I'm all for this. PERSONALLY I don't use a floppy since my OS's cd's are bootable and I can get to a "dos" prompt if needed from there - HOWEVER I do see lots of people (mostly college kids) who come into Kinkos with there report done in word and want to print it out - and they bring in a FLOPPY - the smart ones bring in zip disks or jaz cartridges (I would include cd - but they ALWAYS need to make changes and save the file again) but for the ones who don't know anything about a computer other than that they needed to use one in order to pass there class there using floppies - and yes MOST slashdotters will no doubt say good riddance to the floppy I don't need it in my l33t h4x0r self compiled kernal linux box with my self-rolled dsl - but for the MAJORITY of people in THE REAL WORLD who don't care about the latest advances in the mapping of the human DNA structure or that macs come in prettier collors than most pc's - they still use floppies.
LoL thats funny. - I like how if MS Office starts up and thinks its reinstalling itself - thats somehow related to 17+ dir in the c: drive - WTF? Exactly - This is a hella funny article - even if it's total BS.
on the articles comment about having fish in the water tubes - it made me wonder - has anyone made a sace mod featureing water and fish for there desktop - i'd imagine this wouldn't be to hard to do if you took one of the glas case mods and attached a fish bowl to the side of it -with the top being inside the system so you could see the fish from the outside - i think if i did i in my system the fish would die from heat - but just a thought.

true - most current 3d games have editors that you can use provided you have the game
HOWEVER
RPGMAKER 2000 (www.rpg-maker.com)
this program allows you to make 2d rpg games on windows that self compile and will run stand alone on any windows platform (ie: windows 95-nt-98-2k-xp-etc..)
BUT
most people don't want to play 2d rpg's as well as a lot of people shun those who create modules for PnP games - unfortunate for us
"Of course the superior performance of 802.11a offers excellent support for bandwidth hungry applications, but the higher operating frequency equates to relatively shorter range. I've seen demonstrations of 802.11a radios delivering 54 Mbps with distances of about 60 feet, which is far less than the 300 feet or so that you'll have with 802.11b systems. As compared to 802.11b, you'll need a much larger number of 802.11a access points to cover a facility, especially large ones."
More at 802.11b vs 802.11a here http://www.80211-planet.com/columns/article/ 0,4000,1781_961181,00.html
Keep in mind there is also a technology called "BlueTooth" that has come out which acts the same as 802.11b but as far as I know is NOT IEEE standard.
How about they make 1 dvd that is just the movie (as shown in theatres) and 1 special edition package that has ALL the extras. the current generation buys the regular dvd the "hardcore fans" buy the special edition.
that way everyone gets what they want - I for one will NOT buy 2 sets of the same god dam movie just so i get MORE extra scenes - that is Re-GoD-DaM-iKuLuS (worse than my spelling) when TPTB do this it makes me just want to warez a decent copy of the movie or steal both versions NOT PAY FOR 2.
Its like that stupid pokemon that you could only get if you were the first 100 people who went to see the movie. wtf? i have plenty of pokemon already why do i need to go see a movie to GET MORE (aka BUY MORE)
Why is this surprising - First off NO ANTI-SPAM SOFTWARE IS PERFECT - don't get me wrong - spamassassin, block lists, and junk mail folders are great tools, but they are not going to be 100% accurate 100% of the time - get real. The programs are meant to help filter MOST of the junk out - BUT occasionally you WILL have legitimate email that gets flagged as spam for BEING IN ALL CAPS (because your grandma just got email and couldn't find the aps lock key) or maybe its from a foreign site *.ru, *.uk (A friend on vacation is using there new russian friends email to send you a note) who knows SOMETHING CAN AND WILL OCCASIONALLY GO WRONG - it happens all the time - until we are perfect creatures of pure thought provoking goo as in EVA we will have missed emails and spam - it might not always be AS BAD but it WILL NEVER BE PERFECT
I cant seem to get to the page - anyway I heard that you can only play as a human ONLY - is this true? if so I think thats kinda lame considering all the different types of races i'd rather be. I get to be a human 7 days a week for the rest of my life - if I play a game I want to be soemthing different.
I agree - my girl-friend never read the books and I have her believing gandolf is dead - now I just got to keep her from seeing any of the previews - oh well
ummm, ok first of off - im not a christian - i'd be considered an agnostic (sonmeone who belives in a higher power that does not influenece AT ALL any of our mortal everyday lives) if you associate the word "god" with christian please allow me to enlighten you with the other gazillion religions that use the word "god/diety" and yes when your seven you can make the decision - BECAUSE when I was in 2nd grade (lets see that would have made me about 4yrs old) i chose not to say the pledge because I WAS NOT A US CITIZEN and i could understand that so if i could do it at 4yrs then if someone has a problem at 7 thats there own damn fault - or the fault of there parents for raising an ignorant kid - it would be like saying a 7 year can't make the choice between hopping in a strangers car or not - and it is a FACT that most of the founding fathers BELIEVED IN A GOD (noticed i said A god - not christian god) because they put it in all our fundamentals (ie: when you go to court you SWEAR ON A BIBLE
and on another note by your argument - if the majority of people = X than X is the majority and represents the MAJORITY of the nation - although I think the majority are agnostic
true atheism is very RARE - to this day i only know of one TRUE ATHEIST in all the people I talk to - so saying "god" could be associated with agnostic which IS the majority and DOES represent the nations (by popular vote MOST people DO believe in A "higher power")
and if you TRULY are an atheist then i do hope the next time you get in a traffic jam you aren't using the term "JESUS CHRIST" since that would point more towards your own issues with christianity than anything else.:)
(in my opinion) I do think that having the words "under god" is (not pushing religion) but definately gives a religious jab to you when you say it, so I can see why the court ruled the way they did - HOWEVER the word "god" is mixed in with just about every piece of our governments fundamental elements so unless someone REALLY ANAL wants to go through and REDO EVERYTHING - there isnt any point in actually trying to change our pledge or getting any type of settlement for hearing it at school. IT IS A CHOICE to say it at school - you don't have to say the pledge or even stand if you don't want to.

Is Linux Dead?
·
· Score: 1
I stopped reading the article when I got to
"With some 27 percent of the market, Linux is now the second most popular operating system for servers, supplanting the decades-old operating system UNIX; Microsoft holds the top spot."
So... 1) Linux has 27% market for servers
2) Linux is second most popular for servers
3) Linux has beated out Unix (so unix =26% or less)
4) M$ holds the top spot for server OS's
so i'm to assume that some version of windows is sitting on about 50%(yes I know theres others im not looking at you amiga and osX fans but roughly) of the servers out there? LoL
"What do you think, are we putting our favorite bands in a bind?"
No his new album just sucks so I won't buy it - "play" was pretty good and after downloading it I bought it because generally if theres more than 3 songs on an album I like I will end up buying it.
all I want is for the "big bills" (for me thats anything over a 20 dollar bill) to be Pink so I know what to grab from people and not waste time on those smaller notes:)

ok
as the windows pc user is constantly having crashes on his $500 machine filled with free pirated software
the mac user is bitching about a new $100+ software upgrade that comes out for his $1500+ imac (software not pirated)
when the hell am i going to be able to afford a mac outside having my work pay for one?
maybe i should switch to a pc/linux combo...

yeah but think of all the korean chicks sending them there nudy pics
after each job i leave i like to take something with me - like whne i left kinkos i took an 8gig external scsi drive and a usb zip drive.
when i go into frys or compusa i like to delete the windows program files folder - and then watch someone try and show a customer the computer.
