I was a guitarist in my local punk band and I worked damn hard at doing more than "sounding loud". No matter what music you play the quality of the instrument and guitarist (in this case) are important. I was damn good and so was the rest of the band. Hell, we had a one handed bassist that could whip any non-handicapped bassist I've ever heard. Too bad our lead singer was an asshole. Oh well, thats another story...
BTW- All girl punk bands rule... mmmmmmm, girl punks...:)
Its damn sweet though, seeing a user switch from MacOS to Win95 with just a keyboard shortcut. Of course the system basically ran 2 processors, but shared 1 hard drive. Nice setup though.
We submit stories linked to other people's content and Slashdot makes the profit. They may go through all the posts and place up what they call newsworthy, but is that worth a subscription? I can go to community run sites (see my sig for one on gaming, not my website...) and get the same effect. When its community run, I get to chose, not some "editor". I will not be subscribing.
Its a dancing machine! Watch the ram as it tries the ever difficult Paranoia 190 in SSR mode! Hear the shouts as it completes a Boom Boom Dollar trick set! This ram is fly and got its groove on.
Could you imagine that trial? The total amount of worldwide (hell, even just american...) filesharers? That would kill them... The media would have to report on the sheer number of people, not to mention the number of famous, politically active, law enforcement, and other high profile people that would be involved. Hell, I bet even RIAA and MPAA members would be involved. It would halt any further litigation.
I use Gimp and whatever else I can. I'm afraid you seem to be tripping me up a bit, as I am not very knowleged yet. I have tried Gnome, but I didn't like it. Just not my cup of tea...
Telling a new Linux user to use both is just asking for trouble. I should know, I'm still a noob. I think I will be for a long time. Linux is tough, but it is a good pain.:)

Something tells me I've seen too much pr0n in my life...
Yes, it is cheaper, but how would you gain marketshare and readers to pay for your bandwidth, servers and employees? Especially to get such a thing started. Besides, would those poorer areas have enough bandwidth to pull an art heavy journal? Journals with lots of artwork are becoming more frequent, and I can assure you that these files are becoming larger and larger...
I've worked on journals for ACM, Kluwer/Academic and more. Where I work is where the prepress stuff is done, the actual building of the journal. Much more goes into these journals than picking submissions and throwing them all together. We have on staff editors who oversee the journals work and status, proofreaders (some of you submitters have worse spelling than Taco...), art scanners, art editors and coders/typesetters. I can see why you are angry at the cost of having your work printed, but even with typesetting done in India (New Delhi facility) we still make little over cost. Its just a fact of life that getting this all together, XML or Quark set, art edited and set, PDFs made and printed, and finally shipped and distributed, has a cost.
yes, its seem that way in this simple blurb I've placed here, but the total thought out process was far more in depth than this, and I currently don't have the time to post such a thing here right now. Maybe I'll place it in my K5 journal or something.
I'm working right now (*heh*) and I type too slow, I'll hafta type it up at home sometime...:)
Being a politician should be a volunteered public service, and no one should ever be allowed to make any money from doing such work. This would remove the "career politicians", cut down on cost (no salaries for them) and would force them to still be a working constituent as well as a politician.
Making a career out of politics is simply sickening
I've used jpeg2k and LDF (both designed for good quality, small size pictures), and I can tell you from experience that they are difficult at best. The file size is nice, but the compression slows down opening and saving files to a crawl. We've stuck with standard jpg and tif (as well as eps and illustrator formats) for all our image work here.

I take great insult at this comment.

It makes more sense when you think dog and god more similar than we originally thought...
but not for linux...

This is one of the best comments I've ever read on slashdot.
Too bad you posted it as an AC...
Oh well...
Yeah, I agree.

no, its "Dance Dance Revolution" ram...

Too many file sharing programs?
Uh oh... FTP, IRC... You're all shut down...
Sometimes software is made for a good use, but is used for purposes other than intended.

Memory stick I am guessing...
Sony has a technology known as "Magicgate" used to protect the data on their memory sticks and PS2 memory cards.
That is so damn funny, it made my day...

Especially when you think of the BSOD reflecting off Picard's shiny bald head...

Why are you telling a windows user to use both?
:)
I don't even use both. I'm a KDE man...

Then you run wine, right? ;)
Yes, you are correct, World of Warcraft, their MMORPG is in development, and uses Battle.net.
I'm sure this has something to do with that.
Homework and boredom console?

Doesn't the XBox already exist?

Ya Know what Stewart? I LIKE you... you're not like the other people, here in the trailer park...

replying to both of you...

No, the answer is this damned simple
Being a politician should be a volunteered public service, and no one should ever be allowed to make any money from doing such work. This would remove the "career politicians", cut down on cost (no salaries for them) and would force them to still be a working constituent as well as a politician.
