hmmm... i think i smell a good answer to a stupid ask slashdot question!:)
here's an interesting idea for a poll - what to people do with garbage (AOL) CDs? i use them for coasters, microwave testers, things to throw at Spaz, and garbage?
I know that this will be moderated down, butWhat the fuck kind of question is this? This is easy!
Adaptec toast is probably the best burning s/w out there. That would mean that you want Mac or PC - not like it matters anyway, because there's good software for every platform.
I assume that you want this to be economical. Well, duh, get the minimum requirements for your piece of software, plus whatever extra you can afford or want to spend.
cluestick: the more ram and speed you have, the faster it will go. the faster your drive, the faster it will go.
so, you OBVIOUSLY want to have SCSI because it is the best I/O scheme available.
i am getting tired of the rediculous ask/. questions. especially the one awhile ago about "real time math processing," by which they meant games, and for which there were readily available answers.
I move for a vote of no confidence in whoever screens the ask/. questions.
I like to have people looking over *government* employees' shoulders. In fact, these keystroke logs should be published or posted to the net so that we all can see what our "civil servants" are doing with our money.

The trolls - and there are good trolls and bad trolls - have started forming real accounts and using moderation as a weapon. They will moderate up trolls, and moderate down legitimate trolls.

More linux games are desparately needed. I wish those jerks at blizzard would let Loki port Starcraft, etc. to Linux.
If there is ONE thing killing Linux (amd thus keeping MS alive) among everybody I know, it's the damn LACK OF GAMES for linux. It's like MS is PAYING Blizzard, et al not to make games.

In general, when private companies fuck up NASA style, they go out of business. If I private space company lost a hundred billion dollar mission due to human error, it'd be the last mission they ever had. If I could choose where my tax dollars went, they wouldn't go to NASA. They might have been good in the past, but they don't do shit anymore.
NASA, in general, is incompetant. They waste a shitload of money.
The post office is incompetant too. $.33 is a lot to deliver a piece of mail to one place. Light packages subsidize heavy ones, and short trips subsidize far ones. the service is bad. it's slow.
Unless you are an ardent socialist, you know that the government can't keep its shit together well enough to compete with private business
Why does it matter what they weigh? What's so damn special about the seals? Do you really think that each seal costs a billion dollars? That would make these modules cost about a hundred billion dollars. And, if that's what they really cost, whoever decided to waste that much of our money should be shot.
How can the seals not be able to cope with earth's gravity? they are on earth RIGHT NOW. that's nonsense. you haven't given any possible reason why the damn modules can't be fit together.
The ISS is going to be fraught with problems like this. What really scares me is that these pieces were never fit togther on Earth. They just send them up there without knowing what will happen. Things can get stuck, jam, or just plain not fit.
Then, it would be really screwed.
Personally, I can't wait till NASA is disbanded, and all of this is privatized. Private companies can't afford to fuck up, so you never have this kind of incompetance. We'll all be a lot better off when it happens, and it is happening.
It has A LOT to do with it. There are separate rights for a copyrighted work. Movie rights. International rights. You can have certain rights but not others, and limited rights, too.

Wow! Does Autralia not have any sort of constitution or a right to privacy? Are they volunteering or being ordered? And, if the government can just demand your bodily fluids, aren't you really just a slave.
Unfortunately, it's too late for that - they have prior art. The best weapon now is the power of the boycott. Of course, I've never liked Hasbro anyway...
Isn't there any kind of statute of limitations here? This happened years ago - how can they be suing over it? It seems like they're just rushing to take part in the late '90s "Lawsuit Mania."
Personally, I am boycotting Hasbro. It's part of my new zero-tolerance policy for frivolous lawsuits that do more harm than good. I suggest that you all join me.
It certainly would be scary if this happened to the good first person shooters. Of course, after CO, most people now better than to piss FPS-players off.;-)
Why the hell wold you want to restrict access? Everyone in the US - no, everyone on the PLANET - should be able to access this.

Sorry. It just sounded socialist, because it was advocating socialist ideas. Heh. This ain't no joke. This be an "lovin' fork" pointed in your general direction.

On behalf of all Slashdot readers, I wish you good luck, and I hope that you beat those a$$holes.

If you lose, I'll boycott Microsoft for eternity. And, if you win... I think I will anyway.
Please keep us updated!
I agree. I'm not going to let NetworkSolutions fuck me again.
I'm registering a domain name for my joke web site http://63.225.139.3
Does anybody have any good advice?
I agree with you, to a point, that old timers shouldn't be assholes, but there are important story submissions getting rejected.
/. did run a story about the virus.
/. question which wasn't so damn worthless.
I just put in one about the "I LOVE YOU" suspect, which is a natural, because
I also had a ask

This is interesting.
For years, I've been operating under the (apparently false) assumption that these "licenses" were not legally binding.
Oops.
In fact, I was under the impression that they had been *struck down* in court before, and found not binding. That they were just a scare tactic.
I'll have to start reading carefully, so that I don't become a towel boy in Bill Gateses' mansion/ fortress like Dilbert once did!

./ stories
It requires NO creative talent at all to make a list of things that are boring. Check out my list of "funny" boring things:
1) Installing Windows 2000
2) watching paint dry
3) reading many
4) playing SimScreensaver
Why don't you check out the GOOD articles and stories that languish in the queue? This was just pathetic.
I know that this will be moderated down, but it HAD to be said.

Sure they did it to cover their asses. But, they inadvertently gave us ownership and full rights to the comments.
Slashdot must have had really, really bad lawyers
