Although if ALL web developers DID take a stand against IE, Microsoft would certainly fix IE all the way back to IE6 - they would never risk losing that much share. This will never happen.
I spent many weeks looking around for the simplest video chat for use with technophobes and computer noobs.
http://www.koowy.com/ was the easiest by far. Flash (so pretty much multi platform), one on one is high quality, if they can click a link - they can chat! (click link, click Yes to camera access, you're chatting), no software setup. Private rooms, no BS like most chat sites, group chat also is just as easy but not as good quality (but still fair).
I don't expect the site to stay normal forever, but it is pretty old.
I also don't know if they record everything, I'd assume that one on one is P2P but I have no idea.
The fact that someone did 'research into spam filters' is not news - the answer to the question is the news. It would have fit in the summary, so why not just.. bugger it, time to move to a real news site.
Unfortunately slashdot is now worse than it used to be. I hate all the stupid story headings (the ones which are attention grabbing, but wrong - USA PRESIDENT DIES!!!.... Article reads: his hair.) and product promoting. It has become boring, catering to the average user rather than the "nerd".
Windows does everything that windows does, so people who are used to windows don't need the features that windows doesn't have, because they don't use them or know about them. Is that right?
I bet you would use an "Automatic Program Downloader" - which lists thousands of free programs and lets you install any program you like, for free, automatic setup. Because "Linux" does that and windows does not (almost any Linux distro that a novice would use will do this easily, see Ubunutu, PClinux).
Well considering all the alarmist/shock tactic headlines and general product promotion type news that regularly gets approved along with all the dupes and spelling/grammar errors....
I would say the nerd factor is much lower than it once was - when slashdot was good!
Eck, just watched the promo. Seemed very contrived, aiming for the lowest common demoninators. Just super heroes playing out a predetermined destiny (again) with "cool" backing music and a lot of unnesessary titilation thrown in. I got bored half way through the ad. Yay someone found a magic book, every superwoman gets involved and kills tons of mindless supporting cast, BTW we got sexy chicks plz watch k thx pay me.
I just use it because it costs no money and I prefer not to be breaking the law by pirating software. I do not want to see source code and I don't want to have to work out what to download and I really really don't want to go anywhere near software which does needs to be compiled before it can be used. Because I am a user, not a developer.
You're right. Freedom software should just be called Freedomware or something else. We all know that there can be conditions - but no non-freedom software is EVER going to use a word which sounds slightly damaging, there is no point.
Freeware was here first, software which was free to buy. Don't care about hidden catches really.
Freedom software, came later(? as far as the average person cares anyway). Use some other word, please. Thanks.
"Free as in beer" DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. When will programmers learn? No one understands it - it can be interpreted many ways and only confuses people. I'm sorry, but it makes things HARDER to understand when you mix in unrelated comparisons.
Can we spell draft kids? D-R-A-F-T. An unfinished book was called a draaaaaaaaft.... Very good boys and girls. Now that we have an internets we call every unfinished item a "BETA".
That works when the land usage is equal, but the vegan is using 1/10th of the land remember, so he can spare 9/10ths of his land to be anything he else and therefore win this debate by a long shot. Or we can go comparing apples to oranges.
don't forget that most of the meat industry is not interested in this proper grazing, they want maximum throughput and use cheap grain as food - otherwise there is no possible way at all to maintain cheap meat to massive countries. people want it, I want it and no one is giving it up until it kills most of their friends.
Slashdot Mirror
but they can just change the javascript at any time, and using random methods
incorrect effort at argument. freedom of speech does not relate to random drivel.
Slashdot loves clickbait. time to find a real news site.

better to have grammar errors than misleading titles that just plain lie to get you to read the story.
Yet another misleading article title.
Intel Ports Developer Tools to OS X
can a person put google talk on their USB? will it work nicely from there?
I also hate TLA's and I wont use them!

yeah it is a poorly designed website. 90% ads and 9% incorrect content.
I really dislike the use of the word BETA when relating to non-software topics.

Boring in the extreme. Super boring and not funny. Also assumes every reader is a US citizen, insensitive clod.

you have not used linux for a while. try using any new linux versions and see if you just wasted your time or not.
PC Linux bootcd, rocks. And I do not know how to apt-get, emerge and rpm at all!
