I just realized the moderation of your message changes the tone completely. When I was reading it, it was +2 Insightful, which made me want to reply and smack some sense into you. Then I hit the reply button and it shows as +3 Funny. Now I am laughing at the hilarious joke you posted.
Unfortunately once I hit reply I fear you will be at -1 Overrated, and therefore I just wasted my time.
Just like they used to give out phone numbers using words back in the day, you'd give out domains as your phone number. The important part is that there'd be enough IPs to cover all the VoIP phones. Not an issue now, but who knows...
Correct. And my point is you can repent for murder but not suicide. Thus this hypothetical person may repent and submit themselves to the death penalty with a saved soul, if you believe in that.
I'm not religious, but many religions consider this a sin. Considering they wouldn't be alive to repent afterwards, they may prefer to have this ultimate justice meted out by their peers.
I didn't say the invented the first optical mouse. Shit, I used to have an optical mouse for my IBM PCjr. It required a metal mouse pad with a grid of squares. It sucked.
Microsoft took the invention of fast digital camera technology, combined it with the mouse, and came up with something cool... a ball-less mouse that can work on a huge number of surfaces.
The wheel-mouse though was truly genious. I couldn't live without that concept, although I am ready to switch to something without moving parts. Maybe that means going to one of those kensington mice I've seen with the touchpad scroller instead of a wheel.
No, technically it's quoting without the quotation marks or attribution. Really, that's plagiarism.
The problem is on slashdot's summaries you can't tell when they are quoting the person that submitted the article, and when that person is quoting the article directly. This is ambiguous:
Grump sent in a story saying "Ask any iPod user what they like the most about their device, and most will probably mention the scrollwheel.
Is Grump saying what is in the quotes, or is the article "saying" what is in the quotes? Either way, the author was not attributed.
On a design perspective, nothing is original, it's design brilliance however to know when to use already created design elements in contrast to making a new one (MS can you hear me?)
Such as using the already created WHEEL on the already created MOUSE? Or the already created LED with the already created DIGITAL CAMERA with the already created MOUSE?
Microsoft has come up with some cool hardware products.
Actually we are seeing a interesting playout by the media. With the CBS "thing". They are definitely holding their ground like FoxNews, I mean come on, Fox has take a lot out of context (and made it entertaining though!) as well as printed questionable things. The funny thing is mainstream media is investigating CBS like having a prostate examine--where's the mainstream media investigating Fox? Others? Zero... Why? it's all about corporations, competition, and viewership.
First, please show me a Fox News story where they used faked documents from a biased, unreliable source after warnings from document specialists?
Second, the reason it's such a big deal that CBS has done this, even if Fox had done something remotely similar, is not due to the size of their audiences, but due to their broadcast license. Fox News is a cable channel. CBS is a BROADCAST (that's what the B stands for). In exchange for letting them use those radio waves to send out their advertisements, the government expects them to broadcast unbiased news.
Not a snob, just don't see how formulaic music of any genre can be so damn appealing.
First problem: You discount all modern music by pretending the artists you mentioned are all that is out there now.
Second problem: Crappy music has been around forever. The older generation always thinks their music is great and newer music sucks, by and large. I like to call this the "you-listen-to-that-music-and-you're-gonna-burn-in -hell" syndrome.
I'm glad you smell. Too bad you can't read or hear. The post was talking about how cables burn in and sound better over time. There was no mention of the cost.
Yes I know, audiophiles like to gloss over the insane costs of ignorance whenever possible.
And the good news is if you have the updated version of Windows (Windowws XP SP2) then you aren't affected by the similar critical flaw either
No. First of all, SP2 users can be affected if they have affected versions of Office,.NET,.NET visual studio, visio, and several other apps installed. Just having SP2 doesn't solve the problem.
And secondly, the poster was referring to the fact that these newer versions were released yesterday and announced on slashdot, so chances are a good number of people had already installed the new versions before these exploits were made public.

What's with the gigantic fischer-price GUIs? are enterprise people attracted to that sort of thing?
Try running these "gigantic fischer-price GUIs" on a large monitor at a high resolution, and you'll instantly know why they are appealing.
Ever heard of an envelope?
That can't be right ... I thought the government's sole purpose was to create jobs?
Just like they used to give out phone numbers using words back in the day, you'd give out domains as your phone number. The important part is that there'd be enough IPs to cover all the VoIP phones. Not an issue now, but who knows...
That killer app may be VoIP. If everyone wants their own IPv6 phone number.
Or that killer app may be someone coming up with an awesome spam/virus/security solution that requires features found in IPv6.
But just wanting people to switch for no good reason will never work. Market forces...

What if you murdered someone and believe you should face the ultimate penalty for it?
I stand corrected, thank you for the info. Did someone else invent the wheel mouse, or was that Microsoft's?

Don't worry... they only hired the four IE programmers that weren't evil.
Even better!

Will Steam support HL2 6-7 years from now? I doubt it.
Hopefully by then we'll have Combustion. Possibly even Nuclear?
I think it is interesting that in a discussion with a 3rd party candidate, you imply there are only two candidates for president. Sad.
If you're using GDI+ on a Windows machine... ... you're fucked!
(Well, unless you successfully patch all your affected apps.)

What's the point of preventing people from copying shitty music?
So that we can listen to snobs bitch on slashdot about how they hate modern music?

[Insert reference to the NX flag here.]
Yeah. I thought so too until I heard the difference -- in my own house with my stereo.
Yes. It is amazing how much better something sounds once you have already forked over the large amounts of money necessary to pay for it.
Just because it is an electric current does not mean that there are not physical and chemical changes taking place.
Physical and chemical changes taking place to the electricity passing through the cables?
Also not everyone is capable of hearing the difference. Can you hear falling snow when it lands on your shoulder?
No. But I can smell bullshit a mile away!
