Finally a possible explanation for something that'd baffled me for a long time! An aquantence was translating a nes game and we were all pretty shocked to find when hexediting it...one of the programmers name and phone number.
I thought that was kind of weird too. I know it can be disabled and everything, but it does seem odd to have it in by default. I didn't even mind the url popup so much as having it just sometimes pop up when I'm typing normal words.
It's an even sadder world where it's as close as you can come to pointing out the stupidity of that system, without said system firing or blacklisting you.
I loved that movie. I remember one day I came in to find our dress code hade been moved up a few notches "because if you interact with the public, we want you all to give a good impression of the system.". The irony comes in because that was another of their rules, we're in a windowless square and forbidden to interact with the public! The same day someone showed me office space for the same time, and at least I felt reasured that there were a lot of people in the same situation.
The sad thing is the Linux version will probably be out before the Mac one.
I really wouldn't bet on it. The mac version had it's new release date revealed about the same time the windows version came out. Bioware refuses to even comment on when the Linux release of the client will be other than first saying "soon" and then "we're having problems with it", and their Linux server has the rather annoying requirement of needing windows already installed. It dosn't sound to me like the Linux version is getting much attention at all, while the Mac version has a company focused on getting the game released.
Until this scenario can be neatly met by Linux, it will forever be a server OS.
I really don't care if Joe Average can use it, or if most tech support people couldn't handle it, I can on my computer. And that right there says to me at least that it's not just a server OS.
To add my voice to the others, I found mandrake 8.2 a faster install than XP as well. Much faster when having to track down the drivers for my hardware in XP was taken into account. Whereas with mandrake I found all my hardware detected and configured for me already on my first bootup.
What's really sad about that to me is the fact it's aiming for two of the most unprejudiced groups around, geeks and kids. If something like that is given this treatment, what can more mainstream casting be like.
Some of the more legally borderline software, like decss, or programs which convert or edit from wmv/asf. Such as VirtualDub before microsoft threw a fit and made the developer remove support from his program.
Wouldn't he only be a anti-advertisement advertisement if he put some notice on his shirt or whatever that something had been there? I don't see the problem if there's a big "Bill's shirt store" advertisment on his black shirt, and he just dies that section the same shade of black.
My sympathy to everyone who's ever been on this then! Getting concerned about my health as I get older I decided to cut out caffeine containing products last week, and it's been horrible! I've been constantly tired, and I've been downing ibuprofin like mad. It's kind of a surprising reminder that caffeine really is a drug, not just another ingredient in cola.
I'd sure love to see that as well. There's really only a few books I can think back to reading growing up that I can still recall fondly after all this time, and here's a full series of them. Though I'd say more the miniseries route while we're wishing, with one hour and a half block or so devoted to each.
Back the way it was before slashdot became too popular with the "I can point and click really well, I'm super smart! I know everything, wheeee!" crowd.
Linux will only become a ghetto when windows users come to Linux attracted by hype or pretty screenshots. My target is intelligent people able to understand the written word, and who are using Linux for well thought out reasons. I don't want the kind of people who use windows to be using my programs.
I have a little gaming site, and I'm hovering around 10% mozilla hits right now. But it's both somewhat technology centric, and I plug mozilla a lot in my updates as well, so I'm not fooling myself into thinking it's that good everywhere quite yet.
One kind of neat thing is that I'm actually getting about equivelent hits from mozilla compared to IE 6.
Slashdot Mirror
About the same as complaining that a Nascar is too hard to maintain for the average driver.
That's wonderful analogy, that I expect to plagerise quite often in the future.
I am so sick and tired of hearing all this crap about Linux this and Linux that.
You don't want to hear about Linux, and you're reading slashdot!
Hello Slashdot! Yes, the bandwidth is horrific, so I've shrunk all the images to a much smaller size
I'm amazed by his ability to fight the slashdot effect!
From the article: injected it into mice to demonstrate that it was active. The animals were paralysed and then died.
After decades of research, advances in biotechnology finally creates the long fabled "better mousetrap".
For just a split second there I thought slashdot really did love me after all.

Slashdot's full of zealots for every operating system under the sun I think. I even got modded down as a troll once for saying windows98 was unstable.

I'd mod this up, but this isn't kuro5hin so I can't.
:)
Here's to hoping this gets hidden enough to avoid being modded done by someone with no sense of humor

You should consider relocating to Sealand!

The really hard part is cutting out caffeine

For readers too, in my opinion. It was many, many years ago that I read it but I really enjoyed that book.
I'd sure love to see that as well. There's really only a few books I can think back to reading growing up that I can still recall fondly after all this time, and here's a full series of them.

I have to wonder if there are also some benefits to playing videogames regularly
Yes, you get the chance to be sucked into your nes by the ultimate warp zone to become the savior of Videoland!
Wonder where this would leave /. ?
