Actually Microsoft Bob and Clippy are now in treatment programs for substance abuse. Its sad how life all goes to hell after leaving behind the security of Microsoft.
As others here have mentioned this article seems out of place on the front page of slashdot. When there is other much more relevant new items that can be posted, even in the games section.
EA has been getting alot of bad press for their working conditions.. I wonder if they are laying out the dough to the slashdot editors for a little grassroots discussion of their titles.
I predict this wont be the last time we see this....
And, upon seeing this ridiculous spam survey slow his connections and eat up space on his Exchange server, Jack Q. Public, IT Manager extraordinaire, set every address in his domain to autoreply:
IT MANAGER, NO THANKS TO MORONS LIKE YOU.
And yet IT manager still came in 3rd.
Phone Sex operators must have really good internet connections.
Free worldwide communication. To almost anyone else. Free. Free. Hmmmmm..
This would make it so easy for Big Brother(TM) to feed these calls and process them for keywords and given enough storage space keep a record of everything said over the phone.
I'm not understanding why you couldn't solve the "You would not know if the particle had been observed by Earth yet" by having agreed-upon times by each party in the communication line when particles are read, set and when waits take place.
You are right.
You do not understand. Time is relative.

I saw the movie.
I think I know how this is going to end.
Sorry, not impressed.
The "argument from googlerank" is pointless.
I would have gone with the Chewbaca Defense. Page rank for the Chewbaca Defense is 15,300.
It just doesn't make sense.
Were it not for /. clearing up the FUD, their stock would probably still be flying high on rampant speculation.

We might even end up with politicians who know the difference between Sweden and Switzerland.
There is a difference?
I think I had federal agents come in my apt with a Secret warrant.
I came home and my apartment was all cleaned up.
But I can't say for sure cause I think that would be against the PATRIOT ACT.
Actually that spells UCE. Spam is spelled S-P-A-M.
That line is probably almost as old as the condom most /.'ers have been carrying in their wallets.
OMG what a great idea. Definately would be more convenient if I started carrying one around with me.
Damn how many times do we have to go over this folks?
Downloading music is copyright infringement and not Stealing. That is currently how the law is written.
Its apples to oranges. Just because you keep calling an apple an orange doesn't mean you will get orange juice when you squish it.

Have any of you seen a demo that supports hardware acceleration? Maybe something that uses openGL?
Yeah, I think I saw something called Quake in a computer magazine or something.
Make sure you have DirectX 9. I usually dont keep up with this so I didnt know.
What's this about "The Popular Demo" being 64k? It's actually 8,854,016 bytes long.
:-)
Probably a result of it being zip compressed.
Come on. If you have an XBox already it can still play old Xbox games. If you buy a new XBox2 you still have your old XBox to play the old Xbox Games.
In reality is this really an issue?
