The subject of this story sounds more like propaganda than any article I've seen in a long time... Not saying it isn't true, but the wording is quite funny.
Check out Yahoo's search results compared to Google's search results.
It's only their own results that they're messing with, which although sneaky is within their rights (though I thought they promised to index pages without bias, after all they don't filter out fascist or illegal pages).
You'd think they had better ways to fiddle their own results than spoofing pages when they see their own bot.
And since when do they keep caches of their own pages?
Nevertheless, you tried to directly access the memory from a process running on Windows NT, (which doesn't allow anything except drivers anywhere near most hardware, even if you are the closest approximation it has to root)?
Oh well, get a real Linux. Knoppix can be nice if you don't like partitions.
BTW do you have X on colinux, and how?
Why don't we get fatal shootings every day here in the UK? Or even better, what about Canada? It must be trivial to get weapons across the border from the US. Are you really so defeatist as to just say that society has collapsed and everyone who doesn't defend themselves is at risk?
That might be a very good point. Maybe, unlike in the civilized parts of the world, residents of the USA really do need firearms for self defence because society has collapsed into violence and disorder. Or thats what I hear from the pro-gun Americans who say they are to afraid to go unarmed, anyway...
I'm afraid you must be mistaken. You see, the reason the USA cannot ban firearms is that suddenly law-abiding citizens would be unarmed while all crimanals would be carrying heavy assault weaponary acquired through the smuggling rings which would instantly spring up.
Then you would have total anarchy, like in Canada, which is now full of weapons smuggled over the huge, poorly gaurded border with the world's most heavilly armed developed country (ok maybe second).
Ever heard of a thing called the Constitution? Maybe even the 2nd Amendment?
Please don't take this as flamebait; I actually want to know this. Why is the Constitution sacred? I'm obviously not saying the whole thing is crap, but what is so great about it that makes what it says morally right?
So, to summerise, I don't understand why the argument that the constitution agrees with you makes your point correct.
If I lived in the US, I would feel that my human right to live comes before your right to bear arms.

t certainly will not apply to the casual seller on eBay
You didn't even Read The Fucking Summery, let alone TFA. You were just trying to get first post. Boring.
Furthermore, there is a forum spellchecker available for free for Mozilla and Firefox. Use it for your next Slashdot post, or at least for the subject of your next Slashdot post.
Just like gun control, this will never stop a scammer but will punish the honest.
Gun control = off topic.
There are legitimate reasons to sell on ebay, but a gun is for shooting people with (don't talk bullshit about hunting with handguns).
If no one can use ebay, it gets very hard to buy and sell things that not everyone wants to buy and impossible to run ebay scams. If no one has guns, no one gets to shoot people.
The monkeys are busy writing it. It's like infinite monkeys trying to write shakespeare, except when they finally write code that compiles it has many many unused lines, contibuting to bloat.
AFAIK, Flash (or at least most animations) has no audio sync. Audio simply starts here and you hope the video is the right speed. On slower/faster computers, it moves out of sync. The animations were probably made on medium-quality windows boxes, and you are running a very different machine.
Yes, Firefox matches my KDE desktop perfectly. I think you would like GTK-QT Are you really saying you didn't have GTK+ installed anyway? Never used the gimp? Or xscreensaver?
Netscape and CNN are both notably part of the AOL Time Warner media, internet and mind control group. So if you watch CNN's somewhat inaccurate news coverage, you are an AOLer.
The NSA is secure. You are not secure, the NSA ()\/\/|\|Z your computer, and possibly your mind. I exist, but I can't prove it. You might not exist, you might be a highly unlikely bug in Slashcode. My advice to you, if you exist, or even if you are just a bug, is to eat lots of cheese for supper, possibly in a pizza, unless you are lactose intolerant.
I hope life makes more sense now. I can hear digeredoo music.
Looks like they have switched to using native graphics engines instead of there own system. The screenshots show it adapting to it's host system like Firefox does.
GTK (and QT?) integration is cool, but did they have to copy Microsoft Office's stupid toolbar graphics on Windows??
To me that looks like it was rendered using GTK (or is that QT?) and matches the other apps instead of being rendered using Oo.o's own old graphics engine and looking like a Windows app.
I've heard that they know it is bloated and are working on it. They have certainly speeded things up a bit since 1.0 came out, and I hope they continue optimising it.

Sorry for telling you to get a real distro.
VNC using xvnc might be easier than cygwin perhaps?
"Simple remap root to an NFS share on my machine"
Yes. And then you have to take the network down.
Good luck.
Sorry about that.

I am now off at least 3 different topics.

Oh, wait. Physically attacking a software company? Where's the fun in that?
Funny, not flamebait, mods!
You really think I'm seroius when I say AOL does mind control?
Simple. Longhorn is newer. It must be better.
That and next years games not supporting XP, and everyone keeps going round and round, better hardware but the same performance...

I will. To start with, just remember that cheese is good...

I'm sorry, I'm truly ashamed. I was tired.
