Me: I don't know about you, but I wouldn't trust a business whose very name lies about the structure of their organization.
You: It's a consulting business that does system integration work. Does he have to have internal synergy? Does anyone hold Microsoft to the "micro" part?
Given that he also refers to himself as "we" (see the web page: "Try Synergy, and find out why we're proud to be the best at what we do. "), I'm more inclined to believe that he's a liar, and is abusing a hackneyed buzzword in an attempt to seem much larger and more established than he actually is.
And that's worse than lying to the client through your name. If he's so good at what he does, why can't he just say "I", and let his great reputation in his field do the talking? What kind of business relationship can one expect with an organization that's dishonest from square one?
He hosts my website and email. Its a one-man consulting business.
Does he know what synergy means?
synergy: Cooperative interaction among groups, especially among the acquired subsidiaries or merged parts of a corporation, that creates an enhanced combined effect.

"Back", "re-read" and "old/. posts" would mean the past. As in old posts on/., that I am not going to re-read.
"Re-Read"? If you had read it the first time, you wouldn't have asked your question, genius. Since you hadn't read it, the information was new to you; and no matter how you bitch and moan, clicking on a link is going forward.
Atari. Nintendo. Sony. Only one Godzilla is leaving out of this little club of his: Microsoft!
Microsoft opted out, because Godzilla looks too much like Mozilla, and they don't want to be construed as supporting a competing product over their own. It's bad for the share price.
The real answer is these "tablet PCs" probably aren't all that useful to "true geeks", as we're far too keyboard dependent, but could be quite useful to people ranging from graphics artists to grandmothers.
Which begs the question, why is it when Microsoft announces products like this, is it "hyping" them, but when Apple announces slightly faster laptops (note, nothing actually *new*, just *slightly faster*), they get a front page story written like it came out of the mouth of a PR drone?
WarCraft III [warcraft.com] is not good enough for you?
Short answer? No. I prefer Civilization III: Play The World... it's really good. you should try it. Oh, wait, "there has not yet been an announcement of when to expect a Mac version." Too bad. Looks like you'll have to wait a year or so, as per usual.
How about Medal of Honor: Allied Assault? That's pretty new, and a great game
If you call being released in January 2002 "new". But then, using a Mac, you're used to being at least a year behind. You probably think DDR ram is "new", too.
Understandable. Here's a few [apple.com] to get you started.
The only new game on that list is Warcraft III (which isn't exactly new, itself). Everything else is like a two, or three year old port of a PC game I've already played. And no, I'm not interested in "Infogrames Kids Games", or "Birdie Shoot".
Or maybe you should make up lies and anecdotal evidence about how Mozilla "just works" and Internet Explorer goes "boopbeepboopbeepboop" and destroys half of your "really good" paper.
Am I the only one that thinks this would be the coolest poster ever?
What are you, 12?
I've always hated D&D geeks. They give the actual smart geeks a bad rep. When they're not pestering you to play Magic, they're describing loudly, and in detail, the sexual exploits of their level 14 rogue-mage in the land of the cat people. A healthy imagination is one thing, but come on; If you want magic and fairy elves, watch the Smurfs.
Or better yet, shoot yourself in the fucking head and do us all a favor.
Is there something I'm not aware of about this trailer or movie that makes it so special as to justify a Slashdot front page post? Maybe it's just a slow weekend...
Look at the evidence. Steve Jobs is CEO of Pixar (and Apple). Slashdot, if not VA Linu^H^H^H^HSoftware wants to be bought out by Apple. Think about it: How many Apple articles do you see on a daily basis? Why does Apple have its own section, customized to look like Apple's website? Why does Apple have eleven (count them yourself) different topic categories? (Compared to one for Sun, one for Microsoft, one for IBM, one for Compaq, and *none* for Dell, whose market share is nearly six times that of Apple)

After three months of work by the staff, Oda was justifiably proud of the site.
Three months of work? Are you fucking kidding me?

Modded down by the zealots, so I'll post it again:
How much is Apple paying you Slashdot folks to keep posting this shit?
Slashdot, if not VA Linu^H^H^H^HSoftware wants to be bought out by Apple. Think about it: How many Apple articles do you see on a daily basis?

Seriously, that's my question. My theory is, Slashdot, if not VA Li^H^HSoftware wants to be bought out by Apple. Think about it: How many Apple articles do you see on a daily basis? Why does Apple have its own section, customized to look like Apple's website? Why does Apple have eleven (count them yourself) different topic categories?

If it's in the past, you are going back.
Maybe for some, but it's not in your past, since you haven't read it, hence, for you, it's going forward.
"Back", "re-read" and "old /. posts" would mean the past. As in old posts on /., that I am not going to re-read.
"Re-Read"? If you had read it the first time, you wouldn't have asked your question, genius. Since you hadn't read it, the information was new to you; and no matter how you bitch and moan, clicking on a link is going forward.
I'm told my room is just too tidy, and I have to redo Geek101: Coke cans and sticky notes.
You also need to get a real computer. Sorry, but the tangerine iMac doesn't cut it unless you're a gay hairdresser.
Note this line from my comment : "And I'm not about to go back and re-read old /. posts."
Also note, by clicking on a link, you'd be going forward, not back.

That wasn't on the Avon site.
It was linked to in the Slashdot summary. You really can't read, after all; I guess truth is stupider than fiction.
Is this official/legit, or just another bootleg?
You don't know how to read, do you? "Infogrames (the folks who now own Atari) have just struck a deal with another company to produce a 10-in-1 video game system based on the Atari 2600. It'll be joystick-shaped, plug into a TV set, cost only $20..."
That sounds great, but how heavy is it? The product page says it takes four batteries.
I mean, if you're going to have a five-pound joystick, you might as well just get an Xbox.
The real answer is these "tablet PCs" probably aren't all that useful to "true geeks", as we're far too keyboard dependent, but could be quite useful to people ranging from graphics artists to grandmothers.

Honestly, it seems to me that Slashdot is really trying to pimp itself to Apple. Look at the evidence: How many Apple articles do you see on a daily basis? Why does Apple have its own section, customized to look like Apple's website? Why does Apple have eleven (count them yourself) different topic categories?

EVERYTHING else? You must spend a *fortune* on games!
Apparently you've never heard of USENET or IRC.
Understandable. Here's a few [apple.com] to get you started.
The only new game on that list is Warcraft III (which isn't exactly new, itself). Everything else is like a two, or three year old port of a PC game I've already played. And no, I'm not interested in "Infogrames Kids Games", or "Birdie Shoot".
It looks great, and it's a pleasure to use.
No, OSX would be a pleasure to use if there were actually any GAMES for it. (Bejeweled doesn't count.)
Or maybe you should make up lies and anecdotal evidence about how Mozilla "just works" and Internet Explorer goes "boopbeepboopbeepboop" and destroys half of your "really good" paper.
That seems to be working for Apple.
Anyone ever noticed how much mundane Apple news gets posted on Slashdot? A minor speed increase on laptops doesn't seem to warrant a full story.
Honestly, I've been saying the same thing. The closest I can figure, is VA wants to be bought out by Apple.
It is possible, but not without a good deal of nightmarish configuration issues. Documentation? HA! No sign of it anywhere on Apple's site.
But I thought Macs "just work"?
Am I the only one that thinks this would be the coolest poster ever?
