I'd hate to move to an asteroid outside of earth's orbit and die from this stupid cellular aging when I could've been floating above Uranus staring at that big red spot.
I understand what yer sayin... but it never turns out that way. Ever.
Places will fall in love with what I have to offer. They don't care about my tattoos or piercings. In fact, I am the (as my "office award" said) Creative Psycho Genius.
Deep under cover, the Economist works hard to blow the lid off the scandalous BSA.
But the BSA has a few tricks of their own, and their own army. People around the Economist mysteriously start dying and/or disppearing.
The Economist is determined... to blow the lid off this story.
And then the final scene - it's revealed to the Economist that he's really a warrior from god, and that the BSA has been heavy into the occult and needed the lies of humanity to feed the gate to revive Satan (played by TV's Patrick Duffy).
The lesson is more like "no use bitching about things YOU can't change."
You posting that, is it gonna change China? No. Is MS backing out of a deal going to change China? No. They will find someone else to do it instead.
Might as well get in there, get your piece of the pie, and THEN try to change them once you are well established. MS can't do that shit here, but they COULD do it in China.
I'm surprised no one has realized this, but... if a job is going to be anal about piercings/tattoos, then chances are it's a place you won't be happy with anyway... unless, you are also anal about piercings/tattoos.
If a place doesn't wanna hire me and utilize my many years of programming experience because of my tattoos and piercings, then that's their loss.
If anyone's racism or nationalism is even REMOTELY affected by something like Guildwars and the "Favor of the Gods" message, then they are fucking idiots.
A dealer with a shitload of baggies marked off for sale knows what he's doing.
Just because someone has a ton of files doesn't mean they know what they are doing, nor does it mean they are intending to distribute.
A lot of programs force you to share by default, and as we can tell from the millions of people who repeateadly get slammed with trivial viruses, people still aren't tech savvy.
I think the ruling is good where it states that a copyright holder actually has to PROVE a download took place, as simply having the file available doesn't mean shit.
I am a fan of personal responsibility, and I hate when people always need to blame others for their own ignorance.
See, you have to lock down ANY system whether you're using Linux, Windows, or anything else. That is a given. We all know this.
If you don't properly lock down your Linux box and someone jacks your shit up, is it the fault of Linux developers? No, it's the fault of the user for failing to understand what they need to do to avoid viruses, worms, and other malicious programs exist. It's the fault of the user for not setting up proper permissions or appropriate defenses (making sure updates are applied immediately, firewalls, etc)
If you don't know, then learn how. If you don't have the deisre to learn how, then deal with the consequences. Simple, really.
It's overkill to completely dump Windows and change to Mac just because this goon can't properly manage the machines on his network, let alone take the necessary precautions to ensure that nothing can get in that shouldn't. He's gonna spend much more money taking the easy way out then spending a FRACTION of the cost reading up on how to secure his shit.
Slashdot Mirror
Where are the BIG fixes, changes, and additions?
They really should have a section in the changelog for this.
Things like "fixed function_t() in blah module" doesn't really shine a whole lot of light on things...
Maybe a section such as, "Fixes in this kernel release will improve [list of things]"
Theo Huxtable?
Let's work on immortality.
I'd hate to move to an asteroid outside of earth's orbit and die from this stupid cellular aging when I could've been floating above Uranus staring at that big red spot.
Wait a minute...
Considering I know about the site, yes, I have figured it out.
The point is these stupid cocksuckers who submit stories have the nerve to submit them without providing a reg-free link.
It's rude, and the editors should know better.
NO one wants to fucking register to read news.
Haven't you fucking figured this shit out by now? Jesus christ...
I understand what yer sayin... but it never turns out that way. Ever.

Places will learn to adapt.
They kinda have to.

Fuckin BLOCKBUSTER.
Pay attention to what you invest in.
Learn to read and understand the quarterly reports to make an accurate judgement as to how the company is performing.
Don't buy 2000 shares of stock just because your friend is doing so.
Etc...
You know why it was a boom? Because people saw it as "get rich quick by buying any and all tech"... yeah, not so much.
Hm, no.

Get it?

Eh... Palpatine being the Emperor was not really a surprise considering they're played by the SAME ACTOR.
Emperor Palpatine, Senator Palpatine? I mean... really...
Wild guess, but probably because it's GOLF.
He wasn't getting a million fucking spam a day.
Give me a break... 1/4 as popular as Bill Gates? Doubt it.
I never said I hated christians!
...considering you can buy two SEPARATE 19" flat panel monitors for HUNDREDS LESS than what this gimmick costs.
Way to go, nothing innovative or advanced here.
Here's a bit of what I call "the truth":
If anyone's racism or nationalism is even REMOTELY affected by something like Guildwars and the "Favor of the Gods" message, then they are fucking idiots.
The end.
The last thing we need is a game where Jesus forces his body into the mouths of unsuspecting people.
Hm wait, that might actually be kinda funny...
This is the best comment I've read on slashdot in the past month. Mod this up. I would if I had points.
Amen, brother, Amen.

What are you eating that's so damn expensive?
You could buy 60 packs of ramen for $6.
2 a day, that's easily a month of food.
Stay home from fuckin McDonald's ONCE and there you go, good god.
You people bitch as if you're dirt fucking poor.
You're just a bunch of cheapasses that think six fucking dollars will make or break you.
How long until we have a way to mod the PSP, and is it even possible?
I'm thinking the mods will be along the lines of the PSO exploit for Gamecube, but I guess something is better than nothing.
Anyone know the status on this?
Good thing we have the technology to get them in pink.
I was worried about the advancement of these robots for a while.. but then I heard about pink.
Thank fucking god.
I verb, you verb ... ...just like that?
No, I'm not really a fan of MS at all.

So yes, it is his fault.
