No, this is the "League of Extaordinary Gentlemen," (see the page title) not to be confused with the "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen," the "League of Gentlemen," the BBC, or the MPAA.
You just compared Dune to "The Giver" and "The Adventures of Pete & Pete," thereby making your last paragraph totally obvious to everyone who has read any of the books. The abyss between the Dune universe and the two mediocre fictional "worlds" (if you can call them that) is so wide, you could fit a sandworm in it. Lengthwise.
This review did not impress me at all. From the fuzzy screenshots, to the unimpressive writing, this was subpar.
And while the design of this computer is interesting, I have never been excited about computers with integrated components (They remind me of an old Compaq "briefcase" computer we once had). Perhaps if someone bakes one in the oven and it still works...
Yes, but how long does that take? And if you live in an semi-urban/surburban area, how much processing does it go through? I think you are missing the point - the space station cannot recycle more of its waste, including the (astro/cosmo)nauts' crap.
That's funny. The word "Iraq" seems to be mentioned only once in the third paragraph. And it does have relevance: a major war would both shift public attention away from NASA and could cause budget constraints.
With the bandwidth options in Kazaa (you can both limit the number of uploaders and the max. amount of bandwidth that they can consume, leeching because "i have limited bandwidth" is not a viable excuse.
Seems like a fiber laid in the sewer has a greater chance of being severed than one that's laid in dedicated pipes. What's preventing Joe Sanitation worker from cutting or tripping over these fibers?
Dude, you make several references to fiber which implies that it is open in the sewer pipes. Yet, the sewerbots lay "dedicated" pipes inside the sewer pipes.
His hypocrisy is amazing, though. "You enabled companies to send me lots of stuff in my mailbox that I do not want! I sue j00!"
Can anyone say , "Countersuit?"
Yes, I did read the article, thank you very much. And I got the entire "Apples and Oranges" thing. The thing is, Apple Computers and his telecommunications company work in similar fields, unlike Apple Computers, Apple Records, and your local apple grocer. And that, my friend, "makes all the difference."
I know at least one person is going to bash me for this, but if you were founding a company, wouldn't you try to come up with an original name? I mean, there are a telecommunications company, so it is possible that they could be mistaken for Apple.
Considering the project starts tomorrow, and this story has two completely different links (including one to the official site which has a FAQ with answers to what people posted on Slashdot), no, it is not a duplicate. A followup, perhaps.
If the companies are doing this anonymously, I do not really see how it would helps the public become more tech-savvy. Unless every time you see a headline like, "SuperMegaHacker caught!," you go out and learn more about computers.
When I search heavily on Google (many different search terms) for somewhat common stuff, I find a lot of the pages are the *exact same* free hosting pages with random words on them, that now redirect to this one company's webpage, which had absolutely no useful information, but wants me to pay them anyway.
Well, they have to keep track of lending habits until at least the books are returned. If your library has lending periods of 3-4 weeks, that could be enough time for Mr. FBI to get your current outstanding books.
I do not know what you are talking about. I just upgraded from v0.73 to v0.74 (which is the new "free" version). I notice no cutting out of features.
Of course, you could have been implying that Trillian before Trillian Pro (the new "not-free") lacked features you considered critical. But then, you should have said so in the first place.
For one, the Danish antispam organization falsified an email header to gain access to my mail server. Illegal access to a computer system is, if not a criminal violation, then a trespass on my private property. As I've discussed previously in this space, one of the novel legal theories now catching on for these kinds of unacceptable accesses to computer systems is a centuries-old tort called "trespass to chattels." At a minimum, I ought to be able to sue the Danish company for the damage it caused me from its illegal access.
Just like a lawyer, wanting to sue. Apparently he forgot that he gave those Danes permission to scan his system in the first place.

The second latest "news" item on the Winamp site is their own recommendation service. Go figure.

Last time I looked, NERF products were still in production...
Cool, and kudos to all you guys out there.

Yes, think of the servers!

He's right. Virtually all of the attempts to send me Messenger service spam (damn you, I don't need a college diploma!) come from IPs in that block.

I love the fact that C only says, "Bite me!"
Interesting. I could not find anything on Google News about this. I think you're lying.

That might have been funny, but the article referred to kiddie porn - which is illegal in Pennsylvania.
Well, according to your .sig, I think you do know "what the fuck" you need a 40 gigabyte drive for...

Actually, I think it was a big news day. Check the previous posts, especially the one about p2p.
And what are you complaining about anyway? "Boo hoo, this Slashdot post had nothing to do with my Windows computer. *Sob*"
As they say, "News for Nerds. *Stuff that matters.*"
