And you didn't see this coming? True or not, Bill is grinning right now. "Oh.. they got some code from back in 2000... woopi.. Oh.. The box it was taken from was a Linux box.. perfect for pointing out how insecure linux really is!!!" Lame.. nothing is going to change.. lets just move on to the next SCO article.:-/ *Snore*
You get what you pay for? Ok, if they think they NEED to pay for proven software, then they can pay Redhat for their Enterprise line of products. Pay or not, its 100% better than running windows in my opinion. Of course, the site that hosts my online banking runs Windows 2000 servers, and I haven't seen them have a problem yet, but I'm guessing if they did, they wouldn't let anyone know anytime soon.:-/
If you like movies that don't have 100% happy endings
I think that is the problem here. Everyone is pissed about a bad ending. Romeo and Juliet didn't have the greatest ending. Need I say more.:-) (Yeah, the example is simple, I'll keep it that way, this is slashdot after all).
Its skynet! Its taking over! Pretty soon it'll become self aware and launch all the nukes!! AHHHHHH! Ok.. Its time for me to stop watching so many scifi flicks.:-/

'The UK's broadband boom is likely to falter unless more progress is made towards combating digital piracy'
I think what they are trying to say is: 'We can't offord for people to actually use the bandwidth we sold them, you must get rid of bandwidth clogging mp3s and movies so we can survive selling 1mbit connectivity, even though we can't support all of our users actually using that 1mbit'
ok thats kinda drawn out, but I think thats kinda what they are saying.
Banjo's are fun too. Just don't play any copyrighted tunes, or RIAA will come down on you with their nazi lawyers. And they'll sue your dad, and take naked pictures of your mom and put them all over the internet! Ugh... Can't we all just... get along? RIAA... is it so bad being a pathetic gimpy bitch that you have to lash out at everyone?
hell, if your even lazier than that, just make a webpage that can launch all that stuff. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that you could write some funky html/activex/who knows what that could just launch from a full screen web browser. Point is, you got a plethera of programs out there, use them!
It was the obligatory "Forget about sex once your married" joke. I get pleanty since we are working on a kid >=). After that I'm my sex life will go dormant.:-d
At the same time, if your married (which I am) and not getting laid, then you shouldn't be married. Then again, when you get married you rarely have sex anymore.. Guess thats why I'm still here.:-)
I think this is great and all... But thats like.. one week of unproductivity. I haven't tried this... but like.. I'm guessing for slower users, the first week would lose some serious time.
Day 1: 30 minutes to figure the thing out and play with it
Day 2: 20 minutes to figure it all out again
Day 3: 25 minutes to figure it out and show it off to all of your friends/coworkers
Day 4: 25 minutes to try and remember in your head, but end up having to go do the pictures again
Day 5: Its friday.. I aint even loggin in.
I'm not saying thats the way it is, but that is the first thing that strikes me.
Now, thats not a whole lot of lost time right? Take that times the number of people in your office... 10? 20? 50? 100? 1000? You end up losing thousands of man hours just playing with the stupid thing.. Then again.. how many man hours does slashdot cost the IT industry?:-d
I was on 56K untill 2 months ago when I picked up 128K DSL for the same price.. Google is fast enough for me on that. I do sit on a T1 at work, and use google alot there. And I have no problem going home and using Google on my "slower connection" People just need to learn fscking wait.
Anyways.. We should pick on the people with slow sites that need to move their webserver off of their momma's 14.4 and get it on something a bit faster.:-)
*perk*? Well, consider it doesn't even require artificial intelligence. Its just a mater of recognizing a pattern, and responding to that pattern in a pre-programmed way. You could consider making it a bit more difficult, like having a sound file with a person saying "In the box bellow, please enter the sum of three plus five". Something to that effect. But eventually a pattern could be programmed to work around that even. I hate to say this.. but this almost makes for a good example where "Centralized computing" would be usefull. Like passport. You sign in when you first get on, and you don't have to do these stupid authentication tests. On the other hand, I don't like the idea of having 1 login, and 1 company having all my data. Its just asking to get cracked you know.:-/
I know.. fscking prior art anyways.:-/ Its just funnier with a monkey.:-) (BTW, I have Spaceballs, Got it at Target in the "Bargain bin" of stuff they were throwing away. Nothing like good movies for $2.50:-)
They said nothing about the source.. unless I missed that part.. They want the standards opened up. The OSS peoples still have to code their own stuff, but they atleast have standards to code by then.
*Falls over laughing*. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that likes things to be right out in the open. I second Goldberg's Pants' remark. DOWN WITH CUNTS IN THE SENATE! Oh wait.. then we'd have to replace everyone.:-d I better shut up.. I can see some stupid fuck senator like.. Hatch maybe, seeing my post and saying "Oh, he speaks of over throwing the government, BLOW UP HIS COMPUTER!!!" and next thing I know I'm a terrorist and uhg...;-/ *goes back to bed*
Slashdot Mirror
I remember seeing this too, a LONG time ago. And they ran a story similar to this about 2 weeks ago. Nothing new here people, move along. :|
Ah, none of the pros YOU know read slash. Mistake on my part. :)
None of them read slashdot? Try again. :)
This has been around for years. I remember seeing the Japanese doing this with fibre optics probably 5+ or so years ago.
Music sounds the same from an MP3 as it does from a CD. However, I enjoy movies ALOT better on a HUGE projector screen than on my 17" monitor. :-)

Yeah, but still, their could be loads and loads of code that is similar. How are we supposed to know what code they are specifically speaking of?
