In the end this is something that will hurt many businesses and destroy our fragile industry. In the end the industry have to reloacte to some third world country and pollute more there instead. So before you devot your computer to this project, please think about the through the consequences and someone please think about the children and the world we want them to live in.
UNDERSTANDING climate change will hurt our industry? So you're against knowledge? This explains so much about republicans.
There is climate change. It happens from year to year, decade to decade, and so on. The ice age ended, didn't it?
Understanding it includes finding out if industry is causing it or if it's occuring naturally.
And the computers produce that heat if they're on, period.
And you end it all off with 'somebody please think of the children'. Priceless troll.
From the article:Besides, Woz continued, he freely distributed the Apple I's schematics and ROM code at the Homebrew Computer Club in 1975, long before he and Steve Jobs went into partnership and began selling the machines from Jobs' parents' garage.
"The best anyone could say was that it was mine and that I made it public," Woz said to Briel.
Could this be the first implementation of open source? Or at least open design? There wasn't a GPL at the time, but it was open.
So linux geeks can love him too, just like astronomers love Gallileo!
Ah, a question from the ignorant, answered by the ignorant.
Not ignorant about magnetic fields, mind you, in that respect your answere was quite correct, although it would have benefited from the use of the term 'Inverse square law'.
Ignorant, only because there aren't any wolves at the poles. You would just freeze to death, and probably go a few thousand years frozen on the ground without getting eaten:)
Hey RIAA, how about I just stop sharing files, and we call it even? I know I own most of the CDs for the files I listen to, but I stopped buying those too so you'll know where I stand.
Ha. I'm not. Not because I think it isn't copyright infringement, or because I think its not stealing but copyright infringement, or even because I think stealing from a major corperation somehow doesn't violate any principles I should have, or because music is bad, or because record companies abusing musicians, or anything else:
I just don't feel like actually buying the stuff.
Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.
Why do I share music? Because I want these networks to stay useful for other people, like myselves, who don't give a shit.
I don't think it's right. It isn't right. Any of the more reasonable above reasons are only be reasons why I don't care.
Except these guys are actually dangerous. Can we stop feeding the SCO trolls, and have more articles about this? Maybe some ask slashdots with actual lawyers about what to do if they sue you, what they can actually legally do, etc.?
Someone's really gotta put a stop to this. Where are they getting this $150,000 number from? If you go into a record store, steal the CD, go outside the store with your laptop, and start burning free copies for people walking in, would you fine be nearly as high?
Why the bias against people who "steal" (or infringe copywrites) with computers?
Bingo!
Although I'm not sure it's better than office. Better value, (who needs a $500 word processor), but not better. Office does have some pretty cool things.
Still no 'Make this letter not be drivel' button though.
If you don't need features, why use word at all? Why not use something compatible with other things?
I've never used word for anything. Not that I really care about my word processor, I just use whatever's lying around, which is never word because I'm on a mac.
It is not known whether this event was caused by a collision with an unknown piece of rock or by internal processes (a last 'sigh' on the way out).
If they were able to image it, it seems they knew where it was, by mapping where it was going. If it had collided with something, it's trajectory would have changed.
So does this give us new insight as to how comets die? And if they die, how are they still comets? How does the solar system replenish its comet supply?
Most poor people don't make anything: Truckers, people who work in stores really just help move goods around. Same for people who work in restaurants.
The middle class people all sit in cubicles. God knows what they do, but they sure as hell aren't making anything.
The upper class are businessmen, lawyers and doctors. Doctors keep people alive longer, businessmen move money around, and lawyers, as far as I can tell, have no function at all.
Nobody really needs to do the vast majority of today's jobs.

err, supposed to be 13<3. Damn HTML.
133?
First off, yeah, it was a joke.
Second, if there was any truth to it, it was making fun of us geeks, not saying you can't like sports and still be a geek.
Third, it's football. Football! I thought geeks were supposed to be smart. I can't imagine any sport that (should) appeal to geeks less.
Note to self: Fact check when being pedantic.

Now if only our football team was that cool Are you sure you're a geek?
I suppose you wouldn't believe me if I told you that wasn't intentional.
What a weird type-o.
Just RTFAs! Yes! It is THAT easy! WOW!
I'm gonna take a minute to tell everyone to RTFA's. It's pretty obvious what they're talking about from there.
Stock photography.
other people, like myselves, who don't
above reasons are only be reasons why And so on.

Wasn't the original quote 'Western Civilization'?
I know, but that doesn't make a very good subject line.
Nobody likes a pedant.
How about some protections for democracy back home first? This is utterly unacceptable.
Disecting a joke is like disecting a frog. Nobody really likes it, and in the end all you have is a dead frog. :)
Or hire the Slashdot Crack legal team.
I wonder if "IANAL, but.." arguments stands up in court..
Think about it! You could post the 'ask slashdot' on your court date, and read off the comments as they come in!

Well said. Makes perfect sense, and I agree.
Very few people actually make anything anymore.
Most poor people don't make anything: Truckers, people who work in stores really just help move goods around. Same for people who work in restaurants.
The middle class people all sit in cubicles. God knows what they do, but they sure as hell aren't making anything.
The upper class are businessmen, lawyers and doctors. Doctors keep people alive longer, businessmen move money around, and lawyers, as far as I can tell, have no function at all.
