It's got nothing to do with 1-click patents, (Slashdot had frontpage affiliate links to amazon.com for years after that incident). BN gives a higher kickback than Amazon does.
From time to time, as new payment services arise, eBay will evaluate them to determine whether they are appropriate for the marketplace. Payment services that are not permitted on eBay may, in fact, be outstanding services for consumers in other contexts. eBay's evaluation relates only to whether a particular service is appropriate for the eBay marketplace. eBay will consider the following factors, among others, in making its determination:
....
Whether the payment service has a substantial historical track record of providing safe and reliable financial and/or banking related services (new services without such a track record generally cannot be promoted on eBay)

I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you Mac fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a Mac (a 8600/300 w/64 Megs of RAM) for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder. 20 minutes. At home, on my Pentium Pro 200 running NT 4, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this Mac, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.
In addition, during this file transfer, Netscape will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even BBEdit Lite is straining to keep up as I type this.
I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various Macs, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a Mac that has run faster than its Wintel counterpart, despite the Macs' faster chip architecture. My 486/66 with 8 megs of ram runs faster than this 300 mhz machine at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that the Macintosh is a superior machine.
Mac addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a Mac over other faster, cheaper, more stable systems.
Now he says 2 people switched from Mac to Linux? And it's newsworthy? Fuck, almost every/. Apple story has half a dozen people that make the same claim.
telcos were (and still are) very heavily regulated. Due to the public utility nature of the business, they were originally granted monopoly status. It's a very bad analogy.
Apple could obey the new French law by simply skipping the DRM part of downloading.... If the labels object, they can just be told that laws are superior to private agreements and all the music services are simply obeying the law.
The change in the law invalidates their contract. Since they no longer have a private agreement with the labels, they can no longer sell their music (DRM or otherwise).
I guess this proves the point that TFA makes about Google not advertising its products very well.
Slashdot posts a front page story about every google beta, rumor, and speculation. Then they dupe it a few days later, in case you missed it the first time.
I've been wondering why Slashdot doesn't have a deal with google (or yahoo, like sourceforge did). Native searching is almost useless, and searching via google is a blunt tool. The google web appliance would be an improvement.

Yeah, irrelevant to 99.5% of slashdot.
High school kids that listen to AM radio? I bet the lack of HAM radio support is also a negative.
In accordance with Megan's Law, Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda is a known sexual offender.
With almost every shipping method, the cost/pound decreases as the weight increases.
eg: USPS:
1 pound package, across the country: $4.05
20 pound package, across the country: $38.35 ($1.92/pound)
When ordering large volumes, you will almost always get a discount from your distributor/manufacturer.
worked in New Orleans with the big screen tvs!
Yes, it's very bad. If you look at retail businesses, you'll find the most successful (and profitable!) are ones that don't sell anything.
$150,000/month in sales won't make you rich if you have $200,000 a month in expenses.

haha, yeah! like VA Linux.
"good technology"? Only if screen scraping google search results and organizing them along with ads (by google, no less) counts as technology.

google doesn't have close up satellite images for a lot of locations. Doing a couple spot checks, yahoo maps (beta) had better images.

And the comments are (so far) complaints about the /. moderation system.
nah, cowboi kneel modded his shorts brown and yellow.
I've got a 6" floppy, too. Of course, it's 10" whenever i think about Natalie Portman!
The problem is, no guy would put it in his #2.

take a look at GNUStep Web, the FREE version of WebObjects. It's Objective C but otherwise satisfies most of your criteria.
yeah, because so many people will want to buy ads based on =SUM(A1:A15) adding up to 743.6
xsl. php. shtml.
firefox does have a plug in to use IE/mshtml to render pages....
