How does this tripe peice of non-news make it to an article, when the article I submitted with a fresh hot-off-the-press release from Novell on their "Windows Killer" Linux Desktop OS.
"Tragedy struck today as a group of "nerds" called the '419Eaters' were killed in, what is being described as, a classic Organized Crime killing. In other news, Britney Spe...."
I have the easiest fix yet...it's a high-tech device called...A HAMMER.
"Sorry officer, it must have been crushed when I dropped it. Heh heh, new technology, go figure!"
The problem, as I see it, isn't the network - it's the content.
When I first got online, the itnernet was new and the people using it were not morons. There were tons of pages by Scientists, Colleges, Inventors, Doctors, etc etc. The internet was a vast place where knowledge and ideas were put out there to share.
Now, it is 90% coporate (including Porn biz).
I think we need to seperate the corporate web from the individual web - and not just wil a optional.biz - it needs to be enforced.
I really like those ideas. Live in a dangerous neighborhood that requires a larger police presence - then your taxes will be higher! I wonder how well these ideas would work in practice? Of course, that is assuming anyone could actually manage to get that type of system implemented.
That is exactly my point.
There are certain programs that the Government (Both National and Local) run that Taxes need to support. Fire and Police are two local ones that spring to mind - two that I wouldn't want to be without.
Where the problems come in is when Government programs are used as a way for corporations to basically steal money from the taxpayers. There needs to be a reform in how the Government handles bid-type projects and overspending. It's good that the Government pushes our tax money back into the economy through these corporations - but I feel that it could do that without lining the pockets of politicians and their favorite corporations CEO's.
Oh please. The main post was filled with enough marketspeak and buzzwords to choke a Microsoft Marketing Rep.
Tell me what it does. Tell me why it is unique or 'cool'. Tell me what problem it solves or why it is an innovation.
Ah, so this is bringing back the VR worlds of pre dot-com days?
About time now that we have hardware that can render photorealism in real-time. But, will it be useful?
Well, Tech without fashion or style doesn't sell. Some of the most innovative (and well selling) products have also demonstrated that the mfg knows that style sells...iPod anyone??
Slashdot Mirror
and that, my friend, is why I voted Badnarik.
Oh no! Whatever will I do??
Helpful, even.
Well, mine was free, and this article was helful. So na na na na na!
Kinda funny how the BSD devil up on the /. bar is looking at the worm...maybe he fears retribution?
Pox! Pox I say!
What's this? An AC bitching about grammar? On /.? When did this start!
Those nasty hominidses. We hates them!

You poor folk sure do complain a lot.

I have no problems paying taxes if I know it isn't going into pork-projects and the pockets of Politicians. I doubt many would disagree...
Easy. Just let my GPU handle it.

I can't even tell what the fuck this software is/does. So, my "Give a shit" level is at -5.
