I would just like to say that seeing articles like this one... well, it doesn't help speed up the recovery process. It's like leading an alcoholic to the door of a bar.

No, I didn't rtfa, but I'll put my 2 cents in anyway. Of course we need weapons in space. Wherever man travels he needs to bring with him the ability to kill in advanced ways doesn't he? I mean, don't we? That's what we do, right?
NO, this isn't going to happen anytime soon. My wife just asked me why someone would want to mix cleaning products and computing, so what do you think ole PHB is gonna say?
Or Open Source similar to blogging? I just saw that and my vision went blurry...
Blogs are just web pages that people update everyday or so... WTF!? BLOG!? I hate that word. It's just stupid.

Legitimacy Le*git"i*ma*cy (-i^*m.a*sy^), n. See
Legitimate, a.
The state, or quality, of being legitimate, or in conformity
with law; hence, the condition of having been lawfully
begotten, or born in wedlock.
1913 Webster
The doctrine of Divine Right, which has now come back
to us, like a thief from transportation, under the
alias of Legitimacy. --Macaulay.
1913 Webster
Strictly by definition of "legitimate", doesn't it appear that even though we all may not agree with software patents, they are in fact a legitimate business model ? Or does it depend upon your definition of the word legitimate?
While I appreciate college football as much as the next person, you do realize that we are a total anomoly on Slashdot right? Sports don't exist in this realm. As a matter of fact these posts just ripped a hole in the space time continuwhateverabob...
I was feeling sick
I was loosing my mind
I heard about these treatments
From a good friend of mine
He was always happy
Smile on his face
He said he had a great time at the place.
Gimme gimme shock treatment.
Peace and love is here to stay
And now I can wake up and face the day
Happy happy happy all the time
Shock treatment, I'm doing fine.

I have never met anyone who straight up bought something through an unsolicited phone call. This is one of the most broken business models and yet we continue to hear from brain dead companies concerning the do not call list and how some facet of this is unfair for them. I don't get it.
Now bear in mind that the following statement is just from my memory of *my* perception of the situation at the time. I remember when I was using Windows 3.11 that I hated it. It was the buggiest crap ever. The blue screen was a constant menace. I had read here and there in the popular press that 0s/2 was going to be great and that it would be way more stable. But then Microsoft announced win95 and it seemed like the uncertainty about os/2 drifted into my mind as the usual press announcements from MS continued to hit the stands. So I waited for Win95. What a dissapointment. And I thought XP was a joke. Now I run linux and don't believe anything Microsoft says. I know this is overgeneralized but hey I just can't help but notice the similiarity between M$ statements now with linux in their neighborhood and M$ statements when os/2 was in their vacinity.
This move is right in line with Mick Jones. One of the founding members of The Clash. Back in the 70's when The Clash was young they had the song "Complete Control" which was all about the artist retaining all forms of control regarding their art. It was aimed right at their label IIRC. I always did like the forward thinking of that band and am glad to see one of the surving members still at it. I wish them success. Keep on rocking in the free world mates.
Am I the only one confused as to why M$ would call the gathering Gnomedex? I though it was going to have something to do with the Gnome desktop and M$ for second. Wierd.
No. I do believe it. Corporate greed has added some value true, but mostly big corporations brought the greed that spurs zombie networks, spam, malware and all manner of junk we have to be aware of now. The average housewife user you mentioned are the very ones being afflicted the most by adware, malware, spam, and all manner of phishing techniques rampant in the nwo of the net. Just because I am geeky enough to be free of these things doesn't mean an average user is. If they were then would we have zombie networks? Phishing? Malware? Spyware? Not to the extent we have now. No. I do believe corporations have marred the internet. I would say that someone who has been phished or had their pc infested with crap would agree with me that the bad outweighs the good.

and Hollywood is seeing the ugly truth. When will the music industry face up to the simple truth?
Pair this story with the little quote of the day "It's better to burn out than to fade away." Coincidence?
I'm deaf and would be using sign language you insensitive clod!
For sick humor that I can't even begin. This can't be real can it? For instance- you honestly could have the last say to any passersby.

as it is a free advertisement/coming out party for some product they are testing and hoping to bring to market. Nothing to see here, move along.
So I wonder what it would feel like to return to Earth after that long in low gravity. Would it be very uncomfortable?

Asking Microsoft how it feels about Linux? Isn't that like asking Castro how he feels about Florida? or something...

It seems like only 14 years ago I was reading this same type of blather in one of the trade magazines. "The network si the computer..." Blah blah.
I read that and at first glance thought it was a typo. But it's true that you don't see that word much. "It is a fount and or plethora of ..."

Because you asked: The "hot grits" and Natalie Portman goes back a little ways on /.
It's an old troll and here is a wikipedia link explaining it better than I could. Have fun reading all about weird fetishes. :)
