Sigh...maybe we could use these to stop the uncontrolable urge of some to "first post"...
...who found the trivalization of rape in the video game post disgusting? Rob, someone posted a link to some sort of Laura Croft rape scene earlier and you censored it, but you let this story have a place on Slashdot? I don't care if its just game consoles, the depiction of gang rape doesn't belong here, or anywhere. The brutalization and abuse of someone by no means an amusing comedic device.
Dude, technically the 1977 one is IV...says so in the scrolling beginning, even though most consider it to be the true "Episode I"...and yes, I was refering the Phantom Menace.
No, his comment was an observation. If he went on to say "End all organized religions", that would be hypocrisy. Its his right not to like it, but not his right to end it...which is the point he made in the first place. Calm down, AC...
Okay, this will probably be marked as flamebait and moderated out of existance, but I this made me laugh out loud in the labs. I don't care if it is the God OS he's talking about, that was amusing...
Dude, I stumbled over Napster months ago...I wasn't even looking for it. Meanwhile, RIAA has people _paid_ to find this shit. They probably knew about it before you did.
Sooner or later, they were going to find out...did you you think Napster was going to be underground forever? Sooner or later, everyone and everything goes mainstream...its been happening before/. and it'll still be happening long after its gone, so don't be such a crybaby. If napster gets taken out, someone will pick up the torch, learn from their mistakes and move on.
If you're so concerned about protecting napster and mp3s in general, start talking about it. That's the only way the RIAA is going to be stopped, is by countering their FUD...
...do big companies like Intel feel they have something to offer in neighboring markerts? Isn't there such a thing as effeciency due to being small and fast? Big companies that do this don't necessarily make a better product, they merely weed out competitors more easily. Microsoft, Worldcom, IBM, Sun...it seems like when they buy shit, they either kill in that markert by their sheer size, or the product flops because they can't keep up with smaller, specialized shops.
Argh, enough with the mergers already...one-stop shopping is cool for supermarkert, but that's about it...

I used to live in Maine...do you know how many choices geeks in Maine have for parts stores? Hint: >2. Seriously, probably the only good thing about Radio Whore is they're everywhere...malls, plazas, big cities, little towns. Where ever I go, I can at least rely on having the Whore within a 1/2 hour. Maybe if they were bought out by Frys (which I have never seen) or become the physical frontend to digikey (which I have never visited), they'd be more reasonable. I mean, really, these other stores maybe great, but if they're not in my area (and I can't wait for mail order), RS is, by far, the most convenient solution.
No, first posts were the worst thing ever to happen to slashdot...coupled with "naked and pertrified" and "Blow it out yer ass"...none of this shit is amusing after the 50,000th time...
I don't know...they're a different (and more powerful) beast...even though they botched the Digital merger, they're still doing fine in their portable, desktop, and server markets...
Wow...servers with OS/2 preinstalled..for what enviroment and why? Why OS/2 and not *nix or *BSD or even NT? I've never heard of anyone buying OS/2 for serving, or at least surviving it.
If this appeals to you, come join my crusade against magazine articles. After all, all these people are getting sucked into looking at naked women after being lured to Playboy for the articles! Damn that sly Hue Heffner!
"What would it be like if a band only allowed a bad quality version of their song played on the radio so people would be less temped to record it, and forced to go buy a CD if they want high quality..."
Yeah, boy, Phish hates it when you record their shit, right? I mean, even though they've been allowing it since 1983, that must be their motive.
Christ, by reading everyone's comments, I'm digusting. I basically seeing a lot of people who seem to know little about what they are talking about, yet seem qualified to make sweeping accusations about it.
Of course, this is Slashdot, so I guess pompousness shouldn't surprise me anymore.
Christ, get off your high horses, people. This "dirty hippie" band your dismissing is something to behold live (I used to follow them back in 1995, and without the aid of mommie and daddie's credit cards). Even though that time is over and my musical interests have expanded, I still hold a warm place in my heart for them. Why? Because, among many other things, they take things at face value. They don't say "this music genre sucks" or "that music genre sucks, they listen to them, often incoperating it (very well) into their music it. It makes for some incredibly interesting music. And those "dirty hippie" types are (in my experience, and the experience of many I know) a family who would easily lend you a hand, dollar or two, or whatever you needed if you only asked. It's a beautiful scene, one most of you seem to know nothing about. Please don't piss on it if you know nothing about it.
Unless I'm mistaken, I believe he's talking about the tablets used in high-end graphics, something the size of a mouse pad that responds to the pressure of a wand or pen, used for data input (re: drawing). But I could be wrong...

MTV Article - 11.16.99 14:30 EST
Yahoo Article - November 17 09:50 PM EST
Even though the Yahoo article is supposedly newer, I'd go with (ugh) MTV. Why would they make up a statement?
On a side note, according to IMDB she played the following characters in SWI:TPM :
Old naboo Woman/Torno the Hammerhead Boy/Torno's Mother/Lost Human Boy/Female Human Merchant
No Jar-Jar...besides, like South Park, George Lucas would manage to find a substitute.
Forget Catbert...he was Duckman! That show rocked!
No, his comment was an observation. If he went on to say "End all organized religions", that would be hypocrisy. Its his right not to like it, but not his right to end it...which is the point he made in the first place. Calm down, AC...
I second that! Moderators, please return the first post to its orginal score.

How's about neverminding about first posts, period.

Ahh, but is it not also possible to run Netscape's server on NT? Why should/could this be construed as a possible NT move?
No, first posts were the worst thing ever to happen to slashdot...coupled with "naked and pertrified" and "Blow it out yer ass"...none of this shit is amusing after the 50,000th time...

No no no...Windows is enough to drive a man to linux...windows on a PB is enough to drive a man to drink...heavily...
On a serious note, 2800 people is a good-sized workforce...good luck to them on finding jobs...
