Even though it is clearly in its twilight, it's still one of the vest best shows on TV.
I know so many people who absolutely love this show. I've tried to watch it, but it insults me everytime. I don't get it... what makes this show so appealing? I think it's garbage.
Not to be cruel...

but this was a friggin car accident. Seven people died. The car happened to be very very very very very very very expensive.
Like this guy said. All this speculation is ridiculous. Let them do what they do.
Oh yeah... Siberia doesn't count though... no one really lives there. That's just a rumor (unless you do, then I apologize).;-)
Actually, I didn't realize Australia and New Zealand were so far east. I always had them more to the west in my mind. I went and grabbed a globe and, sure enough, I'm a idiot.
Thanks for not being a dick BTW. So many/.ers lately take every chance they get to show how much of an asshole they can be.
Biased? How is my post biased? Because I pointed out that Un pobre guey is spitting the same tired gloom-and-doom shite that many other slashdotters are? I'm pretty fucking sick of hearing it.
Look... the U.S. gubment is rather fucked. Both parties are full of crooked bastards who are only looking out for themselves. BUT, to say that Bush is ignoring the unemployed, suspending our rights, and instituting a Christian version of the Taliban sounds... well... VERY BIASED, IMHO.
You know... I read a post like this and wonder if these thoughts are really his own or if he's just regurgitate someone else's rhetoric. And then I read this...
I cannot believe that some people haven't heard about this. Please, open your eyes and look around you.
You know... I asked a legitimate question. Could I have found the answers myself? Yes. I asked the question not only to learn about this topic, but also to see what kind of responses I'd get. You attack... I say fuck you. Coward.
Most data centers that I've seen have gorgeous false floors with super conduit and excellently run cable, with network infrastrctures that are beautiful. His portrayal of these adhoc centers is ridiculous.
Damn. You should see where I work. Cables laying on the floor. Servers plugged into the WALL. Anti-static carpet on the floor that's not so anti-static anymore. The place is a mess. I've a plan to fix that of course, but the big whigs in this organization have neither the willingness nor capacity to understand why it should be fixed.
I've a feeling a lot more places exist that resemble my work environment than the one you've portrayed.
...what the heck is.Net? Now, before you drill me as a moron or a troll, hear me out.
I've some vague understanding about what.Net is and what it is supposed to provide (XML web services... OK.), but can anyone point me to a good primer on the matter?
I've never even tried to keep up with.Net (WTF kind of name is that anyway?). I've got enough to keep me busy without having to worry "the next big thing".
At what point are we fucked past the point of no return? And at what point should we begin thinking about replacing our current government with one that works better for us?
Yeah. That's a tough one. I see America through sort of warped glasses. I'm American, but I live in Japan, but I work for an American company on an American military base. I'm not sure how I would feel if I lived in the states (I've been away for 7 1/2 years). I suspect most people aren't having their rights violated daily. No strip searches at the mall. No late night abductions by black helos. No SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS when you cross the Texas-Oklahoma border. You know?
I'm not sure what I can do anymore. The Republicans scare me (not so much Bush, but the people around him). The Democrats scare me (Pelosi... [shudder]). They're all crooks. They're looking out for #1 and not their constituency. It would be really nice if we (you know, The People) could fire the whole lot and start over.
I was hoping to say something brilliant and inspiring, but I'm dead-ass tired and sick. I'll just end now while I'm still ahead (or... not that far behind).
While I COMPLETELY agree with you, you forgot to mention the two other ridiculous branches of our (American) government - the judicial and legislative branches. These fucking morons have completely abandoned us. Checks and balances? I'm not seeing it. Regardless of who is "in charge", our government is fucked. Not fucked beyond the point of no return, but fucked none the less.
This brings me to a post I made earlier. People will bitch, moan, and ORGANIZE for a fucking television show, but they'll do shite about this. THAT, I think, is the even more pathetic than the American government.
Are there any governments left that exist FOR the people? Hmmm....
Maybe you didn't understand me. IT'S A TELEVISION SHOW. Yes, it's a good one (I never said I didn't like it). Your response sounds as if I said, "All this pissing and moaning over damned human lives. STFU already. They're dead. Move on."
Do you see what I mean?
Now, if you don't like the dissensiom, "Move on." -- there are other stories to read.
Ahhh... come now... leave? You can't make me! Nany-nany-boo-boo!
(It's also a beer from Japan - but presumably they can't claim copyright since it's a common word and there isn't too much link between software and beer...)
You're calling Kirin a beer?! Get it right buster! Kirin is a suh-weet, suh-weet, beer... uuuuuuggghghnnnngggn!
Or check out #ogle on irc.openprojects.net. They seem like really nice guys. I once mentioned to them it would be nice to be able to pass a command line option for full screen so I could make it stupid-easy for my wife and daughter to watch DVDs (you know... pushin 'f' is hard). They were very cool and said they'd add support in for that (CVS). I'm not sure if they've done it yet (I haven't checked), but their attitude towards my suggestion was very positive. Other projects are not nearly as cool about that (i.e. a player that starts with m).
It's a good app. It has no problems playing any of my DVDs (region 1 or 2). Cool.
Slashdot Mirror
I am eagerly awaiting that day. Then I can get free oil and beer!
I like what this guy said.
Oh wait... I said that.

Where are you anyway? (Just curious).
Nah, it's Friday afternoon i-need-one-more-coffee typing :-)
Friday afternoon? It's Friday morning here (11:40am) in Tokyo... where is it Friday afternoon already?
So, how the hell do you get down if there's a fire? The "Space Stairs"*?.

. . .W, who deserted from the National guard . . .
Really? This is the first I've heard of this. Seriously. Can you point me to some info on this?
Shouldn't this story be on kuro5hin? They're the techie site turned liberal play ground, not slashdot... err... wait...
So, what WAS your point? I could find it buried in that mess.

I had a friend who used to work for MIT Lincoln Labs, he told me there were at least a dozen ways to take down the internet.
I had a friend who worked for Dunkin Dounuts that told me the same thing.
