If anyone is actually reading this, you can find the shirt designs over here. I'm guessing that's the designs and shirts this topic was about, anyway, I think the "News for Nerds" looks the best. I wonder when they will announce them on the main page?
Amen. Finally, some sense. I too wonder howcome "seeing every move by Intel or Microsoft interpreted as further proof that they are evil, while AMD, Apple, Netscape, Motorolla can do the exact same things and no one cares". I don't even see the point of the arguement. Paying high prices is good? Intel lowers their prices to compete with AMD. For once, AMD actually has a chip better than Intel, so Intel relizes that it needs to drop their price to compete with them. I don't know where you get the idea of dumping, how can you prove it? How can you not prove that AMD hasn't been doing it forever, I mean, their chips were always much lower than Intels, maybe they were dumping. You slashdot *ssholes piss me off so much because of your biasesness (that's a word right?)
A lot, depends on what it is. Star Wars sites have domain names, and they are fan sites. Some videogame sites I go to are nothing more than fan sites (ie, they don't get paid) but they have domain names. Hell, if a domain name was $50 or less, I'd buy one just for my POS site. If you really love something, then you want to make sure you can get it out to the biggest audience.

Do you really think NASA would be that stupid to totally ignore the most important part of the mission? Also remember that the satalite will be traving too, so it's not like it's just standing still.
On MSN as April Fools joke, they had you try Smell-o-vision. You were supposed to smell stuff through your speakers. Me being a little kid, of course fell for it. I'm just lucky no one saw me ; )
I find it funny that a performance quote from a manufactor/. likes is always taken as truth. Whereas a performance quote made by a competior (ie. Microsoft, Intel) is always subject to intense controversy (ie Mindcraft Linux vs. NT tests). I'll believe it when I see the numbers on Tom's Hardware or Sharky Extreme.
It sounds like regular business to me. Consumers want the best bang for the buck, and Intel wants to give them that. It's competion, just like what occurs in all kinds of other businesses.
Only at/. could someone complain about an OS being too user friendly. But that's the whole reason Windows will beat Linux in the long run, unless Linux magically becomes simple for the average (stupid) user. People don't want to learn about their computer, they just want to use it. They still think it's a super complicated box. These are the people who buy a $500 computer from Best Buy, just because it was cheap. They annoy me too, but I don't think these are the kinds of people who should use Linux.
I've always felt this, but my little opinion has been crushed by you Linux users. I still don't understand why yall always trash Microsoft products, no matter what it is, or how good it is. It just doesn't make sense.
Of course, I wouldn't trust anyone from Slashdot to do it. There is no way at all Windows would even have a chance. Slashdot people are way too biased to do something like that.
You are a nutcase. It's people like you who scare the jeebers out of me. Let me guess, when 2000 hits, you'll proclaim that God will come down and kill all the sinners. Give me a break.
And I also suggest you read this article, especially the part about "Unfortunately, perceptions of the Linux community are shaped by Web sites such as www.slashdot.org, where self-styled experts who have the collective IQ of an AOL CD post inflammatory propaganda." Linux will never beat Windows if you keep degrading it down like you do.
I was wondering when someone was going to make a thread about this. I'd bet anything in the world, if the final results favored Microsoft, you guys would tear it to the ground. It's been my past experiance here on Slashdot, that ANYTHING favoring Linux is always good, and Microsoft is ALWAYS evil. Nothing good is ever said about Microsoft, no matter what. You Linux people are a bunch of stuck up little brats. Whoa, did I just say that? I guess I did. Remember that article posted yesterday or Monday about how the genaral public would start to see Linux after they heard all you Linux guys get mad over anything that said Linux was bad? Well, I've reached that point, I was wanting to at least try Linux, but if that means I got to become some stuck up @sshole (ie, Linux rules, everything else sucks) then I don't think I want to.
I like them. I don't have to worry about my little brother seeing people having sex, or picking up cuss words. I do think it's rating system is flawed sometimes, but I'd rather have a rating system than no rating system.
I'm one of those desktop users who run Windows. I'm interested in Linux (how can I not be, I read Slashdot:-)) but my dad is resisting. With the demo day, I could at least see what it looks like in action, and see how hard it really is. The lack of apps does hurt it, because my dad is firmly rooted in Microsoft products, and we'd have to keep Windows anyway. But I'd like to try Linux anyway.
They have a purpose too sometimes. My site could be called that, but I would make a real one, it's just I dont' know what to make it on. So, I just make a "this is my web page, look" site, and hopefully use the skills I've learned when it really counts. I'm fixing to get hired to make a web site for one of my dad's organizations, and thanks to my "pretty dog" site, I can do it since I know how to code HTML.
Slashdot Mirror
It doesn't work in IE dumbass.
>Not that anyone here ever installed IE willingly ...
Wrong

Anyone know how much the shirts will be? Or will they be Open Source, so they give them out? : )
That would be a great idea, I'd like to see Geocities server crash.
It's not sick, it' hardcore.
I've crashed my TI-86 multiple times. I think it's very unstable, is there a Linux OS for it? :)

I think I should run that past my senetor....

This has nothing to do with Geocities, but if you have a XOOM page, you can get rid of that annoying frame ad. Just insert
= 'index.html';"
onLoad="if(parent.frames.length!=0)top.location
into the body tag, and no more frames.

Yes, it does : )
