Might be a good way for musicians to distribute music, and vote the cream to the top. But people *reading* their news? I can barely stand listening to regular people talk (Here in MN).
God forbid someone from Minnesota reads the news.

The oral tradition! Have many children, give them each 10 pages to memorize. To make things easier, you can name them Sector 237, Cylinder 13004 and such.
As disk space grows, so does your family/backup.
To see examples of how this works see: Mad Max - Thunderdome, The Bible, American Indians, The Fellowship of the Ring, Aesops Fables, and the Legend of How the Great Nog Vomited the Earth and Heavens in Ancient Times, Before the Oceans Drank Atlantis.
I have heard rumors that this is how Google archives.
especially since he's a white supremacist child molester who beats his neighbors dog and spits on old ladies' social security checks while wanking off in the food at the local soup kitchen watching beastiality porn.
First, I can't get.5 to install under XP..4 is working fine, but.5 just gives me a hourglass for a second or two, and then nothing. I've tried running the profile manager and deleteting the old one and copying over the.4 install but nothing works.
Second, the damn autocomplete! How do I turn it off? I hate the little pop up window which contains all my moments of shameful spelling and such in the google search, as well as the login, search, text ect. fields of every site.
Am I missing something obvious (like a high school education)? Thanks.
Please no 15 link posts! (Score:0, Offtopic)
by Vellmont This submission has no less than 15 links in it! I'm still not sure where the real content is. Worse, what appears to be the main link points to another few line discussion that references yet another article.
Posters, and especially editors, Please don't post/allow submissions that are filled with nothing but links, and links to links. You may think you're providing more information, but most of those links are just noise. This seems to be an emerging trend on slashdot, and I think it's a very bad one.
Taking a slight tangent for just a moment, sadly, the biggest problem with slashdot is there's never any real discussion (mostly that would involve the editors) about slashdot itself. There's constantly re-posts of material, and poor quality submissions. This needs to be fixed somehow, but can't happen unless the slashdot editors start talking about this problems and not just remain silent.

""sadly, the biggest problem with slashdot is there's never any real discussion (mostly that would involve the editors) about slashdot itself.""
the problem lies not just with the editors but with everyone on slashdot (especially whoever happens to be moderating). anytime people (like you) actually comment about slashdot (even when its not a troll and is a cogent point, like yours is), it is moderated down, offtopic, or just ignored (as your post was).
it's the built-in self-censorship that's the problem. not only does it limit the voices heard loudest on slashdot, but it prevents fixing of the very socially dysfunctional way slashdot works a lot of the time.
Write "RIAA" on the ol' Roman Soldier. Go to congress, computer makers, software houses, chip manufacturers, the U.S Military, major universities, corporations, foreign governments and congress. Did I say congress? Congress.
Stand around.

The tech is *available*! I could go and buy it, if 6,000 dollars seemed like a good trade off for what this does. Admittedly, it doesn't. A UPS or a internal combustion generator will do the same for much less.
If I could pour water in this thing and have it make hydrogen for itself, that might increase its usefulness.
Or if I hooked up a dehumidifier to it, and put it on top so the water would run into the fuel making tank....OMG!
I've just invented a Perpetual Motion machine!
Of course, having water around servers and switches makes for the Worlds Most Dangerous Server Room and many headaches...so maybe I've invented the Perpetual Motrin Machine.
