Half the articles on Slash are about Microsoft so if people are passionate about the subject why aren't they allowed to discuss ?
This is not a free speech forum as most of you would think. It has become a place where people play GAMES to satisfy egos raise karma points for self indulgence.
Why do people that have legitimate topics get censored as 'Flamebait' when talking about microsoft or comment on KDE and GNOME being more bloated than Rosey O'donell as a 'Troll'.
Why do people that CUT AND PASTE news article get rewarded by the IDIOT moderators of this website with a +5 informative moderation ??
Does anyone else wonder about these mysterious subjects ?
Who in their right mind would pay money to Slashdot ? Very bizarre.....If you got cash to burn , how about giving it to the needy instead lazy millionaire Commander Taco.
They have 100 % percent market share right now. Letting them have enough to still make obscene profits doesn't seem to hurt them. It would be enough to foster more competition. Sun , Hp and other Unixes might creat x86, Athlon pc desktop version of their great software and don't forget BSD and LInuxs'. It's not Unamerican to put a CAP on their share because they STOLE marketshare....Damnit. Why is everyone against this ?
Where are you learning it's unAmerican ?
I am against the world here. No one seems to get it that they put people out of work . They stole money out of people's pockets.
Anyways , seperating their OS from the OEM(computer makers) would make great sense. IT would reduce the cost of their operating systems . Comparing Free linux to $ 100 Xp is not difficult decision.
When you look at Moore's law for chips and then look at the performance of hard drives you can see that the hard drive is the biggest non inovative mechanism in your computer.
Holographic storage will be the key but until then why don't these hard drive manufacturers try to innovate by adding more than one read/write head on each platter of the hard drive.
So the government was wrong in closing down Enron.
They were wrong in closing the saving and loans of banking scandal in the 80's.
They were wrong in breaking up the Bells.
They were wrong in breaking up Standard oil.
You said the government can't force market share but they can put laws and legislation on businesses that are oligopolies . So why can't they put a percentage on marketshare ? Break up Microsoft and put regulations on market share to allow fair competion..........since they ROBBED many small businesses and many people to get their position of power.
They commit crimes just like any street criminal except they stole billions . The government has protected them under the Reagan and Bush administrations they have gotten away clean. This browser case by the government was an absolute joke.
When are people going to learn that Microsoft knows that the HEAT is off and they are back to their old ways.
They will keep doing this until SOMETHING(some state government not buying any of it's bs) forces that company apart, stops OEM exclusionary system and installation of XP software, and LIMITS their marketshare at a certain percentage. Something like 60 - 70 % would be good for me. This would allow true competition in os software again.
That would be a start. But the GOV didn't have the NADS to do that so let's just be content and enjoy their workarounds and trickery.
Slashdot Mirror
Waschowski brothers wanted to cast their own people in the Matrix films but Warner told them no way. So Warner cast Keanu Reeves in the movie.
.
I wonder who they would have originally cast as NEO. I hope not Kevin Costner who was also mentioned by Warner. The source is Wired.com
Hollywood is pure Nepotism and directors putting their fuck puppets(milla jovavich,Cybil Shepard) in their films.
I wonder how much faster a true vector processing computer would do against the hybrid g5/altivec cluster ?
Using vector processors for weather forecasting simulations is the major strength of that type of computing.
But I don't think anyone makes a vector processor anymore except for NEC or maybe cray.
Isn't that just life.
Isn't this a messageboard ?

It's getting to the point of stupidity.
Slashdot is starting to suck.
go to some other sites like techdirt.com
Your an idiot if you give any money to this website.
This censorship is so much bullshit.
Why not set up some control station just for SPAM ?
It can be done but they wont do it.

seagate barricuda 2hp
explanation. Still don't like it. We needed something like this. I did see a Bestbuy computer that had raid by vector i think.
seagate barricuda 2hp
Should have kept making them. Raid is not great for the desktop.
Why don't the operators of the internet just sue these clowns and their product manufacturers and put a stop to this stupidity.
It would be nice if some VOICE speaking for the INTERNET would just say "Were not taking this shit anymore and were gonna nail you little bitches! ".
I don't think there is anything difficult in stopping it. Just clueless management.
And please don't tell me that the internet is not managed by a few companies because it is.
Keep dreaming you crazy niggah. :)

The government is evil . Andrew Carnegie is god.
The government is satan. John Rockefeller was a genius.
Sherman antitrust act = rubbish.
Robberbarons good. People that want fair wages and working conditions = communists.
YOur right. Same as what Carnegie thought.
Good one.
Splitting up monopolies is not a cure for creating competition in the marketplace.
The government still has no clue.
It would be interesting pitting a electric or gas powered R/c car controlled by a human vs a computer controlled car on one of those RC racing tracks.
Any music put on harddrives is almost always inferior to regular cd's.
I can see where they are going with this.
An IPOD sound system.
But that's why I have a computer.
Don't need it.
Anyways I always buy American quality stereo systems.
Worked great for the Bells.
Bye dick.
Splitting companies up doesn't work you uneducated jackass.
Bye Bye troll !
What's wrong with that ?
Don't you think something needs to be done ?
Don't you agree that the present legal verdict is a bit of a joke and microsoft knows every hole to exploit ?
It would be better than outright banning them from the market.
They have cornered the OS market if you didn't know. People that have tried cornering markets have or should have gone to jail.
It was just Flamebait ,nothing more.
Pure attempt at attention.
Don't you all agree ?

The moderator that me offtopic is an idiot and another example of happy censory moderators that may have a bias towards KDE.
X and KDE consume way too much memory.
Why is his statement trolling ?
Isn't trolling looking to create flames and stupid statements? So.....why is his statement a troll Mr. Moderator ?
I have an old computer and KDE slows it to a crawl.
Does anyone remember all the comments on this website about monopoly's win95 being SLOW and Bloated . Well ???? Do you ????
If I find the moderator that called this post a troll he will be META-moderated and hopefully moderation duties taken away.
