You know, you'd think after all these years someone would make an update to Apache which would basically amount to a "Protect Against SlashDot Effect" checkbox. If more than ten megs move out over the course of ten seconds (a minute, hundred megs, whatever works best, this is just an arbritary set of example numbers), the site CLOSES temporarily. Just a blank page, or a user-defined page. "Sorry, we're slashdotted, come back later. Link : What is 'slashdotted'. Click to find out ", or something of the sort.
Of course, in a perfect world all movie links would be torrent files seeded by the server at a max speed of 10k/sec.
"What I do care about (and what you obviously didn't pay attention to) is what the rest of the public thinks about Linux. If the rest of the public sees us as a bunch of file-sharing, website DoSing, ignorant hippies who think everything should be free then it doesn't matter if SCO wins or loses any of these lawsuits."
You'll note that anyone who uses those terms probably will know better. Anyone else doesn't really care enough about computers.
I'm sure EVERYONE's just gonna JUMP on this new standard. I mean, mp3's venerability can't POSSIBLY have anything to do with its lack of DRM. No sir, not at all.
The problem is that when you make a new architecture, you open yourself up to a host of other unknown bugs that might not present themselves until some other odd use of computers shows up in the future.
Buffer overflow seems to be one of the only MAJOR issues with X86, and if it can be fixed within the processor architecture, we're all bloody fine.
The metric system can only simplify things so much

In other news, the DVD consortium has finally approved a standard of blue ray disc drive, which allows optical media to break DVD's 18 megabyte barrier, finally allowing for movies times exceeding 10 seconds.
j0 man, you could get all that in an overpriced retail PC and STILL have better hardware in the end.
Heck, to be quite honest, Dell destroys that debate in its entirety. You get your PC there, you pick up the most expensive warrantee option they have (4 some odd years), and you stick with them for any internal purchases and installs, and you won't have to "tinker", it will "just work" (you get it fixed within the week if it doesn't, without having to leave the house, even.), and it'll STILL be cheaper than the Apple alternative.
Macs are expensive. And not just in comparison to your cousin Jim and his shop part PC's.
$160 a year so you get your ads in well-produced and entertaining 15-mintue blocks after two hours of NOTHING instead of cheaply shot headache inducing 5-minute blocks every ten minutes? STFU.
Actually, no, this can theoretically effictively kill spam.
See, the thing is, if someone is spamming, his email server is spitting out messages as fast as he can, but it is at a CONSTANT RATE. His computer will never try to overload itself.
But if he's spamming on this other system, his server has to conform to the habbits of the readers. There are peak times, and slow times. At peak times, his server will be DDOSed, killing the majority of his spam attempts. And you'll be able to tell spam when checking an email results in "error 573 : email sending server not available" or something of the sort.
You won't be able to truly fake an email address, because their very reading of it makes it obvious that the server is real. I have to contact YOU, so I know exactly where YOU are.
Unfortunately, now that I give it some thought, I realize that it won't work. One day someone will complain about a sender server being offline (ironic, no?), and email services will automatically download the senders' messages while the user is logged off. It'll be touted as a great feature, adopted by competitors, and then everything will go back to ground frickin' zero.
Man, I wish I could just go and make some Windows printer drivers, patent them, install them (if I was hardcore, sneak them onto the install CD of the next Windows release...), and then say I own Windows...
It'd be really nice. Get free share purchases, build up some cash for two years, run away with it all in a suitcase when I was done...
Only your locks were rusty, your bolt broken, and your security access panel had the numbers written in tick marks on the right side. Then again, that's just way too much analogy for me at that point...
Let's talk even deeper than that.
Oh, so you believe in the "sanctity of marriage?" Well that's nice. It's also f***ing horsesh**. If one believes in the sanctity of marriage, what have they been doing for the last THIRTY YEARS of LEGAL NO-FAULT DIVORCE?!
Yes, people who've wed and have their nice "Christian Values" have the ability to just F*** the entire institution of marriage and split up for the HELL OF IT. No adultery, no death, no abuse, they just FELT LIKE IT.
This is an objection to gay sex, not marriage. If it was about marriage, there's a WHOLE lot of things that need fixing before we even get to the homos.
I just wanna point out that the EXACT same thing happened to Tezuka's "Metropolis" (not to mention that the main robot character's gender was swapped); in fact, in an interview with the producer, it's very clear that he made it knowing full well that Tezuka would not have approved of the project, as he turned down all pervious requests while he was alive.
Most murderers don't get capital punishment ( Texas notwithstanding ) They usually get a parollable term,dependent on premeditiation and number of victims. ( ianafl, but that's pretty common sense-ish )
You know, given that the title ended with "released with SOURCE" I think it woulda been a DAMN interesting article if it'd been about the latest version of OSX.

What the heck are you all happy about, they basically just invented bukkake cooling!

I'd also like to note that a couple of DVD features, such as multiple angels, were pretty much implemented thanks to the porn industry.
Think that's BS?
How many movies have multiple angles that DON'T involve storyboards?
How many PORN movies have multiple angles? (not that I personally know or anything...)
Yeah, thought so.
There's always those nice, "insta-use, $50 limit, 24-hour-lasting" 'net cards that some CC companies offer.

Why would Microsoft use PHP?

About as long as it takes someone to imagine the prospect of a wireless-LAN based self-repairing node-oriented Beowulf Orgy(r).

But it was a nice idea.
Ummm, to be quite honest, I think both acronymns apply.
At which point Apple just frickin' snaps and puts Wintel's press release in an ad with the word "BULLSHIT" stamped across it in big grey letters.
And then some filler text about the G5 being out for xx months.
I'd come up with something funnier but I'm tiiiiired. ^__^

I grew up with only ONE mother. LOTS of children do. Or ONE father. They grow up just fine. Christianity only needs one teacher.

It's been happening since King of Fighters '99, to the best of my recollection.
On the NEO GEO.
In the SAME CARTRIDGE. (if you can mod your NG to go between US and JAP settings, you'll notice the change)
To be quite honest, I'm sure all they did was port the US version that has all the changes inherent.

Sort of a "James and the Giant Peach" situation.

I don't know about you, but the exact line of thinking is already embedded within our own government.
I mean, I even recall a well-known senator once saying, in stark contrast to your own post, "I am... A MACHINE."
Now, how creepy is that?
