This is a stupid idea. Yahoo and MSN look like a tornado of crap, and have a million things per page. No one person uses all of those million things, so why should they all be on one page?
Pluto is and always should be a planet. If they try to claim it isn't, i think it will start a bigger controversy then creation verses evolution when taught in schools.
I think the same thing, except exactly opposite. I seriously don't think parents and students will rise up and fight vigorously about calling pluto something other than a planet.
I think this is another of the many things that only geeks and astronomers care about.

No. If you're gonna program a computer, learn how to program. The CS field as a whole apologizes for the fact that computers are hard
Sure, keep programming hard, so we can stay elitists right?
I am a professional programmer, I write code just like any other, but I have to say that things like Visual Programming langues have their place. Pure Data or Max/MSP for instance, for writing programs dealing with digial audio synthesis, are fucking brilliant. VVVV for doing 3D graphics pixel shader pipelines and controlling them with midi...
I suppose if I want to tinker at making an FM synthesizer in Max/MSP that must be a bad thing, because I didn't whip out C++ and fucking code everything from scratch. Wow, I might even get results in an hour instead of day. Wow, I might use this as a prototype to later write a VSTi in C++.
I suppose someone who can't write programs in a conventional programming language should be forbidden from having something easy to write programs in then too? They'd better bite the bullet and go take CS if they wanna create anything...
Bullshit.

I would prefer to have the blank media tax, and to just be left alone in peace to do what I want with my media.
Perhaps a better thing to do than wipe the drive would be to take it out and incinerate it. Then obtain one belonging to someone who doesn't have mp3s, and pretend it was yours all along.
That idea might take some tweaking, but surely it's better than wiping your drive which is obviously a cover up.
Why *is* it harder to read from an ntfs filesystem than to write to it?
The current ntfs kernel module is able to understand the formating of ntfs in order to read it, but shouldn't that same understanding allow them to code proper "write" access as well?
It's obviously true that it's more difficult, but why?
I think this is a neat idea, but I wonder why it isn't a standalone program you can run yourself as well as/instead of a web interface.
This is because I wonder why he wants to run the risk of running foreign binaries (sandbox or not) when he could have just not done that. There doesn't seem to be any advertising on the page, so that isn't it.
Oh well, maybe he just thinks it's cooler this way, actually it kinda is, so long as it's safe for him I guess.
That has nothing to do with anything and you know it. It's not hard to find a/. story that you can bash operating systems in *and* be on topic, so why the hell didn't you post there?
Yeah, I might be able to pull this off if they weren't such info hogs, That site is asking for everything but my mother's maiden name.
They want your name, email, address, phone number, MAC address! I think I might just pass this up rather than using mailinator, fake name/address, and ifconfiging my mac address to something else...
Woah, can you imagine how the OpenOffice developers must feel after reading that?
If I was working on some huge Linux project and Linus said it was a disaster, I'd feel pretty bad. I probably wouldn't stop building it or anything, but it'd be a downer.
Blah, boring. That picture shows nothing, which is exactly why he said it wasn't even the picture that caused the firing. MS does not want people to know the layout of their campus, security through obscurity and all that.
You should get fired from a company if you break their rules. Some rules can be unfair and that's a different story, but I don't think this one was.
Apparently, according to reports from Operation Clambake, Scientologists are made to install software similar to this, it overwrites their tcp/ip stack and is used to filter a HUGE list of words and names. It will produce a whitespace in their place. Some sites are outright blocked.
Oh, and here is where I read that.
To be fair, I now understand what you're saying. For example cancer must be more of a problem than murder as well because more people die of the former.
I still, however, think that this is like comparing being killed to being bitten by mosquitos. One is dying, and one is really annoying.

Windows local bugs are sad...
#include<stdio.h>
int main(void){
while(1){
printf("Die!!!\t\b\b\b\b\b\b");
}
return 0;
}
Compile away, and have a nice kernel panic.
HTML is a language? I guess that makes MS Word's file format a language too...
That *is* what the L stands for you know.

Yeah, he was saying that Java is like a buzzword, not design patterns.
I commend you.
That was perfect.
Why the hell isn't this modded +1000 hilarious?
You could do that with a Linux kernel modual by hooking netfilter. Easier.

Toooo much trouble, I think.
So I can finally use my Linksys WMP11 with the crazy Broadcom chipset in Linux?
Please let it be so.

Uhh, thanks for posting it though.

All sources of music on CD aren't members of the RIAA. For an example of music I listen to which is not, clicky.
It is a huge monopoly, but not a complete monopoly.

We can just disagree though.
