Since the same time a person who wins a hundred mile race by an inch is close, even though they have a 100% win record compared to the competitor's 0%.
If there just would be a sponsor for such project + some apache developer interested..
"Fix perchild" was one of the apache / google summer of code projects; I haven't seen a status update since "someone has expressed interest in doing this" though:(
Would this be the same thing that gentoo's had for a few years? I seem to remember it somehow broke my python:-/ (I forget what it was exactly, and can't look it up; I did the sensible thing and switched to debian a year or so ago:-P)
And for all the people who complain about it not being a sport, or it not being fair, you're all just as jealous as myself that you can't play computer games for a living...
Go jump off a cliff... don't want to? You're just jealous of my cock:/
For a less retarded introduction into logical fallacies, see wikipedia.
Alternatively, you may just simply store all your passwords in a.txt file on your Windows desktop
A surprisingly good idea, in a way; sure it allows anyone who has physical access you your machine to get access to your passwords, but all the keyloggers'll detect is "ctrl-c, ctrl-v"
Isn't it about time this comment got put on the "copy & paste trolls" list, alongside "quake 3 is hard to install" and "piracy killed my music store"? It's been refuted so many times, it never provokes any discussion that hasn't been said a hundred times before:/
JPEG2000 is significantly better than plain JPEG (much better lossy compression than JPEG, better lossless than PNG on some images); the group who made it promised that while it is patented, it'll be free to implement the basic standard. I'm already using it for my personal work, isn't it about time it got some proper app support? (I use it for lossless backups, but that means converting with Imagemagick every time -- It'd be nice if the GIMP could edit it, and even better if something like firefox would support viewing it online~)
Why do I get the feeling that this is secretly a test to see how many times a summary can have a meaningless buzzword repeated before people start complaining?
"Linux Claims 4 of the Top 5 Supercomputer Spots... Anonymous Coward writes to tell us that the November 2005 list of supercomputers has been published...."
Google is just passively indexing web pages so that they can deliver targetted advertisements. Microsoft can drive search into elements that are outside of the web -- office documents, corporate email, even application systems inside your company.
MS are still using akamai's linux-based services; but linux isn't the point - akamai are just the only company to have that sort of bandwidth management stuff for sale.

The individual files have been slashdotted (getting 2kb/s), the torrent which contains all the files put together is likely to download faster than any of the files individually...
Exam? Bah humbug. I couldn't get online to submit my university application, with today being the last day to get it done:/ They were saying "get it done early in case something bad happens", and I thought "Nothing can happen... unless the internet goes down. Heh, like that'll ever happen!"
Would it make more sense if they were to say "Apple is best" while using MS products? IMHO that they prefer one platform and they use that platform is perfectly sensible...

You'd rather be stuck with one lame editor than have a choice of two great ones?
"Fix perchild" was one of the apache / google summer of code projects; I haven't seen a status update since "someone has expressed interest in doing this" though :(
For that solution I would use http://www.lighttpd.net/
lighttpd does separate user per vhost? I scanned the docs looking for that feature, but couldn't find it :-/
Would this be the same thing that gentoo's had for a few years? I seem to remember it somehow broke my python :-/ (I forget what it was exactly, and can't look it up; I did the sensible thing and switched to debian a year or so ago :-P)
Slashdot is a news aggregation site; that it has stories that appear on other news aggregation sites isn't really that surprising :/

Or several thousand cheapo off-the-shelf grains of salt, which can do the same job cheaper, and it doesn't matter if a couple fail :)
What if you're doing something morally right, but illegal, or socially unpopular?

Pass me some of what you're smoking, kplzthx.

(I have debian stable for servers, breezy for family desktops, and will soon be bughunting dapper on my own desktop)
cough, cough.

(...or am I missing a Simpsons reference?)
... even EMACS?
Only the english version, all the other languages are still marked as beta :/
And forcing them to use IE isn't? :p
... did you not read the first sentance of the summary? Sellout in one day = Lots of publicity = Lots of sales the day after

Bah, dreams. After a few weeks of ADOM I started to flinch and turn to run whenever I saw the letter 'f' in real life
