I don't get it. What's a startup? This Huminininity place is a startup? It's two guys with some weird software and a terrible web page with no bandwidth.
What is their business model? Selling people t-shirts while they use the software for free?
I'm one guy. I also sell t-shirts and give away software. I'm a startup too!
Google will sometimes return pages that do not have your search terms, but that links to pages that have those search terms.
At least, that's what the Google guy at Gnomedex said.
So what happens if everyone buys "shares" of some terrorist attack, then the DoD sees this and manages to stop the attack? Does everyone lose their money?
What are the "interesting issues surrounding the Turing test?"
I don't think generating a poor quality recording of some random word has anything to do with useful artificial intelligence.
I thought the reason CD sales are down is the same reason sales of most things are down, because people don't have as much money as they did before the bust?
The library is under a license other than the MPL or LGPL.
We try to make the library work for hours, only to find it doesn't do exactly what we need, or is horribly broken.
We try to use the library, but it's broken, and the developer lives in France and only responds to emails while we're asleep.
It would be faster for us to write our own then to decipher someone else's code.
The only real third party library we use mostly does the job, but we had to wrap it and implement all of the features it didn't. In the end, we should have just created our own library. The way I see it, it's just one more thing we can sell.
Maybe the idea is that since you can use all of the.NET languages in the same project, you can do the things that a functional language are good for in F# and the rest in C#.
I think the authors may be a little delusional, what with every other sentence being "This is a revolution! We're awesome!"
However, this looks like it could be fun. Maybe what push technology needed all along was to be distributed and controlled by the users.

Could I possibly harness this plasma to generate 1.21 gigawatts? If so, it could really help me out of a little jam I'm in.
Look at me! I'm getting free advertising under the guise of an "insightful" question for Slashdot!

That BeOS Max page has the goatse image on it! Don't go there!
Could you not be bothered to find out for sure? Why is your source for this non-information a web site about overclocking?
Oh, wait, it's okay. This isn't real journalism.

#1 is obviously a Klingon battlecruiser, dorks!
But how long does the 360 stay in your rearview?
Thanks for informing all of us that skipped 1998 that Google Groups used to be DejaNews.
Yes, because the majority of the content on Slashdot, and all other sites, is visual. Oh, wait, it's all text, just like this!
Yes, free email has no purpose for blind people!

I don't care about open source. I just use what's best, and what's cheapest. If you think about this stuff too much you'll go crazy and/or geeky.

Some or all of these things happen:

As opposed to Qmail, which does not require 2 lbs. of paper to describe?
No, instead you like some stupid assembler getting between you and the machine. If it doesn't have a front panel, you're too far from the metal.
Maybe for your next trick you can ask The Times how to copy video games!

We can be sure Apple is hard at work on something exciting for 2005. They just won't tell us about it two years in advance.
Sure, but I think Steve Jobs was busy with Apple in the 70's, not NeXT.
So are software patents okay now, or are the only okay when they might reduce the number of pop-ups people without Mozilla have to see?
"Unsophisticated" people being paid twice their wages at Burger King will protect me by spotting terrorists from the privacy of their own homes!
