I know how even a mild infection can make life stink (no pun). You need to forget about Slackware right now; it can wait. You can't.
I'm sure the last thing you want is Yet Another Slashdotter's Opinion, but I really think you should try sticking it out with a doctor that's near Fargo. Slashdot and Google probably aren't the greatest places to find medical advice, but it's a step in the right direction. If you've been on Cipro that long, you need to try something different...and I don't mean V-cillin-K.
At the very least, you can be sure you're gonna get lots of prayer, and knocking on wood.
Hey, with God and Slashdot rooting for you, how could you not get better. ; ) I hope you feel better very soon!
Someone should make a rule against posting these freaking subscription-only stories. No one should have to disclose their household's income just to read about Bill Gates. Talk about adding insult to injury. ; )
If you need a username and password to read the article, try "slashdotted2004".
That should work until some idiot changes the password...
A more descriptive article about this can be found here. I found this portion to be most interesting...
The substance of the arms control provisions is in Article IV. This article restricts activities in two ways:
First, it contains an undertaking not to place in orbit around the Earth, install on the moon or any other celestial body, or otherwise station in outer space, nuclear or any other weapons of mass destruction.
Where in the mentioned article does it indicate that the new weapons will be nuclear (or WMDs)? This sounds (mostly) legal to me.
I suggest mobile.cnn.com, if you can get it on your phone. On my phone (AT&T wireless), it has a bunch of pages like "Top Stories", "Full Results", "The Candidates", and "What's at Stake"
Since I'll be volunteering up until the polls close, I suppose I'll be using it a lot...
(after that, it's fox news all the way...I like my news the way I wanna hear it!)
Maybe I'm reading this page wrong, but does it say WiMax gets 268mbps each way? Gosh, maybe I will get this book!
Of course, since most broadband connections are still stuck around 2-3mbps, I doubt many hotspots and businesses will upgrade. Who needs a connection that fast to check their email and listen to Eminem?
On a personal level, though, I can't get "268" out of my head.....268...268... Does anyone know how far the signal goes?
The advanced drawing capabilities of Quartz are exposed to the Web Kit environment through a set of modular extensions to HTML. This will let you draw beautiful user interfaces using JavaScript.
This has got to be the coolest new feature, considering how weak DHTML currently is. I could be wrong, but adding support for other APIs doesn't seem like it would be too hard. I'd love to finally be able to ditch Win32.
I just installed Google Desktop today, but so far I'm pretty impressed. Even though it's still indexing, I haven't noticed any difference in speed.
Google Desktop isn't spyware, because it makes what it is doing clear before you install it. Of course it reads your files; that's how Google works. As long as my data doesn't go back to Google, I couldn't care less.
And actually, if everyone could choose just some of our files to make available publicly, think how much more useful Google would be.
Maybe that's their plan. Get everybody to index their disks, and than offer killer p2p on Google.com.
Here are links to Google-translated versions of the aforementioned articles at heise.de and spiegel.de. They don't translate very well, but you can kind of get the idea...

So the plan is to slashdot God on Patrick's behalf?
No, he said to "Say prayers, knock on wood, whatever." You only have to pray if you want...
The load should be roughly distributed between servers, so to speak.
We all wish you the best of luck, Pat!

Hmmmm...does Gaim really *need* to support it? I mean, it is open source...
I think the bigger question is: why Gaim? There are plenty of other free chat clients (like Gush) that might even endorse this.

You probably liked the "Dude, you're going to Hell" advertisements, too.
Possibly. But knocking an enemy's satellite out can hardly be considered "mass" destruction.

A very bad idea, possibly, but illegal?
That one is gone, but there are still plenty left...
We don't have polls here. It's all vote-by-mail.

This study makes no sense. My school, the University of Oregon, offers free web hosting, discounted computers, support for handheld computers, multimedia equipment to borrow, and courses in emerging technologies. Why is all the information at Forbes.com wrong?
I'm not saying the UO is high tech, or that they should have been rated higher. I just wonder if they screwed up the data from other schools, too.
Yes.
Gosh, if Yahoo bows down like this, I wonder what Google news says.
I hope this means they'll be finishing construction on their new research center soon.

There actually is something worse than 300 baud:
A 300bps winmodem.

Does anybody *else* think that would be awesome?
It won't cost anything if you already have a copy, which about 1% of the population does.
I'm pretty sure additional licenses are quite cheap.
I don't have to pay anyway...my school has a site license, so I've been running it for free using PearPC.
