I feel Slashdot is moving towards a full linux/bsd coverage, and farther away from News for Nerds. Nerds arent just sysadmins or computer jockeys, although a lot of us are. I think there should be more articles on a much broader range. Im thinking of examples, but not much is coming to mind;
Hardware: reviews possibly? The story can be "New GeForce card comes out, we think its hot like Nat Portman!" and people can give their opinions of it. I really hate reading regular reviews, because its one person speaking. In/. posts you see a lot more varied ideas and opinions, it'd be a great thing.
Geek stuff: space, x10, robots, etc
More personality: Im not sure what I mean.. heh, I dunno slashdot used to be a lot more fun to read, now its all drivel poured through the almighty PHB-boring-filter (pointy haired boss, dilbert, eg "equalize the subsequences of your performance review..")
Anyway I think slashdot is still great and stuff, but IPOs and copywright protection arent really a nerd thing, unless youre a stock broker. Im speaking for myself and my friends when I say *all* except maybe 3 of slashdot's readers are under 19, and frankly not giving a fsck about business is what we're good at.
the atm philosophy was half right, my atm card expires in "02/00" and the atm machine (on jan 1) said my card was expired, and two tries later it ate my card. same thing happened to my dad. check expiration dates on your cards..
My pops was out roaming the streets for an ATM this morning, and his card expiration date is "49" so the machine told him his card was expired, but it really expires in 2049, so he went to 2 other machines, both doing the same thing, the third machine swallowed his card:( check your atm/visa/mastercard cards for problems! This sucks. Anyway I had a great party, chilled out with friends, played dreamcast, and watched the various cities go haywire.
Gonna have a nerdbash at my friends house, we have pretty much every fun dreamcast game: NFL2k, Vigilante 8 (its good, like carmageddon), soul calibur, marvel vs capcom, and whatever the other people have. Were gonna have a q3a tourney, but only one thing. The electricity better stay on and the roving bands of looters better stay the hell away or we'll chuck ass pennies at you. My mom wents nuts in the kitchen, she made this giant 1.5 ft diameter cake, all chocolate, and we're ordering like 4 extra large lou malnati's deep dish pizzas. Wilmette parties kick arse more than you can believe. Drugs an Alki-hol are a plenty, everyones invited, but you have to bring a shotgun and a power generator, and an extra dreamcast controller.

How are you to learn without a damn manual. Nice otto. If you dl a redhat 6.1 iso and dont look at any documentation, and lets assume you are a decent windows user, how the hell are you supposed to know how to use linux? Redhat 6.1 has a decent setup program but people dont know what lilo is or what X is etc.
Well, when I first went to see Any Given Sunday, I thought it would be kind of stupid, Al in a football movie? I went in and it was kind of what Katz said, its mtv-ish. The more I saw the more I was amazed, first at the movie, but the the fact that Jamie Foxx can act! Its all pretty good until the part where certain un-showable things are shown in the locker room. Dont be eating popcorn in any locker room scenes, yer gonna throw it back up, "ah gah-ron-tee." The movie is cool, I actually liked it a lot. Theres even a scene with a prostitute fawking Al. Its cool. And you even get to see FEmale nudity! Woohoo! If only Natalie Portman was in this movie.
Ok I have bragging rights here and I intend to (ab)use them. I got a Palm V, a Got Root shirt, a Penguin polo shirt, 15 bucks for Borders (books n music, most likely oreilly), 5 for blockbuster (jackie chan flicks), and 145$ in cash, most likely going toward some dreamcast games and q3a linux, which I will install on freebsd 3.3-release http://www.freebsd.org/~3d/apps/games/ quake3 heres docs on it. I might be gettin a shweet GeForce card too to utterly kick MAJOR ARSE. JOO ALL FJEAR UNEEQ!
I trusteth in Carmack, for he ist my god. I bow to thee sir, prithy, somethingeth. Dont see the big deal if its for our own good, "ah gah-rone-tee" other software vendors are doing the same thing behind our backs. Theres gonna be a lot of this crap on/. and personally, theres not a damn thing you can do about it SUCKERS! er wait that means im a sucker... gonna have to figure this one out...
1) A couple Sun workstations, anything will do. For some reason sun is down today so I cant pick some cool ones. 2) Wearable computer(s) 3) Worlds smallest webserver, for fun. 4) A couple Ferrari's 5) A couple Beamer's 6) First post on Christmas on/.
I rarely read comp magazines because 3/4 of them are ads, literally. You can flip through four pages, and only one will be content. I sometimes read foreign mags "Computer Arts" but theyre getting too expensive (14$). If a magazine had minimal ads, good content about a broad range of subjects, but NO stupid "WOW WE FOUND THIS SECRET PROGRAM IN WINDOWS CALLED REGEDIT" issues, those are completely retarded. I think 2600 was a good start, until idiots started writing in to say how they can "h4x0r" netscape and icq. If there was a similar mag to 2600 like, say 8080 or some spinoff type deal, that had articles about configuring firewalls, mail servers, or anything else, on multiple platforms, I think it would kick ass.
I love JP for his hard work and dedication to suing everyone who mentions his lame websites, http://www.anti*.com. I have been active in the shun antionline project and an avid reader of attrition.org. I went so far as to post a contest on my website (which isnt always up) to see who can get the most docs on JP. I now have his phone number and various other fun information. Id just like to ask JP why he lies, cheats, writes malicious stories, and blames most of the "evil hacker attacks" on actually decent innocent people. As for his shit filled Granny Hacker from heck business, its a load too if you couldnt figure it out. Someone broke into her computer and got her bash log and amazingly enough, she used DOS commands, but instead of stopping to see why they didnt work, she kept on using them over and over. She couldnt hack her way out of a wet, soggy paper bag if she had a chainsaw. JP is just a fraud. When he would chill on IRC in the utterly "3l33t" #hackphreak channel everyone would love to kick him out and ban him. JP has committed fraud numerous times, and I am dead serious. He steals content for his website and his "hacked archive" mirrors etc. He lied about tons of things, from "evil hackers" to source code. I remember one incident from a site that like segfault.org, mocked everything that is life, although it seemed a little closer to reality. They posted a story about some made up hacking group cracking into 30 consecutive top secret military servers, but put a comment in the HTML file that said "This is all bogus! -the management" and when lo and behold antionline had a news article about that group, they actually had cut the complete article (in the source), from the timestamp at the top to the last sentence, including the comment. You can see pictures and copies of the file on various sites. I dont have any serious questions because there are none to be asked. All I want to know is why he says he runs unix... when I have seen pictures of his shitty apartment which is filled with iMacs. I love you JP... you goat-fiending fag.

yes! that would be great, instead of returning you can kind of share the gifts or something.. that way I can get accessories for my palm V >:)
