I'm of the strong opinion that reminders of the Nazi era should be kept around and carefully studied so that the next time a similar group, such as Scientology, comes around the people will know it for what it is. If I'm not mistaken, Scientology is already banned in Germany.
I've read through most of the comments posted, and many refer to Hilary Rosen as "she," "her," etc.
I wonder if Mr. Rosen would be upset if he knew that a significant portion of Slashdot readers (and, possibly, the general population) thought he was a woman.
Kinda puts a smile on your face, huh?:-) Hilary Rosen IS a woman you idiot.
And how about those posts where someone misreads the title and then writes about it and it gets marked up as funny. Like, "whoa, who else misread the title as KDE 8.0 is Out? Weird. I'm a loser"

Yeah, but the fact remains that we'll still have to pay the levy on blank CDs that aren't used for music. How far are they eventually going to raise this levy to? How can an industry whose sales are down practically force consumers to reimburse them in this way. This is insane..
After doing some research, I recommended to my girlfriend that she buy an Acer laptop. The reasons were simple - it had a modem, ethernet, and wireless ethernet built in, it had a large 14" screen, and it was only 5.2 pounds with the dvd drive installed, 4.5 without, and came installed with Windows 2000.
And without Windows 2000 installed it was only 1 pound right?
This site has a pretty good explanation of quantum teleportation. It also shows why there would not be a duplicate copy of something that is teleported because it destroys the state of the original automatically.
Philips does, and according to the rules stated in the rule book on their web site:
This logo may only be used on discs complying with the CD-DA specification: IEC 60908 and/or the Philips-Sony Compact Disc Digital Audio System Description (also known as the RED Book)
Canadian airlines have been shut down too. And the Sears tower in Toronto has also been shut down.
Renting computer games

Rent-a-Game

About 6 years ago, here in Edmonton, Alberta there was this place you could rent computer games. The name of the place started with Circus(?) or something. Anyway, they charged $8 per 2 days. I don't know what ever happened to them, probaby got shut down.
You all say that Unix admins know more, or that open source programs have patches out faster, but what about all those people who know little about linux and install it. They can just as easily leave their computers unpatched, running 24/7 using some cable provider. More and more people are trying out linux, it doesn't mean all of them are smart. So of course the same thing can happen.
I see a lot of people are doing this. What steps do I have to take to register my own domain and get email from it? I just have DSL access, would I have to run my own mail server? And what about these DNS servers or something? Sorry, I'm not that clever, but It would be of help if I could get some more information. Thanks.
Hey does anyone know why since Mandrake 7.2, it always locks up my computer at the partition check? All it shows is Partition Check:
hda1 hda2 And it freezes right there.
Say the MS-Office suite is split off as a separate entity from the operating system. All of a sudden there is no particular advantage to NOT port Office to other OSes. They can still port to Apple/MacOS AND they can now port to Solaris, *BSD, BeOS, Linux... whatever. It would be a distinct advantage for the Office "baby bill" to do so. (More ports == more sales).
What makes you think that they will port Office? I don't think more ports==more sales.. It costs money, and there isn't as big of a user base for non-Windows ports. If all these other companies aren't porting software to other OSes, why would the Microsoft Application company do it?

I assure you, this isn't flamebait, although some may preceive it as such.
What, exactly, is the difference between the integration of Windows and IE vs the integration of KE and Konqueror?
There is no real difference, except that Microsoft uses its MONOPOLY power to do this, which is bad.

So $1500 in CDN dollars is about $2500. Add on Canada's new $21/GB x 40 GB copy protection "levy" is $840. Wow, $3340.
So what? Just copy it and install it off that.
Does it have 2 player battles like some of the previous FF's? Where the second player can control some characters during a fight?

I think one thing that has to be done is speed up the debit card process. It takes so long to approve a transaction.

Just so you know, this site has links to all kinds of weird programming languages.
Maybe? Its Microsoft, of course it will slip.

Still, it comes down to the fact that its the users themselves who are actually in the wrong.
Holy shit.. is that why I can't pick up this 100.3 FM station at my house where my computer is? I have a 100MHz BUS..?

Well, its an anonymous ftp site, so what's the big deal?
It all boils down to one thing.. If animals weren't meant to be eaten, they wouldn't have been made out of meat.
Yeah, but at least this is free.
