Gates has built an empire and a monopoly. Therefore, most people use Windows.

getting old, happens all the time. People drop out of the pimping race. But they are always replaced by a newer crowd of people with what seems an excess of funds. You are not starting a trend, you are continuing a trend as old as humanity itself.
probably because you failed to maintain either the OS or the computer itself. Given proper maintainence, and enough resources in the computer, you should RARELY experience a crash with 2K or XP
DEAR GOD MODDERATOR! Do you know what you have done? by modding a Soviet Russia joke up, you have defied the very laws of the universe, thereby causing them to collapse into themselves creating one giant implosion the will engulf the entire universe, destroying us all! jerk;p
they have been trying to implement this for some time to present themselves as a legitamite company while they continue to make a fortune selling adds and information about the happless fools using their pirating-ready product. Use KazaaLite instead, that way you screw over the music industry and shamman.
if i had the money, I'd be running a render farm right now instead of setting my render to low priority just so I can check slashdot. The software looks VERY nice, but unfortunately, unlike the OS, the hardware can't be had for nothing.
but lindows is one of the last distros i'd set up for my parents. They charge to download software, that's not what i'm looking for in a nice learning package to give to my folks. My mom is able to operate Mandrake (after i had configed it) as easily as she can run windows (which i also configed). Lindows is still a very rude company in my mind, and I won't support them.
well, GPL, being the most prevalent license for OSS, has become nearly synonimous with Open Source for non-technical people. And is that really so bad? If you get the gist of the GPL, then you get the gist of Open Source. The only people whom the license would make any difference to are more skilled in the technical regions and more than likely know the difference between OpenS and GPL. just mho though
you broke it by reviewing it, not him. He can reproduce it all he wants and distribute it as he sees fit. And you not being able to review it wouldn't hold up in the court of law any way.
you're right, this site is in violation of Copyright laws. however, the problem is that the DMCA did step in on this one. Perhaps because of the first word, Digital. Either way, the DMCA shouldn't be getting involved in this.
that's cuz we were busy with our 50th SCO post for the week and Moz 1.4 RC2. I mean, come on man. RELEASE CANDIDATE 2! It doesn't get much bigger than that
well, first off, there is your problem, you're a rapper. second off, if you made it big, and and got 12 to the dollar, then you would have plenty. do the math
Slashdot Mirror
The Editors don't read the site and the patrons don't read the Links. It's a beautiful system of equivalent ignorance.
to me, the most important difference is that Audacity can be run on windows and Ardour can't. for me, that makes Ardour's greatness a moot point.
I think if they could they would. But they lack the means to do so.

because 12 and 60 are divisable by more whole numbers
Won't we need IPv7 by then?

kazaalite has the word kazaa in it. Sans spywayre and ads. it's good for the occasional song download.

they didn't come up with anything new. all they did was apply an Old bussiness model to DVDs.

no, because of tax you have to cary more than a dollar for those damned 99 cent menus... tricky little bastards
well, first off, there is your problem, you're a rapper. second off, if you made it big, and and got 12 to the dollar, then you would have plenty. do the math
well, using crazy RIAA math, you must subtract the negative dollars they never earned due to piracy. so, the equation is 40+30+12--18=$1
