<wolf> 1. Save every Free Credit Card Offer you get, Put it in pile A <wolf> 2. Save every Free Coupon You get, put that in pile B <wolf> 3. Now open the credit card mail from pile A and find the Business Reply Mail Envelope. <wolf> 4. Take the coupons from pile B and stuff them in the envelope you hold in your hand. <wolf> 5. Drop the stuffed to the brim envelopes in your mail and walk away whistling. <wolf> I have now received two phone calls from the credit card companies telling me that they received a stuffed envelope with coupons rather then my application. They informed me that it they are not pleased that they footed the bill for the crap I sent them. I reply with "It says Business Reply Mail" I'm suggesting coupons to you to ensure that your business is more successful. They promptly hang up on me. <wolf> Now, I did this for about a month before it got boring, so I got an added idea! I added exactly 33 cents worth of pennies to the envelope so they paid EXTRA due to the weight. I got a call informing me about the money, I said it was a mistake and I demanded my change back. After yelling at the clerk and then to the supervisor they agreed to my demands and cut me a check for the money. I hold in my hand at this very moment a check from GTE Visa for exactly 33 cents.
This probably isn't enough for a story, but Google finally has translation support for Eastern languages... I've tested Japanese, Chinese and Korean. They seem to be a lot like Systran's (babelfish) translations, but not exactly.
Step 1: Put your hand on the mouse. Step 2: Move your mouse across your desk relative to the "light" image next to the person's username. If you keep it "hovered" over it for a few seconds, it should say "Alter relationship". Step 3: I'm going to introduce a new concept now. I call it "clicking". I won't go into depth on it, but you can probably check Wikipedia for a 5 page tutorial. Here it is simply: Apply pressure to the left mouse button. Release button. Step 4: The screen should change to one with the title "Your Relationship with" and the person you want to add to your list's name. Read this page. Step 5: "Click" on the circular box beside where it says "Friend" or "Foe". Here's a hint: "Friend" means you like them. "Foe" means you don't. You probably learned this concept in grade school. I ate paste most of the time and I still learned how to distinguish between the two. Step 6: "Click" on the button that says "Yup, I'm positive". Our friends at Slashdot have kindly spelled this out in terms we can clearly understand. Step 7: You're done. You are now given a nice list of who's in your list.
Dammit, I knew I should have previewed. Someone should tell me how to post on Slashdot.

I'm not talking about rpm, I've used it a lot. I'm talking about the program that searches RH's online server for packages to install. Someone help me out here...
It's just a collection of people saying stupid things on the the Gentoo forums. And for the record, I run Gentoo, but NOT for most of the reasons the people quoted say they do.
For some reason I've liked Portage much more than Debian's apt-get, whatever Red Hat uses (the name escapes me now) is just broken, and as for the others, just about none of their package management systems are nearly as good as Debian/Gentoo's, so I won't be touching them for a while. For instance, I'd like to see a list of packages that need updating without going through all of them.
Gentoo's Bugzilla (mainly for ebuilds) is awesome. Just about every time I've had a problem, I can find a solution there. Yes, I'm saying that Gentoo's not perfect. It isn't. But at least I know it's getting better. Not sure if Debian has one, but the mailing lists sure are a pain to sift through...
Speed? I don't care. I've got a working system (AXP 2100+/512mb DDR333) right now. Sure, I have to wait for the new things I get, but I'd rather "emerge mplayer" instead of hunting for the binaries.
Sure, you might say "Go back to Debian". I'm used to Gentoo now, though. I might give it a try again if I'm given a good enough reason, though. I sure as hell hope the installer isn't as bad now as it used to be, though.
Uh, the quality is the same as any North American DVD. Is there some standard that says that Japanese DVDs must be of lower quality? No? Ok, then. I have it, I've watched it, and the quality is excellent.
Ok, I just want to point out that Hawk's translation is WRONG in many parts. I saw the official translation that the Toronto Film Festival, and it differed greatly in most parts. I can safely say that at least 50% of Hawk's translation is complete BS. I've heard that 2 other groups are subbing the dvdrip, so by all means, WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE ELSE DOES IT. Or even better, watch it in theatres. It's worth it.

This is just fucking great. 20 minutes after I install a GeForce FX 5950 I'm playing Interactive Fiction. Thanks, Slashdot.
Wow, it has pretty pictures and everything. Thanks.
There should be more documentation like this on the Interweb.
Wow, I could make a living writing documentation.

>Would those even be light-emitting LED diodes?
Light-emiutting light emitting diode diodes? Yes they affirmatively would not wouldn't be.
Reminds me a lot of this guy's projects. He made some damn cool things out of LEDs there, complete with howtos.
How come they block Bugzilla links from Slashdot, then?
Yum, that's it! Thanks.

Slashdot doesn't care. Post your problems on Bugzilla instead. More effective, too.

Ppth. Not like I care about them. I just wait until I'm drunk to install software.

Dell is not owned by Microsoft, but they don't give you the option. Apple IS owned by Apple, so.. uh... Why wouldn't they put OSX on their computers?
