I just donated and I have a nice idea for an additional slashdot filter.
I wish I can add a -6 score modifier to anyone who is too cheap to donate.
I bet that between eating McDonald's, drinking Coke, buying CDs and then paying the bandwidth bills for bitching all day on slashdot about why you aren't going to donate just leaves some people impotent.
Considering the fact that you are concerned about the Israelis treating the Palestinians unfairly and go so far as to state that both sides are equally guilty. What are your opinions concerning what the Jordanians are doing (and did) to the Palestinians? Do you think that suicide bombings would be understandable in Jordan as well?
We live in interesting times as far as the Linux desktop is concerned. We saw two great desktops emerge for Linux: GNOME and KDE. We are also witness to a paradigm shift in the approach to development under Linux, brought about by the different needs and demands of the desktop environment. The server space has its own, well rooted developers. Most of them cannot switch to developing under a desktop environment successfully unless they too notice the paradigm shift.
Are there any interesting innovations in cooling clusters of computers? Are most clusters and main computer rooms still cooled by central air-conditioning?
Nuclear submarines show us that given the space constraints and enough money, cooling solutions can become very interesting.
I almost spilled coffee on the floor via my nose when I read the title. "Cool" is manufactured, mass produced and marketed every day. Did you think that the kids decieded that "Nike" is cool all by themselves? Who told them that "British Knights" is in/out? Get real, "Cool" is what's on the self with the biggest glossy poster.
Never trust a corporation with anything you value or at least with proper constraints over that corporation.
If you want to feel safe that you can use your service tomorrow too then run jabber or any other service that you can run a server for if your main server stops.
The researchers are very welcome to use my workplace, it has managed to age me 30 years in as much time as their machines do (at least I feel like it).
Might I also suggest showing the CDs and DVDs our collection of SCO stories? Those get old so very fast. They are guaranteed to feel like its been 20 years already.
Could one collect the information streaming from these cameras and use it as a source for random number generation? Over a large number of Webcams the rate of information change must be huge. At any given point you could also single out darkened cams and use their CCD noise too. Doesn't sound too difficult to do (for someone else, someone with brains that is). How would this compare to typing randomly and jiggling my mouse as a source of random numbers?
Mr. Doe I'm sorry to say that your son's report "What Microsoft Applications I Ran This Summer" was not graded because our systems can't read old Word files anymore. Please upgrade to a newer version of MS Word at home and resubmit your son's work for grading before the next semester.
I am very glad someone took this cognitive step. At last I can strike another item from the list of things in my life that are NOT related to Guiness. Mmmmmmmm Guiness...
You have every right to use it without accepting the EULA, and if the software forces you to accept the license in order to install it, then the license is void.
The license is not void. You think it's void and are welcome to try and defend your misuse of the software in a court of law. Effectivly the license is never void because 99% of the population will never have a chance to justify their misappropriation of the software.
If you do not agree with the license, why buy the product? By purchasing the product you give your vote of confidence in the business practises that created the license.
Can you justify buying a pair of shoes made in a sweatshop when others are available? Can you really say that purchasing those shoes is not the ultimate act of consent for the company's practices?
Slashdot Mirror
They found out that the way to solve the Collatz problem was to prevent the hailstone sequence from happening in the first place!!
The DMCA: Democracy Means Cash for Americans
please do not access the site, it would be hypocritical of you.
Can anyone explain why thermoelectic coolers (Peltier coolers) are not the standard accessory to any cooling kit?
My guess is current draw.

"Uranium Pebbles" Sounds like a great name for a breakfast cereal. Makes your teeth glow!

Just wondering out loud.
If you use a Web browser made by people and not corporate drones you will never have to see another pop-up/under/over again.

You are of course very welcome to use someone else's infrastructure.
Just don't be surprised if one day they decide to stop giving you the service.
My main point is that if it is their network then 3rd party clients really can't complain.
Never trust a corporation with anything you value or at least with proper constraints over that corporation.

Serves people right for trusting closed systems.
"Significantly Sized"? Is that a PC way of saying fat?
Let Jabber step up and recieve its rightfull place.
I'm inorganic you insensitive clod!
Low-cal diet extendes life, expands consciousness. Low-cal diet is vital for space travel.
Thats the longest extension on a CAT-5 I've ever heard of, I'd go with wireless instead.
You'd also have God's wrath to deal with when he trips over it when going to the fridge for a midnight snack.

When I was 5 I decided that the floppy drive of our C64 was thirsty and promptly poured a half liter glass of Coca-Cola into it.
Children are a joy.
So here is my idea:
