Probably true. Those of us who aren't fat slobs lounging around after getting laid off from teenass.com are often posting to slashdot from work, where the iron fist of IT management insists on IE.
Back to "work" right guys?;)

Virtual roller coaster are very cool, but they will never replace real ones. The "cool" factor comes from the fact that we have all been on a real rolercoaster and appreciate how close the simulation comes. Without the real experience to compare it to, it is just a weird movie that makes you feel kind of queezy.
I participated in a focus group for playstation and deamcast a good six months before they were released. One of the questions they asked us was what we thought of the name "playstation." They mentioned that the name "psx" was also being considered. It was the opinion of the entire group that "psx" carried a more serious image than "playstation." Oh well.
Your search - my car keys - did not match any documents.
Suggestions:
- Check in the recycling, maybe they got thrown away with the beer cans.
- If you weren't such a nerd, maybe you would have a wife to find them for you.
- Who cares, you have nowhere to go anyway - now back to www.autopr0n.com
Why don't you write a song about it, you whiny little bitch.
If you don't like what Slashdot does, don't support it. I bet you sing songs about peace and love while lathering yourself up with some Procter and Gamble soap-product in the shower, fucking hypocrit.
I'm getting tired of people complaining about this, but still visiting the site and clicking on the pretty little links. I'm all for slashdotting sites (click click click).
Excuse me, I have to go flood ping some non-profits.
Don't you think the government has dipped its fingers into cyber-law a bit too much already? Letting them into this would only open the door for more problems. Sure, it's cool to tell these guys no, but stay away from my MP3s, right?
Sheesh.
How is this going forward? I can walk to the record store and purchase a CD with 16 tracks for about $12 - cool case, cool cover, lyrics, everything.
Or, I can spend my time searching for the tracks I want, pay for my own blank CD, bandwidth, wear on my burner, and end up with a crappy copy (marked with a Sharpie, of course) and a few more files in my playlist for a few dollars MORE!
While we're talking about titties and games, I of course have to mention the completely free and funny as hell Booty Call games. Almost every house party I have ends up with the remaining 15 survivors crammed into my room playing this shit. Funny.
Site seems to be down right now, but bookmark it for later.
Did anyone else notice that the "new" features the press release is bragging about have all been standard Windows features for quite some time now? I'm no MS fan, but I tire of new Linux distros trying to mimick them. Oh well.
Had to write "NOT TO CLOSE" eh? Stupid moron. People probably got even closer trying to figure out what they were not supposed to close.
"Not too close" might have been a better idea.
I didn't even read this guy post, but here's my prediction:
It is over two paragraphgs, so it will get modded to +5... no disrespect to the poster, it might be a great discussion... but anyone else notice how that always happens? Oh well...
Looks like the site is slowly dying. Thanks a lot! Managed to snag the Power Glove comment:
"The third nominee is the Power Glove. This was a device originally designed so players could have a hand free while playing Hot Slots, Bubble Bath Babes, and Peek-A-Boo Poker. The players demanded it immediately, so the designers didn't have time to work all of the bugs out before its release. In fact the designers based 98% of the Power Glove technology on one of their nephew's fifth grade science projects. The technology worked great as an automatic pet door, but as a game controller there were some problems. The Nintendo couldn't quite figure out what your hand was doing and most of the time the character you were supposed to be controlling would stagger off a cliff or just make faces at you and mock your Flash Gordon glove. This would continue for hours until you finally returned the damn glove to its appropriate place on the cat. This high tech hip device almost could have worked as a way to enhance the challenge of a game you've already beaten, but closing your eyes would basically have the same effect. And cost about a hundred dollars less. Of course, then you wouldn't bag as many chicks as the guys who had the Power Glove, would you?"
This review is completely meaningless. It appears that it is a review of a Sony Vaio restore CD vs. RedHat. WAY different than a 2k vs. Linux. 2k doesn't try to sell you virus software.
That's what I figured. I'm using an embedded s3 Savage 4 AGP on a Soyo Mobo... Can't find opengl linux drivers anywhere... Is that game worth looking further?
Tux Racer opened for me on my fresh install of RedHat 7.3, but runs like some weird nightmare... frame [pause] frame [pause] frame [pause]. Horribly annoying. I have an 8-meg on-board video card shadowed to 16 megs in the BIOS. Granted, that's not much, but come on - it's Tux Racer we're talking about. Hate asking for help here, but saw the opportunity and I'm taking it! Any ideas?
See, my complaint is not for a lack of quantity, but a lack of choice. Just because a distro's install CDs contain 6 web browsers does not mean you have to install them all. Maybe Lycoris could configure a user-friendly tour of various apps during the install and let you decide at that time which one to go with. Or, you could opt out in the beginning of the install and choose to go with the reccomended versions... That way, grammy doesn't have to learn all about rpms and dependencies to install that cool Mozilla (just an example) program that the kiddies are talking about...
I went with an earlier version of Lycoris as my first distro, and dropped it after about three days. One of my favorite things about other popular distros is the shear amount of apps you have to choose from. The Lycoris install, while allowing you to play Solitare while it chugs away (very cool), leaves you with ONE word processor, ONE web browser, etc. While this may be nice for newer users, it just doesn't quite appeal to me...
Avoiding clashing screennames should be simple - add the service to the end of each name (ie slashdotuser@yahoo, notsobright@aol, sellout@msn, etc. This would also give credit (advertising) to the appropriate IM service, make sending e-mails a bit more straightforward, and make it that much easier to make fun of the AIM users...

Because it is still in the pre-order stage. You can download 9.0 RC 3, but not 9.0 final.

Maybe my company would like to sell them their "wasteland" of dead computers that they refuse to hand over to geeks like me...

A bit off topic, but... what are they? I'm interested in visiting sometime (for myself, not for linux) and would like to know. Thanks.
