It's kind of a chicken and egg problem. You'll still have to deal with applications that expect the well-known ports. For example, if you move mail off port 25, you won't be able to receive messages from clients that can't (or won't) look up the correct port in DNS. Rather than listening in two places (and making a mess of your firewall rules) it will probably be easier to just leave things alone.
Slashdot moderators are often far too kind to ill-informed, poorly-written pro-Microsoft rants in the interests of bending over backwards to appear fair and reasonable.
That's exactly my point, although I didn't articulate it well. Moderators feel the need to select pro-Microsoft (or other unpopular) posts for the sake of "balance," not because they've found a worthy comment that deserves to be read. It's like a news article that goes to great lengths to present "both sides" of a political story, even if the author clearly believes that one side is full of crap. (The belief that there are only two sides to every political argument is another weird idea that often goes unchallenged, at least in the US.) Basically I'm saying that being against "free speech" is taboo on Slashdot, and this is demonstrated by the large numbers of highly ranked "opposition" posts that are completely without merit.
The interesting thing about +5 pro-Microsoft posts is that they often contain the "I have karma to burn" disclaimer. This allows them to bypass the anti-Microsoft groupthink and instead trigger the "Slashdot is a bastion of free speech" groupthink.
I remember the good old days, back in early 1998 when I first got DSL. Except for the few random people who visited my little web page, the transmit light on my router wouldn't blink at all unless I was doing something. I get all nostalgic just thinking about it.
Maybe Dell likes -R better and they're trying to get rid of their stock of +R drives. Or maybe they got a good deal on a one-time shipment of +R drives. Who knows? I don't see how this offer qualifies as major news. (I guess I would make a bad technology columnist.)
I think the decision to use drugs or to experiment with feeling high should be made by those that it truly concerns, the individual. Not the individual's parents.
Exactly. Even if you manage to chemically disable all of the major drugs during childhood, people who really want to get high will find a way. There's always whipped cream, spray paint, plastic bags, etc.

Sure it does:

Well, software costs a lot of money to develop while movies are basically free and the studio keeps all of the profits anyway...
The first step is admitting your addition somewhere other than here.
AKA imcest.
Voice over Hot Air must be open source. Everyone around here seems to use it.
Hmm, how do you know that? We found a spammer! Everybody after him!
I nominate sympatico.ca as the best zombie hangout for 2003.
I hear SoIP (spam over IP) is really catching on.
By the way, if you don't feel clean after getting out of the bathroom you're definitely doing something wrong.
That would be the "do not spam" list from the CAN-SPAM Act.

It was good while it lasted. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
So can the water.
That still won't work! You need to put that in a loop or an event handler or something. Otherwise you're only checking the batteries once. Keep at it.
Let's shoot a few of you and see if you adapt.
I think it's ironic that the two things I had to patch most often this year were OpenSSH and OpenSSL. What does that first 'S' stand for again?
Maybe try this. Also good for non-computer stuff.
Would the organ recipients be required to take up careers in law enforcement?
Why, is it his secret asteroid base?
I'm curious about his desk. That's like 200 pounds of monitor.
