The last non tech job I had was working in a warehouse for a retailer. We got orders popping out from time to time that instructed us to destroy items. Probably not an uncommon thing.
Maybe it's for some kind of wacky accounting purposes??? I don't know.
Anyone remember Borland's old licenses? I believe they were based on a "use this software like a book" model, which was probably one of the fairest commercial licenses I've ever seen.
Last time I remember seeing that was on the copy of Turbo Pascal 7 I had in high school though.
Our company tried to buy 200 Athlon based systems from Gateway to replace our four year old Pentium Pro machines. They refused to deal at all with us. We couldn't get a configuration we wanted, even though it was clearly possible. They wouldn't give us an extended warranty or upgrade coupons.
Basically, they told us that "businesses don't want AMD, so we won't sell them to you."
I don't think it matters. I was talking to one of my coworkers, whose sister had just filed for bankruptcy. Apparently, she had never seen more credit card offers in her life. They don't care about your credit.
Ack. I've seen some of my professors make shitty web pages before. They usually don't have the time to make a good one. This man must have tried quite a long time to make that monstrosity.
Hey, did anyone else see the idea at www.somethingawful.com for a really rich guy to play Irridium Command? That's probably the best idea I've heard yet.
It's the first article right now, and it's pretty damn amusing.
I know exactly what you're saying. At the university I attend, we pay a technology fee, which is supposed to facilitate the purchase of interesting new technology. Someone decided that it would be a really neat idea to try and enter into a site license with Microsoft that covered the staff, faculty and students.
Where was the money going to come from? The technology fee. Half of my technology fee would've gone to Microsoft. Worse yet, this was a year to year contract that had to be renewed. Luckily, enough people voted against it, and hopefully the administration got the message.
Here at work, we support a couple hundred machines, and the first thing we do when they come from the factory is to wipe them and rebuild them. If you read this article, it states that doing this will prevent you from getting tech support.
What are these people smoking?
We have never had any problems getting tech support on any of our systems. If a big pc company tried to do something that stupid, they'd lose a tremendous volume of corporate business.
I actually really like Google's caching features. Quite a few times, I've found a page that will tell me exactly what I want, only to find that it no longer exists, access denied, etc. If google has it cached, then no problems for me. I can't really see people using the caching feature at any other time.

Nevada my friend.

One large sandy brothel.
Where the fuck is your "Type R" sticker?

Overall, this is all conjecture unless this guy gets more info from customs.
This company could've been just as easily reported to customs by Sony, Nintendo, or even Microsoft.
Who can say if customs even opened the box? Who can say that if they had, they would've known this particular cable was for a Dreamcast?
Why the fuck would you sue Sega????????
They aren't involved in anyway, other than producing the Dreamcast hardware. Sue the US Government, sue UPS, sue ANYONE BUT SEGA.
This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. The fact that it got 4 points makes it more so.

Buy a better motherboard.
As other people have mentioned, this won't work for gig e, so if you ever want to upgrade in the future, you get to rewire.
This bug only happened if you had multiple partitions.

Consult the forums, and you could start enough internet trends to last a lifetime.
No, the iPod has a 5 GB hard drive. Whoever sent in that correction is just plain wrong.
The other iPod comment is also wrong. You can copy files to and from the iPod from any machine, just not via the iTunes interface.

I would have to say that Suncoast just probably wants to spank you for all you've got. Buy off the web.
My god, other slashdotters in Fairbanks? I'm shocked!
Hey, here's a link to the software they used:

I'm at work, trying it with IE 5.0, on NT 4, and it wouldn't display any info for cookies that I have. Anyone else run into this?
Actually, all mentioned that very thing in the same "Ask Al" column that the parent quote was taken from.
