WTF? Why am I a troll? I asked a question! And then people give me information and milk mod points off of my question. My question produces like 12 mod points for other people, and I'm a troll? Oh, wait, let me guess, this is a troll too?
A tiny bit offtopic, but this is funny: One of our NT networking clients had this habit: Even though they had all those little computers in their "Network Neighborhood" folder, they still copied files to floppies and physically walked them over to coworkers in other offices.
Yeah I heard KDE2.2 was coming out today also. WhereTF is it? KOffice seems superior (read: WILL be superior when it is stabilized) to StarOffice for one reason: StarOffice is F'ing slow! Not too mention that the icons and user-interface in general for StarOffice totally SUCKS. However, I use StarOffice everyday until I get another option. Ja Mon, We Trollin'
"Rambus revealed during the Infineon trial that it charges royalties of 3.5 percent on DDR SDRAM and 0.75 percent on SDRAM.

What most Linux enthusiasts have realized is that Linux needs marketing in order for it to become a prominent desktop platform for end-users. We've been getting some help from IBM and Compaq to name a couple. Since you are using Linux as the core of the PS2, would you consider advertising it as so? It seems to me that many computer-literate console players would be intrigued by seeing a "Powered by Linux" sticker on their PS2s enough to go out and buy/download a distro.

W0w, i've never gotten to a slashdot-submitted story so quickly. Other side of the spectrum. Just goes to show you, Taco, nobody gives a shit. CODE BLUE!
CODE BLUE! That is SO funny for any other punk rockers out there. Remember "Code Blue" by TSOL? Yeah, they definitely should call this one, Code Blue, 'cause Baby, It's Dead.
I'm a freelance writer/aspiring writer, but I'm also a hacker. When I first heard of eBooks, I was afraid. I didn't want these things to replace regular paperback books, if I was ever to be published. There's something about books that cannot be beaten. The feel of a new book; the soft-tissue feel of a thrice-read one; or the smell of a hometown library littered with volumes of the latter. eBooks, IMHO can never replace traditional books. You simply CANNOT curl up next to a fire, under a linux blanket with an eBook; it just doesn't seem right...
I was in your position 3 years ago. Here's how it works, kid:
Work at some crap job that you hate. Work there less than 30hrs a week. Go home, and hack the night away. Learn as much as you can. Take your crap job as a vehicle to network (in the personal-communication sense, not the PC sense). Meet people. Tell them what you can do. Put up a website for your crap job, do the site nicely and toss it on your resume. After you turn 18, you've now got a complete site designed, and X programming languages under your belt. Open up the phone book and start calling ISPs. Think it won't work? It's exactly how I did it; working at an ISP doing ASP (yeah, yeah, I know) programming for nearly a year now in between EE and CE classes. Stay focused, it will happen.
His employer raised that money? That's great! Talk about dedication! More companies should back their employees in this manner. I can hardly believe this; are they hiring???
poor little dot server. it goes down for like a week or something, and now it's being slashdotted. maybe they should switch to an IIS server if you think that was anything other than a joke, kill yourself; you're stealing my oxygen
What a depressing peice of trash this was. The usage of the internet is dwindling? No shit. I can't believe the/. crew would find this newsworthy. Slow day? The author of this article gives us hardly any news, just a sort of haphazard substitution for insight that fails wretchedly. Oh, here's a bit of real news: apache lost ground according to the most recent netcraft survey. Read it if you're into that, information stuff.
If I could spell that too-shay word I would say it. I stand corrected. My point, however, still stands. If a company is going to sell linux, they must market it. The notion that I see laptops and pcs with "designed for M$ blah blah" on it makes me sick. They should say, "forced to be preinstalled with dysfunctional software."
you buy one of these and implant it in the back of your head? That way you can finally see Them following you everywhere you go. See if They like a dose of Their own medicine!!!
Same here. I Sent them an email asking them what kind of options they had for laptops and they didn't even get back to me! LOW DEMAND? Bullshit! Ever walk into a Best Buy/Circuit City and see a DELL laptop sitting there with a shiny sticker on it that said "Designed and Optimized for Linux 2.4 Kernel?" Hell no! There's no demand because those Intel whores refuse to market it! Shit, I didn't even know they had them available in the first place, no wonder there's no "demand"!
Is it just me or is.NET the most amorphic peice of vaporware shit to come out of Redmond since, well, ever? Seriously WTF is it? All we ever get is soundbytes from Gates and Co. about "framework" etc. AFAIK, it's a suffix to append to existing bad software, such as ASP.NET and VB.NET (which I hear is even WORSE than VB!!!). Seems like the OSS Community is wasting our time even being worried about it. And now we've got inner battles because of it? Come on, who cares?

Hey does anyone out there have a link to the provisions/highlights of the DMCA? I'm pretty ignorant of just how 'insideous' it is
