Funny how I see all the rage about Bank of America charging $5/month to use debit cards, but what about raging against banks such as SunTrust who wants to charge both $5/month for debit card usage and $7/month on banking accounts that have less than a required minimum that were forcefully converted from Free Checking to Standard Checking for a total of a $12/month fee charges and that would be $144 taken each year out of the poor's checking accounts. SunTrust also decided to cancel the monthly debit card usage fee for now, but they're still going to charge us poor folks who can't manage to keep at least $500 in the account a $7 fee each month.
Yeah, that seems so fair to charge the poor to have a checking account...
Python being the poorer choice because it is not designed to be an extension (scripting) language.
Well somebody needs to tell CCP of Eve-Online they're doing it wrong, same goes for Stackless Python project, and the authors who wrote the official Python documentation that they were wrong to document Embedding Python in Another Application. Because batrick on Slashdot said it wasn't designed for that...
Surely it will be a big hit like Minesweeper: The Movie! Hopefully the question of "Why are the mines even here!?" is answered in Minesweeper 2: Flag Down.
You're thinking of the Psychic Mode plugin that comes with Pidgin of which is also used by the Bot Sentry plugin to filter out spam messages. I remember the first time I got Bot Sentry working and noticed that it pretty much eliminated the spam problem coming from both ICQ and MSN networks, but the first time I saw "You feel a disturbance in the force" a week later kind of freaked me out as I didn't realize that was Psychic Mode's default behavior.
do you remember a company that ported some Windows games into Linux in late '90? Many nerds bought that games (I was one of them)...
Loki Games, indeed I do remember them, and they ported one of my favorite games of all time Tribes 2 to Linux. Back in 2003 when I was using Redhat 9 majority of the time instead of Windows 2000 I wanted to play that game natively in Linux (WINE wasn't that great back then for games) and couldn't find anybody who sold it, until Tux Games made an announcement they received a limited resupply from a warehouse that wanted to get rid of the existing stock of them.
I think I spent $74 USD total on the game and ~$16 of it was for shipping for a game that was going for just $20 at the local CompUSA (remember them?) that was only the Windows version in a jewel disc. Tribes 2 updater for Linux seemed to work much better than the Windows variant except for the very last update that was done by GarageGames, that required a reinstall and manually applying the final update directly for whatever reason. Ah, those were the good old days. Sadly the Linux port of Tribes 2 of course no longer works since the master servers were shutdown in Nov, 2008 and the game is hard coded to only work with the old WON master servers for authentication purposes, and TribesNext is currently Windows only.

Whatever happened to HTML degrading gracefully for older browsers?
Cause the new in town moron web designer of this new slashdot design gutted out all the nice XHTML slashdot transitioned to a few years ago and have gone with apparently the omg-its-new-therefore-good&cool versionless HTML tag:
<!DOCTYPE html>
So now older web browsers have no idea what version you're trying to work with. It also explains why some others are complaining that this new slashdot looks like crap due to lack of a valid DOC tag and browsers are going into quirks mode instead. Also, has anybody noticed that the italics <i> no longer works anymore?
I normally don't reply to trolls, but in case anybody takes your comment seriously, consider this.
How about this, I'm trying to have a skype video call with aunt Betty, but keep getting video and audio packet loss cause people like you keep hogging up all the neighborhood bandwidth by watching your netflix, youtube, and other media streaming services when you all could just go out and get DirecTV or something. And little Johnny down the street says you're killing him in online gaming cause his ping is so high he's unable to snipe the enemy sniper in the battles on 2fort in Team Fortress 2. That's not all. Dave next door says you're causing him to get up very early in the morning, say 3 AM-ish so he can get decent VPN connection speeds to the work VPN server in order to get work files uploaded and synced on time.
It's so easy to blame everybody else for your connection issues, when in fact what you and countless others have been doing is causing grief with everybody else. And who's at fault? Not you, Betty, me, Dave, or little Johnny. The people at fault are the ones managing our connections, the ISP. They're the ones that are suppose to be managing this shit correctly by keeping their networks maintained, upgraded when necessary, using something like a round-ribbon load balancer to keep neighborhood bandwidth usage per peer fair (basically evenly distributed), and not deliberately cripple services in order to justify their yearly price increases.
And look at it this way. The ISP sold me a up to 1.5mbps / 256kps DSL connection. So, who are you to say what I can and cannot use it for, and when and when not I can use it? I paid $53/month for this connection and I'm going to use it how I please. Just as you want to use it how you please. You want to watch your netflix and I want to watch a web cam of a christmas light setup from somebody in Boulder, Colorado.
Net Neutrality is an idea to prevent ISPs from deciding that netflix and youtube traffic to their customers isn't cost effective, so they either throttle it way down, basically giving them the lowest QoS priority, unless they get paid extra by charging you additional fees to be able to use said services, and also billing netflix and youtube for the traffic going to their customers. Doesn't make sense since we the ISP customers pay the ISP already for said internet service, and netflix and youtube, etc... pay their ISPs for internet service. So, everything is already paid for. But its the greed of the ISPs that want to change the rules.

I find it funny that it says the game is "Valve Anti-Cheat enabled" on the Steam product page. So, what exactly are people doing to cheat in this moon base simulator game?
Cause I just hate it when I'm bunny hopping along on the moon's surface and suddenly get head-shotted by some kid using an aimbot.;)
... Fourth, fuck you both Firefox and Opera. You both should do a better job of separating the CONTENT (read.. the fucking text) from the rest of the bullshit on the webpage. Let me, the viewer, decide what color I want for the background and text.. and figure out how to make it look halfway decent!
That's funny I can right now go to View -> Page Style -> No Style, and Firefox will display slashdot as linear context using my font and color settings in Tools -> Options -> Content tab. Of course this only works if the site only decorates the page using CSS. I think there's a Firefox add-on that allows you to override the site's CSS and replace it with your own in a user friendly manner.
Unreal tech has been running natively on Mac and Linux as this was done years ago. You don't remember or haven't played Unreal Tournament 2004? Although that was the last Epic games title to run on Linux. UT3 was promised and still hasn't been ported to Linux and released publicly.

Not to mention when the retail version of the game BFBC2 came out it felt like I paid for an alpha version since none of the issues brought up during the beta were fixed. It took DICE nearly an entire month later to get the game up to feeling beta quality. So, I pretty much feel like I paid $64 (PC, gamestop $50 + $14 shipping and 'handling') to beta test a game and eventually get a fully working copy of it after a month long of weekly patches to get it up to this point. The patch released last week finally fixed all my crash to desktop experiences. Such as for example, switching servers would usually get caught in a repeated loading... screen and then just crashed to desktop, or when trying to use their server browser with filter feature usually caused it after checking a few servers' information for game play setup.
My only real complaint about the game right now is the latency issues and the false ping listed in the server browser. Because they used ICMP to ping servers in the browser (hence why they require admin rights in order for ping to show up, they cheated. ICMP app usage requires Raw sockets, therefore admin rights) it would show anywhere from 40ms to 80ms (typical ping range I only join on) and then get ingame and everybody has a ping of 250ms to 500ms. But for example in games such as Call of Duty 4 or Team Fortress 2 I nearly always have a ping of 60ms to 110ms (worst case). So something fishy going on there.
Of particular note is the ASBOrometer which is a mobile application (iPhone and Android) that measures levels of anti-social behaviour at your current location (within England and Wales) and gives you access to key local ASB statistics. This app was number one in the top free UK iTunes app store last week.
So, this application keeps tracks of all nerds like me? Pretty harsh for not going outside...
I keep trying to fill in "Why should Google build a fiber to the home network where you live?" but I keep getting this bullshit response:

I originally started using DynDNS.org back over a decade ago when it started out as a service running off of a dedicated dial-up modem with a static IP address. Over the years I had just a few.dyndns.org addresses which were basically setup as static. About two years ago I decided to log in after ages of not touching it to change IPs on one of the addresses cause my ISP was making everybody on a specific subnet switch over to another. Well little did I know that free users must log in every three weeks or so, else the account will be dropped. By logging in I triggered their timeout service to begin.
I was checking my email one morning and found a notice that I should log into DynDNS else my account will be dropped within 4 hours. That email was sent three days ago by the time I read it. So, after having an account after so many years it just gets dropped like that without any warning what so ever except an email to alert me that I have a four hours notice. Since then I have avoided DynDNS and recommended others to go else where when asked about it since I thought that was just absolutely wrong.
Splash Damage was the company that did the port of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars to Linux. The port was good and I still play quite a bit.
Incorrect, Splash Damage was the one that created and developed the game. A Linux software programmer/specialist, of which is an id Software employee, is who did the actual Linux port known by the name of TTimo. Now from the discussion on the forums it seems Splash Damage might be doing their own Linux port this time around for BRINK.
I have enjoyed using Avidemux on both Windows and Linux, but the only drawback to it is still has, last time I tried it two months ago, audio desync issues with MPEG2-TS (Transport Streams, as in files generated by hdhomerun_config save) which comes to find out that the length of the video and audio are sometimes 5 minutes difference after recording a show for an hour. Yet VLC has no problems at all with such TS files, which got me thinking enough to dig through VLC's source code looking for a possible solution, but lost interest after a weekend of trying and didn't bother since.
Everything else seems to be working very well in Avidemux even though sometimes it'll crash after going back and forth messing around with filters and other codec settings, but still works much better than going through the VirtualDub route to me these days.
Simply enter the address 'about:config' and then do a search for blocklist.
There, you'll see a setting called 'extensions.blocklist.enabled'. Set it to False if you don't want Mozilla to decide what plugins/add-ons you shouldn't use. Restart Firefox after making changes to take effect.
Sure it isn't obvious for majority of users, but then again on Windows it isn't obvious what registry entries to hack in order resolve issues either. Firefox does have its own (evil?) registry too.
"Wow are you retarded. There was nothing wrong with what he said. You just clarified with more detail. I bet you're the life of the party and a killer with the ladies, right? Seriously, lighten up. You'll live longer.:)"
OK let me clarify, there is no such thing as a <domain> field in URL, it is called <host>. File and all other URL schemes specifically declare a <host> field. He incorrectly referred the <host> field as <domain> field and then effectively stated there is no <host> field for 'file://' which is wrong since the file scheme does in fact accept a host field. When dealing with clearly documented standards such as URL it really bothers me when there is so much disinformation going around due to ignorance by the party whom attempted to sound authoritative in the matter, but when in fact they're pretty much an idiot for making their comment sound like facts.
Apparently correcting somebody's disinformation with facts is considered retarded, but common sense tells us is that spreading bullshit is in fact retarded. By spreading basically lies and disinformation you're 'hindering' the learning process of those who wouldn't know any better that are reading such incorrect details which is pretty much the definition of 'retarded'.
