I think a system should be set in place for slashdottings. Here's a rudimentary I'm making up as I type. For each slashdot article NOT from a major news source (news.yahoo.com, msn.com, and the rest, as oppsed to say, the one we're commenting on) should require some type of agreement. On the website linked, the editor could go to/slashdot.html (per email instructions from the submitter to the webmaster) and see an agreement to slashdot, or an agreement to slashdot with cache.
Obviously my plan has a bunch of holes in it but it was something I came up with on the fly. I think a plan like that would benefit everyone.
It's loooooog, It's loooooog, It's big, it's heavy, it's wood. It's loooooog, It's loooooog, It's better than bad, it's good! Everyone wants a log. Come on get your log. Everyone wants a log, Get your log.
That photo is from the article btw (I read it before it hit/.). Short answer, no. The article describes seeing a bunch of random numbers and telling you to grab that pepsi. Really, it'd be easier and a lot less suspicious to just unscrew the cap and put it in your pocket than to hold a pepsi up, turning it, and writing the number into your palm pilot at the same time.
I don't know if the article slashdot linked to is the one I read a few days ago (it's not loading for me), but the one I read before talked about what kind of calls he got. They included drunks, people calling for kicks, people calling to see if it was a real number, and my personal favorite, guys who didn't realize the number the cute girl at the bar gave them was fake.
Bull. Lindows knew exactly what it was doing when it chose its name. Why would they name their company after the boxes? Face it, Windows is the name of an OS. Lindows is the name of an OS. Windows was chosen when those window thingies were knew and exciting (well, not really, but more so than they are now). Why would Lindows do it now? Lindows is just trying to get a cheap ride.
Although to me, Lindows sounds to me in the same way Folex watches and G.I. Jims do.
I have no idea what and how much of windows' code is leaked, but I imagine if it's the right amount, there might be some illegal forks in the WINE project formulating.
You know, I have to wonder if that's just a.wav substituted for the windows start up sounds, or if its the fans going when you turn the damn thing on.;-)
My point still stands though that the original movie was not called Flubber while the remake was, thus most people's mind shoot to the remake when thinking "flubber".
1. Your penis is small.
2. You thought LONGitude was a worthy investment towards solving #1
3. Your penis is still small.
4. You are fscking cheap and willing to swallow the embarassment of admitting all of the above just to reclaim your sixty bucks, even tho any male with one drop of self respect would simply forget the 60 bucks to save himself the embarassment of admitting that he is stupid, cheap and has a small dick.
Sounds like my Spanish 1 teacher. The worst part is when we learnt about families and she got pocessives all wrong.
"Okay class, how you say 'jour hermano's padre' in espanol?" "Padre?" "No. Es is tio" *under breath*"Maybe in your hillbilly family"
We all failed the test for putting down the correct answers. One other fun thing to note is when one girl in our class showed another what happens when you spray hairspray on a cigarette lighter. She was told to "quiet down".
Ever watch the old Dilbert cartoons that used to be on UPN? There was an episode called "Ethics" where Dilbert was assigned the task of building the internet voting system, and how he dealt with the thought of creating a back door for himself or not. In the end, he decided not to, but some h4x0rs got in anyway and added the candidate "Harry McButtcrack" (or some similar name, I forget) as a joke. The american public voted for him.
But hey, it could have been worse. They could have voted for Bush.

RTFA. It basically tells you to look through the bottle to read the inside of the cap. Purchase is still necessary.

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
No kidding.
I wonder how many people are out there using Knoppix. I'd guess it'd be more than all else Debian. And how long ago did Knoppix start out?
I have another.
Babelfish.
Thank you. Good night.
I'm sorry to say nothing will help you, Mr. Shatner.
Gentoo Offers Knoppix/Gnome/both Live CD's for PPC. I have one, and while it's not as refined as Knoppix, it does the job.

I'd prefer the Porsche laptop.
I do remember when this came out, though. It was a flop. It was overpriced (more than the TiBook at the time), and fragile.
Manly man, aren't you?
Ugh.
You're right, my bad. Freudian slip.
My point still stands though that the original movie was not called Flubber while the remake was, thus most people's mind shoot to the remake when thinking "flubber".
Yes.
Mostly because the original was called "The Nutty Professor" and not "Flubber", even though the plots are the same.

Thanks, I've been wondering about that ever since I posted.
