This is probably why the average age of our population of heroin users goes up by about one year every year.
Let me add that the sight of a aged-29-looks-48 Rotterdam junkie I chatted to a few years ago was probably the most eye opening anti-heroin education I've ever had.
Stupid article - a transparent attempt to get his friend a new bicycle. I strongly urge everyone to go to the Kona website and vote for the Tanuki (if you don't understand why, RTFA).
Oh, and TFA states: That's why no country practices direct democracy.Wrong
What if the scripts he runs require a particular user? Or have startup dependencies? Or a million other things that can add complexity to a startup script.
netBSD has its advantages. This is not one of them.
How are they more useful than the iPhone (or equivalent)
Screen real estate. Proper keyboard.
everyone already owns and carries around ?
Everyone doesn't already own an iPhone, they cost craploads of money - and as you say toys are not something people are inclined to spend alot of money on at the moment.
Slashdot Mirror
IIRC, a few GNU encryption programs do the same thing while collecting entropy, and yell at you if you don't wiggle enough.
Feature. Not a bug.
Do you have any idea how hard random data is to collect?
Well, I can detect lies (with a 100% success rate) - just by staring into the character of the electrons of a slashdotter's post.
And you are lying.
Oh, wait! Sorry, not lying - but self-delusional. The characteristics electron remnants of lying & self-delusion appear similar on occasions.
Does slashdot not have testing servers, or what?
Testing is for wimps. Real men upload their data to an...
Did you miss "and are never open minded"?
Do you agree that someone with a bias is never open minded?
I take it you walk round throwing away $50 notes - after all, money doesn't get lost!
Those extra pennies have probably circulated so much that they went back into taxes and funded themselves.
Sincere but incorrect economics lecture or
subtle troll? Frankly - I have no idea.
Liberals, by definition, come at their argument pre-biased to the left and are therefore never "open minded."
I love the way you write off an entire group as never being open minded in a sentence about bias.

Youtube's value is in the long tail - Hulu doesn't seem to be going down that path.

That was exactly my point.
To be pedantic - you didn't make a point, you asked a question.
Which makes the outcome of the vote fair?
No. What on earth made you think it did?
As of this writing, the counts are at 44% for Tanuki, 11% for King Kilauea, 45% for Cadabra.
Now, Kilauea has been eliminated, & Tanuki is 68% vs Cadabra at 32%.
I feel almost guilty for fucking up that dude's plan.
Doesn't your suggestion to vote the opposite essentially represent the exact same behavior?
No - it shows how an attempt to subvert a vote like this can itself be subverted in an unexpected manner.

Itunes pricing is already segmented. Amazon's digital offering is region locked. As are all the other players.
I'm not sure your point holds.
I am aware that I will get tones of flak for this...I am ready so go right ahead.
I'll bet you're ready!
After all, you've had plenty of practice trolling linux users haven't you?
echo some-program=YES >> /etc/rc.conf

Ubuntu is linux-based, not Windows. We're not used to rebooting all the time.
Every 18 months is not "all the time".
Takes more effort to script them so I don't have to spend effort starting them up on every reboot.
You're kidding right? You're going to regret that decision if you lose power for longer than your UPS has batteries.
Honestly, it can't seriously be that much effort.
And that means rebooting.
Erm? Why is a reboot a problem?
Do you run Ubuntu on your server? (In which case, why would you be considering a Release Candidate?)
Or do you never reboot your home PC? (Surely you can afford a scheduled reboot overnight when you're sleeping).
Or are you just after uptime bragging rights? (That's really a bit sad on a home computer that isn't under heavy load)
iPhone users are non-technical users, Android users are technical users.
What a load of bullshit. The userbase of both phones are a majority non technical, with a small minority of technical users.
a man that has enough money in liquid cash to support the next 36 generations of his offspring in a lavish life of hookers and beer.
Well, of course - he's trying to save enough cash to keep the next 36 generations of his offspring in a lavish life of hookers and cocaine.
Frankly, what else would you expect from a conservative?
has anyone seen high quality flv?
Try here. Up to 1080p.
Youtube is NOT good quality.
Depends on the quality of the original video - youtube allows up to 720p - look for a 'HD' button in the bottom right corner of the vid.
-to add insult to injury--proprietary.
Flash is no less proprietary.
How did this get modded up?
Because Conroy was talking it up on National TV less than a fortnight ago.
