The parent is the funniest post I have ever read on slashdot. Congrats ciroknight, I will laugh for the next 12 hours continuously. And there will be an IP address for every transient of the waveform when sampled at 10^50 Hz.
Shouldn't tech-saavy people condone productivity? I mean how are you going to be taken seriously if you deliberately try to avoid work. Do you ever wonder why most import cars are vastly superior to domestics? Maybe North Americans should be more concerned about work ethic. Technology should be used to streamline the workflow and increase productivity, not bastardize workflow, generate annoyances that somebody else has to clean up, and stagnate progress. honestly...
Honestly, printing has become useless. Just email everything, deliver PDFs, or if worse occurs, use public printing services for 5 cents a page. Waste not want not.
Cringley has fabulous idea here. Similar to the Mac OS X on top of Mach/BSD thing. The x86 architecture is the same, endieness is the same, system calls are different, but abstractions and wrappers could be written to compensate. Sure there would have to be a crossover API (analogous to Carbon), but in the end a closed source (and a large one at that) on top of the stable extendable 2.4 kernel would be the bomb.
Anybody who uses a fileshare client can quickly figure out that if a file is not multisourced, it might not be legit. These files will not be kept on peoples drives, they will get deleted right away, and then their presence will shrink into oblivion. It's a sneaky idea, though.
The cost of having one long lasting artist is lower than that of many produced teeny-bopers. Case in point: 5 x Britney Spears boom and bust = expensive. 1 x Rolling Stones = less overhead and more profit. This is a human resources problem, just like the IT industry. It has everything to do with "Knowledge management" but on a talent level. As a studio owner and attempted rockstar, it hurts really bad when music is commodotized beyond an art form.
In The US and in Canada, recording TV broadcast is legal. What you choose to record is unrestricted. It is not illegal to use technology to quell annoyance.
You don't need a fast machine, the graphics are so cheezy that you can't see any blood, and it r0x0rZ my b0x0rZ. Oh yeah, and you can multiplayer on, like, 1 machine.

Yes there is.

Yes, you can. GNU/Minesweeper
My university uses this already in the Agora (Lakehead U, ON). Pretty popular workstations, and very stable.

After this and the like, it's only a matter of time before the public stops believing in the technical equivalent of payola.
