Where'd you get 1050 from? That sounds highly inflated to me.
While doing an install of Windows SUS I came up with roughly 400 patches for all versions of windows capable of windows update. The number soars to over 2,000 when you introduce all the other various languages, but these patches are all duplicates.
MS has tried this once or twice. I think the last one I'm aware of was putting up a 2k server prior to release and inviting people to give it's security the run around. Sadly it received mostly packets from kiddies so that program was terminated.
So which pen is your favorite? The classic Bic throw-away, a slightly nicer Schaefer, or your generic pentel? I'm a big fan of the Pilot p-500 "extra-fine", black, never blue.
Several months ago when I tried out gentoo the only editor available during the install process was nano. WTF? nano! Come on guys! I had headaches by the time I had finished the install from typing vi, and getting "command not found".
Thanks for the tidbit. This the second time I've ran into something interesting like this. "Bell The Cat" is another interesting bit I ran across almost a year ago.
Anyway, I think the bike shed deal applies to the vast majority of posts here on slashdot. I wonder if there's another cool term to reference situations where people are clueless and should not comment, that would encompass most of the posts not handled by the bike shed.
How is this at all like illegal search and seizure at all?
It's like you're having a garage sale, all your stuff sitting on your front lawn, inviting everyone to come by and take a look. In addition you lay out a nice sack of Marijuana and a cop walks by, I guess if he busts you without a search warrant it's illegal search and seizure?
I recently bought an Intel retail boxed P4 and they strongly urged you not to use thermal grease. They said instead to use the thermal tape that came on their heatsink, and I did. Their reasoning is that the grease dries and it makes it impossible to remove the heatsink from the chip and you'll damage the chip.
Did you honestly buy a Mac to game? Are you broken in some form or fashion? Com'on, wake up dude! You're almost as bad as the Linux hippies who bitch and moan.
Just today I read how IBPhoenix advocating their user base express their opinions to Mozilla over naming Phoenix as Firebird was to be considered immature. So why isn't this immature? Pot, kettle, black...
So IBPhoenix requesting that their userbase express their feelings to mozilla developers is immature. Yet slashdot advocating spamming spammers isn't? Grow up kiddies.
Too bad you really can't buy a Linux is for dweebs shirt off thinkgeek. I've got several friends with upcoming birthdays, I'm sure they'd love to have that to go along with their other Linux attire.
Given that a large number of customers are still using NT4, and given that this is their product. I'd say MS has looked at the problem that it would indeed be "that hard" to fix.
I think it would be far more acceptable if it were only used to refer to the less respectable black people. Pretty much as "white trash" isn't an insult to a white person because they're white, but because they're trashy. But sadly, there's a lot of ignorant people who use it as a blanket term to insult people for being black.
The connotation of the word has changed, deal with it, move on. You lost this war years ago. If you don't like what it now means to everyone but you and a few others, then don't choose it as your label.
Simply put, if the masses see "hackers" as evil criminals then that's what "hackers" are. Language is determined by the masses, not by a small minority who get to determine what's PC or right.
I was playing with my USB mouse a good 6 months before my Linux zealot friends were franticly recompiling their kernels to checkout the long over due USB support.

It would just go unused.

btw, it was available the same day it was available from official gnome sources. There was no more than a few hours delay.
FreeBSD 5.1 is not, and will not be production quality. Stick with 4.x for production machines for another 6 months or more.

Too bad there's not a news site like slashdot that's not run by Linux zealots.
I see now. Subtle.
Oh what a glorious day that will be. Though, I'll have to find some other pasttime than smashing linux newbie zealots.
Yes, this is why it's called a work around and not a fix.

I sure hope that English isn't your first language.

With the way ISS handles things I bet they're after this guy.
Otherwise... $5.00 says he works for ISS... any takers?

What are you net enabling? The network? Wait, shouldn't a network already be "net enabled"?
Okay, back to reading this week's spam article, can't go a week without one of those, eh?
