Bravo. You are my (anti)hero. Keep up the good work!
As usual, the moderators are completely inadequate and incompetant. Moderation and karma do more harm than good. It promotes blad posts and stifles innovation. It also makes it harder to get to the really good stuff like the All Your Base trolls and YOU FAIL IT trolls and what not.
You aren't laughing because you have no respect for good trolling. The joke is a throwback to good old Yakov Smirnov, comdian from behind the Iron Curtain.
The trolls are the only thing good on this site. You'd best pay your respects to them. Granted, I would like to see a combination of Foreign Language Troll and Soviet Russia troll.
Yes, BSD blah blah blah, big deal. The real story here is, as usual, trolls. They make Slashdot what it is, providing it with all the All Your Base and Hot Grits it can handle. Imagine a Beowulf cluster of those! So, if you find a troll, give the troll a hug and mod him up. You should thank said troll for interrupting insipid and pointless discussions with hate-filled rants, mindless banter, and pointless blathering. As usual, all the best posts are a -1, so MOD ME DOWN.
A smart escrow service designed to handle auction payments would:
1). Require the shipper to ship using a specific shipping service(such as UPS) that provides tracking information for the package.
2). Refuse to accept payment into the escrow account until the item has been shipped and a valid tracking # has been provided
3). Refuse to release the payment from escrow to either party until the package has arrived as per the sale agreement.
Essentially, collaboration between the shipping service and the escrow service could provide more protection for the seller. This, of course, would rely upon the validity and consistancy of the shipping service's tracking data.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the best way to deal with this sort of problem is to stick with one or two "known good" escrow services? Make it a standard like PayPal or what not. All this scam-artistry certainly creates demand for such a service. Knowing eBay, they'll set up one of their own or buy somebody else's.
On a side note: "A Fake escrow accounts"? Come on.
What's the appeal of gaming on a PC? Patches. If you don't understand why I say that, then just take a look at PC Morrowind vs XBox Morrowind. Both were buggy, and while the PC version is patchable, the XBox version is not . . .
Granted, console titles are still less buggy on average, but console games ARE getting buggier than they were in past years. The more complex the program, the more bugs you get.
Also, PC games can support a large mod community whereas consoles really haven't caught up in that arena.
Why should we make efforts to reduce our consumption of currently utilized resources? CO2 is a valuable by-product of combustion that's useful in many applications. If CO2 levels in the atmosphere become high enough, some enterprising individual could potentially make a fat chunk of change stripping it out of the atmosphere, along with the waste heat and excess solar heat being trapped by all the greenhouse gasses. Or they could just harvest the CO2(and water) as it's being pumped into the atmosphere.
I am still a big fan of the SiS735(I use one with my horribly outdated 1.4ghz Athlon-c). Very stable. The SiS645/645DX were both impressive, and the SiS648 looks even better. Talk about a RAMBUS killer. I only hope they keep making Athlon chipsets(the SiS745 has gotten very little press it seems, probably because it's irrelevant due to the lack of Athlons with a factory spec FSB of 166mhz). If AMD would wake up, smell the bacon, and release an Athlon with a factory spec FSB of 200 mhz, I'm sure SiS could cook up a chipset to accomodate it, using the DDR400 memory controller from the SiS648(or a modified version of said memory controller). Wouldn't that be nice?
Instead of focusing upon some benchmarks with overclocked CPUs squaring off against one another, why not pay attention to another article from Tom's that shows some benchmarks of the P4 2.0 ghz operating at factory spec on a number of different P4 boards with different memory configs(P4 + i850 + RDRAM vs P4 + Sis645/ViaP4X266/ViaP4X266a/i845 + DDR). As you can see from that article, at least on the pre-Northwood P4s, DDR did pretty well on the non-Intel chipsets, particularly on the Sis645 when PC2700 was used.

Who gets the first post in outer space? I guess it's not me, is it? A pity.
Please mod me down.

If Francis Ray Ottoman will set up his own WiFi network. Fear the cross-marketting gimmicks! The best posts are still at -1, so . . . mod this down!

Why is it that the only posts worth reading are at -1? Hmm . . .

Lookit them Limeys play! And they somehow made that virtual fish into their goalie. How do they do it!?!? Argentina sux0rs.
