Of course! They always play those advertisements for those god awful products that can't sell themselves! Like...
Apple Ipod - fucking Apple, forcing that shiny 40gb mp3 player down my throat.
Satallite Radio - what fucktard thought it would be intelligent to beam radio from space directly to me, particuarly when im watching TV
Tivo - I wish I could skip through this Tivo commercial.
The original 1984 Mac - what a horrible flop THAT was, clearly the largest waste of an ad campaign eVAR!
But *incredible* products just fly off the shelf at their own free will, with no advertising what so ever! Like...
Segway - I've never seen an ad for a segway! These devices are going to CHANGE THE FUCKING WAY WE BUILD CITIES!!!
Rokr - Subpar MP3 and Cell Phone in the same device; that's the wave of the future. All the advertising money spent on Nano? No worries, Rokr will change the future.
Daikatana - If youre still reading, I eat people.
Wait.... a CS nerd, who hasn't changed in three weeks, calls out a 10 billion-dollar-a-month-industry that is Advertising -- on the amazing revelation that "good products sell themselves"? When you aren't furiously masterbating to Inu Yasha and reading slashdot, please go to your MKTG 101 class this week.
One thing I have noticed in the recent year is the upsurge in Ralink (RA) WiFi devices. Taiwanese motherboards manufacturers are bundling 802.11 cards by the thousands with high end motherboards with RA cards. ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte all bundle RA cards with their "deluxe" motherboards.
Since RA is a very Taiwanese component, and motherboards are - of course - *very* Taiwanese components, it would be excellent if FreeBSD took advantage of the opportunity to embrace RA in the same manner that Linux has. For bonus points, PLEASE backport to 5.x and 4.x since many of us (particularly DJB and myself) refuse to move off 4.x unless it is absolutely needed.
"Ron Gremban" did not build a car that does 250MPG; he got 80MPG on $3,000 investment in fuel cells. No where in the article title nor summary does it say he only got 80, the only number stated was 250MPG. The article barely dabbles on the 200+ MPG cars other than mentioning them in fact. Great submission and great RTFA defense to an article you barely read yourself.
Slashdot continued to gain users. And with more users came more load. On several occasions we broke 25.00. Who knew that sendmail shuts off once you break 25.00? -Rob Malda
What's even more pathetic is the submitter WROTE the article... Hopefully the "review" generated some good ad traffic since that will be the last time I visit them.
Slashdot Mirror
...webserver hosting the information on where the telescope was pointing had the IP address of the Spanish researchers in its log files...
Another win for Tor!

The advertisements on Slashdot are getting more blatent by the minute.

And what is the magical name of that file:

What a bunch of assclowns.

I noticed the game doesn't support widescreen resolution, nor resolutions over 1600x1200. This probably should have been mentioned in the "review".
HJ
The day Microsoft paid $5,000 per Slashdot review. You can quote me on that too.
HJ
Firstly it is only being developed by a single parntership (Canon and Toshiba) who are being cagey about reavealing tech details
DLP was developed exclusively by TI. No one would argue DLP wiped the floor on the competition.
HJ
Oh oh, don't forget Red Bull v. Coffee. Oh, wait, that would be retarded.
HJ
Um.. More like SED will wipe the floor of LCD and OLED; DLP will probably find a way to replace Plasma in the home.

Ah I suppose you're correct. I guess since the author submitted his own article, those sort of idiosyncrasies occur.
HJ
Does anyone care anymore? I only point out the mistakes so I can linkify them for Anti-Slash.
You would think if some company is going to buy a Slashvertisement, they would at least check their grammar first.

I'd rather the NSA found the exploits...
The NSA did this six years ago. Just pick up any phone and ask them.
HJ
I am just going to rip my own comments from the last time Slashdot posted this article, since no one cares about dupes anymore.

The summary has also been editted since I commented (thanks mirrordot!). And I thought you didn't care about us Taco. *heart*

I'll bite, because I did RTFA. (You skimmed it)

Here's a keeper:

HJ
No where in the article does it state that he actually got 250MPG. It only alludes to the fact that "modders" can. What an awful skew of the facts.
HJ
Then the submitter shouldn't have copied it?
HJ
Then it would say nate.oo "quotes", not nate.oo "writes".
HJ
What's even more pathetic is the submitter WROTE the article... Hopefully the "review" generated some good ad traffic since that will be the last time I visit them.
