Nah, I bet it was just a little glitch. They probably just forgot something minor, like shipping the textures... (Wireframe gaming! Woohoo!... Wait... That would suck. Nevermind.)
Well, starting an arms race and finding out the other guy has you out-gunned: that won't help. Having one that'll knock his socks off though... Well, as that great philosopher once said "They say the best weapon is one you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree. I prefer the weapon you only need to fire once. That's how dad did it, that's how America does it, and it's worked out pretty well so far. -- Iron Man"
Among other things, it has been confirmed that cellphones, computers, handhelds, iPods, small children, toasters, garage door openers and SUV owners are all vulnerable to this flaw.
The only device that isn't vulnerable to this is the Nintendo Wii. The theory is that the swinging of Wiimotes manages to sling the problematic code away from your device.
If you think that your computer might be at risk, pick it up and start spinning in big circles. This might create enough force to dislodge any vicious code.
>My (aging) PATA based system can't even handle 2MB off the internet, which I can get from a couple websites that just so happen to be hosted at the same site my employeer peers at. 40Gb? Disk platters would fly out of the case.
In other news, a 75 year old woman was killed earlier today when the disk platters from her computer's hard drive flew out of the case, proceeding through her, and her little dog too. Many analysts expect the grieving family to sue Google, the owners of the interwebernet, for the emotional grief caused by the blazing download rates.
I was sleeping last night and this came to me in a vision. How about we have all of the major television networks choose a candidate. They will all appear on TV during the same block of time. Then we just check with Nielsen. The candidate with the highest rating wins...
Yeah. I know what you mean. I kept trying to convince the developers to use a scheduler that would make the CPU run faster than physically possible myself too. They just went all crazy on me.
I guess we'll have to keep on using a scheduler that decides how to schedule the CPU time instead of one that can run all the processes at once.
Silly developers.
> Also, is this installation of Vista a clean one or is it jacked up with crapware?
Same thing.;)
Must... resist... "Vista is crapware"... jokes... AUGH!
In other news, SCO has announced that as a linux company, Microsoft is actively participating in the infringement of 294 items of SCO's intellectual property. The Free Software Foundation immediately came to Microsoft's aide, going as far as to offer legal council in the event that Microsoft could not afford it.

>> Blu-Ray has Disney and A-list titles like The Incredibles. It is content that drives sales, not cracked DRM.
Right. Now all they have to do is come up with some good content...
Slashdot Mirror
Nah. The real factor is that the soaps are better in Spanish.
But can it run Linu... oh... right.

Idiot. If I wanted my information to be pure propaganda, I'd watch the news. You're just making your party look bad (err, worse.)

I very distinctly read that as News for Nerds. I don't know anything people visit this site too! That's a completely different audience!

>>Jeez, do guys you turn off lights by hitting the switch with a hammer?
Yes.
You must be completely unlike the WoWers I know from college. For you its largely a social experience. For them its largely an antisocial experience.
>Dude, some days, being a developer I think is probably worse than working out mathematical calculations at NASA.
I agree complete. At NASA it doesn't really matter if the numbers are right...
Has anyone else noticed that "Microsoft Says 'War On Terror' is Overblown" came 36 minutes after "Storm Worm Rising."
They say that timing is everything...
> Excuse me, but how do you know their actions weren't mandated by the government? Because I am the government...
>not to nit pick but aren't pid's generated by random() anyway?
No. Each PID is higher by one than the previous Processes ID.

Now as long as she doesn't become a spammer we're all okay...

>Overall, a great PR stunt.
>4.5/5 (points deducted for lying about needing to install Windows on a newly purchased PC[1])
I agree. She needed to install (Linux || BSD || BeOS || OpenDOS || Jaguar || You're favorite non windows OS here)...
Oh, what? That wasn't the point you were trying to make... Oh, right...

Wait. Does this make Microsoft into a legal hitman? Cool. I think I'll start giving all of my enemies copies of Vista, XP and Bob...
Google is dead. That's like destroying the whole Alpha Quadrant. At least slashdot is still alive...

You don't even have know anything about (or even use/own) technology to get sued by the RIAA either...
