...that I used to play on a text terminal. (Note to kids on/. -- Terminals used to be relatively dumb devices that displayed 80x24 characters, but had cursor positioning commands).
When that first came out, back in '88 or '89 I think I lost a week's productivity to it. I used to dream the tetris shapes quite often....
...there have been more Linux attacks than Windows hacks.
I have had "scratch" Linux machines (i.e., ones that I didn't care about) broken into. One via a "lpd" buffer overrun remote-root exploit, and one via a similar nfs exploit.
I've *NEVER* had this happen to a Windows machine.
Of course, machines I care about are behind a hardware firewall that blocks EVERYTHING (including ICMP/ping).
I'm amused by the way these kids on this site think they did something "new." They didn't, but this culture we have discourages kids from asking senior members of their community about Prior Art. (After all, what do us seniors know about High-Tech?)
Here's a robot violin, built over 65 years ago! And here's a "robot" mechanical harp, built in the 1920's.
Want to see something more recent? Here's a mechanical MIDI-controlled BANJO and GUITAR, currently being sold by a California company called "Ragtime:".
Sure, it's mildly interesting that they used their lego toys to get the mechanicals right, but people have been plucking string instruments with robots for at least 80 years.
Unfortunately, many (if not most) sites are now served as "virtual domains" with the servers choosing the right site for the IP address based on the host name in the request.
But maybe it's time for a serious attempt at an alternate DNS system.
2000-2010 will be the "dark ages"....

...for photography. 80 years from now, there will be more photos around from the early 20th century than there are from the early 21st century.
I was asked my my employer to find a way to archive digital photograhs for 100 years. My solution? Print them to black and white film as "color separations" (R, G, B).
your argument is that you'll somehow magically shed those pounds if you stuff yourself with butter and beef, well you'll make grand and exquisite corpse.
The primary gist of my earlier statement was not to dis the atkins diet as written, my (shallow) analysis finds it not nearly so extreme, nor so remarkable, as most of the most vociferous partisans (on each side) seem to believe.
I'm sorry, I didn't make my point very well.
Here it is: Suppose you need to lose weight. You're eating a balanced diet, but, after counting you calories you disover you're getting 2800 a day, and you want to cut back to 2000 a day (let's suppose you're an active person) so you can drop some weight.
For me, it was much easier simply to stop eating bread, fruit (I took fibre supplements and vitamin supplements), and just eat eggs for breakfast, tuna out of a can (no dressing) for lunch, and a small steak (or fish) for dinner.
It's the same I'd usually eat except: no toast/juice with my eggs, no bread with my lunch, no potatoes or dessert with dinner.
Now, this "diet" is way too high in fat to be balanced, but I got there by *eliminating* foods, and not adding anything different that I wasn's already eating. It would proabably be compliant with "Atkin's" rules, too.
Fat is a great appetite suppressant. If I were to eat a low-fat Muffin for breakfast, I want another one as soon as I was done. If I were to eat 2 eggs (70 calories apiece) and a piece of cheese (lets assume 100 calories), I'd have 240 calories but FOR ME PERSONALLY, I'd feel fuller. I suspect that many other people feel "fuller" after eating fat than the same amount of sugar or carb calories.
Is this diet bad? I haven't started eating anything I wasn't already. I basically just sliced off the bottom of the foot pyramid and left the top. My LDL:HDL ratio is fine, I have a physical every year.

Except if you need to lose weight, it is easier for many people to cut out carbs/sugar than it is to cut out fat/protein. So if you're looking to cut calories, ditch the bread, the potatoes, the fruit juice and the soda. That's easier than trying to eat smaller portions of everything, and easy to follow.
My pet peeve is when sites hype and announce new-and-improved sites, and then they come out and they are simply a gigantic flash application.
These sites really aren't IE sites, they're Macromedia sites, designed for the Flash "browser". (And why are they all designed by the same guy: "Skip Intro")
Anyway, developers *are* following the Standard. The Microsoft Standard.
According to the W3C, "Amaya" is the browser against which to check compliance. Have you ever tried using "Amaya"? I thought so.
...that nobody really likes Linux for the right reason.
Zealots use Linux because they hate microsoft, not because it's better.
I'm prefectly happy with Windows XP, which for $200 has a great on-line update mechanism included in the purchase prices.
And for the occasional project where I need Unix, I use a real Unix distribution: FreeBSD. (For some reason, FreeBSD hasn't attracted the Zealots and elite-hacker wannabees that Linux has.

....thatza offensive website *and* a spicy meatball!
Imagine G-D getting a woman pregnant! And sending down a messiah so lame that he didn't get it right and a "second coming" was needed!
Not to mention the idol-worship, and the deification of human beings.
The TRUE WORD OF G-D is in the TORAH
The Messiah has not come to redeem the world. That should be OBVIOUS to you.
...because if you take a look at populations that use NO CAFFIENE (i.e., the MORMONS), you'll see a lot of WHACKED-OUT NUTCASES.

SUCK MY DICK you macintosh faggots who can't bear the truth!
When Microsoft has an auto-update for XP, you bash them.

Why? Because I don't run around saying "Linux Rules! The DCMA SUCKS!" like /. wants us all to.

That's why people like "Atkins"
