My admin has that too. In fact, we just(read: lazy) turned off any LOCAL referrers(which comes from people surfing around different pages in 1 session). It's amazing what you'll find sometimes linked to your page.
For some bizarre reason, there were 15 counts of a referrer from osdn regarding the Slashdot cruiser. I checked the Slashdot cruiser web page only to find nothing linked to my site. Strange(but then again a page doesn't have to be linked. It could be 15 people were at that page first, and then went to something on my site)
Other than that, I found the usual google returns, and plenty from articles I commented on from here.
And when i hosted a real wacky e-zine(the boulder news frenzy) which had tons of vulgar language, every pervert with keyword searches of "toilet sex", "rape", etc went to the zines on my pages, only to be disappointed to find an ASCII rag.
So take a look at those referrers. You'll be amazed what you find. Often you'll see someone on a webboard post a link to one of your pages with a positive/negative comment.
Yeah I was hit by goatse 1 or 2 times(it was from some guy's page linking supposedly to a DecSS mirror). Fortunately I'm quick with the keyboard, and alt-f4 in a second, turned my back to make sure my sup wasnt around.
And that's what pisses me off when I'm at work. Imagine you make one mistake in going to a regular friendly site, and instead get a porn site. It hits hard at work when there's a liberal Internet usage policy. What if it was an accident?
Are you sure that'd take off? With the "software should be free" mentality with Linux, Blizzard would sell 100, maybe 200 copies at most. I sincerely doubt they would turn a profit.
Pi was a real strange movie. I saw it at some Uptown theater, and I must say the main character was quite the hobbit. He didn't care much for the outside world. The soundtrack was top notch.
So? It's a bit on the trivial side, and not exactly "news" that's relevant to everyone outside of the Linux world. So, I'd say it belongs in the Linux section. To a Linux user it's news.
When are we going to see more than a 160x160 resolution in these devices instead of more color? I'd rather be able to see more text(with decent font detail) than more colors. I know it's a step closer to being more of a laptop than a palmtop, but still.
They should have forgone the serial number part(I don't need a serial number on mine. if it gets stolen, I'll buy a new one. I mean come on! heh), and sold it for $10 a piece, and made a ton on software bundling. Home inventory(CDs), quickie hardware identification(run the cuecat on your video card, and it'll find the drivers for you!), and such. Forget about the Rat Shack stuff, that's peanuts compared to selling a piece of hardware cheap, and doing bundling with it.
I'd like to see Tom Green go to Australia and wear that bomb squad "If you see me running, try to keep up" while drinking a can of Pepsi. Let's see how long it'd take before the SS pins him to the ground.
You played a lot of Missle Command as a kid, didn't you? You have every strategy down pat.

I wondered how long it would be before Secret Service agents stormed my apartment after registering and setting up a website called "screwtheolympics.com"
I am just imagining scared housewifes standing on a chair trying to beat down a CueCat on the floor with a broom.
Seriously, how much bickering is there going to be about all these litttle details on an inanimate object? I don't think people are going to take software agreements seriously anymore with all this BS going on. I haven't even hooked up my cuecat, and I could care less about it's agreement on the software I won't be installing. I'm not really afraid of any acronyms in this situation.
Slashdot Mirror

I just want the Saint's cell phone/palmtop combo. It was some Nokia that wasn't avaialble in the US.
Notice how Windows wasn't mentioned along with Be and MacOS on the article? jeez.

What if MS gave the OS for free, and made money off the apps like Office, etc? Give away the razor, sell them blades.

Yes, obviously they took a hint from Paint Shop Pro's browser, and integrated it into Windows Explorer.
Look on the bright side, at least DC didn't break the GPL, otherwise there would be hell to pay!
Maybe we should take the paranoid old lady approach, assume it's an explosive device, and have everyone call the bomb squad upon receiving it.

Are you saying now TV shows can have popup ads like geocities pages and porn sites? Ugh.
I'm still trying to find the picture of CmdrTaco hoolding a "Taco sucks" sticker that Lion made at the last linuxfest.
What's the resolution on the Yopy?

I read this book many moons ago. I must say it was interesting reading about the various computer game ports done in the early 1980s.

Expect a storm of "OH my ghod they are running WINDOWS?" comments.
