Kinda ironic the article brakes almost as many usability rules as it points out:
1) No alt tags - you've used images to number your list, yet no alternative text for blind users (or those with images off), this is a very well established as bad usability
2) Confusing title - you say top 10, but don't actually have 10 items on your list, an important aspect of usability is clarity, which your title lacks.
3) Consistency - you've divided each item into sub-sections, yet the sub-sections are inconsistent with from one item on the list to the next. If a sub-section is not applicable, I suggest you add, for instance: "History: N/A," this will save readers scrolling back and forth for a section they might believe to have missed
4) No submission form - You provide an option for people to submit suggestions for your list, yet fail to provide a basic HTML form for them to do this, instead you opt to let them do the work.
There are more, but I'll stop here, since I expect this to be modded down anyway. I hope you see the irony.
Does that mean the satellite is programming user brains with commercials?:-)
Or do I have a wrong translation of "programming"? Sorry, I'm not a native speaker, but the use of "programming" instead of "broadcasting" looks a bit strange to me.
Whenever something translates into complete moronic gibberish, yes, the chances are you translated it wrong, on no, wait, this is/., you probably translated it perfectly.
I made myself a commitment to build every do-it-yourself item project on slashdot, I've just started on this one. People keep asking me what it's for, I tell them, now they are starting to look at me kinda funny
I have seen MANY R/C toy systems being used as the detonator for remotely-detonated IED's.
Do you need any more evidence that this war is complete bullshit, when it's reached the point where American soldiers are passing time racing remote control cars.

Attributes damnit, attributes! Not tags. Christ, it annoys me when other people do it.

I don't need any of this IDE crap; I send assembly instructions directly to the kernel using an oscillator connected to a PS2 cable

You do realise he's dead?
I was educated in a foreign language, so my spelling in English sucks. I only pointed out the misspellings I noticed.
It's an application protocol, that functions over TCP, you can't really say it's a TCP protocol.
On the other hand, lets say we're talking about a new revision of the TCP protocol ... TCP version 42 ... wouldn't that be a new TCP protocol as well?
Yes, it could be, like I said in my post.
where = were
> Isn't "TCP protocol" redundant anyway?
I think acrynums where invented for the hilarity of watching stupid people prepend/append the abbriviated words to them (yes, just like I did above).
> Has anyone every stopped to think this might be too fast for its own good?
Has the infamous Bill Gates quote not taught you anything?
TCP is a specific protocol, a "new" TCP protocol would suggest a different protocol, unless it means a revision of the current protocol.
Apparently they haven't changed it yet because their web-development department is having trouble finding the FrontPage shortcut
It's been fixed now, it's gone back to the original slogan: "We own all your code, pay us all your money."
It's been granted moderation powers as well, so be careful what you say
it was a joke! (sometimes I wish I could mod myself down)
or maybe they just like the new slogan
About 10 processor cores, right?
They should have enough power to divide by zero by now, right? or is that still to "difficult"

Is that you, Truman?

He has a long white beard, so yes
why the hell haven't SCO fixed it yet, haven't they noticed?
Someone needs to explain a few things to Killjoy_NL, his parents obviously didn't.
