they block it because it is a "discussion board" according to the snide bastards at N2H2. Luckily, I have a few ways around it after it catches up with the DNS changeover again.
My school runs a filter which blocks slashdot that is IP based. Since the IP changed, the filter won't update for a while so I have access to slashdot again! Praise brak!
I was under the assumption that the author meant that Microsoft takes the place of Apple as the highlight of the show. I know M$ goes to Macworld. Heck, they even went to Linux World, but not as the highlight of the show as Apple always is.
If Apple pulls out, there will still be a draw, but it will be so greatly diminished. IDG will have a hard time breaking even without all the people who would have initially come if Apple were there. There goes the free publicity/great PR/chance to get feedback from the maccies. Fairly ignorant decision on Apple's part.
Finally, something mainstream using flywheels. Initially it was believed that the Segway was going to have one built in, but this should be something to see.
While we can build power plants that work in the same way, what it may not be able to do is work with the same ammount of power output. If it can generate more power, is incredibly well insulated, and is possible to safely extract, it may provide a power souce that is greater than many breeder reactors.
Would there be any way possible to harness the power of the fast breeder in the center of the earth. That could shut Dubya up and keep Cheney alive for at least 5 more years before we can't afford to pay his power bill.
Will Pallidium come integrated with Longhorn and all future M$ products, or will there be an opt out program where you can choose to not use Pallidium.
While most of Dataplay's technology was quite interresting, it's built in DRM may have been it's downfall. They had to initially market to the early adopters (much of the/. set) who are opposed to DRM. Once a technology has been adopted, it would be easier to accept the DRM due to the fact that a majority of the people who owned it wouldn't object.
Can't rule out AMD
on
Going Itanium 2?
·
· Score: 3, Informative
While the Itanium 2 does look quite enticing, what about AMD's Hammer series? It should have lower power consumption, work with x86 programs, and you know the rest. Even Linus posted that he thinks that the Hammers will be better than Intel in the 64 bit market. Don't solely go with Intel.
Ever since the Alpha, I've been extatic about KDE 3.1. The interface is absolutely beautiful (Like Windoze XP and MacOSX got together and had a kid). My only hope is that Debian will get it up on apt within the next 5 or 6 months.
I'm actually quite happy that my ISP (Optimum Online) doesn't block ports such as Netbios. Some other ISPs have blocked ports such as the ports for Gnutella, Kazaa, etc. While my ISP technically doesn't want you to be a server of any kind (as stated in their EULA), they never respond to a lone user running an FTP to access their files from a remote location. As stated by many before me, it shouldn't be the ISP's responsibility, but the end user's. Once they turn off netbios, they'll start putting obscure caps on (my friend has a 15k upload because of one). It should only be the ISP's responsibility if it greatly diminishes service. In the case of my friend, who installed IIS on his Windoze box, some spammers exploited his SMTP server and sent out thousands of spams from his computer which brought many local clients to a complete slowdown. The ISP notified him and let him know. The ISP should be your friend, but not restrict you.
Slashdot Mirror

Ok, I just checked my local mirror, and it's up! On the other hand the gnome-panel is still at 1.4.
Wow. Imagine the implications in major industry. It would be the ultimate glass cutter.
Wouldn't it just be a bit simpler to just type into the dos prompt "net send * BUY OUR PRODUCT!!!!"
Maybe M$ will send their fake switcher there. Heck, Apple should give Ellen Fiess Steve's keynote.

Yeah. And Satan would end his career as the prince of darkness and become a ski instructor.

Could this development aid hemopheliacs?

Since when did you side with Fritz and Disney?

What I'd like to know is if FreeBSD DVD playback violates the DMCA, like watching DVDs in Linux and everything else seems to do these days.
