Firefox 3 was crashing 3-10 times a day for me even after completely removing everything FF related. At the risk of jinxing myself I will say that I'm crash free on 3.0.1 for 4 hours now.
Time to pull the ethernet cable out. Would someone like to send me the slashdot articles via USPS? There aren't any potential problems with that solution are there? Wait...please send anthrax free too.
I'm not trying to say this to be a stuck up American, but I wonder how much internet content Americans import vs. export. Maybe this is how we could fix the foreign trade deficit. Start putting a tariff on information.
then I think I deserve to not have the internet or any other form of communication/social interaction. Their older music is good but have they made any music worth downloading in the last 10-15 years?
I would like to patent a process involving inserting one's index finger into one's own nose in order to remove excess debris and enhance breathing. Anyone know any good (free as in beer) patent lawyers.
The reason many good IT people choose IT as a profession is because they are passionate about it. Not because they can't do anything else or that they are worried about their jobs being outsourced. Brooks mentions 1) Joy of making things. 2) Having other use things that we make and finding them useful. 3) Fascination of complex puzzle like objects. 4) Flexible Media (Making things out of thin air). IT people haven't changed that much since 1975, perhaps our classification of IT people has changed though.

please don't call Stephanie Lee a geek. Sure, she's majoring in information technology and marketing... doesn't write code, she isn't gadget-crazed or Internet-obsessed, and she positively isn't interested in a career as a programmer or tech support jockey.../FTA
Stephanie is a marketing major that also managed to get an IS degree by drifting through some very basic programming and software design classes. I don't know Stephanie, but I would say she is not what I would call an IT person. She might be able to understand problems and survey others for solutions, perhaps even think of potential solutions but i doubt that she has any ability to implement them.
I'd like to rant more about the differences between users of technology and people actually passionate about it but i'd rather be coding.
Wow, 10 years ago IE4 was passing Netscape, Google wasn't in every 4th article, and people were talking about how Linux was the best OS. The more things change the more they stay the same.
Slashdot Mirror
If it were more recent they probably would have been backed up on wikileaks.
If I were them I would be careful letting people know they are using multiple data sources, I heard its patented. http://techdirt.com/articles/20090831/0308556054.shtml
i think just windows key and start typing because it will execute from the Vista Search bar.
Google's stock price is about the same now as it was 10/9/2006, so was it really overhyped and overinflated at the time as such?
I got a bailout on Dominos pizza yesterday... Tums is profiting.

Looks to me like "technology reshaping classrooms" hasn't progressed much past Number Munchers.
ehm, assistant to the tech support manager
I think they wanted to launch it preloaded with music from GNR's Chinese Democracy.
You have 6 friends that have and use homemade PVRs? I'm a little jealous it must be a constant LAN party at your place.

They look so goddamn like the same person. They are twins, that is why. I would say to them "Do you want ice cream cone?" Both of them say yes!

From the RSS feed, I thought this was lifehacker for a minute.
I can't even believe they need to "hack" Leopard, I figured it "just worked"
