surprisingly enough users doesn't demand much from the manufacturers. Thus far, companies have delivered what the masses had requested, but much halt is due to customer dependency.
I want to know who on gods green earth OBSERVED monkeys turning into humans.
I have. When on 'shrooms. An eye-opening experience if there ever was one. Wouldn't want to try it again though. Which is what I bet God is thinking too.
oh, I see. I wasn't being sarcastic, by the way. haven't tried YDS yet - Copernic works fine for me. you really should check it out, much better than google's desktop search thinggy.
not only that, but Firefox would lose one of its most useful features. when I type a single keyword into the location bar, and it takes me where I want to go (in 99% of cases) it feels GOOD. so the feeling lucky button stays then.
hey, I got that message too. forwarded through about five different people, and with a gazillion Cc-ed innocents. it did not, however, contain anything but the text and the two pictures...or so I think. are you sure it had nastiness in it? not that I circulated it, and besides I use Thunderbird so it shouldn't have done any damage, but still - are you sure? what kind of zombie was it?
Well, I think god would be most pleased if people learnt how to spell altar in the first place. Only then would he demand one made from expensive materials. Or a shrubbery.
er...no it hasn't. I can see it just fine. seriously.
Let's get these out of the way then:

The funniest thing happened when I installed this screensaver. I work for a subsidiary of a major Japanese carmaker, and our network here at the company headquarters is comprised of about 1,000 WinXP machines (all set to admin rights by default...it's a nightmare, don't ask) plus the assorted SPARC machines for CAD and so on. I installed the screensaver on a whim (had received an unholy amount of spam that day and the BBC headline caught my eye) then was too busy to see what it was doing. When I did look at it, it was doing its thing with pretty arrows and graphs, so I thought, nice, take that you evil scum (besides, it's the company's bandwidth, so...). The very next day, which was when the news about spammers hacking the Lycos server started coming in, our whole network was down. It would come on for two minutes, then go down again for ten, then come back up for two, then go down again, in an endless loop which lasted the entire day. Needless to say, the IT guys started panicking and asked me what I'd done, since I am the one who is usually installing Firefox on every unattended machine, and tossing Knoppix CD's to everyone who wants them - and I for one had to lie and said 'me? noooooooothing'. I still don't know if it had anything to do with the screensaver (I uninstalled it, and the network is fine now), but it was weird. Go figure, you start using a funny screensaver that promises to fight evil and end up DDoSing an entire network, your own.
mate, if you work for Nova and haven't yet figured out that the management there is made up of robots, then you need to stop reading slashdot and have a look at the world around you.
Like before, we are looking for beta testers, to test a new P2P program. If you would like to help us, please click here and enter your forum nickname in the form on the website. In order to participate in the beta testing, you need to be a member of our forum . If you are not yet a member, just follow this link and register there. You will need to have at least three (3) posts on the forum in order to be able to participate in the beta testing. Please only register for the beta testing if you really plan on helping test the program. Meaning you will download and upload with/in the program. The program is for Windows only! Hurry because there are only 5000 places available!"
No, not flamebait (although I'd mod you all the way down to Antarctica if I had any points left) - just plain wrong. You have GOT to be joking about WMP. That piece of shit is so bloated it's not even funny.
Winamp is a nice piece of software indeed, but I take it you have never tried this. Much, much better. Uses less memory, plays anything you throw at it, great community, it's free - anything else I'm missing? Also, please stop mentioning WMP. This is Slashdot, after all.
You'd think that IBM would be all over this with Lotus Notes but there's nothing.
Mate, don't even joke about that. Notes is an abomination, and I can't even bear to think about the myriad ways in which it sucks. Especially since my company forces me to use it. Please stop saying that dreaded word - it is an abomination of the highest order, the most unintuitive and badly-designed piece of software EVER.

and get a life in the process. oh, wait...
...the number 4 is pronounced the same way as death (which is why Japanese people hate living on the 4th floor etc). :)
so we are doomed after all
here we go then: /ducks

a math museum ??? can someone explain what a math museum contains? surely not the pickled brain of Leibnitz next to Pascal's toothbrush?
