I wonder when the people who are so immensely annoyed by dupes will just stop going to slashdot. It doesn't seem likely - it's still/. and complaining's fun anyway.
But still...the incessant noise about it can get irritating.
I think that title is misleading. It's like saying that "Gang Member Exchanges Fire With Police" when all he did was unload a clip of ammo into his foot.
Why not just replace Windows with AOL? I can just imagine the friendly pastel colors decorating every surface of my screen...and the startup sound..."You've Got Windows!"
Information flow cannot propogate at faster than the speed of light, or causality is violated and we have (dead virgins/future grandfathers) all over the place.
How long has/. been around, now? 8 years? I'm pretty sure there've been some dead virgins by now.
So the buzz around the web on that Optimus keyboard we posted up a couple of days ago has been intense. A recent interview with Artemy Lebedev, founder and director of the Russian design firm working on the keyboard, sheds some light on the future of this device: they envision is as an "open source" keyboard, with an SDK and a "keyboard studio" application that lets users customize the keyboard any way they choose (sweeeet!). The company is currently negotiating with several different manufacturers to get the Optimus into production, and they're hoping to see it getting into our hot little hands in about a year for "[no] less than $200 to $300."
The show seems cheesy for the first few minutes, then you really get into it. You end up loving the style, the characters, and the story. It's the best TV show I've watched, bar none.
It's interesting that you were modded up, because you don't really support your argument. You seem to draw a parallel between the man installing a network and a programmer. But where the network man is imposing order on something that already exists. The programmer is creating the mess of wires and terminals. Furthermore, you define the cable man as an artist...who paradoxically does not create art. Unfortunately, again, it comes down to your definition of art. Or maybe science...
I don't consider myeslf to be a programmer or an artist, but it seems to me that science is more exploratory than productive. The scientific method involves gathering data, developing a hypothesis, testing that hypothesis, and developing a conclusion (I know there are seven steps, but I can't quite recall all of them), steps which are more in the sphere of knowledge than creation. There is no "best" way to do anything in programming. Even if the optimal code for a simple action is found, there is no "best way" for the program as a whole. Programming *languages* are a lot like their namesakes: there are plenty of them, and each is better for expressing different things.
To wrap it all up, I guess all I'm saying is: To me, anything beautiful is art, anything exploratory is science, and any combination thereof can still be considered art.

If I were this guy, instead of posting the directions on the blog, I'd be making little kits to sell on E-bay or something.
you weren't one of the guys moaning about how Roland Piquaville makes money out of slashdot, were you?

This is just begging for a caption.

And is DDR so terribly unpopular these days, being so tiring?

The horror...
Is your Mac Mini sig still valid...?
I want one so I can sell it as a limited edition antique in the years to come...
My econ teacher calls infinitely renewable resources like this "Gifts of Nature". Now, I'm not so sure...
Eh. There were no more tuna anyway.
Did anyone else read that as "Trading Card Game"?
I can think of a few, and they're a goddamned hassle on the battlefield:
1. Plasma rifles
2. Plasma pistols
3. Energy swords
Thankfully there have been some improvements with Needlers, but they're not exactly my weapon of choice.

I watched Million Dollar Baby on my trip to Beijing.
FOUR TIMES.
At the end, I wanted to make the pilot eat the dvd. Believe me, it would have hurt.
Are you related to someone named...what was it...Oh yes. Steve? Steve Ballmer?

Hey, he's not as bad as the guys complaining about their scrotal temperatures... Absolutely indecent!
Dell, Gateway, and HP's calculations all indicate that this really is the only solution to spyware:

That is EXACTLY what happened to me.

Haha, "coining" phrases! Haw haw! God, I'm sorry, it's 4:45AM...
