Believe it or not, I found slashdot because of Seti@Home....
There were several of us at IBM who were running Seti@Home on our brand-new super powerful PII-450s - one of the guys emailed us the UserFriendly cartoon of Arthur formulating a plan to rescue Stef from Microsoft, but loosing a few cycles along the way. I ended up reading the entire UF archive. When I finished that I looked for something else to read and discovered this little teal button labeled "Slashdot"...
That was eight years ago and I've never been the same...
No, it was simpler than that. The guy who's gmail account was 'compromised', registered on a p2p site with his MediaDefender (or gmail) address and used the SAME password as his gmail account. There was no 'hacking' of the MediaDefender's computers, just user stupidity.
Years ago, when the HP LaserJet 4 first came out, I bought one at Fry's for $1600. Three weeks later, they were selling it for $1200. I didn't whine.
Wow, and I just bought one last month for NZD10 (about USD7), it even came with a small stack of paper still in the tray. The previous owner dropped it off in the original box.:)
Pete Townshend could probably bust this patent - see Baba O'Riley
The original concept for the Lifehouse project was to plug in a person's vital statistics into the synth and have that as the intro to Baba O'Riley - never worked out in the end, but the concepts the same, I believe (didn't RTFA)
Sorry bub, but when it comes to installation media, there isn't a scrap of difference between the different versions of Vista, just the pretty label. The installation DVD of Vista Home N has the install files of Vista Ultimate. What gets installed depends on what Product Key you enter. In my experience (MSDN subscription), if you don't enter a Product Key during install, you choose which version to install, and off it goes.
Granted I haven't actually used Vista for more than an hour (one time was installing into VPC to see if it works, another in VMWare Server) I've never seen the nagging you would get when it comes to activation, but from the recent work that's been going on, I don't think that it would be much of a problem keeping your choice of Vista install going...
Been there, done that. I had the choice of downloading either the x86 or the x64 version. As I don't have a 64-bit processor that cut down on my choices.
Of course this was through my MSDN subscription and the DVDs turned up a couple of weeks later, anyway...
If you don't want to pay for the software and you have a bit of time on your hands, you could use VirtualDub in DirectStream copy mode for vid/audio - there may be a commercial detection module to add in, but the end result would be the same.
I've started editing my downloaded Mythbusters episodes to get rid of the recaps/coming ups/'who are the mythbusters' and to splice them up so that only one myth at a time is looked at. Managed to remove 5 minutes from the first one I've done (Steam Cannon). I should be able to remove more from other episodes (the more myths in an episode, the more fluff there is to remove).
The beauty of this is that the agreement is not with SCO's alleged predecessor, it is with SCO itself! The original lawsuit is Caldera vs IBM. Caldera renamed themselves to SCO after suing IBM.
This explains why Novell bought SuSE and why IBM helped Novell to pay for it...

Don't forget, this is the guy that created the jet-powered beer cooler as discussed way back when.
While his server hasn't become a smoking ruin, check out his TARDIS MAME console.
And still no mention of Code Reds...
Obviously not everything is in the manual...
Seriously, this is one of the reasons I love coming to /. :)

Hire a lawyer and fight a court case you may or may not loose.
Rotsky!
Sorry. Wrong site.

It's time to Pimp the Gimp!
Wrong! The very first sentence of the ruling states:

I guess the randomness is somehow linked to the stability of Windows...

To match up with NZ's current sheep-to-person ratio, you only need 12 sheep per person...
Don't forget FITH - F*cked in the Head
FF will allow you to set a rule for an entire domain, e.g. sitemeter.com - you'll need to do this manually in the Exceptions panel.
There needs to be an option on the Ask dialog for 'Use this choice for all cookies from this _Domain_'...
At least link to the project page....

Not quite, the main developer (Ben) now lives in the Googleplex (from what I hear, why would you go home?)...he came from NZ...
Some of the release code names for the 0.x series were named after Auckland suburbs (Greenlane, One Tree Hill, etc.)
FF1.5 already supports multiple home pages. Separate them with '|' in the preferences or click 'Use Current Pages' when you have them all open.

An Electric Browser? Sure, I'll just put it next to the Electric Monk.
