... then they should have gone for a custom FreeBSD solution. All the stability of OS X without the heinous cost of proprietary hardware and software. The outlay on custom development for their needs would have been offset with cheaper hardware, no licencing costs, and then they would have completely owned their own software rather than being locked into the vendor relationship.
Am I the only one who gets stoned all day and is too paranoid to leave the house? Whenever I get wasted, the idea of having to interact with normal people (especially if I can't leave my sunglasses on) goes from being mildly distressing to unbearable.
It'd be much more interesting to set up a linux box to stream the video of you fucking the dead badger out onto the internet, and then charge admission to watch it... you'd be a millionaire in no time.
You better hide all your money under the mattress and stash the weed in your underwear drawer.;-)

I'd say that a lot of Slashdot users are linux desktop users, I feel it's a valuable service. Normally I hear about the latest and greatest kernel releases through/. first.
What the hell kind of rip off was this thread? I was expecting some hardcore fragging action, not some fairy text adventure shit! I of the MTV generation - read? I don't have time to read anything!
The idea is to push your competitors out of the competition by costing them tons and tons in click throughs, so you have the ad space all to yourself. You also pay less per click if there are no competitors for a keyword.

Actually no, click fraud is a real problem with Google (and all other pay per click engines). There have been many times when my Adwords traffic has spiked, sales have plummeted and conversions gone through the floor, and I am 99% sure that it is click fraud - the logs are just FULL of proxies, and Google seems helpless to do anything about it, but still happily collects the money.
The trees are there to hide him from the lady down the road while he's watching her get undressed. I would have thought that'd be obvious to any self respecting nerd.;-)
Exactly. Every day I have to run a script that generates randomized html pages - it's pretty straight forward, and I've optimized it as much as I can short of rewriting it in another language, but it is still pretty processor intensive and always maxes the CPU out to 99%. A faster processor is a god send, because it means that with a processor that's twice as fast, I have to spend half as many hours a day running this script and can use the cycles for something else. It's simple economics.
They should definitely improve the default theme with the phoenicity one - a lot of new users will have their first impression formed by the look and feel of the browser rahter than just the functionality. Firefox and Thunderbird look pretty slick - Mozilla just looks like a 90s Netscape throwback.
It's a never ending circle - designers who don't know anything about web standards and have only ever used IE make sites that only work in IE - people try a new browser like Mozilla, and see that their favourite sites are "broken" in the new browser (when really it's because the sites were built to work around the non-compliant IE) - so they go back to IE...
That said I've found Firefox does a pretty good job of rendering most pages well.

You just can't, they fuck everything up.
My carrier pidgeon got through just fine, check your config.
There's just not really much you can say about a maintenance release.
Yes, I am that desperate.

Come on now, bestiality is fun for the whole family!

Those were the days... computers seemed so simple back then. ;-)
First legalized prostitution, and now this. ;-)
They claim that they do but they don't, or else their software is hopelessly ineffectual... click fraud is a real problem with Adwords.

Of course not, this is Slashdot. ;-)
I read on Slashdot that BSD is dying anyway.

Konqueror anyway is just shit, full respect to the developers for having a go but the page rendering is just awful.
