If you say "A x-ton meteor", it won't be quite as impressive as saying "A meteor the size of the empire state building", no matter how many tons "x" is.
So, to paraphrase, people are going to be more scared of "a meteor the size of the empire state building" than, say, a 1.743 SEPTILLLION TON meteor?! (It's from a neutron star, ok! Yeah, that's right, the superdense core of a long forgotten exploded neutron star is plummetting towards earth, and people aren't really that scared, cause they don't know if it's car or building sized... people... go figure.)
yeah, cause nobody in their demographic uses windows... I'm sure all the 20 to 45 year old women that chat on aol are doing it on Linux through WINE and won't be able to log onto "There" and so won't attract all the men. (But maybe some of the 45 year old men will sign onto AOL and pretend to be young women...)
I'm sorry, you're just not making any sense. Was that really a reply to my post, and if so, what in my post makes you think I'm saying we should submit to "the will of the M$"?
I even get annoyed sometimes when it takes me a couple extra tens of seconds to find an app due to different menu layouts.
You might want to start taking anger management classes... Also, lay off the computers for a while, they're a known stress inducers. Try to redirect your hacking energies into cooking or fish or something... We just don't need any more frustrated angry linux geeks...
He didn't write any of it. Anyone could have done it. I encourage you people with mod points to REFRAIN from modding parent up. That's free karma. We can't allow that, can we?
Yeah, cause we can't have the AC's using up all our precious karma, can we? What kind of Karma whore are you!?
I dunno... that doesn't seem too "instant" to me... That's slower than the 9 month lottery "instant" win, and probably worse odds trying to beat the M$ legal team too... I wouldn't waste my time if I were you....
Cursed heavens... that seems like a bad idea...
cursed havens, on the other hand... that might be a reality. I just think that "heaven" by definition, can't be cursed...
For starters, I'd suggest Americans need to be more understanding, tolerant and mature. There's no need to get angry at the French or paranoid about job-loss to third-world Indians.
In line with some jingoists, I think we should replace *any* mention of the French with freedom, so the above quote should read: For starters, I'd suggest Americans need to be more understanding, tolerant and mature. There's no need to get angry at the freedom or paranoid about job-loss to third-world Indians.
which, I have to point out, is improper grammer... Please, please don't use improper grammer.
I doubt a high enough current could be induced through this mat to do this. Granted its probrablly ok for short term use but in the long run i would imagine that it would wear out batteries faster.
It seems to have worked fine for powered tooth brushes and razors... Please don't just make stuff up...
This would also affect all those convenient emails that come to us from different companies though, like the daily dilbert, that I love, the emails that tell me I was outbid, the emails that tell me when my suit will be shipped out. I don't like this idea, not one bit. Who would get the money?
Wouldn't you be able to give them an authenticating key so that they could send to you freely?
Perhaps I don't understand but the whole reason I purchased an iMac was to have the great OS and the suite of apps that came with it. The hardware is good but nothing that amazing and could be purchased on the pc side for a lot less money if all you are going to do is turn around and install a linux distro. Am I missing why this is a "Good Thing"?
Can you say "powerbook"? I don't think you can buy one without an OS on it for cheaper than you get an apple branded one... You may think that there are equivalent ibm clone laptops, but alot of people like the design and performance of the powerbook and can't get what they want elsewhere...

Hmm... I'm pretty sure that some of that is improper grammar...
And as a follow up to that, knowing your password generation system, can you actually just give us some of your usernames and passwords? Thanks in advance.
After seeing this story go up, it made me actually think about the interview longer, without being so pressed to try to get my response in quickly. I actually went to their website, and read through more carefully then usual. - Which got me to thinking.
Why not make stories have a ten or fifteen minute delay to allow people to actually READ the articles. Have a little timer that says how long until the story goes live for comments. This might take care of some of those who never read the articles.
Just a thought....
Dude, that wouldn't work... people would just wait fifteen minutes to post and not read the article anyway. The problem is not that they don't have the chance, it's that they don't want to.
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, but this one is only 4 months old. (Dec. 4, 2002)
Nit-pickers aren't welcome on slashdot...
If we wanted to be corrected all the time, we'd surround ourselves with bored know it all geeks -
Oh.
Um. Back to the drawing board.
Why, you greasy little chicken, posting AC... You just haven't got the guts to insult me in person, do you?!
It sounds too slick to be true... I can't waste my time here.
Yeah, I got one that works with the beta... I don't know if it'll work with the commercial release, but here ya go:
Username: Haxor4LiFE!
Serial: 1!NUX-VV4NT2-2B-FR33
Let me know if it works...

You have no chance to survive (the modding), make your time.
It must fail. It's Windows only.

I wish I had a slow ("taking a slow processor (say a P4 2.0 GHz),") processor... Am I out of the curve or what?!
I hadn't heard of GothMolly till about 1 minute ago, but I value there opinion more than Eugenia's.
"Anonymous Coward" seems to have solid opinions, too!
How can I add him to my "friends" list?
I even get annoyed sometimes when it takes me a couple extra tens of seconds to find an app due to different menu layouts.

TOTALLY different sound, and despite the lack of bass in the Grado low-end models, I bet a donut you'll like the SR-60 better.
OK, I'll take you up on that...
Ok, I like the Sennheiser HD-600 better (It makes working man sound AweSOME...)...
So, ah, make mine a maple bar.
Do you deliver?

When are they gonna offload something interesting, like 3-d rendering, to cards instead of abusing the poor cpu?!
Oh... wait...
Sorry about that; my computer date was set for January 3rd, 1987... let me get out my soldering iron and correct it
if you read this post off of this article, it looks like, No, you can't. Ironically, that post was put up about 8 minutes before you posted...
