Yea, that's the only assumption. Shall I go into the list of unspoken implications your statement brings?
Again, I repeat, perhaps you should go to Digg or/g/ if you lack that basic mental faculty.
No, let me do that for you. I wouldn't want you to assume things that weren't really there.
(i.) New section: "Tell Slashdot" (ii.) I'll just move on, because I can't see anything here. If I wanted to know this I would've gone to Wikipedia. (iii.) Somehow I thought this was a news site (maybe it says something about that in the tagline?), but I must have been mistaken. Silly me.
i. Sarcastic reference about the submission style compared to 'Ask Slashdot' (a very worthy section). Inference: I don't expect to be told anything on this website as if I was a child. I do expect to find valuable content which is new and matters. ii. Sarcastic reference to the Slashdot tagline, then a statement about the article not having any valuable content - plus that I could find this out quite trivially at Wikipedia. iii. Yet more sarcasm (surprise!).
Nothing at all has been suggested about the intellect of Slashdot readers or where they should go. Also, have you looked at nearly all of the other comments against this submission? I suggest you do that before replying. You will see that I am not alone with my views.
Yes, it's on idle.slashdot.org - but this isn't news in any sense of the word.
Just because it's from another computing website and the submitter has put other (dubious) articles through, it shouldn't mean that more drivel is allowed in as well.

Please, come on. Have you seen how many comments against this story that are saying that there is nothing to read in TFA? It was not written by an expert.
If an expert in the field had actually spent the time to go through all of the logos and tell me the ins-and-outs of what they actually mean or had provided a chart with break-down logo-by-logo.. then that would be good on Slashdot, and I would appreciate it.
The only assumption I made was that this was a news site - hence the tongue-in-cheek "Tell Slashdot" title in reference to 'Ask Slashdot'. Do you get it?
Throwing insults around and using capitals is a very intelligent way to put your point across. Thankyou.
I have a plastic tube from my brain to my stomach. It works wonders for me socially!:\
To find out more, do some reading up on Non-communicating Hydrocephalus:)
It's not really plastic, though, the substance is actually silicone-plastic ("silastic" - polydimethylsiloxane).
On a side point, I've had this tube (yes, the very same one!) in me since I was 10 weeks old back in mid-86. There's no need at all to replace it unless there's a complication, so I'll most likely have it in me until I finally go 6 feet under.
What is the life expectancy of an RFID implant? Are they truly non-destructible and will stay with the wearer for life?
It's very similar to these shows they have on TV where people say they really want to move to country x on the other side of the world. Usually, after 3 or 4 weeks, they end up saying they "don't like country x" or want to go back home because "home is better".
You can't expect country x / product y to be the same as what you were used to before. Grow some balls and stick with it.
If you wanted it in the first place, then why not now?
Did these companies fully look into the situation before migrating or are they doing this to give Linux a bad name?

"I want it to be said that the Bush administration was a results-oriented administration, because I believe the results of focusing our attention and energy on teaching children to read and having an education system that's responsive to the child and to the parents, as opposed to mired in a system that refuses to change, will make America what we want it to be--a literate country and a hopefuller country." -- Washington, D.C., Jan. 11, 2001

Mozilla's browsers global usage share is still growing according to OneStat.com
Amsterdam - November 2 2005 - OneStat.com (www.onestat.com), the number one provider of real-time web analytics, today reported that Mozilla's browsers have a total global usage share of 11.51 percent. The total usage share of Mozilla increased 2.82 percent since April 2005. Microsoft's Internet Explorer still dominates the global browser market with a global usage share of 85.45 percent which is 1.18 percent less as at the end of April.
"The global usage share of Mozilla's browsers is still growing and it seems that Netscape users and some Internet Explorer users are switching to the Firefox version. It also looks like that browser users of Internet Explorer for Apple's Mac are switching to Safari because the global usage share is still growing. It is also interesting to see that Microsoft's Internet Explorer has less global usage share in the USA as in the UK. Mozilla's browsers are more popular in USA and Canada as in the UK" said Niels Brinkman, co-founder of OneStat.com.
The most popular browsers on the web are:
1. Microsoft IE = 85.45 %
2. Mozilla Firefox = 11.51 %
3. Apple Safari = 1.75 %
4. Netscape = 0.26 %
5. Opera = 0.77 %
The purpose is for those who currently use Firefox to download this CD and show friends the true path to enlightenment.
I'm sure not all your friends will find out about Firefox/Thunderbird/etc without someone telling them about it face-to-face -- if the opposite is true, you really need to get out more!:p
In such a face-to-face situation, this is what you need to be wielding;)
They said the HD DVD format would make it easier for consumers to copy high-definition movies to computer hard drives.
Or just because it's easier to do such things would make it easier to enforce DRM and security measures on users?
If you crush a much better technology and have something much lighter (I've not read into the technical details too much), would that be beneficial for locking it down later on?
Go back to school and finish Grade 2 before your next reply.
I'd love to know which OS a cocksucking, ass pounding faggot uses on his computer. Please do tell me what you use:) (but make sure to get past Grade 2 before replying)

Does anyone know of any previous cases where companies have taken fairly successful desktop applications and made them accessible on the web?
You must obviously already have a fast Internet connection in order to download HD-DVD porn? :p
They said the HD DVD format would make it easier for consumers to copy high-definition movies to computer hard drives.
Or just because it's easier to do such things would make it easier to enforce DRM and security measures on users?

I'd love to know which OS a cocksucking, ass pounding faggot uses on his computer. Please do tell me what you use
That's exactly what I did before I made the full switch to using a Linux-based distro.
I switched from IE6 to Firefox, OE6 to Thunderbird and MS Office to OpenOffice.org.
I didn't really use Windows for much more than that, apart from gaming, so there was no need for me to use it as my main OS.
If anyone was going to ask, I now use Gentoo and am trying to convert some of my colleagues to use it at home.. sadly not at work, though.
I for one welcome our new VoIP overlord. ;-)
