You worked eight hours a day before the net came along, so what is the problem. Your company is paying you to work. Those eight hours are theirs. The look at hotmail and espn is their bandwidth that they are paying for. Get a faster connections at home. God, the morals here are terrible. "Who cares if I steal from my company?" Six years ago we used calculators and a pad of paper and pencil to do our jobs. We moved to computers. All that information didn't neccesarily make us more productive. You still have to have face time with customers and deal with them. Computers are a conveinence not the do all answer to everything.
I'm going to rant because it bugs the crap out of me. I know companies save money and the environmentalists are happy because not so many tree get get killed, but give me a damn book. I don't want a pdf file that I can barely read. I don't want to print out 300 pages on my printer. At least make the documentation available in printed form if a person asks for it. We just purchased a new server and there is an option for printed docs. It was an extra $59 dollars but hell, I'll pay it. Just so I can have a book in front of me when I'm working on the server. HP used to be great about their docs, now it is basically the huge fold-out "How to connect your printer guide" poster. Sorry about the rant, but like I said this bugs the hell out of me.
The majority of his reviews are almost exact copies of what Ebert writes. Like I've said before...either Jon has no pull and can't get advanced screening passes or isn't it odd that his reviews always come out days after everybody else writes their's. Check his language against other reviewers and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Nostalgia my friend, nostalgia. Seriously though. I'm busting out my old 486 installing this and firing up some Wing Commander, Doom (who is the world can't bust through the original doom in under 5 minutes), and whatever else I have in that giant box of old DOS games. My weekend is shot now.
I an a war, a tank is very effective in house to house combat. In World War II the GI's used them to shoot holes in the walls of houses as they moved forward so the GI's could:
Take cover there
Used them as jumping points to advance
Clear out the enemy in the house/cellar
The German's even used them against Allied ships as they neared the beaches. The tank, next to the helicopter, is one of the most revolutionary inventions in warfare's history.
I'm in Missouri. When we moved our office and our T1 and ordered some new ones we had to put the order in 10 months in advance. For some reason though ISDN up here is done within one-two weeks.
I've got to admit. I love my digital cable/modem. And I have seen no indication of a price increase. I pay $24.95 a month for 512k. I have had no service outages in the eight months that I've had it. I also love the Video-On-Demand service. It is so sweet that when I want to watch a movie there is a pretty good chance its on either pay-per-view or video on demand. And it costs less than driving to blockbuster to rent a most likely Blockbuster edited version of a movie. I ordered the service on tuesday and it was installed thursday afternoon. If you can get the digital cable/internet service in your area, I recommend doing it.

By the way, Southwestern Bell said it would be eight months before DSL could be installed. I have a friend who has been waiting for a year and half for his installation.
Ebert doesn't do technology stories, so why does Katz continue to write crappy movie reviews. Stick to your crappy technology stories instead. By the way, good job ripping off Ebert's review. Anybody notice that Jon's reviews always come out a day or two after Ebert's.
Could someone please tell me how to access the commentary on my Simpson's dvd. They only one I can find is under special features on the last disc. The packaging says all the episodes have it, but I'm an idiot and can't figure it out.
What a fucking retarded thing to say. I don't care if I get modded down but you're a fucking dumbass for posting something like this. Fuck off jackass.
Did you even watch the show? They didn't show the plane blow up. Just her parachuting down. Stupid "Oh no, there's been a terrorist attack. We have to censor our shows." If you're offended by it, don't freaking watch it.
Tymenet rocked. One of the easiest providers to hack at the time. Once you were in you could pretty much explore any companies network that connected to them. Either the AP or Reuters were using them at the time and you could view wire stories (and edit them if that was your thing) before they were actually edited and put out on the wire. I belive Byte and Compuserve portaled off there too. There were a ton of systems on there. That was back when Bill Landreth(sp) had just gotten busted for the Inner Circle and wrote that great book about it. Some of his methods still worked up to a few years. God, I miss the 80's for computers.
Could Slashdot please quit doing this. Those of that read this site generally know where to go to get downloads of linux distros. All you are doing is killing the site.
Are you a moron? That's just what we need, thousands of teenagers/script kiddies in charge of the interet. Did you pay for the Internet. Did you pay to run the millions of miles of fiber that make up the Internet. Oh, you must have been the person that came up with the idea of the router and ethernet. The Internet is not "ours". And henceforth does not need to be governed. And I think the last thing anybody wants is script kiddies helping us fight a war. International incidents start over things like what you are talking about.
I can't believe you got that they modded you down for this. I totally agree with you but obviously (sp?) if you post something pro microsoft here you are Joan of Arc.

I still love:
Please sit back and relax while Microsoft Windows 98 installs on your computer.
I still think the programmers should have had a "Start Panicing" message popup at about 96% installed.

The X-Files need some hot lesbian action between Scully and Xena when she guest starred.
I'm in the Midwest. Everything is cheaper here. I can get digital cable with HBO/Skinamax with the music channels and the internet access for $60.

I wasn't making fun of you. It was more the line that you mispelled. You've got to admit that it is kind of funny.

Why don't you show some respect Jon and call them police officers, not "cops".
He was actually instrumental in expelling the Soviets from Afghanistan.
Pay attention. Windows already supports it.
