Dave Gould's page (no offense Dave) of the "2001 Stuff of the year" has nothing to do with 2001. How do a 1992 Mazda Miata and a 1984 (!) pickup truck end up as "best vehicles of 2001". Perhaps this page should be best labeled as "Page 'o My Favorite Stuff." "My Dad" and "My Ex," I'm sorry, aren't high-caliber candidates for "Person of the Year." Shit, I could come up with this stuff! Although I'll agree with you on the Art Bell rating -- and the Entertainment page.
To reduce vomiting, and for your own safety's sake, do NOT view this picture of the chick from the 'Slashdot Couple' (linked from the article above)... Hint: you do not look good in a bathing suit, and rubbing up against a pole doesn't help either, tootsie. Excuse me while I go take half-naked pictures of myself and submit them in a story labled "Hottest new things of 2002"......
I'm sure they want to do that, since Apple has a monopoly on Apple hardware. If you want OS X, you need to buy Apple hardware. Pretty good business strategy in my opinion! Plus Apple hardware is uber-kool anyway...
You know, I've bought tons of closed source software, and every day I go to my mailbox and I can't seem to find my bill from Microsoft, asking for my monthly fee for that copy of Windows 3.1 I bought in 1992. Hmmm.... you know, I only recall paying ONCE for all the software programs I bought. Well, off to the mailbox again, I'll see if my Visual Studio Rent has come in.
Ahh, but see... are we living in a world to kill 'Excel, the Great Satan,' or should we be trying to make the two interoperate flawlessly? I really pride Excel on its embedding features... a step needs to be made to provide a bridge between the two.
Although GNumeric is a great program, and I appreciate the effort, it is not Excel. Nor will it ever be Excel. Nice free alternative for Linux, but if you don't want to settle for anything but the best, go for Excel.
What is sad is that Slashdot moderators moderate stuff as 'Troll' if they don't agree with it... not restraining it when someone is legitimately trolling. Which is why I don't really care anymore... this place while heralded as a place of free speech, is really a place of 'free speech... if we agree with it...'
I totally agree with your view. This article isn't 'news for nerds' but 'news for libertarians.' Not all nerds are libertarians.
Wrong! IIS does not run as system! Instead, it runs as IUSR_[servername]. A sepearate login like www or nobody. Right. Get the facts straight before you flame Microsoft.

Troll!
Really? Unfortunately I've never seen this myself. My Win2k box has never crashed on me. Never. Not once.
For you uneducated ("l33t") people, it's called a "STOP error." The indeciperable text is actually a description of the exception! Includes a core dump too. Something you might refer to as a 'kernel panic' or 'kernel oops'...
Anyway, if you ever want to see a screen of indecipherable text, just 'cat [any binary file]'. That'll help fuck up your terminal. Oh wait, that never happens in Windows.

Yeah but that was back in dem olden-days. That's all they had available. Now, it's like saying, "let's go buy a 16 MHz proc... cause we can."
The last thing you want is an application to slow down when you're up in the air.... Maybe they should switch to Embedded Linux!
If you're referring to the link in my .sig, I didn't write that. I found it very moving and worthy of linkage, however. :)

Since you've never used it, you don't know how customizable it is. You can also revert to the 'classic' interface if you want.

That's cause I'm not trying to be a troll! I just tell it like it is!

You're right. He can now make ASCII images of porn, and jack off to text.
Yes. Trash the partition and install Windows or MacOSX.
