I believe pudge (Chris Nandor, http://sourceforge.net/users/pudge/) is one of the Slashdot programmers (if you look in the slash CVS you can see he has commit access). As for why he was removed, your guess is as good as mine.
I'm relatively new and I'd say I've received mod points 5-6 times in the past month. I just yesterday earned the ability to meta-moderate, but I've been moderating for about a month or so. Perhaps the slashcode has gone berserk due to the planets lining up or something?
You mean... You mean I could combine one of my favorite pastimes with the practical use of actually being able to open the door that way? Technology sure is swell...
Do F/OSS developers really want to set a precedent for stooping to the level of copyright infringers? It's much better for the image of PearPC and open source development in general if we get a lawyer to fight the clear-cut cases for us. The GPL and a lawyer should do the work here, not trickery and underhandedness.
Rarely are two products combined like that without mucking one of them up. Besides, independent devices can be replaced at different times, are specialized for what they do, and the batteries last longer.
Have you considered compiling Apache yourself now that you have all of the dependencies installed? Even if there are a few more, you'll still have far fewer to handle than if you started without using Urpmi.
Another thing to note, Fedora's yum is pretty competent as far as I've found, and you can always install apt-get on top of that.
Nope, do you realize how many employees gambling it takes to lose all of the taxpayer money? They get billions in each year, they need to do something with it! Although I guess that whatever money they spend on gambling they get part of back when taxes come due... Damn them, even when they lose they win!
So give it a delay period before it actually does anything, giving it a little bit of time to (nicely) propogate before fixing things. These machines have been filled with viruses for so long, a little while longer isn't going to hurt anything.
Not to mention the sizeable hordes of angry filesharers standing on your doorstep, pitchforks in hand. But I guess you would never have to pay to heat your house, so it's win-win!
Don't say stuff like that, next thing you know, we'll have duplicates of the exact same article from hundreds of different websites. Can you imagine the chaos?
Parent has a point, if $32,000,000 can't be saved by the public, how can we expect to hit the $2,000,000,000 to save Hubble? Of course, there are scientists with a lot more money than Star Trek fans, but to get them all to donate would be a feat in and of itself.
No, both your paper and the Dilbert site operate in what is known as the "mysterious future." Therefore, what you see in the newspaper hasn't happened yet, which means you should go around saving people according to it's prophecies, and then vanish from television shortly thereafter due to lack of viewers. Your cat does deliver the paper, right?
Always a great comic, Real Life. If you haven't taken a look at his first book, it might be worth it to pick up a copy. It's awesome to have all of the first year in crisp paper form, and the commentary sweetens the deal.

Shall we begin playing a sad song with the world's smallest chamber orchestra?

That's a pretty cool idea, I'd never really thought of that before. Damn you and your prior art...
Excellent idea! You could also try running text-to-speech on the comments in random /. articles and recording that to mp3!
Yes, you are watching them incorrectly. The best way to watch them is drunk and with a few of your buddies.

Considering the book, I think "IANAL" might be the most appropriate ship name.
Is this replacing the missing "breasts" option in the latest poll?

My IRC experiences make me wary of clicking on any link to "bearcave.com," no matter how intelligent the rest of your post may be.
Underwater basket weaving would also make a nice complement.
If electromagnetic fields are a health risk, we're in big trouble. The Earth has one. A big one.

So create your own proxy POP3 server that you can connect to unsecured, but connects with GMail securely.
Ugh, shouldn't watching porn be more of an err... private thing? (pardon the pun)
Gah, somebody rate this -1, disturbing. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go wash my eyes out with soap.
