Well, I don't really see where your aggressive-sounding post is coming from, since I don't personally run any websites, it was just a casual observation.
Just to point out though, you would post a website's content on another website's forum, a forum that would probably require registration anyway?
I agree with most of them, but #4 (requiring users to register) is pretty much absolutely essential for a web site to have "stickiness": keeping the user coming back for more. How is a website supposed to customize itself to a specific user's tastes without having users first register?
Slashdot runs on Slashcode (http://www.slashcode.com/). If you want to, you can change the appearance of it with skins and whatnot. I would also recommend Drupal (http://www.drupal.org/ and Zope (http://www.zope.org/). Hire somebody to create a nice skin for it, and any one of the above systems should be able to neatly handle the backend work.
I'm trying to purchase a domain from a domain squatter. He's just putting up a GoDaddy ForSale sign, but he doesn't know the first thing about selling a domain.
I've offered him $300, which I think is a fair price, but he's holding out for a multithousand dollar offer, which is extremely doubtful, considering the domain name.
(not posting the domain name so he isn't warned)
Anyway, to keep On Topic, try using Snapnames.com to retrieve the domain when it expires, or try suing them. There is a law (see below link) that bans cybersquatting:

Try BZFlag. It's incredibly addictive, even though gameplay is straightforward. They have versions for practically every OS on every arch, and the requirements are fairly low. If you can run Warcraft, you can run BZflag.
You can set up your own company server for bzflag (Toss a cheap/obsolete workstation in the corner, mark it as the BZFlag server), or you can connect to some Net servers for battle with other people.
And I am definitely going to enter, as soon as I have a suitable idea. To hell with the money (although it is nice, I'll probably buy a Xbox 360 + games with it), I'd do it just for the chance to have "Google Project Assistant/Implementor" on my resume.
Although, a bigger list of organizations would be nice. I hope more open source organizations jump in.
I watched the entire election from 6 PM to 2 AM (Central). Kerry was looking good when Pennsylvania got called for Bush, but really, Florida and Ohio started breaking towards Bush fairly early. Unless there's massive voter fraud in both states, Bush wins easily.
Obama (in the Illinois race) won easily; he was always going to win easily. I'm a Illinoisian Democrat (don't mod me down), born and bred, and even I thought the coverage of him was a bit too much. Obama was polling something like 70-30 against Keyes, he was enormously popular.
And what was up with CNN? They didn't call Washington and Oregon for Kerry for hours after all the other networks called it. Foxnews actually got a lot right.
And for future elections, here's a tip for everybody: throw a small party. Order pizza, hot wings, breadsticks, etc, and make sure to invite friends from both parties. The happiness level in the room will always stay constant. Here's my reasoning: In the beginning, both the Democratic and Republican supporters will be expectant, a little pessimistic, all sorts of emotions. That's the baseline. Then, as the night goes on and one candidate is pulling away from each other, the supporters of that candidate will be way more happier, and the supporters of the person losing will be (can anyone guess?) much less so. So they even each other out. And it really helps prevent the supporters of the losing dude from sulking too much.
Does anyone know where I can get the ISO of an Enemy Territory LiveCD? I know Gentoo Games released one, but their website has been down forever, and I can't find a torrent of any on Suprnova or any other torrent sites. Lots of googling isn't helping either? I know this is a bit offtopic, but any answers would be terrific. Thanks.
The parent is noting that if you plug in 5*(pi) into F, you get sin(5*(pi)/10), which equals sin((pi)/2), which equals 1. The problem occurs when you evaluate this part: 1/(1-sin(F/10)), because you get 1/(1-1), which is 1/0, and division by 0 is prohibited.
Oh well, just going to have to get the DS for Christmas. Although, it's going to have to have a really excellent killer app (like PictoChat) for me to grab one. Anyone have reviews on PictoChat?
This is bloody hilarious. Mods, whoever voted the parent Troll is frankly incompetent. For the non-programmers out there: PHP is a hypertext preprocessor. It's entirely focused on creating dynamic web pages. Perl, on the other hand, can do far more than just CGI scripts for web servers. It's a useful language for automating things in UNIX, among other things.
I just rated all 205 reviews. Negative if they supported the book, and positive if they didn't. There are a lot of/.'ers posting on amazon. A lot of the positive reviews of the book are getting ratings like "3 people out of 180 thought this review was good"
It's called the Unsolicited Commando. I was auditing the code a few months ago (around January 2004) and it looks good. So far, it looks like he has 28 people participating (the link provided says 28 IPs have taken part in attacks).
Code download is free, and you can just run it as a background process....
I believe the main problem with autotargeting domains that are advertised is what happens when the target server is being hijacked, or it's a server that someone wants offlined? So the guy that runs this site visits each domain advertised in spam, makes sure it's a legit spam site, and then lists the server on his Commando main server. Client programs grab the list, and hit the targeted domains repeatedly.
Fine then, can't Apple modify it's software to mess up Real's modifications?
That way, it'll just become a compatibility war, like when Microsoft, AOL, and Yahoo modify their IM software to prevent third parties from accessing their networks.
I'm sure Apple will find a way to block Real, by legal or technical means.
By the way, I have 4 mod points, I really wish I could use them on this topic, but as I'm posting... oh well.
I'll second SquirrelMail. It's fast, lean, and comes with plenty of options. SquirrelMail's interface is just like Google: spartan, intuitive, and pretty damn efficient.
There is something else hidden in it, or at least it sounds like it. There's some kind of "computer" type sound in the back, something along the lines of the sound computers made in the movies of the 70's and 80's....

How sensitive can that technology be when we're retiring the space shuttle soon and have no replacements past the drawing board stage?
Do you have a link with a quick overview of how this works? Recommendations for the router/dish you used? This sounds fascinating.
Assuming you also go to UW-Madison, you just got on my friends list ;-).
The University isn't running this, it's being run by a guy in our technology department.
He has a Slashdot ID here.
Hope he succeeds in proving that Mac OS is bulletproof.
You're only talking about the appearance.

I know I _always_ have bittorrent running constantly. Right now I'm torrenting a couple gigs of Love Hina songs and miscellaneous stuff.
Seriously, who here runs bittorrent 24/7/365? Every college guy (like myself) should be running bittorrent. If not, you're missing some good stuff.

((U+C+I) x (10-S))/20 x A x 1/(1-sin(F/10))

And I just bought a brand new Game Boy SP to complement the new Pokemon Leaf Green and Fire Red games.

Maybe it's just my net connection, but the first link isn't working for me, and the second one is slow as hell. Might be an interesting idea, especially to wire up to a webserver after a slashdotting.....

Hmm Sounds like they would like to go after the FOSS community if somoeone released an updated iPod OS.
Try iPodLinux, at http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipodlinux/

When I read that commentary, I thought of five words that I learned in a logic course in college, anyone care to guess what they are?
Correlation DOES NOT Equal Causation.
Or, if you need it expressed programmatically:
Correlation != Causation
(You also learn this in Statistics classes)

There's a black square overlaying the ilovebees main page, it says:

I'm using IE 6, I don't know if it'll show up on Firefox. Perhaps a preview of what we'll see in Halo 2? (Computer system on the fritz, etc?)
