Lets see, I have worked with eight Turing award winners, I have designed operating systems, databases and security systems. I am the editor of several current standards. I have no need to troll. Sounds like your definition of 'miseducated' is 'holds a different idea to me'.
You're a troll. Had you actually done any of those things you would have given some sort of specific detail for at least one of them.
Don't be too proud of this architectural terror you've constructed. The ability to carve a head in stone is insignificant next to the power of a Slashdotting.
Just because the/. editors can't be forced to warn sites before linking to them doesn't make it good practice. Just because they can't make a law against being an ass doesn't mean that it should be something to aspire to.
While this movie seems to have little in common with the original Eando Binder story, we must remember that this isn't the first time that the name "I, Robot" was usede in an unrelated work. I seem to recall a moderately sucessful science fiction author using it as the title for a compilation of short stories (which did not include the original story) back in the 1950's.
Not all normal citizens are restricted access to crime scenes. Police don't usually have much trouble crossing police lines. Why should they get rights that reporters don't?
Actually, I have read the original script. It can be found here.
While it does contain elements that went into the entire trilogy (a desert planet, bickering droids, a chase through an asteroid field, a swamp planet, an uprising of primitive natives against an Imperial installation, and the redemption of a Sith Knight, among others) the overall story thread was very different from any of the finished movies.
Actually, from what I've heard the whole "Episode IV" part wasn't added to the film until its 1979 re-release, which contained one of the first trailers for The Empire Strikes Back.
Netscape for OS/2 is the most stable version of Netscape that I've used, although that doesn't say too much. The port, AFAIK, was done mostly by IBM, and they seem to have some good programmers, even if they have the stupidest management in the known universe. (They bought MS-DOS, and 8-bit CP/M clone for their 16-bit PC when they had already written a 16-bit version of CP/M for it in-house.)
No it isn't the Linux community's responsibility to meet the needs of companies. However, as far as I know, most of the Linux community wants Linux to be used as widely as possible. If Linux doesn;t meet the company's needs, then they won't use it. One less computer running Linux, possibly one more running NT.
So basically you're saying that you don't WANT Linux to be used by anyone other than the people that developed it?
You can make an operating system easy to use without losing any functionality. All you need is to provide users with all the information they need when and where they need it (instead of making them have to read through pages of documentation in order to accomplish a simple task) and to give reasonable defaults. (I'm still waiting for a UNIX distribution that properly maps my keyboard by default.)
Slashdot Mirror
He's got red cars, he's got green cars, he's got enough cars to choke a camel!
Yippee!

I find your lack of bandwidth disturbing...

6. Profit!!
Return of the King Kong?
These floors are dirty as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore!

Maybe it comes equipped with those leg-rockets we saw in ATOC...

That's what I wanted! And then they could follow it up with Episode III: Some Damn Fool Idealistic Crusade.
I didn't have much faith in AtheOS
Does anyone other than me see the irony in that statement?
The original Dead or Alive, I think. Never played it (don't like fighting games all that much) but I've heard that about it.
Got any data to back that up? I'd be interested to know exactly what it was supposed to do, and why it went wrong.
The looked like cavemen.
What about this?

My idea: Star Trek: Red Ensign.
Make a show about the ensign-in-the-red-suit who is always getting killed.
Every show would end like this: "Hey! You killed the ensign! You bastards!"
I think that he was a bit off. Power attracts a lot of people, but it can only be achieved by the corruptable.
