My mother is not able to get around anymore, and netflix has been an excellent service for her. She is the kind of account that Netflix (or Wal-Mart) don't want, as she gets movies constantly. Of course they would rather you sit on a couple, three movies all month.
If you are stuck at home, this is great news. And the fact that wal-Mart can do it in a couple days is even better.
I was in high school when it came out... I thought it was really lame. The effects were horrible. About as good as "The Martian Chronicles" staring Rock Hudson.
Like most MFTV crap, it always falls short of its potential.
Once it is in the garbage, it is NOT fair game. Not if the dumpster is on private property....
We had a competitor sifting through our garbage gleeming information about our customer base, we found out and successfully stopped him (through the courts). He had to turn over what information he had (the original paperwork) and pay a fine.
The same is true for the construction industry. Go into a new subdivsion and try rifling through a dumpster looking for disgarded wood scraps or other building material and you can be arrested (at least here in the Chicago area).

Turn off the computer, and Fyodor is a socially inept dork. The fact that he was tricked into that "troll" rolled out by SDEM is proof of that.
Sorry, but Fyodork was wrong in doing what he did. And that is only the one incident that we are aware of. Who knows what type of underhanded crap he pulls on a daily basis.

Agreed, however I did not state that compitition is bad, I simply stated that Intel does not need to be defeated.
Your #3 is proof of that... no Intel, and AMD would be too big for thier britches.
The great thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from. Subtle but important difference. IHTH.
I like AMD as much as the next guy (running an 1800 XP), but I'm not sure why Intel needs to be defeated... good company, good products.

The grass is always greener.... Everyone is expendable.
Probably DMCA issues, right?

It appears that the patent covering the LZW compression technology is about to expire... LZW is the compression used in GIFs.
64MB RAM? Now I understand why you were modded funny!
Wizardy and Castle Wolfenstein brings back fond memories of using my Apple IIe...
Ah, well cops turning thier heads is not the same thing as it being a legal activity. They just don't want to be bothered with the paperwork.

Don't get your hopes up... you AD&D'ers are still the nerdiest. Most hackers don't think they are a level 27 Paladin. :-)
Man, that was quite funny.... thanks for a much needed laugh today!
How does a creative person in that situation, create something at home and not to worry about your boss laying claim to it?
he has been in a tug-of-war with AOL over other projects, like Gnutella. I just wonder why didn't he quit first and then create/release WASTE?
You completely missed the point, congratulations.
Speaking of getting informed, SuSE is a German company.
Why do the old systems go to Europe to die? Arn't the Germans responcible for keeping the Amiga alive?
Are you Frodo from middle east?
NPR ran an interview with FCC Chairman Michael Powell this morning, it is available here.

Interesting... and he flat out denies that he would use his powers for evil.
So who is lying here?
Well, it would not be Slashdot if someone was'nt bit-picking! :-)
"Knoppix is the ultimate live CD"
That's what they said about "Peter Framptom Comes Live" too.
There can only be one ultimate!
Bullshit. It is not racism, and where I live they are owned by Indians or Pakistanis.
No, the comment stands. Try loosening your shorts a notch. That's the problem with this country, over the top political correctness.
