Even assuming that they are correct, and that most of your time and effort will be wasted if you go to usenet looking for a specific solution, isn't it your choice whether to waste your time?
After all, it's not illegal to search for your lost car keys by searching every square inch of your ceiling, then each wall, and then start looking on the surfaces where gravity is most likely to be keeping them...
Perhaps their actual objection is due to maintenance or bandwidth usage which they no longer want to support for cost reasons.
Good for him. It makes up for at least one person whose article he rejected while putting up his own personal rant which has nothing to do with anything relevant to the Slashdot readers.
Screw him.
I just ran it against the page and it returned some errors, such as the invalid attribute "language" in a JavaScript block (only type="text/javascript" is required. There are a few others. Not many, but a few. Most of them were due to the login links, so maybe some symbols have to be replaced with their equivalents, such as changing & to &.
Employers cost employees billions annually in clothing and shoe sales to conform with arbitrary company dress-code policies. Film at eleven.
Seriously, though. How much car maintenance, clothing shopping, gasoline and other work-related expenses do you pay out of your paycheck with zero-reimbursement for your employer?
What does IBM have to lose? Easy: They're Linux proponents. They want everyone with OS/2 to switch to Linux. It doesn't further their agenda to give people/an(other)?/ alternative to Linux.
Besides, who wants the dedicated OS/2 hobbyists to maintain OS/2 when their attention could be so much better used on Linux? That's probably IBM's opinion.
Get a Happy Hacking keyboard (Yahoo store) or on Ebay.
I used one for years until I bought a hard-wired Dvorak board, and then a FingerWorks TouchStream LP.
I wish all keyboards used the Happy Hacking shortcuts.
I love/use the TouchStream LP keyboard and iGesture pad from FingerWorks(.com).
Not only does the Touchstream eliminate the reaching entirely, but it includes gestures which allow you to do simple things like cut, copy, paste, scroll, and many other things by doing finger motions. I got used to the gestures in minutes.
The iGesture has the same gestures, but is a mouse-pad sized touchpad.
Both recognize various gestures performed with multiple fingers at the same time, unlike any other touch device.
The only downside (aside from the price), is that getting used to typing on the flat surface with no tactile feedback was tricky. After a couple of weeks, I was pretty much back to normal.
I'd advise anyone to check out their forums and ask questions. You'll learn the good and the bad. For the most part, the users think it's the best thing since the study of ergonomics was invented.
Yes, I RTFA. But I didn't like what I saw. Compared to the FingerWorks devices, this is like 20-year-old technology.

;o) Probably the handheld version, too.
Super Mario 3
Tetris
If I could have a system which played all of these three games and connected to my TV, I'd buy it.

Judging by the performance of using Novell Netware shares under Windows compared to a Windows server...
