?
I've used apache 2.0, and it's great and all, but I ain't switching over until the PHP folks say that the PHP-apache-2 module is good to go.

50FPS on a 66$ vid card? What card is it?
You're either a very smart 12 year old or a very dumb adult/teen. I'm personally leaning towards the second of the two options here....

/. editors....maybe they'll repost this story on February 1st for that special /. touch. ;P
hrm I wonder if linuxjournal is starting to take tips from
I would paste the contents of the page in this post, because their page is slashdotted at the moment...I think that would be a bit ironic, though. ;)
I wonder if Pink Floyd gave you permission to use his name on slashdot... :P
