That is *so* funny! You are taking my point and passing it off as your own!
I want you to disagree with me. I want everyone here to disagree with eachother at least once in a while. That would be a good thing for slashdot.
BTW, that's not what troll means. It's a good thing that, if you have your own opinion, you try and defend it...see if it stands up. That has nothing to do with "enforcing"[sic] your opinion on others (which I never did).
so you mention the USB ports. In the picture is also an eject button that would seem to do nothing, and a couple of holes in the case that seem to do nothing. This picture doesn't tell us anything. It doesn't suggest it's a computer stuffed into a CDROM case. It suggests that various spare parts and some working LEDs were. I'd find it more ineteresting if there were some words there...that's all I'm saying.
First off, I don't wonder why the flamebait/troll. I know exactly why. That's my point!
However, I don't mind getting modded down! I don't mind getting flamebait/troll. But I think it's funny. It just goes to support the idea that slashdot is by, and for, a single mindset. You're probably sitting there all upset because I don't agree with you and yet I still visit the site. Ya know-- "if you don't like it then leave".
So, you might doubt my sincerity when I wrote a second ago that I don't mind the modding... why should I mind? I have "uber-ness". Things can only get better for me; especially considering I have yet to touch a real booby! LOL, that was a good one, BTW (and you might have a point...it's been a couple months as my wife is breast feeding our new baby).
Anyways, I've never once posted as anonymous coward. If I have an opinion and care to bother posting it then I'm not ashamed...I'm not too weak to let my identity sit with it. That isn't intended as a jerk comment. It's not an example of my "uber-ness". It's just a small indication that I'm being sincere: my opinion differs from the/. core very often; all I did was state it; and I get the typical reaction. Look, this isn't me saying something like "the truth hurts, eh?"...I'm just saying the typical/. reaction to "other" opinions is an odd thing. I find it all kinda curious.
How exactly does stating my opinion show how selfish I am (one way or the other)?
You stated your opinion, too: "I really hate people who are so intolerant they can't even stand someone else enjoying a different TV program". Are you selfish? Are you glad to show that off in public? Do you feel big?
It's really a waste of time to point out how you don't understand the concept of intolerance...but it's hilarious. You might as well have said "I'm totally intolerant of intolerant people!!!". You'll learn this next year in 5th grade.
No, not at all. Your picture looks like a regular network hub stuffed into an old CDROM case. The thing mentioned in this article is a computer, and CDROM drive, in a CDROM case.
So, how long until we see a mod at pimprig.com showing a mid-tower Lian Li with a window...showing that the mid-tower is empty except for a slightly strange looking CDROM drive.
I don't like the show *and* I don't watch it (did once or twice, that was plenty).
"this thread isn't for people who don't like farscape"...really? You decided? You set the rules? What about the people who aren't fans, who never watched the show, and are now curious about it because of all the misplaced fuss? I'll just slip in my opinion here so that they know there are people out there that don't agree with the/. sanctioned mind. That is a legitimate thing to do, even if it shocks the bra off your head.
"Your opinion doesn't matter to me"...so what? You don't matter to me. So what again!
Dude, you don't understand how things work. People are free to post their opinions whether or not they matter to you. You are not GOD.
And so, again, here is my opinion: Farscape sucks and I hope it is gone forever.
I never read the 1st or 2nd review of a movie on Slashdot. Waiting for the 100th review posted here. I'm sure either timothy of chrisd will get right on it...
Does this mean some rich person is going to fund the mailing out of billions of Debian CDs to every person in the US on a weekly schedule competing with AOL? Instead of "1000 Hours Free!" it could read "Your Life: Free!".
All kidding aside, some kind of grassroots movement for that might be cool even without some rich person to fund it all. You'd go to a website and grab a copy of a standard CD label graphic, burn 20 CDs of some distro, package it up, and then send them out (maybe to a list of addresses provided by the website). A distributed effort to mimic the AOL campaign for OSS benefit, coordinated by some volunteer website.
Although CD-R blanks are practically free, where can you get empty DVD cases for super cheap?
The book might be OK. But, I don't read stuff from shark-jumping authors. However, let's all hope and pray that a movie is never made. "Congo", 'nuff said.
I use HE for two sites now. One at the $10/mo level, another at the $25/mo level. There aren't any huge issues to complain about, but over the years I've collected a very large number of semi-weekly hassles that add up to real annoyances. This ranges from very minor details (like their unwillingness to set asp_tags to true and require you do it on a per-directory basis with.htaccess) to more annoying things (like their *really* stupid way of administering the multiple POP boxes). The big deal is that the tech support is *very* weak. Extremely weak. The people truly do not care. Maybe if you get a dedicated server or two, but they cheese you on the virtual hosts big time. From time to time (like everyone) they have performance issues and even down time, but I've been noticing (and logging) a big increase in recent months. I first learned about HE from co-workers when I was at www.go2net.com, and only 1 other is still with them (all leaving for similar complaints of downtime). The rest have all gone to pair.com for hosting. I haven't looked into Pair yet but suspect I'll move over soon. So that's all about performance and such...but there's the ethical side, too. I've been seeing more and more stories linking HE to various spam operations. I, for one, don't need to give my hosting dollars to a service that is furthering the spam problem (that is, if it's true...although I don't intend to research this because there are enough other reasons to leave HE).
for the economy, though. And if that is true, and if the government desires a good economy...then why not use state-mandated Pavlovian instruction techniques starting throughout K-12 public schooling?
Focus groups might even be more effective for the marketer. Want to know if the respondant prefers marketing strategy A or B? Well, for which does he literally drool?
would be better. Get it all over with quickly. Then, cancel Farscape. Then, make sure no Star Trek is ever shown again. Finally, cast Jon Katz as Stanley's gay lover on Lexx.
I'd be happy to even just see GnuLicensed blueprints for home designs...some nice web site repository. Hmm, maybe it exists? Anyways, the plans aren't the horribly expensive part. If only the local governments would except something other than cold cash...maybe PostcardWare or something?
Of course I know you were kidding. In fact there is no reason to give Taco (or any of the/. folks) a break. Duplicate stories suck, and despite the lame FAQ comments *would be* easy to deal with if only they could really code. But, duplicates of really really lame stories suck even more.
"Nonetheless, it's amazing that it's being contemplated due to the ethical implications of such an experiment. What if it were viable? What if there were more than just a few human cells?..."
Blah, blah, who cares?! I'd just be excited to see a mouse able to use as many huge impressive science words as this genius scienceguy!
Paul did write it long ago. He also wrote (a now very dated) article on cgi security tips which is referenced on page 671 of O'Reilly's "Perl Cookbook". Drink me. A while back I noticed the link was dead and set up a redirect for him at Go2Net, but I was laid off recently and the Go2Net site will go down around March...so, let's hear it for more dead links published in popular books! Hooray!

Nice, I chanced upon a "troll" that should've been "insightful" here.

Just because a slashdot submission screener dude *can* add a little comment to the end of a submission doesn't always mean he should.

Yep. I remember using some /. feature once to prune away Jon Katz crap. Time to find that feature again and add this michael boy.
