Ditto on 1,2, and maybe 4. As far as bonus and penalty points for length, ahouldn't posters be rewarded for being brief and penalized for going on at length?
I suspected that it was the book merchant part of the URL that was getting it "censored". Earlier today I thought I saw in the right hand sidebar of the main page a link to Amazon with a mention that slashdot gets a cut, but it seems to have disappeared now. Co-incidence?
Why does the "expensive hardcover" link above point to slashdot? I strongly doubt that the author of the post sent it in that way, and it's not the first instance of this kind that I have noticed, although I don't recall any from the pre-Andover days.
If that craft hit hard enough does that make him "the man in the moon"? Seriously, though, I hope the container in which they put his ashes has remained intact. We have far too much to learn about the moon to be mixing anything non-lunar into it yet. For the same reason I'm not to thrilled with the idea of doing any non-archeological digging there (i.e., mining)until we've "mined" all the knowledge first.

Any code where zero equals x equals ten sounds like it already has all the bugs it needs. Who said I was advocating Linux, responsibly or otherwise? That wasn't senseless Microsoft bashing, that was humourous Microsoft bashing, wherein I turned a troll's words against him/her.

What's the matter, isn't the Mafia already strong enough to suit you? (We tried it before, think "speakeasy", and it didn't work.) Seat belts, btw, help prevent accidents by keeping the driver behind the wheel where they can possibly continue to control their vehicle while swerving wildly to avoid hitting something and they help keep the passengers out of their lap and their way during that time.
I was going to make the obvious palm and fetish joke, but then I saw this part. "Magazines that specialize in what might be called business erotica, such as Fast Company and Wired, often describe such futuristic moments in rapturous, almost orgasmic tones." Can't top that.
I'd say that anyone who writes "In short, you can -- just as with a regular computer -- take a device that was designed to save you time, and instead let it suck hours upon hours out of your life." embraces and understands geekhood just fine.
But did you go to the theater manager and demand a refund for spoiling the movie for you by making you miss the first ten minutes? No one ever responds to a boycott they don't know about.
"Ok, so you just gained the respect of every 15year old male that reads slashdot. You just lost the respect of most of the parents that read/." In other words, he's decided what his target demographic is going to be for the next few years, until it's time to go fad surfing again.
The current ratings system we have originated in the late sixties. Prior to that there was the Hayes commission (no relation to the modem people)from somewhere in the early to mid thirties.
Somebody please get the moderators a dictionary so that they can look up "redundant". This is at least the third time I have seen it used inappropriately. If you're going to moderate down (or up for that matter)do it for the right reason. The second, third, fourth, etc., post to make a particular point may be considered redundant but hardly the first.

Vowels have birthdays? I thought it was just consonants.
Ever wopnder how they manage so consistantly to get "one" mutant wheel on each chair?

A professional journalist who, before writing about Linux and open source, tries out Linux, sticking with it 'til getting it to work.
Wow, what a concept!
Multiple choice:
a: and this is a bad thing?
b: compared to when?
c: why does it have to take so long?
d: all of the above.

If this thread is in overload, why is there only one page? (and will this comment appear on it or spawn a second page?)
Or when you treat your customers as scum.
Run it on a socket 4 Pentium and it won't need any heating elements. The concept of bread as a heatsink takes a little getting used to, though.

I think we all agree that there's a very good chance that it will blow.

And the EULA will be printed on one of those disks. Talk about your fine print.

I knew you could.
