Yet another mindless raving rated as "Insightful" - where do you guys get this stuff?
Remember, this is Slashdot: News for Nerds, Moderators on Crack.
I'm holding out for a more surrealist mod system. I think "+1, Giraffe" type mods would prove just as useful as the current set, given the required state of mind of moderators.
After installing, I got an XUL error on trying to load firefox. So I removed the google accelerator (from add/remove programs), and then after a couple of goes, firefox started, but I've got no adblock and no google toolbar.
This is Microsoft we're talking about. You just *know* that if they added tabs 'right now' that they'd be scrambling for the next year patching all the remote-root holes they just opened.
I like the 'e' icon! (the *icon* not the security hole it represents)
I think firefox should have an (optional) 'f' icon, that's very similar to internet explorer's 'e' that way I could tell people like my sister (ie, non-tech types) that to get the internet now you click on the 'f' rather than the 'e' cos 'f' is the like new 'e'..
On the other hand, TightVNC is not usable for serious work even over a cable modem.
For truely serious work, it's not usable even on a loopback interface to localhost.
Ha! Not true, I do all my worked while VNC'd to myself..:p
We have a guy at work who VNCs in from home occasionally (over adsl, no probs), once he thought it'd be fun to try to VNC back to his home machine.. I think he ended up yanking the network cable or resetting the box before something had an aneurysm.:)
Also, not a good idea to set VNC to poll the whole screen for updates if you've got the windows network system tray icon turned on (ie, it lights up when packets are sent/received). Tends to slow things down a whole lot:p

I would prefer that he wakes up matrix-style, and realises it was all a game.
Now *that* would be funny. And kinda ironic. In a black fly/chardonnay kinda way.

I think he is cooling the water with this.
No, that was his dad. Bruce Schneier is that annoying guy from those Adam Sandler movies.
"You can do eet!"
I heard Ashton Kutcher is up for the role..
I wonder how many people went into history or archeology because of the Indy movies?
Four

Fuck that - just get QT and Robert Rodriguez to redo all the original Star Wars (ie IV-VI) films.
With Uma as Leia, of course. And Antonio Banderas as Luke..
Vader to Leia - "Torture you, that's a good idea.."
Luke, intro to Part 6: "I killed a helluva lot of stormtroopers to get to this point [...] And when I get there, I am going to Kill Vader"
Ah, I'm gunna stop now. I think I've sufficiently run this idea into the ground.
Easy:
People buy this shit. Who knows why, but they do.
Now who's cynical?
..but I can see the main problem with them..
.
The main "problem with them" is George Lucas going totally batshit fucking loco
That sounds awesome! Where can I get big sheets of lithium?
(I also understood what you meant. And the other guy, too)
Ah crap. I just posted along similar lines, further up the page.
Now I'm redundant, too.
And I don't actually think a sarcasm detector would be all that useful, when you think about it.
Thanks to all the dozen or so people that have posted this.
It gets funnier every time!

It removed the two extensions I use the most!
Bad, bad, BAD google! I am now rather pissed off.
they did, but she went to school ages ago.
I refine my own gas from barrels of crude, who knows what you get from the pumps these days.. :p
wouldn't want to pay by credit card then! :p
...without fail for the life of computer
So what, a week? ba-dum-ching!
8 pieces friend chicken.
I prefer eating the chickens of my enemies
Giving rise to "Get in my wallet!" where people post photos of the insanely huge cheques they get from venture capitalists..
What, you didn't like "Sand is rough, but you're so smooth" or however it went?
It was a comedy, right?

Hah! Microsoft is more focused on providing a "stable, reliable product" than adding more features?
Is that a flying pig I see?
The VCR was an early predecessor of the DVD player. Lower in quality, and only programmable by a select few..
