So you think this isn't powered by FreeBSD, or at least that to say so would be balderdash. But do you remember how back in the day at the bottom of websites there were all those Powered by Apache/BSD/(whatever) logos?
By the logic you're using, those websites weren't powered by Apache, they were powered by the Generel Electric coal power plant a few miles away. So nit-pick this, buddy. Parenthetically, I'd consider laying off the thesaurus... Balderdash... who says that.
BTW, someone link a Fahrenheit 9/11.torrent please.
Sort of, but whereas BSD is very secure, you'd have to be in a full leather body suit with no holes except the zipper mouth (like The Gimp from Pulp Fiction).
Hey, could someone link a Fahrenheit 9/11.torrent? Thanks.
Bundling is *not* the antithesis of a free market. Not being able to offer bundled services is.
Now, that one can't find what they're looking for like unbundled and cheaper services, as in this case, that suggests that the market is young and not enough competition has moved into town. Also, keep in mind for these larger providers that providing someone with one service in addition to the other, both of which they are mass providers, may not add much to their overhead; so to debundle and offer something at half the price might narrow their profit margin.
So, if you think there are enough people like you who are getting the shaft and that there is demand for what you want, start your own ISP or whatever and tap that market yourself. If you do and you don't make money, well, it looks like the ISPs were making the right business decision regarding their pricing models for their services.
... and multiple personality disorder is not multiple personality disorder, it's dissociative identity disorder. It's the 00's, get with the terminology.
Instead of using these fancy-schmancy browsers with their Park Avenue plug-ins like FireFox/Adblock to block out advertisements and just get the content, why not use Lynx? And no, you don't have to telnet to use it, you could theoretically install it on your own machine and run it locally!
The only drawback is that those sneaky bastards at google dot com have come up with a way around Lynx's state-of-the-art ad-blocking systems by using text ads, and everyone's following suit (cough/. cough).
This reminds me, am I the only one out there who wishes DNS were never created? Not to mention the mouse?
It's all in the name. Think about it - BIND. The assonance of the word just sounds badass for a group of people starved for badassness to the point that they have to describe their coolness using numbers instead of letters.
I am assuming though that BIND is pronounced "byned" not bind with a soft i, because otherwise my theory is bunk. Bind like wind... just doesn't sound that connected to bondage. This has nothing to do with programming excellence, it's all about sexual connotation, however subtle. That's why sendmail is dropping fast to weirdly named but superior servers -- Postfix, qmail? Postfix?? If you can say, Yo baby i'm doing to bust a double horizontal BIND on yo' ass!, it just sounds so right and the program will never die.
Your prescription for schizophrenia treatment is a better diet and some enemas? You have no idea what you're talking about. Meds are the only way to try to help, What fails most of the time is getting the patient to take the meds. Another problem is that psychiatric hospitals can only detain hospitalized people against their will for too brief a period to rule out things like PCP induced psychosis from giving a schizophrenia diagnosis and proceeding to try to find the meds which don't have any adverse reactions. Nevermind.
Schizophrenia is a severe mood disorder, not a personality disorder like dissociative identity disorder which is what you're describing in this stupid poem.

Hey cut this guy some slack.. it ain't easy timing first posts anymore like the old days. Plus, I did it for his clan. He's a soldier and that's why Slashdot has threshold levels. I happen to enjoy first posts and I always browse at -1 Oldest first. I suggest you do too. Funny people, these guys, particularly those gay negros.
One source of ulcers for school administrators is the threat of being sued by the **AA or a major software vendor. That liability towers over bandwidth costs. If a university were to engage in some kind of contract with a company to fill student computer entertainment demands in a legal manner, the unversity would be somewhat legally shielded as they have appeared to have made a good faith attempt to curb piracy. Even if students start figuring out proxying methods to still get their P2P through the school's gateway, a DA would be less inclined to whipe out their endowment.
Drexel Univserity, for example, made a deal with Microsoft years back to let them hand out CDs to students packed with often-pirated software. This was not to save money on bandwidth from inevitable piracy, it was not a decision influenced by ethics; rather it was purely a cover-your-ass legal rhetorical maneuver because they did not want to get sued one day. An investment at a bargain price.
And what's with the title of this article anyway, talking about a company's non-disclosing pursuits, when the jist of the article addresses whether or not this should be an opt-in or general budget thing? Would anyone complain if their university comped everyone free HBO during this last Sopranos season? I doubt it, because this internet piracy thing is the incendiary hot button water-cooler thing whereas everybody knows HBO is a Good Thing (and that it is not TV).
I think you'd be right in most cases, but Microsoft is big, their reputation of "strong-arming" everything from their software to people's opinions smells bad, and now that this blog stuff has received enough attention that the public is focused on it, if they fire someone who constructively criticizes the company (IE without posting a GNAA torrent link), that too would be in the public eye.
The better move would be to either reply to the comment carefully or ignore it, maybe quietly telling the guy to kindly shut up. Someone being fired for not saying exclusively nice things about their company and the company's products would serve as great ammunition to those who'd want to attack Microsoft. Godwin's law would be invoked immediately across the world. Gotta think big picture.
What I'm wondering is why the higher ups at Microsoft appear comfortable with their employees chatting it up in online forums that will most likely become public. Either they are very confident in employee allegiance, or maybe they're betting that what they're doing may be perceived by the public in a favorable enough way that even if an insider talked trash, the public's seeing MSFT's confidence in their employees' confidence (by letting them blog) would outweigh the trash talking.
On the other hand, I could be completely stupid like they keep telling me in #debian.
Hey. Asshole. What was inane and childish was the original remark, and since everyone's bashing MS and Mac, why not parenthetically call attention to the 14+ bugs on Linux reported in one day? Try to step away from the/. mentality.. a quick breather.
Not to mention that I don't see Debian on this list, which is not only a linux distro, it is a popular and 31337 distro. I like the guy's post and hate how it was modded, but he should have noted that Debian is the b0mb.
Now that was fucking funny and clever. Why are we so PC in our modding? This is why I have all troll-marked comments to come up as +5 on my account and I recommend you all do the same.
So long as a given issue interferes with interstate commerce, at least according to article two secion eight of the Constitution, Congress may make laws to regulate it, and American citizens are subject to those laws with some exceptions to certain government officials.

This is like flying your F-16 behind a KC-135R Stratotanker for a quick refill.
With all the improvements in technology, the only thing majorly lagging has been battery performance -- something critical as we're going mobile everything. The only reason I've never bought a laptop is because the damn things die so fast that there's basically no point when you can just wait until you get back to your desktop. All this fuel-cell/fission battery nonsense has struck me as vaporware at best, I hope this is for real.
My question is if a battery can be refilled that fast, how much juice is needed for the job? More than what a 12-volt adapter would put out? If it's small enough, you could conceivably put your own "Stratotanker" in your suitcase and refill your batteries on the road with no need for a power outlet.
Oh yeah, and all these silly electric cars could now become practical. You could recharge your vehical faster than a conventional gas pump. Way to go, NEC! Bring on the radical batteries.
I'll tell you why everyone's so Hubble-happy: NASA pulled a little reverse psychology on us and it worked.
As time passes, especially after a SNAFU or a poorly executed Let's Go To Mars! speech, the public's perceived value of NASA falls. Everyone's talkin' trash, saying "Why do we need to spend billions to develop a pen that can write upside down when people are starving?" and the like.
However, if the government, unprovoked, says "Hey everybody, we're going to disintigrate the Hubble and how do you like that" then the people apparently have the opposite reaction. Most people do not know anything about the Hubble other than it's a Good Thing. What a shame it would be to destroy it! So, by announcing plans to toss the Hubble in the garbage, NASA effectively primed the public to be willing to spend more dollars on space-related stuff.
