That has a different definition to me, this looks more like just an absence of ' stuff '.
A 'hole' to me, would make the assumption there is 'tear' and there is an 'other side' involved. I don't see either in this story. ( nor would there be much of a way to prove a hole either.. )
If this is proven to be fact ( and i dont think this really *proves* anything. Its still theory ), how is this going to sit with the religions of the world that truly think we are the only ones 'god' created?
No, i disagree. The problem with public employees talking is that most dont truly understand what is ok to talk about and what isn't, or even if they have the complete story or not. ( often they THINK they do, but really dont and only cause confusion by speaking )
Its a lot like a corporate person making statements about their company. It really is a bad idea and justa asking for trouble.
Having a central point of contact for communication is a good ting, it keeps information correct and safely dispersed.
Ads: Better solution to the ad bandwidth usage is to charge the people pushing the ad more. ( yes i know the charge will filter down to the conusmer ). if the charge is high enough the overly bloated ad campaigns will end.
Spam: Im speaking a a higher level up the food chain in this case, you may not actually see the spam, bt your university does. Even if its filterd out for you at the user level , the bandwidth was still wasted. I have this problem with my persoal dmain. And yes, 10000 a day isnt uneard of. At my office ( different domain ) we see 10x that on a daily basis. ( but with 30000 users, thats to be expected )
DoS: ya, hang em! But its still a potential hit on my cable bill if we goto a pure charge per use..
Tecincal understanding: Sorry, i dont agree. Its far too much to ask for non techincal people to understand something they shouldn't. In your proposal you would demand that people understand their cars, homes, electrical power generation, pretty much everything in their lives. Thats why people use 'service providers'. They 'service guy' is expected to understand the inner workings. While something may be 'self apparent' and easy to learn to you, it may not be for them ( nor should it ). And i bet there are many things you dont understand either. Do you want to be held liable for it? Holding the trained service provider liable beyond any low level of 'common sence' would be the correct way, like we do now for drivers licenses. We hold Ford liable on the technical end to sell us safe cars, or the local power grid not to melt our house by accident, or the bank not to give away our money to the wrong people, or how about the doctor to not cut off the wrong body part in surgery..
Slashdot Mirror
Are tomorrows enemies. And vice-versa.
And sure, open-source can be used by the enemy. Much as stolen closed source ( be it software, or weapons manufacturing technology ) can be.
It depends on the magazine.
Some can compete, others cant.
If its 'open' its mine to do with as i please.

He plead guilty.
Hes a fool anyway.

My concepts of morality is all that matters when I'm the customer.. its my way or the hiway.
The insanity continues.

Yet another reason why vinyl is still better.
I agree with #1 and #3. I detest commercials. Not that my lack of viewing will make a dent, but at least i wont be pissed off about it.
And i realize that people have to eat, but Commercialism/Marketing has gone way to far in general.
Linux-only? Or mac, or bsd, or or or.
Last i heard, it would only create some sort of bastardized python code that was no longer cross platform.
Sort of useless.
Anyone else have a bad feeling abut this?
No, its called blockage at the office.
Rather restrictive filters.
Modifying the content to suit some suits concept of morality isnt ok. ( i wont call it censorship, since only a government can do that )
Really? Who would have ever imagined?
Ok, i missed the 'replica' part of the story ( couldnt read the full article ). So hes just a wierdo then.
This is really uncool. You are not supposed to destroy one of a kind movie props.
Moron.
If so, then by all means go ahead. If not, then 2 wrongs don't make a right. ( or is that 2 lefts make you go backwards? )
When we are talking a 3x5" screen to start with, ya.
There was an optional external video display for the osborne. But that does sort of blow it being portable.
I do believe they do have some Core memory cards on display.
Thats why none of our prototypes ever got off the ground. Storage meida was just to expensive and compression was limited.
