Well, thank you all you energetic pedants, but I assure you, the crap on the internet isn't limited to crap encoded in HTML, which was publishs 88/89. Gopher and Veronica had a fair amount of garbage on them too, but you wouldn't know that because you were in nappies at the time.
Think before you open your pedantic mouth and say something f*cking stupid.
Beleive me, there is no point worth getting. This is the lamest excuse for content I've ever seen, which is quite an acheivement considering my 15 years of web browsing...
It's actually a language they use at many universities - ML is one of the best languages for teaching people inheritance and recursion, and all you short-sighted anti-MS losers might actually by suprised that F# is just an implentation of ML.
Not that I imagine any of my target audience will read this, but ML happens to have one of the lowest inherent grammer contents of any language - much lower than C - it's a superb language for teaching people the ideals of programming without letting them get attached to syntax.
But hey, that doesnt matter ; this is slashdot ; Microsoft -> Bad, thats all that matters, isn'it it?
Pricks.
Are we all/absolutely/ sure that the MPAA isn't just one, long, extended April fools joke in bad taste? I mean, no government would sue their people for learning things, right? Especially not things they're encouraged, and even taxed, to buy?
If we can't sample music, listen to music, and now we can't know anything about the music - how am I supposed to know what to buy?
To put a pro-linux spin on this. I mean, there are no new links in this article that in any way add anything pro-linux to a very old story, and yet they still manage to make it sound as though linux (as usual) is perfect and always in the right
When are slashdot going to grow up, escape their linux-centric origins, and start being a fair,unbiased newssource again?
Yeah, theres only 2 problems with that - firstly they're unlikely to check before getting a court order to kick down your door and check your harddrive.
Secondly, if you check into the small print of the RIP bill (in the UK) or the DMCA (in the USA), it's been a criminal offence to refuse to hand over your encryption keys to the.gov since 1998. You'd probably be in less trouble if you admitted to piracy, which is exactly what they want.
If you have a master server, it's not peer to peer, is it? Thats what peer to peer means, 1 peer goes to another peer. I don't know how to make it any more obvious ; peer2peer means/without/ a central server.
You can't have a completely anonymous peer2peer system. Any system that requires your peer to connect to another will always comprimise your anonymity.
Absolutely. I mean, who cares if it's propriety? Sure, it fits in with the nice free-software-is-great mentality, but lets just sanity check that for a second : Who here has a completely legal MP3 collection? With the MPAA charging $125k a track for pirated music, do the technical symantics of the EULA of your music players file format (not the player, the format) matter that much?
If you love free as in sunshine software, and pride yourself on using open protocols your allowed to : STOP COPYING MUSIC. If you want free music, accept your ripping people off, and do the whole job
It just seems to me that with all the self-praising of opensource slashdot does, it's shooting itself in the foot - haven't you seen any of the rocky films ; it's always the underdog who wins ; free software can only improve while people will admit it needs improving, and thats not going to happen with all the brown-noses on slashdot.
Sorry - I didn't mean linux is not gaining popularity - it obviously is, as I remember before it was invented, and no one used it:P
I simply mean that repeating this fact over and over like rainman to convince yourself its true, as seems to be the passtime on slashdot, is neither productive nor healthy.
OGG is/NOT/ gaining in popularity you biggotted linux weenies. Linux is not the best operating system, and no one cares if OGG is slightly better than MP3 - people have MP3 collections, and they're not about to re-rip to OGG for the hell of it.
I mean, by all means have opinions, but while you live in your closed-eyes, hands-over-ears, linux-is-the-only-option-and-it's-gaining-populari ty world, what are you going to acheive? fuck all, thats what, just like in real life.
Slashdot Mirror
This evil can't come to an end soon enough.
How can something that hasn't been rated be overrated, for f*cks sake?
I, for one, welcome our new fractional overlords.
You could now, you lazy fsck, just get off yer ass and learn.
Am I the only one who read that as Urinate first time round? Probably...

Thats exactly my point, I know of more amusing deseases. 3 pages, 1 picture, 0 joke.

What the F*ck passed for a story on slashdot these days? This isn't news, it's hardly english, and it certainly doesn't warrant anyones attention
You cretin, you think anything that decompiles that cleanly was written in GCC? Microsoft Visual C++? :p
