Nintendo has been quietly furious about ROM trading all along; now they are taking constructive action by offering them via Revolution (as opposed to just destructive legal action). I think they are finally noticing the sites that call their 'ware "unused classics" (hint: search for that phrase + ROMs) and giving them what they want (all for the price of an original DRM tool, the console).

...will the damn computer itself stop responding from the impact?!? I mean, we might be running Web sites or keeping books (both accounts and literature) with software that uses chips with these things. Still, it's quite frightening.
...let go of their fears of their software being *ahem* "pirated" around the Internet.
Sometimes one has to realize that they are lucky to receive payment for one copy, much less thousands. They should stop suing and be happy with whatever they get from sales.
Anything that can somehow display 1280*720 and 1920*1080 (progressive and interlaced, though at 60Hz) in 17 inches (my Dell e770s--disregard its girlie Windows driver) is teh cool. It's a cubish CRT, but it's...shall I say...wondrous.
Compare to a typical 1024*768 resolution monitor (my bro's laptop) that *shudder* interpolates across as many pixels in lower settings, and doesn't even allow settings above said 1024*768. I too shall stick with the bulky CRT, thank you.
I edited a few Wikipedia articles and made one, but (from reading the story) I'm very glad that I did so anonymously. Now if someone leaks my Slashdot password, they are just asking for a beating...or something like that.
...and apparently for the PS2 also, unless they wanted to pay someone boatloads for that first stage of Starblade, which comes up whenever the PS2 version of Tekken 5 is started.
Servers should get the IPs that do the most of said refreshing, and create a public Most Likely IPs To Slashdot Your Server(TM) list, so other web servers can restrict traffic a bit to them (maybe serve their pages after casual readers get them?). It's either that or sticking with no one seeing the page for a while as usual, after every hot topic...or something like that. (Of course, IPs can and often are dynamic, in which case I have no clue for a plan-B.)
*sigh* now I gotta learn to dodge katanas and knives as I buy my software?
I'm all for this. If it's not binary, though, it's a problem: I've only been able to compile one FOSS program from source for reasons unknown to me. I'll figure it out someday, I guess...
I mean, we have extremely valuable programming on our networks. You know, Survivor, The Real World, Fox 5 News, year-old number-three-at-the-box-office movies...we've come a long way, baby!
(this damn form keeps removing those sarcasm tags--and I personally hope someone puts that Conan O' Brien in primetime, in place of that stuff.)

...is WEAR IT and...[audience]HIT IT!
From the inventor of the Showtime(TM) and the GLH hair system!
(I couldn't think of a two-syllable word for sex that rhymed with "wear"...)
...so our processors should get high from speed. Interesting theory.

...it's not combined with C12H19Cl3O8 or C14H18N2O5, it would probably work.
Does a Beowulf cluster of these molecules run Linux in the post-9/11 world?
...and if not, will the terrorists of Soviet Russia defeat YOU?

She's so fat, she's become a 2-terabyte server?

"the international campaign against television"
So you hate the logo? I'm campaigning for my TV box, thank you.
(Side note: Thank you agent, for the Ashanti picture. I prefer white girls, but she's quite the exception.)
...Hooyah!
Though I worry your post only presages a dream...
(Side note: where did the apparently ineffective CAPTCHAs go?)
A shout-out, dedication, recognition...check Urban Dictionary, that should know better.
...does it learn to run Linux?
Your ignorance of this previous post would have frightened me if I liked Terminator 3 (I haven't seen it).
Well, as long as this supercomputer doesn't run for Guhvuhnuh of Cullifornia and try to close dee bordahs, it'll be all right. Maybe.
...just got wikified and PWN3D!!1

s/other planets/other countries
s/Earth/the USA
Thank you.
...and apparently for the PS2 also, unless they wanted to pay someone boatloads for that first stage of Starblade, which comes up whenever the PS2 version of Tekken 5 is started.
Interestingly, they seem to own patents on Flash versions of their non-Flash games, too.
If they do this wrong, this'll be just another less-secure-than-Apache server, even with separated components.
This SSL security better be tough, lest they receive extra damage to their reputation.
...Slashdot's comments.pl removed your sarcasm tags too. You DID mean IE, right?
I agree, but "And what happened to Padme's pants?" will still be my sig.
Best. Conspiracy. Rebuttal. Ever.
...which exact people/bots do the most requests.

...so the Gideons are jumping on the FOSS bandwagon? I guess we'll see leather-bound books with Firefox's source on their crinkly pages then.
Not that I'd mind, though it'd be a bit weird for 4:1 to refer to Line 4, Column 1 of main.c as opposed to Chapter 4, Verse 1 of Genesis...
