Seriously, though, how do you manage to keep fping with these? Does one of the slashdot editors like them enough that he notifies you whenever there's a new mars story?
Nah. They want it to go the other way. They'll concentrate on SFU until it's up to the point where any random linux program works on it with a straight recompile. Then, windows will have the full spread of OSS programs available for it, as well as all the MS stuff, while linux only runs what it now runs.
And so it will balance out. The overshooting coyotes will kill lots of the deer, then there won't be enough and the coyote population plummets, so the deer population rises, but less each time until it evens out again. And doing it that way will result in a much better stable population in the end. Nature knows what it's doing much better than we do, it's had 3 billion years to get it right. Humans trying to interfere in nature one way or the other always cause problems. In australia (I think) the ignorant humans put out all the fires, and now there's too much dry stuff that would normally be cleared out by the regular smaller fires so there's a real risk of an enormous fire destroying whole forests. That's what would result from stopping fires.
Erm, no, that's called *defending your home* and is something that's supported under law. You can kill people in defence of your home and still be innocent; plenty of people have done this.
Have they been convicted of a crime? Have they committed one and got off unfairly? Have they, in fact, done anything that could even remotely be construed as wrong? (No, trying to live, even in an overpopulated area, does not count. You can't seriously be requiring animals to kill themselves)
The software is mostly there if you look for it. I recently discovered the wonderful KTechLab for designing and modelling circuits with, my school could certainly use that in place of their current electronics software.
KDE has gotten a lot better with 3.4 and, crucially, faster, taking away one of the main reasons people avoid it. Also, gnome's trend for imposing changes with no way to turn them off (2.6.0 came with nautilus spatial browsing and the only way to change it was manual registry editing, they only added the preference after user outcry) I would think has turned some away from them.
I think being forced into a "spatial" file manager with *no way to turn it off* (there's been some rewriting of history here by gnome people, but 2.6.0 had spatial nautilus and the only way to turn it off was manually editing the registry, I know, I was there) was the last straw for many. Either that or the stupid reversed confirmation dialog with no way to turn it off. Or the incredibly cramped new file selector that gives you about 4 pixels to browse your filesystem once you've clicked an expansion button, with, again, no way to turn it off. The KDE way of adding options whenever some random person thinks someone might want to change something is far from perfect, but gnome needs to start giving preferences when they make big contentious changes. They add the preference after x.y.2 or so with all the user outcry, why don't they give users a choice from the start?
Generally, yes. Web apps are incredibly stupid anyway, but that's another debate. Anyway, the only way they should be done is running through some sandbox-type thing that is *only* used for remote code. Even java with its signing/sandbox based model has its share of problems, because local apps need to be able to modify the local filesystem (there are filemanagers in java) but if java apps can modify the filesystem that means web apps can. There are dumb user exploits (the recent one where spyware installed itself via jvm whichever browser you used is an example) which can really only be stopped by having separate technologies for local and remote, and I also wonder what would happen if someone got a certificate and decided to abuse it. It would get revoked pretty quick, but there might be time to exploit a lot of users before that. Java has a pretty decent separation of remote and local though, it knows when it's running remote code and mostly manages to separate it, so it's not such a problem - it definately does not expect code to be local. But it's still a fairly bad idea.
This is what happens when you tie together parts of the OS that shouldn't be put together. In particular, has apple not realised that having the browser tied to anything that expects local rather than remote content is fundamentally an incredibly stupid idea?
Erm, yeah, the part where it says "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech". Making speech illegal, any kind of speech, under any circumstances, is making a law abridging the freedom of speech.
Just adding, the standard parallel port is very nice for when your nic breaks, especially on a laptop or similar. A simple home-made cable and you can have a 500kbps connection between two parallel ports, enable ip forwarding and possibly dhcp server on the host and you're ready to go.
Funny mods are a karma loser (you don't get any when modded up, and there's no way to mod you down without costing you karma so people who think it's not funny tend to mod overrated or offtopic) so some people mod funny posts insightful to try and make it a bit fairer.
The monopoly itself is important. Nitrogen is far more stable than any company, which is an advantage, because you can much more safely depend on it. You should, however, make sure you have the source for any gases you use, because you never know when your current supplier will go under.

Hardly. The gimp works and works fine. It's more like working phone::fancy phone with mp3 player and camera and stuff on.
Like many slashdot users, you seem to forget to RTFA.
The widgets themselves aren't remote. It's the difference between a web browser and a web page.
Then slashdot would declare them outcasts and not publish stories about them. It's probably already happened
Absolutely. Why are christians so anti-sex? Seriously, why would we be made the way we are if it wasn't something we're meant to do?
If it's not enjoyable for the "hunter", and that's what matters, then where is the need for the law? People wouldn't do it if they didn't enjoy it.

Food is a basic necessity. It is a right, in fact, part of the basic human right to life. There is no basic human right to sport.
What makes a more even match for a set of antlers, a knife or a high-powered rifle?
Sound pretty innocent to me
I think it must be astroturfers. Apple has some bounty for anyone who mods down an anti-apple opinion. Because really, it's ridiculous.

It's the default on slackware if you install using just the one disc.

Which makes it impossible to not append on *known* tlds how?
