For every generation, it seems that gaming consoles get closer to PC's in several aspects. Yeah, that's right, versions... hardware... it's more about the hardware. The X-Box is a mighty fine example. I don't think it will take many years before separate gaming consoles are gone completely.
And I don't find that very good. Anyone remember the good old NES or SNES days, when everything that mattered was the quality of a game? In the future, our gaming will be disrupted by hardware failure, compatibility issues, upgrades etc...
Every day, thousands of geeks and Linux communists from all over the world visit Slashdot to discuss recent news about computers, technology, science, copyright, etc. etc. It's quite a nice community, inhabited by several different species of geeks - ranging from teenagers without a social life to developers of illegal communist "open source" software!
I have observed for a long time how these geeks openly promote "open source", which can be rationally explained as copying computer programs and data from one computer to another without paying for the software. Illegal distribution of MP3 music is a fine example.
For a long while, I was one of them who think it's a ridiculous concept. If software developers have put 100's of hours of work in creating good software, would it really be right to steal their work without paying them for their efforts? No, of course not. Or...?
Just a few weeks ago, a colleague of mine demonstrated how simple it is to open-source a copyrighted program over to a CD. Just a few clicks on the computer cursor! So what does this mean? Well, from now on, I will sure as hell not buy any new software, that's for sure.
I can get the latest Windows, Office, Internet or pop album for the expense of a writable CD!
I got back to Slashdot after a short break, just three days ago. It was a happy moment as I felt that I was joining with my fellow open-sourceres's to share the joy of open-sourceing programs. But it didn't turn out to be what I had expected.
Slashdot, this site that has claimed to be "open-source" for a long time, is in fact not. It was a tremendous emotional shock to me when I discovered that several important parts of Slashdot are "closed-source", I.E. not available for copying!
Some of the missing things are:
- A full list of user e-mail addresses, in a non-obfuscated form.
Yes, not only does Slashdot NOT provide a list of all users' e-mail addresses in a conveniently downloadable text file, but the addresses, which you have to dig out manually one-by-one, are obfuscated for "spam-protection". What does this mean? It means that a company that wants to advertise its great products to new customers will have a hard time, because it can't send out the advertisements! And why? Because Slashdot refuses to share its data in an open-source manner!
- An open public database of user passwords.
In its current state, Slashdot holds 70% of its website - the individual user account pages for all users - restricted. Is this open source? No, of course not! Slashdot should definitely unlock these pages and make the password database public to everybody!
The above two are of course just the top of the iceberg. Or how about: a moderation system that close-sources out controversial user posts, zero write access to the Slashdot servers from remote computers such as mine... I don't think the list is finite!
It is in my opinion and interest that Slashdot should strive to become fully open source. The process should start right now, by us, the users, us who want open-source to be part of our society.
So act now - raise your voice and speak out! Should dictatorship like this be tolerated?

Very nice indeed :)
Hey all Linux whores around here!
:)
Did you know that hick.org, host for goatse.cx, is running on LINUX servers?
And it's the 2.2 kernel too!
I just thought you wanted to know!
Damn good idea. I just added a link from my site too :)

Don't ever buy one. And why shouldn't you?
A) It's more expensive than buying separate parts and putting it together yourself. It's simply less performance for a higher price.
B) Expanding your computer or replacing things in it may be trickier - in many cases, only parts buyed from the Brand provider will work!
C) Brand computer companies favourize well established products (such as Windows!)
Goat sex does not count here. Bye bye.
HAHAHAH
This is the best joke ever. Someone, please mod parent up to +5, Funny!
I've had it three times only the last month. Can you compete with that?
So would I.
Now go elsewhere and moan.
I hope not. *Whooooof* Airstrike!
NOOOOO what have I done!!! I lost my sexy negative karma :(
Good idea. By the way, shouldn't /. have a specific "Google" topic?
For every generation, it seems that gaming consoles get closer to PC's in several aspects. Yeah, that's right, versions... hardware... it's more about the hardware. The X-Box is a mighty fine example. I don't think it will take many years before separate gaming consoles are gone completely.
And I don't find that very good. Anyone remember the good old NES or SNES days, when everything that mattered was the quality of a game? In the future, our gaming will be disrupted by hardware failure, compatibility issues, upgrades etc...
I had the idea of exactly this kind of lexicon just a few days ago. I'll be happy to help out.
Oh my god
.jpgs.
Look at those unreadable
Consider the fact that they would be 1/2 the size and twice the quality as PNG's.
NOOOOOOO don't mod me dowN :((((((((((
:(((((
I cen barele make a livin like this Dont you take the last peace of bread away from me and my poor childeren
Every day, thousands of geeks and Linux communists from all over the world visit Slashdot to discuss recent news about computers, technology, science, copyright, etc. etc. It's quite a nice community, inhabited by several different species of geeks - ranging from teenagers without a social life to developers of illegal communist "open source" software!
I have observed for a long time how these geeks openly promote "open source", which can be rationally explained as copying computer programs and data from one computer to another without paying for the software. Illegal distribution of MP3 music is a fine example.
For a long while, I was one of them who think it's a ridiculous concept. If software developers have put 100's of hours of work in creating good software, would it really be right to steal their work without paying them for their efforts? No, of course not. Or...?
Just a few weeks ago, a colleague of mine demonstrated how simple it is to open-source a copyrighted program over to a CD. Just a few clicks on the computer cursor! So what does this mean? Well, from now on, I will sure as hell not buy any new software, that's for sure.
I can get the latest Windows, Office, Internet or pop album for the expense of a writable CD!
I got back to Slashdot after a short break, just three days ago. It was a happy moment as I felt that I was joining with my fellow open-sourceres's to share the joy of open-sourceing programs. But it didn't turn out to be what I had expected.
Slashdot, this site that has claimed to be "open-source" for a long time, is in fact not. It was a tremendous emotional shock to me when I discovered that several important parts of Slashdot are "closed-source", I.E. not available for copying!
Some of the missing things are:
- A full list of user e-mail addresses, in a non-obfuscated form.
Yes, not only does Slashdot NOT provide a list of all users' e-mail addresses in a conveniently downloadable text file, but the addresses, which you have to dig out manually one-by-one, are obfuscated for "spam-protection". What does this mean? It means that a company that wants to advertise its great products to new customers will have a hard time, because it can't send out the advertisements! And why? Because Slashdot refuses to share its data in an open-source manner!
- An open public database of user passwords.
In its current state, Slashdot holds 70% of its website - the individual user account pages for all users - restricted. Is this open source? No, of course not! Slashdot should definitely unlock these pages and make the password database public to everybody!
The above two are of course just the top of the iceberg. Or how about: a moderation system that close-sources out controversial user posts, zero write access to the Slashdot servers from remote computers such as mine... I don't think the list is finite!
It is in my opinion and interest that Slashdot should strive to become fully open source. The process should start right now, by us, the users, us who want open-source to be part of our society.
So act now - raise your voice and speak out! Should dictatorship like this be tolerated?
Of course not! We must make a difference!
