Unfortunately to be able to buy HBO here you usually have to sign-up for one basic package and another standard package before you can choose a "premium" package like HBO. So HBO is only "$6-$7" dollars ON TOP of the previous charges. All in it works out to something like $80CDN/mo which would be much better invested in plain ole movie rentals (which are fairly cheap from the independent rental down the street and being a movie buff he has a better slection). Unfortunately I'm not the only one here so I can't do the common sense thing.
I do. It maybe annoying at first but after a week almost all of the sites you visit have been set to ignore or allow. It's not a tinfoil hat thing... I just don't want to help advertising companies. I just wish there was a quick way to change it from the main browser window if the page won't load w/o cookies. Ditto for AdBlock.
I use torrents instead of the TiVo I don't own. I've got fully legit paid for HBO but lately I've been too busy to watch Rome so I've just been d/l-ing them. I wonder how that falls under fair-use?
what are sixers and eighters? I've only been using the internet for a decade so i doubt I was around then and those terms look to general to do a wikipedia check on.
Frankly, I've disliked Linus(from what I know of him) for a while now. Sure I love Linux (running KDE on Gentoo) right now but I've considered him an idiot for a while now. There is this incident for example. Or his inability to understand the value of a stable API. Also I remember him dismissing switching over to C++ because they tried it once and found it too slow and hard to program in. Fine, don't use C++... but considering apparently this attempt predates the standardisation of C++ not to mention the advances of C++ I'm tempted to mark that comment as a troll. Not making the files drivers need to hook into LGPL and making binary drivers realistic is a toss-up but I think it's unreasonable. When he decided that stabilising the kernel was for distros to do... well to me it sounded like "I just wanna do the fun parts... let someone else handle that." There have been other complaints that the kernel was marked stable before it truly was and that he is unwilling to let a 'stable' kernel bew stable. Really, I wish ppl would just start using one of the *BSD kernels. I wonder how long it take for RedHat to start using the FreeBSD kernels. Considering how many kernel hackers they employ it seems like they could smoothe out the wrinkles in FreeBSD.
Since I couldn't find any information on X2 website I looked on GameSpot and found these requirements. I'm assuming the Linux verison will be comparable.
where did you work in europe? I was thinking of moving out there. I'm already a EU citizen by birth (Polish) but I'm willing to relocate anywhere within the union (except greece, italy, and spain... too hot for this h4Xor).
I don't have nearly enough millions to get anything like this done. Actually, even if I did have those millions U.S. big bully tactics would still mean that media corporations get their way in other countries. If you want to change keep doing it until it becomes absorbed into the culture and de feacto legal. It seems to have worked for marajuana in Canada.
Oh, and as for illegal I don't own a TiVo but I am d/l-ing an episode of Rome I missed last night on the HBO channel I pay for. Hows that for illegal for ya?
Can someone check if this is a trool? I believe I have read this post before and the line Does he want Perl 6 to be flex or something? is making me deja vu again. I'm not saying this is a troll... just that it sure seems like it could be a copy-n-paste.
Just use the Firefox HTMLTidy Extension; it's just as good... just glance at the bottom of your screen and you know the status. I'd say after the web developer bar its the most useful.

I was trying ti up date a page I had done a while ago (2001?) that relied _entirely_ on document.write(). I had to abandon the project. Could you please point me in the direction of the appropriate substitute?
If there is no clipping or managling or placement issues thats good enoguh for me. if its readable thats all you really need. Gracefully means usably not beautifully.
Slashdot's original motto was --and is secretly-- "better late than never". How popular this motto remais with the people at 3D Realms is another issue altogether.
Definitely a fan of the new site. Frankly all I think it needs is the/. logo replaced with SVG and then you'd have a really fancy all XML site.
What if when the search bar appeared the page would automatically be scrolled down so that the on screen position of most of the text would not move and instead it'd would be like the search is just covering the top two lines?
I know it's late but if it's any consolation I agree with the sibling poster that you found the perfect match. I don't work for SuperMicro (or anyone for that matter... still a student). It's nicer and according to Froogle significantly cheaper than the SATAStor I found earlier. I think I'm definitely going to buy one of these when I build my next computer (going onto an internsip soon --hopefully-- so I'll have some spare change to play with).
Or why don't americans repay damages they caused by selling weapons to the enemy... oh wait, but ya didn't think about that one did you? It always cuts both ways.

if oly they'd donate 1% of the savings back to the projects they'd be doing themselves a majour favour and eveyone else too.

If you don't like it, change the laws.

No body.
Is this an all-time low for a slashdot article? I can't imagine how it can be beaten.
Simple, it'll be duped shortly.

Maybe they'll release a KDE 3.6 that is just a port to Qt 3.3.5 ?

Some of these have obviously been done before to varying degrees (but I've not heard of rotating register files in a general purpose chip).
Isn't that way a Sparc does when the input registrars become output registrars during a function call?

Anyone else find that Google's Googlebar is not nearly as good as the mozdev one? Every time I change the otions it keeps forgetting them,
If this isn't the grossest mismanagement of government funds this side of the Atlantic I don't know what is.

It was a joke... I meant you could install a mac mini in an empty drive bay.
