I realize that the holidays are here, on ed is getting married, one is recovering from a fire, and one left. The servers have moved, there are a few new features.
Great.
If I did this at my job I would be fired or hollered at.
Come on already. I love/. I spend too much time reading it as it is. Why must I have duped stories to wade through?
Moderation and the Friend/Foe system are supposed to make/. easier to read, by filtering out trolls and crapflooders. Perhaps it's time to allow the STORIES to be moderated. I enjoy reading all/. stories, because invaribly, I learn something, or get a new perspective on an issue or idea. Having valuable front page space taken up by something that was already discussed (on the same day!) only annoys the readers and surely affects the advertisers effectiveness.
I am only a reader and poster of rants and one-liners, sure, but I happen to like/. I hate to see it like this.
Perhaps I should have assumed there was a lack of attention to the site, when I sent a fixed flag icon to Taco, and never got a response - email or otherwise. I'd guess that Taco gets many emails asking questions, ranting about features, moderations, trolls, and plenty of spam. My note was purely friendly and included the new icon.
No response. No 'Thanks but no thanks', automated "Yoyre emial iz impotent to us". Nothing
That's it. Have a good Thanksgiving. Turkey....taking effect... sleeeeepy...so sleeeepy.... must fall to... floor....
Innocent until proven guilty sounded pretty good when we first came up with it. I don't care who the defendant is.
Wrong story to post this, but we're all in the same boat. Kinda like the guy who goes on a cruise, and wakes up one morning to find a shackle on his ankle, and an oar poking in his window. Soon we'll all be defendants, guilty until proven guilty. Whee.
I would *gasp* follow Apple's lead. Give up on windows. Start from stratch, with a new operating system that is well documented and code reviewed. Run windows virtually, just like Classic. Faze it out slowly. No backwards compatabillity.
I've acually thought that MS would buy out Connectix just as a bargaining chip against Jobs (apple).
OT - Why would Connectix *not* make a Virtual PC for Linux? Do they have a deal with MS? It seems to me that they could rake in the dough, hand over fist.
Virtual PC is great for 'trying out' untrusted software. It's too bad that Windows itself now fits that catagory. Run with it Bill!
Senator Hollings somehow managed to get all the monorails to converge on the Magic Kingdom where you *won't* be allowed to listen to "It's a Small World After All" and you will have to buy a seat license from Larry Ellingson.
I may be jumping the gun, but OpenBeos is making huge strides all the time. Beos has fewer applications, sure, but it also has a consistent interface, is easy to install, works well on older hardware, and easy to configure. It also has the advantage of being easy to code for, and doesn't have a million distros sapping the pool of developers.
There *is* a Linux based version called Blue-Eyed OS (YALD - yet another Linux distro), but I think that the speedy and efficient OpenBeos will make some waves, especially in the "Digital Hub" arena.
If you haven't tried it, you should see what I'm talking about. There is a free download at Bebits.com (in my sig) - Personal, Max and Max Lite distros are available.
I just got back from the Browser War. It was worse than the opening 5 minutes of Medal of Honor! Blood and plugins everywhere! The exploitable holes! The hastily applied patches! An orgy of clicking and death!
Perhaps a case made out of corn starch plastic, and rechargable batteries with a Battery Exchange Program in place. Offer 35% off a new battery only if you bring your used one in. Make it easy, and no batteries will end up in rivers or sand pits.
I didn't see any mention of ports, btw. How about a universal interface (serial?) that can control machinery like heaters, lights, feed dispensers, pumps and the like? I could see that being rather useful for irrigation or raising livestock. Of course timers work well, but something that could respond to real time data could be invaluable.

Thank you! I hate poor grammar and spelling. I won't make that mistake again.
And, while this is not a dupe per say, this story doesn't mention the old story from awhile ago.
Proof that turkey makes you lazy, the /. search doesn't work, or the eds don't read their own site? You decide.
Who cares? No one can read this at anything under 4 anyhow.
Great.

Hi, Freak.
by closing one eye.
No flame taken :) I tend to state the obvious in a roundabout manner. If it makes you feel any better, I'll meta that unfair if I see it. ;)

Civil Disobediance is rapidy becoming a moot point.
OR something FAR MORE SINISTER!

Lance Bass, Bill Gates, John Ashcroft, and the PanIP bastard all have a meeting underneath it at launch time.
'Cause it's going to be open season on carts that try to sell me shit.
Die, Squeek-Wheel, DIE!
So why did you foe me? Just curious.

Ain't enough 'O's in smooth to describe Beos.
Cyrix still makes processors??!
OH GOD, The Humanity!
Standard Model, no firmware issues. Open source, no worries about support. More rugged, and no one has to learn Graffiti.

I guess that's why we have kids.
Is it still a troll when I know it is and respond anyway? hehee
Or if you elected a Republican, the virtual world would get in SimWW3, you would be SimDrafted and SimKilled. SimWheee!
