I wish they would get to 1.0 and unite all the client release numbers. Having Mozilla A at 0.7 and B at 0.9 then C at 2.500000 is just annoyed, would it be so difficult to make the next releases all the same? At least you would know when something needed updating (something else would be a higher number)
I'll admit I'm a mecha fanboy when it comes to anime but I don't think slashdot is the place for it. No offence to the guys but you have a link to Anime FU or whatever right on the frontpage, why not post it there? I don't mean to troll or nothing but we're here for geek news, theres enough anime news sites out there for us to goto if we wish. We come here for technology, space and general geek news.
I just don't see slashdot as the right place for this and comparing whatever to open source is really just a check way to plug something through something else. (Notice how slashdot is quite like that geocities site because they both use the internet?).
Sorry but I for one would rather keep slashdot and anime apart
yep, heard it all before. The next "free" fad will come along involving the internet like spam is now and he'll jump on it like everyone else.
Everyone wants something for free, he just happened to get lucky and ahead of it all. For all we know his next annoyance money making scheme is already underway.
I was under the impression that Linux was free, you just had to publicly release anything you made in a "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" sorta way...
It's all lies! That house was area 51! Get your tin foil hats and ten foot thick steel bunkers because aliens have fired the first shot in the intergalatic war of 2004!
The way I find it easiest to learn is to STFU and do it (no offence but it's how I work best). It's all fine and dandy saying "Microsoft says I can do it and gives me paper", but look at alot of tech support, half of them are useless and the other half spend all their time trying to help the useless staff members.
Get your hands on and use a PC/Mac/whatever it is you want to do as much as you can. It's by far the best way to learn.
how does this sound. We leave all the holes and every PC gets turned into a zombie spammer and the internet gets slashdotted by the spam.
If you ignorethe problem it gets worse untill no one can deal with it. If you dig at it little by little you may notkill it but you restrict it's growth and make it manageable.
Just keep Nano technology away from giant red mining ships and we won't have any problems, but if we can't even do that small task it's time to raid everyones sock draws
Hey, lets say everyone who releases software here must be fully trained with MS degrees and crap just so we can kill Open source and give Microsoft all the money we fined them back through customers.
When I buy a PC I like to base it on figures and what it can do (AKA can it run UK 2k4, will it run HL2 for example). Rather then going "ooohhh pretty case!"
Wasn't the guys who did the CG for lord of the rings selling off their machines or something? I think I read something like that on Slashdot. Would be extremely intresting if true. You could in theory (and some luck) view things which they left out the film (who knows what animations they made but never used for people. I can't think of many places which don't have inside jokes and make easteggs based on them. There could be anything from Gollum dancing to hot Legolas sex).
I might be wrong but if I'm not would be worth trying to get hold of one of said machines and have a little play with the old memory box.
That is my exact opinion on church people. but I wasn't trying to flame, I was pointing out that the average teenager wants porn, sex and coffee. They want to click on IE type in URL and look at whatever it is they wish to look at. Not have to learn 2-3 different OS set ups and how each operates and runs.
Remember the average user will type with 1 finger and suck at using mice. The "average teenager" can adapt, but the average teenager doesn't want to spend time doing such things.
I have a blunt spoon I could donate to a murderer, doesn't make it a great idea though does it? Everything has a good and a bad side, the good side is he's helping these people, the bad side is most people go "oohh pretty.. but I don't know where internet explorer is!".
This may sound bad but... a cheap windows box maybe better then a mac. Macs are great for people who can use them but when you take the general public (idiots in general hence why we have so many virus problems) and start to mix MS things become messy. Where as Windows is simple for them. Check for new updates once a week, update zone alarm and anti vir. Ta dar you just serviced your network and only needed to download it once.
Also the average church do gooder will have trouble with anything but Windows and I don't see many of us techie types having enough time to dedicate to a full network of PCs for the unexprienced.
Finally an ask slashdot which didn't involve

Old Toy Modding?

some guy moaning he messed up his life:)
Any way. I'm thinking of trying to mod my old Gameboys to use as mini monitors so I can play GB roms on a real GB:D
Oh how fun it'd be if he worked for google. Type in "Recipe for pasta salad" and you'd get 5 thousand pop ups going "THE WORLD IS GOING TO END! WE'RE ALL DOOMED!"
Makes me wonder why us geeks try over here. Every time something comes along we wish to support the bastards in Brussels decide that screwing it up with more totally useless laws is a great idea.
Makes me wonder if Microsoft is slipping money into pockets over here to try and kill open source.
This may just be me here. But if I wanted to look at anything illegal (I'm not saying I do, I'm against child abuse but still). I wouldn't be going to a site. I'd use IRC, Kazaa, WinMX, Bit torrent and Winny.
You name is you can find it with that little collection of proggies does blocking 1-2 sites really do anything but make us all bitch about freedom of speech?
I WANT TO POINT OUT I DO NOT SUPPORT ABUSE OF CHILDREN IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM AND HAVE NEVER ATTEMPTED TO FIND ANY IMAGES OF THAT SORT USING THE ABOVE PROGRAMS OR IMPLYING THEM CONTAIN THEM.
Slashdot Mirror
Alright I want to write a guide on how to abuse little girls and boys, my freedom of speech allows me to do so. Do you still agree with this?
:)
Universally we hate child abusers, do they really deserve these freedoms?
Remember every coin has 3 sides but we only show two of them
Keanu should of stopped at Bill and Ted. Anything beyond that just shows how little brain cells he has spare.

faceless people on the internet, best people to use for a witness, safe sex or over turning unjust laws. :)

And now he'll have every troll and curious person here sending him spam to.

If we can make it worse with out sourcing it's already in India.

Now if only you can make a program to put out the flaming box that was the server :)

I'm funny like that, wonder why..

Nice one old slashdot, you just revealed it to all us geeks :)
Remind me to blame if you I ever get caught using it for less then legal means.
