Slack is great for those users who like to be able to tweak their systems down to the bone. Not to say you cant do this in other distros, it is just easier in Slackware. Its a very bare bones, highly configurable distro. That appeals to many folks (myself included).
Everytime someone mentions RFID, the privacy people get to sound off about being tracked and the government being out to get them
The article makes no mention of using this technology for anything other than alerting drivers about road conditions and paying tolls. Even the article title here on slashdot is misleading in that regard.
A lot of people dont have a choice whether it be for work or personal reasons. "Voting with your wallet" is often an impractical short-term solution for people that need a piece of software to work now, not when the company decides to port it to linux.
Its been said over and over: OS's are tools, they all have their strengths and weaknesses, use the right one for the job.
Umm, Perl is not dead or dying. It may not be used as much as it used to for CGI programming but in the world of system administrators, it is still very much alive and even growing. An admin without perl is making his or her life much worse than it could be
How many people at Microsoft do you think speak the language of 'upper Mongolia' fluently with all the different dialects? Aside from costs, I think knowledge of the language is good reason for them to let local programmers write the software in their own lanuage...plus it creates more jobs for locals!
Companies should develop a solid storyline and some good gameplay characteristics before announcing a game. Id rather have a fun game that doesnt require the latest and greatest than one that has all full motion video but no real substance. Hell i still play Quake 1/2 and Duke3d. Those games have stories and they are fun to play!

I thought that was Lindows market. Has WalMart dumped Lindows or are they coexisting? If the latter, that will be extra confusing for Joe Sixpack buying Linux at WalMart
There are plenty of jobs for government agencies and firms that do a lot of contracting for the government (defense). Your average programming job for financial software or something equally mundane is going somewhere else.
Most of the menial programming jobs that can be modularized so to speak, are going away. Innovation and product specialty is here (for now at least)
-Voter walks into booth
-Voter touches appropriate button on screen
-Voting machine records the vote electronically and also prints the vote on paper (maybe in like a scantron type format so it can be easily recounted)
Done?
Apple starts bundling iPods with HP desktops, how does this make a difference. Its well stated that Apple makes nearly no money off of iTunes so what would the advantage of putting iTunes on HP machines be? Is it the case that iTunes hooks people onto iPods? Doesnt seem that way to me
First off, I feel like I have to declare that this is not a troll so it wont get modded as one...
If they want to see how much I paid for dinner last night or how much my Maxim subscription is, be my guest.
And before you folks start with the 'slippery slope' argument, remember that it is speculative. Anything could happen, that doesnt mean it will.
I have a certain trust and faith in our government to use these powers within reason (even though there have been notable exceptions, Skylarov for one). Remember that the govt is made up of people and people make mistakes and there are always a few bad people that may stay under the radar but they usually get flushed out

Exactly...how many? Care to back this up?
...for the comments? I know this is slashdot and all, but that really has no place in the article summary.

What could possibly require that kind of hardware for an 'average' desktop user? Is it the new filesystem? Do you need 3d glasses?
Ill be graduating in May as well and the range Ive seen is 45k to 55k

Since the site is down, could someone explain what FOAF is?

How are multiple repositories (even in CVS for that matter) handled? Anyone have any experience with either Subversion or CVS?

That doesnt mean Apple, cell-phone manufacturers and other peripheral manufactuters will.

Where does it say that? I see nothing of the sort in the eWeek article from this posting.

This is NOT a dupe. That was a completely different article. Everyone needs to quit looking for reasons to bash slashdot and ms
