..that the add that came up (for me) on this article was an add for Google AdWords. After what happened to the fractal website recently, maybe this is the start of a war: Slashdot now knows that Google too has the power to slashdot. That would truly be the war of the Two (server) Towers: Google googling Slashdot; Slashdot slashdotting Google. Oh, the humanity!
Is anyone working on the WRT55AG, the dual-band (a/b/g) cousin of the 54G? I've got one of those and it actually has a lot of problems. (I haven't gotten the source code on Linksys's site to work properly yet.)
I guess it's important to ask the following question: was 2.4 ever designed to run on those kinds of processors? I mean, the O(1) scheduler is a pretty cool, processor independant change; but was 2.6 designed with specific optimizations for newer processors (and newer instructions) in mind? I'd be interested to see benchmarks from old hardware -- i.e., stuff like I've got sitting around. (If only I had a bit more time. Maybe I can borrow some cycles from 2.6 Linux boxen.)
Now even the nerds won't let me into their circle of friends.. although, I'm sure there is hope. Someone will start selling invitations on Amazon, and I'll just have to buy my friends again.
Well, maybe my boss will be intrigued to discover that I am sitting on a couch using my laptop instead of sitting at a desk using my desktop; but I can think of interesting games that one can play with this kind of technology. I mean, if you hook this thing up to a wearable computer, first person shooters could be a lot more first person. Will companies be tracking the movement of wardrivers that normally track companies' bad security policies?
Perhaps we should have a holiday. And I'm not just talking von Neumann -- Turing, Godel, Lovelave, Babbage, etc. Hell, we could even have Descartes in there and some Feynman for good measure. I'd be down for celebrating Universal Computing Day. Anyone else?
I'm pretty sure that the book has far fewer mistakes, as far as Tolkien could be concerned, so just go read that. I'm doing just fine with paper and ink.
Oh, I don't disagree. I just think it is funny -- as I recall them recently saying that all OSS could do was play catch-up with them, the Motherland of all Invention.
But you're absolutely correct. They do play a mean game. We can only hope they've learned from recent suits and lost customers, a'la governments all over the world. (Israel, China, Brazil)
It'll be interesting to see if they can break Apple in this regard, especailly because Apple was greatly helped by a Windows client for their system. This seems like a distributed attack.. we're not going to do it, but we'll get a lot of other people to eat your market.
Perhaps, like the dotcom boom, the Internet music "boom" will actually be a whimper. Apples seems to be the only group that has thus far broken the sound barrier. Microsoft is just playing the catch-up game that they accuse others of playing.
Hey, even though they get paid pretty well and don't pay taxes, those poor Navy guys might still want to make a little extra money on the side. This is just in time for the holidays!
Just add the military to your email blacklist. They've been asking for it, I'm sure. I already have to filter most of what they say, anyway. I don't see why email should be any different. (Maybe the next line of ships will come with an oil spill too.)
And don't accept credit card applications from strangers in malls. And if you do, for goodness sake, don't put down an email address that you use for personal mail.
Sue everyone that ever innovated anything and claim that their innovations are yours. Sounds like SCO is trying to take the ball from everyone and go home. And they said they wanted to play nice!
I wonder if anyone remembers that soap operas are called soap operas because back in the day, soap operas were paid for (at least in part) by advertising agencies. Perhaps the Little Orphan Annie / Olaltine gag in A Christmas Story now makes a lot more sense if you didn't already know that. Isn't advertising usually skewed by a favorable bias towards the product being sold, anyway? Everyone knows that. Just watch whatever show you're watching and get over it. (I can tell you that the documentaries I watch on Discovery don't suffer from this problem, so any concerned individuals might give them a try.)
Maybe we can unravel the mystery of the expansion of the early universe with a microwave and a set of unevenly expanding peeps. I envision a new era in science

If you use Linux, the terrorists have already won.

Glad to see that he still has his C64 alive and kicking as well..

No, really -- talk about the Pony Express.
..is better than Java not working in a multitude of different, interesting ways. I mean, do I really need ten implementations a foo that does bar?
Pay no attention to the programmer behind the Jerk. Though, I've heard that [My]Simon moonlights as a price-saving search engine on the weekends.
Volcaloid Idol! Maybe they can turn that Simon guy into a robot too.

And with rent at the University getting steeper, it's probably in better condition than where I live. Not to mention, cheaper. When can I move in?

..what I'm doing this holiday. I've got an itch and it's time to linux-from-scratch myself silly.
..true liberation.

This is why we have things like moderation on /.
