Dell can't send a computer out with no OS on it, then the computer would have NOTHING on it and Dell support would have to field questions about universes spontaneously being created on your hard drive.
Yeah that Insperion you sent me? Well it looks like it has negative entropy and isn't moving toward equilibrium... I think something is wrong with my singularity?
Whos going to own the data? I hope Google isnt going to say they do like they want to with the old books theyre scanning. Everytime you download a hubble picture will it have a google watermark?
In 10 years google will own just about all data worth owning. Then slashdoters will be railing on them instead of microsoft... or maybe google and MS will merge and collect our taxes too.
I work for a high school fixing the computers, and to most of the staff the state required web blocking software is a huge pain in the ass. Lots of times I get complaints about teachers not being able to get to web sites that are related to their lesson because of the sensitivity of the software. Also, a good number of the students know how to bypass it anyway. Although I could set up the teachers computers to bypass it, it is not allowed.
BRILL: I was a traffic analyst. I intercepted phone calls.
DEAN: How'd you get around the tap orders?
BRILL: They can tap anything as along as it's an airwave intercept. Cellulars and pagers your kid can do. Hard-line calls we'd pick off the relays as they were being fed into ground cables or fired up to the SATs. We'd suck in everything. All foreign, most domestic. Domestic was my group. Druggies, radicals, loud-mouths. Anyone we wanted.
DEAN: How'd you have the manpower to--
BRILL: Meade has 18 underground acres of computers. They scan every phonecall for target words like "bomb" or "President". We red-flag phone numbers or voice prints...whatever we wanted. When the computers found something, it was bounced to comparative analysis.
Slashdot Mirror
Use IP address. Use webalizer. People using cookies to log traffic raise internet traffic by 150%, how about that!
This just in! People who play Doom more likely to shoot classmates/co-workers!
PAH-LEASE, I call BS on this. Maybe people who would drive fast tent to play racing games, not the other way around.
Pronounce it "Lee-eh"; At least that is how I would do it as a Scandinavian.

People on Slashdot should also have to prove that they are "Professor Know-it-alls, PHD" that they claim to be.
Wonder how many of them will turn out to be just some 24 year old from Kentucky.

I know for a fact that this cloak gives you +12 Agility and +20 Charisma.
We all know that +5 is the safest you can enchant a Cloak of Magic Resistance. You must be playing in Wiz mode!

Forget porting Starcraft, port Warcraft 3!
Starcraft was great for its time, but Warcraft 3 is great now. If the DS can run that is an other story...
Here's a real weird one: what killed searching for Soviet Russia in 2004?
This isn't a complete answer but a strange coincidence...
