you often have to wade through repeats, jokes, etc.
The jokes are the best part, though! I don't know about you, but I'd find it awfully hard to live with myself if I didn't get my daily dose of netcraft and overlord welcomings.
sucks when you're using a process that uses "gettimeofday" to time itself, such as xscreensaver. I recall when something hosed my system and set my clock back to 1970, and I used NTP which caused xscreensaver to realize that 120 seconds past 1970 was DEFINITELY at least 10 minutes earlier than January 15th, 2005
I agree, why the hell is this under YRO? I don't know about anyone else but I'm having a helluva time seeing what this has to do with my rights or even the internet in general.
It seems to me more like a random winery that uses linux. Big deal. I'm working in a company that uses linux. My father works in a company that uses linux (once-largest beowulf cluster in the world, actually). I don't see why it's a surprise to anyone that "gasp" Linux is usable in an industry.

Sorry, I swear I have no problem with truly unattractive geeks. I just wish some of them had a sense of hygeine and personal space. I mean, if Asia Carerra came up to me with bad breath and got in my face, it wouldn't be very pleasant. I'd still do her in every orfice possible, but I wouldn't be happy about it.

Parent never said he was a *fan* of AMD, just that he liked AMD's products. Your entire post, albeit interesting, is moot point. Which I guess is alright, (+4 interesting, -1 moot) I think calling people on fanatical cheerleading of companies that clearly don't deserve it (see: Apple, Microshaft) is probably something we need to call them on, but I don't see a problem with cheerleading a company that produces good products, tends to be the "good guy" in relation to their major competitor (see: Intel v. AMD for list of anti-competitve abuses, try groklaw, I'm lazy), and generally has more advanced processors. Also, it's not that it's "unfair" that Intel dominates the market, it's that they dominate it unfairly. If you read the literature behind the Intel v. AMD case, you'll see how Intel basically has a testicle-grip over a lot of the market using scare tactics and deep pockets to keep AMD off the shelves. Personally, I'm *hoping* AMD wins, because right now AMD, I think, is the best option for myself and my systems, not to mention I'd like to reward competition and innovation.
Logged-in Master of Bravery has a point. The only real reasons AMD doesn't have the bigger market share are: 1) Intel's been around longer 2) Intel plays more anti-competitive hardball (see: their pockets are deeper) 3) Intel's pockets are deeper
What I find great is that even though intel's compiler makes AMD code run slower, I still find AMD faster and more reliable than intel chips. -- Proud AthlonXP T-bred 2700+ user, soon to be AMD64 in my ASUS laptop for college (yes, I know I don't *need* it. XP)

What if he was just a really good player doing the exact same thing? Then he wouldn't get arrested. Let's separate the good from the bad here: OKAY THINGS TO DO - a) Steal people's virtual shit b) Sell people's virtual shit at auction, regardless of how it is obtained (stolen, found, won)
NOT OKAY THINGS TO DO - a) use a bot
So the only REAL offense made here was using a bot, which should theoretically only result in a termination of EULA and revoking license. There's no *fraud* here, just a guy who exploited the system. It's not like these are counterfeit items...

Well, it'll start with their bringing diseases into the country that we weren't expecting, bugs under their skin, parasites in their stomachs, and then they'll reject our food and ultimately break out of the reservations and start attacking people.

Great, I've always wanted even _more_ antisocial, nerdy, squealy geeks to hardcore scream "YOU FUCKING ZERGED MY CLOUDSONG!"

Dear Slashdot. NOT A FUCKING PODCAST.

There once was a fencer named frisk,
whose movement exceedingly brisk
so quick was his action
the Fitzgerald Contraction
reduced his rapier to a disc
