This is not about rich and poor. This is about paying unnecessary tax. Remember the Boston Tea Party followed by the American revolutionary war?
The digital divide is pretty serious. There are alot of politicians in power who are non-technical and quite frankly want to spoil hi-tech for the next 200 years.
It's not Americans vs the Brits anymore. These politicans would love to pass a broadband tax just for starters. After so many techies retiring after the.com boom, they have to be at least alittle jealous.
Economy collapse?! The real estate industry is single handedly holding the economy too high. High-tech is exactly where it should be, go blame the real estate industry.
Between the interest rates not rising fast enough, and the Feds babying real estate as the only thing left. The average joe has to work their ass off in a low salary economy to feed real estate agents and rentlords. Don't blame slashdotters. At least techies have skills. Real estate agents just bullshit for a living.
Tell me about it. The 2D sidescroller was the most abandoned technology in history. I'd love another version of Castlevania SOTN, Golden Axe, Final Fight.
I still think the original mortal kombat games using 2D photographic motion looks better than today's mortal kombat 3D. Why abandon it??
The Sega Genesis 6-button is still to this day IMHO the supreme controller.
Having 2 rows of the 3 buttons side by side is perfect. Nubytech tried to release these with the Streetfighter paintjob, but the L1, R1 buttons are still not as good as the genesis days.
The control pad was also ultra soft and loose. Your thumb was not stressed from doing 30 million down->forward fireballs.
There is a link to Zap2it, but wasn't there a slashdot article not too long ago about Zap2it beginning to block users due to high traffic etc. Something like changing their format would render MythTv useless? I am really curious to know if it's possible.

Is it me or do WB shows have a life span of 2 seasons at most? They should beg people to download their stuff, come with free virus scanners and games.
AMD clearly have the better product now, so no excuse. Their marketing and sales strategy are downright uncreative. You should not have to resolve to court with a more superior product.
The AMD engineers did their job, I just don't think the business end is competing even in the same league as Intel.
I don't know why so many people are complaining. 13.1 should be a dream come true. You can utilize your old speakers AND listen in the bathroom. Now that's luxury.
After seeing fedora core 4 crash with the eclipse that it comes with natively, I am skeptical of all new distros and features.
We are at the point where we release too fast squeezing everything into every version on every distro. I am starting to think 2 releases a year is a rush.
Look everyone. Let's hope PS3 or Xbox 360 will render PC gaming obsolete. After that most of us wouldn't even need a reason to have windows OS at home.
First off no one has 6 players in their hand to compare.
Secondly people aren't going to make their buying decisions on a button. If so, we would all be owning macs over PCs.
Thirdly as an iPod owner/early adopter myself even I admit the iPod-supreme days are over. My battery is already toast, I don't want to deal with the battery exchange hassle even though Apple lost the law suit.
Quite frankly the iRiver players ain't bad at all. Their H10 remix blue color looks unique enough for me. I am sick of seeing white, pink, and green. WTF was apple thinking.
That is only true if you can assign certain.EXE to run on the 1st core. Then the game EXE to run on the 2nd core. While winXP does allow you to do that, there is too much debate as to whether XP separate jobs to different processors well enough.
The old comcast that was mediaone was terrible. The phone service and politeness was there, but the technology wasn't. I actually got refunds for keeping track of so many downed hours.
The later AT&T was actually better in technology, but honestly comcast now is by far the best. It's up 95% of the time.
If an American is christian and don't support Bush, doesn't mean he/she is a dumbass. At least I hope you were kidding, since not supporting Bush is automatically +20 IQ... now that I am not kidding.
The keyword being "SURVEY". Any statistics based on surveys are debatable. You ask me how many linux box I have, I'll scream 20 just for the hell of it.
If Sony absolutely TANK the price of UMD disks to half that of a regular DVD, it'll becoming a real contender. Until then, UMD continues to get bad press at record breaking level. And bad press is really hard to shake off.
Slashdot Mirror
That's the best question on the list. If you didn't say it was a joke, would have gotten +25 Insightful.

If someone bought a pizza and it became contaminated in 3 minutes via thin air, that shop should be closed. M$ should have been closed long ago lol.

Running elipse crashes most people's PCs. So far eclipse on fedora core 4 already have a bad reputation.

Overall AMD need to revamp their business side.

Finally someone write a poem that actually sounds good and MAKE SENSE. So many bad slashdot poets out there.

Actually shoreline firewall software for linux will do as much as the very EXPENSIVE highend Cisco Pix. We researched the hell out of this one.
The Pix 500 is the lower-end one with limitation. Why pay, when you can get the software at www.shorewall.net for 100% FREE.

Windows is good for games AND testing viruses.
If you're a virus-writer, there is no better platform. No joke. Windows is elite/heaven for this kind of stuff.
