The rich and famous of a society that explore, take chances, and are inexplicably daring are often idolized by the poor and less fortunate.
My guess is that they idoloize them because they're not poor, and relatively fortunate.

that's actually a valid component of matter - for example, in a wonderful bit of irony the dean of my college's physics department was composed mostly of hardons. The students bookbags generally contained ironons, too.
and if you read enough Frijtof Capra, youll find out about the zen-tastic yin and yang of the particle known as the "waxon", and its complement - the anti-waxon.
Up until the "ZZZZ" part, I was thinking you had enlisted the emacs psychiatrist as some kind of a surrogate mom. Now I realize that you probably just have a really buggy version of emacs.
There's always been an interest in an open source implementation of Java developed in a clean room that adheres to the Java standards..'We're in discussions with Sun. We'd like to do this with their support."
If you're going to do it with Sun's support, then why do you need a clean room? Or, if you're going to do it in a clean room, why do you need Sun's support?
Nah, dude - that's the over/under. You bet a certain amount of money that they'll either charge you more or less than $350. Personally, I would go with "over" - word around the campfire, you know what I mean? *taps nose*
my friend and I have a running bet for $1000 + reimbursement of the cost of the tattoo to the first one of us to get his entire body tattoed with the Linux kernel code. I dont recall what the latest versions line count was but I imagine its far too much to fit on a human being (unless you get that guy who writes on grains of rice to do it), so if I were going to do it I'd probably go for an earlier version just so I know it'd compile.
Oh. you can begin making jokes about how it would take a morbidly obese man to tattoo the Emacs source on now...
Actually, an MSN search [msn.com] on "microsoft google slashdot" is pretty piss-poor.
I know, I did the search and I actually got an ad that prompted me to claim my very own free DVD player. Unfortuantely that was, given the search results you mentioned, probably the most reliable link there.
at what point does this kind of research (and subsequent advertising that arises from it) become more like pulling levers on human money-machines (you WILL buy Alex Chiu's immortality rings...) and less like a free market proposition (I got these rings. Want em? Don't want em? OK.) ?
Slashdot Mirror
oh, it's a game! When I first read the title I thought they were using a euphemism for "vaporware"...
I've got the perfect theme song: "No Windows, No Cry"
point and click? Why not first person shooter?? Aww I was so looking forward to getting my hands on a BFD (Big Flippin' Defibrillator) too...
if you cant see chapter 1 (this page is blank for me), just go to the "printer-friendly version" here.
wait - then are the things we can deduce from these facts conspiracy theorems?

OK now it's just being a smartass.
DOS is a tad more than "several lines of code"...
Dammit! Alex Chiu wins again!!

funny, i believe that was pee wee's argument too.
oh man - you know you've got a troll-ific article headline when even the "must...stop...jokes...too...obvious..." jokes seem too obvious.
Well we can't have any of that - it's altruistic, selfless masturbation only in the forums, bub!
I don't think I wanna know where "Microsoft Bob" fits into this theory...

It also would've shown that you can make a pretty decently-sized sandwich in the time it takes to generate results.

Hey it could be worse - ESR looks like he was born when God was going through his "cubist" phase.
