It's fun to read and think about these things even if they are not true.
It's not as troublesome as plain lies from governments presented to you over and over again from all 'respected news networks' to gain support to nullify amendements, for example.
JOE: Okay, let me introduce everybody to everybody. But once again, at the risk of being redundant, if I even think I hear somebody telling or referring to somebody by their Christian name... you won't want to be you. Okay, quickly. Mr. Brown, Mr. White, Mr. Blonde, Mr. Blue, Mr. Orange, and Mr. Pink.
MR. PINK: Why am I Mr. Pink?
JOE: Cause you're a faggot.
MR. PINK: Why can't we pick out our own colors?
JOE: I tried that once, it don't work. You get four guys fighting over who's gonna be Mr. Black. Since nobody knows anybody else, nobody wants to back down. So forget it, I pick. Be thankful you're not Mr. Yellow.
MR. BROWN: Yeah, but Mr. Brown? That's too close to Mr. Shit.
MR. PINK: Yeah, Mr. Pink sounds like Mr. Pussy. Tell you what, let me be Mr. Purple. That sounds good to me, I'm Mr. Purple.
JOE: You're not Mr. Purple, somebody from another job's Mr. Purple. You're Mr. Pink.
MR. WHITE: Who cares what your name is? Who cares if you're Mr. Pink, Mr. Purple, Mr. Pussy, Mr. Piss...
MR. PINK: Oh that's really easy for you to say, you're Mr. White. You gotta cool-sounding name. So tell me, Mr. White, if you think "Mr. Pink" is no big deal, you wanna trade?
JOE: Nobody's trading with anybody! Look, this ain't a goddamn fuckin city counsel meeting! Listen up Mr. Pink. We got two ways here, my way or the highway. And you can go down either of 'em. So what's it gonna be, Mr. Pink?
MR. PINK: Jesus Christ, Joe. Fuckin forget it. This is beneath me. I'm Mr. Pink, let's move on.
Articles like this is what makes slashdotter as is.
If we try to reason the unreasonable we get a broad perspective far beyond boundries about anything in the world. This is why we are so smart-ass and freak off people who try to have small-talk with us.
"* And when you don't have to release such PR to say 'momentum is building behind OpenSolaris'. I know hyping is sometimes quite cool, but it is just sick."
Yeah, it sounds similar to Microsoft shouting:
"This widespread participation and support is consistent with the rapid adoption of the Ecma Office Open XML file formats across multiple platforms and products from a wide range of IT vendors (including Apple, Novell, Corel, Sun, Microsoft, Java developers and Linux distributors), creating real value for IT users around the globe."
The Solaris / Debian distribution that is being made will be really appealing once it is stable; to me at least.
I tried a Unix twice but switching from linux was more troubling than I imagined. It will be nice to have a Debian platfrom with ZFS support and knowing that there is Solaris underneath.
When human drove itself to extinction. When an extra-steller probe is sent to the last and only activity in the solar system (namely: opportunity & spirit) just before extinction of the alien races.
What would happen until the sun dies and the bots will be without solar power?

Uhm, that is what it is about yes.
Arbitrary is not random; it is chosen.
Global warming leads to rise of waterlevel.
Rise of waterlevel leads to 'Waterworld-scenery'.
You've seen the movies; lots of pirates.
A [mutual stimulating] outcome in this research.
Can you imagine that from an alien standpoint?
Alien observers must have boggled their minds over this.
Djeez.
The summary mentions an article about how boys and girls prefer some colours over others.
So it made me think about this funny piece from a great movie.
Whoever rated that offtopic is a humorless... thing.

That weren't slashdotters.
That was a script from the 'Brotherhood of Parenthood' who fight for the right of parents to do whatever they want.
Not surprisingly the 'fortune' from slashdot is, at this very moment; "Never trust a child farther than you can throw it."
I did not read your post but I think you wrote a paradox.
Yes indeed.
If I want to raise my kid from birth to be specialized to safe humanity from the robot-uprising in the not too far future, that is my fair right.
Censorship to protect people is like not allowing people to eat steaks because babies can't chew it.

"Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle"
You have to take it into context.
It obviously means that part of the car has no emission.
With today's technology they can easily make a car have only emission from the exhaust.
Could that imply that there are possibly also bad open-source programmers?
*shiver*

"but how long til "incompatibilities" start popping up, now that Sun is pushing into the OS market?"
Is that in Sun's interest? Not uptil now anyway.
If he want to be sure to get laid he should tattoo Gaybuntu on his ass.

OK, so I've been wondering for a great deal of time what port 9090 on my system was for.
If I go to http://localhost:9090/ I get the HTML message 'Nice try...'. Nmap sais '9090/tcp open zeus-admin'.
Now it appears that it is from my bittorrent client.
Is there a more rich informed alternative that would say something like '9090/tcp open zeus-admin/transmission/appX/appY'?
It took quite some googling to find out what is was used for.
If your blog post would help other slashdotters it might get through the moderations.
Do you think that an title called 'Nmap From a Hacker's Point of View' would inform most people enough about the content of the article?
Because placing 'ethical' before it informs 95% of the common people and 30% of the slashdotters better about the article.
Oh no! They are completed their scrambler.
Team 3 to position gamma!
And watching the neighbour's wife shower and stuff. I get your point.
