In fact, neither of us needed an internet connection and a subscription-based DRM system either.
I have to wonder if there's any intersection between the people who complain about digital distribution of software (a la Steam) and people who shriek and throw feces at the entertainment industry for not changing their business model to center around digital distribution.
Just because you're a feminist doesn't mean... that you need consider sexual favors degrading.
Degrading? Perhaps not, but anyone who denies that the sexual dynamic between mammals is one in which the female submits to the male isn't living in the real world.
Red Hat Global Desktop 'would be sold with a one-year subscription to security updates.'
Hmmm, let's see... on the one hand I can start paying for updates after 12 months.... on the other hand I get free updates for 18 months (or 36 months for LTS releases).
Maybe the execs at Red Hat need to update their hat size as whatever they're wearing appears to be cutting off circulation to their brains.
next generation mystery first person shooter for PC and next generation consoles
Next generation consoles? Wow, they're definitely getting a jump on the competition. I don't think I've heard any other announcements for the PS4, XBox 720 or Wiii.
articles like this make me think slashdot should stick to things readers might have some knowledge about, like kneeling on a hardwood floor to eat out a girl's pussy.
Can't they call it "Digital Warfare" or "Internet Warfare"?
"Cyber" is so 1990's... anything that inserts it into the language more often is a nuisance. Can you imagine if it gradually became a synonym for "good"?
NeoOffice 2.1 is scheduled for release on March 27th.
Great - maybe this new version will have the "feature" I'm eagerly awaiting: The ability NOT to have my web browser launched and directed to the NeoOffice web page every 5th time the app is opened.
While it's fine and dandy that the film industry is making use of modern technology, I'm wondering if any "bold" filmmaker will ever part from the 24 fps standard.
I can only wonder what a 60 fps film would look like, but I do know that I've had my fill of backwards spinning wagon wheels and nausea inducing camera pans.

It's pretty obvious that fudgie.org is just the name of the site and glTail is the name of the program.
I don't suppose there's a Civil Liberties Czar by any chance...
If you have no interest in Portal then it's time to hand in your gamer card.

Dude, that pizza was totally cyber!
Ugh...
The Singularity will hit us before any of the problems he describes would become tractable.
And when it does, the question of how do you launch a meatbag in a life-support coffin to go X distance in Y time will be meaningless.
No holes for elinks? Oh well...

I figure the worst that can happen is you get escorted out by security... it's a free speech thang.

Wow, I never realized that studying Latin was a Slashdot prerequisite, you pompous ass. (Goes for "Informative" modders as well.)
