Quality vs. quantity is an important concept when dealing with search engines unless you have the time to view 200 million page results yourself. My ideal search engine would return 100 results max per query.
Isn't it sick how The Rest of the World (TRoTW) is always so down on the USA but when then the States accomplishes something great then TRoTW always jumps on the bandwagon? Fuck you it's a a great day for Human Innovation. This is a day to congratulate the USA. No other country on earth is at the point politically, economically, or technically where they can have citizens launching private space flights. Sure you can argue that the Da Vinci Project was close but guess what? They didn't fuckin' win. They didn't even get in the air. It was just a big ad for GoldenPalance.com Disclaimer: I'm a Canadian.
Its good to be able to swap components and enhance current in hand hardware (even if its removing 5 lug nuts).
Yeah but people don't ship cars without tires. Throw a WiFi card in there and make it user upgradeable. But don't ship it with an empty slot. That sucks.
I'm already running a linux web server over DSL and I'd love to push the video to that in order to see the video on my cell phone when we are out and the babysitter is home....uhh....babysitting.
Do you get your kicks spying on people? Seriously though, do you tell your babysitters that you are secretly taping them? How'd you feel if someone was secretly taping you?
The Gamecube has the whole on-line vaccuum which many Nintendo fans say is no big deal. Because they don't understand why there is excitement around on-line gaming. (Trust me, there is)
No, there isn't. I get my fill of idiot kids calling me a faggot while I play games online with my PC. Besides why do I want a bill for my broadband connection and a bill for XBox Live? It's absolutely stupid.
Sam and Max 2? People are waiting for this? I remember playing Sam and Max on a 486 with 4MB of RAM. What's next? Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego 2?
More than a third of the 493 PC users surveyed by the nonprofit National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) said they had a greater chance of winning the lottery or being struck by lightning than of being hit by malicious code.
This is a meaningless statistic. I bet if I surveyed 493 Slashdotters with the same question I'd get somewhere around 90% answering the same way because it'd be the truth.
The elephant will kill thousands, perhaps even millions, of ants.
The problem is finding enough ants willing to be killed. The Russians didn't have that problem because they had no choice in the matter. Personally, I'd rather not d/l music if it means being sued for thousands.
Are you tired of tripping over the cat's litter box in your bathroom?
People keep their cat's litter box in the bathroom? Might as well keep it in the kitchen or your bedroom. Why keep it in a room where you spend a lot of time? Do people like smelling cat shit? I keep mine in the basement. If you don't have a basement keep it somewhere where no one goes.
WTF would I want to run ANY version of Windows at home, if I'm running Linux?
Because you're not some guy looking to find a sweet deal on a PC at Wal-Mart. These are people buying cheap ass computers and putting the OS of their choice onto it. How is that any different from what the average Slashdotter does?

Why switch at all? Winamp still works doesn't it?
Let's listen to the guy who still lives under the rule of a monarchy. I'm sure he knows a lot about modern governments.

Not according to Reuters they're not. Music revenues are up but not CD sales.
Wal-Mart employs 950 000 people so I'd think they pretty much set the standard for their industry rather than paying above or below it.
No, there isn't. I get my fill of idiot kids calling me a faggot while I play games online with my PC. Besides why do I want a bill for my broadband connection and a bill for XBox Live? It's absolutely stupid.

Not many. What kind of Linux user would buy a computer with Windows preinstalled when he could just build his own and not pay the MS tax?
I guarantee if you were to run Ad-Aware right now it wouldn't come up empty handed.
So what are you worried about? Evidence collected without a warrant is inadmissible in a court case. You're still in the clear.

Here, I've highlighted the important words for you.

Bullshit.
A neighbour is someone who lives in your neighbourhood. Not someone immediately adjacent to you.
If a product is known to be dangerous then why are you buying? The courts aren't there to protect you from yourself.

I thought the whole point of Open Source was that it didn't rely on any one person. Or do you believe that when Linus dies Linux dies with him?
Yeah it took me all of 5 minutes to drive to Walmart. But once I got to the checkout it really got complicated.

Does everyone realize that his name isn't Clippy? His name is actually Clippit.
I guess whoever modded this Troll didn't have an answer to my question.
