We got a bill from AT&T for long-distance service on our landline that we haven't used in years, since we get long-distance minutes included in our cellphone plans. So after we call up AT&T to ask what's up and cancel the service, they send us a check for $0.03. How efficient.
Keep in mind, though, that we will always end up with better hardware. This alleged Windows bulk may or may not outrun Moore's Law - only time will tell. My own school (UVA), however, is starting to head up nanotech research. If quantum computing ends up working, it may or may not form a singularity of computing power in itself. But once again - only time will tell.
Others have suggested Tor, but anyone familiar with your posting habits knows how you prefer nothing short of installing an entirely new operating system as a solution.:)
twitter, you're in luck. I remember seeing a story on Slashdot about an OS that uses services like Tor for this sort of thing. But if there's anything Roland Piquepalle has taught us, it's that people don't like being linked to a link. So here's the SourceForge page itself. HTH.
Indeed. I tried to post a comment a minute ago and Slashdot told me my IP had been banned, and I hadn't been downmodded in days. So I reconnected myself to the campus network in the hopes that the DHCP server would give me a new address. Fortunately it did (different subnet too).
That got me thinking - if there are people who find trolling so important to them that they make a website out of it, then they've probably considered attacking Digg. So I went to their site, and did a forum search for "Digg". Lo and behold, the first item on the results was this. I'll let the rest of you figure out what to make of it.
Once again, you fail to address any of my points and post such an intellectually troglodytic phrase such as "the joke is all on you". I can assume you don't have any way to defend against them. I win.
I was hoping you'd do something like this sometime! Now I get a chance to make a most sorry attempt to justify my posting habits!
kept me away from Windoze[sic] programming since the early 95 API.
Thank you! You just confirmed the point I made in the link!
Calling me a Sith!
I'd say "you must be new here", but you might not get that facet of Slashdot subculture, either.
Calling me a troll again.
I did make a bit of a mistake on that one, but I try to right my wrong in your next link. Perhaps seeing the whole thread will help you notice that
Hey, you love me after all.
Two more things about that link:
I actually admit when I am wrong rather than scamper off into the shadows like a beaten dog. I realized that I was wrong and apologized. You could learn from this, rather than coming up with useless posts like "I'm laughing at you, dedazo" or completely ignoring the point of your detractors and spreading more citation-free FUD propaganda.
I'm surprised you could be raising a four-year-old girl and never have heard of positive feedback. That's right. I was congratulating you for doing things the right way, rather than ignoring you and only saying "don't...don't...bad boy, go to your room".
At least we agree that Windoze blows blue screens.
It was a poor attempt at satire. But I should have expected that you would agree with it literally. You were the object of the satire, after all.
Oh, and since you like links so much, I thought I'd leave you with an analysis some of your own. However, I have neither the time nor patience to go through them all myself, but fortunately two posters have done it for me.
Am I the only one who remembers in Dilbert when a competitor is offering broadband over the power grid, and the boss assigns Wally to develop broadband over the sewer system?
Have you seen the epic flamewars regarding the credibility of 9/11 Loose Change fought here? TripMaster Monkey may be on my Friends list, but any post he makes about terrorism I'll take with an enormous grain of salt.
Be sure to word your presentation in a way that they feel they will benefit. Show them what increased weight in your job can offer them, rather than explaining what you want.
Better yet, apply this to other aspects in your life. Everything will be much more successful.
I got the reference and everything, but it's a little unrealistic. Two things:
Cost. IANANFE, but if I remember correctly, it costs upwards of $20000/kg to launch something into space.
Space junk. Since it's so costly to even get it up there, you can forget about sending it out of orbit, and it's getting quite cluttered up there already.
Then how, might I ask, is it that the rest of us don't have to reboot sixteen times to install XP?
The Ubuntu install I am helping someone with, worked out a lot easier.
I think you are just more proficient with Linux than you are with Windows. There's nothing wrong with that, but just don't assume you know better than everyone else when your skills are in a different field. Only the Sith deal in such absolutes.

I was ready to explode with laughter until I realized what it really said. Dammit.

I am a sockuppet of Macthorpe, who is himself a sockuppet of jbl, who is himself a sockpuppet of KeithRussel.
And I'm just this guy, you know?
Not only that, it was Laocoon who said "Whatever it is, I fear Greeks bearing gifts."
I'm not sure posting a link to your MySpace was such a good idea. Then again, maybe I'm just getting paranoid over this Assassins game in my dorm.
Wow. Two in a row. That shows true devotion. Please tell me again who's spending all their time stalking people?

I'd link to a few fine moments in your posting history, but I don't have the time. So instead, I'll post links to some folks who already did:
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=137420&cid=11

You probably will be going through my history now. Oh wait - you already have.

What if she wants to install Windows? As she gets older, any computer classes she takes will quite likely be using that OS.

Well, TMM, you've had a little over 22 hours - did it work?
If we don't hear from you we'll assume you actually did try it and got arrested.

Core Duo, Core Solo. What are we going to call this one? nVidia is already using the name Quadro.
I'm getting a strange feeling that I've read this before...

And you're not only a slashdotter but an editor??? Help! My world's turned upside-down!
What i found interesting was that Belkin's card seems to connect better to D-Link's router than to its own.
Good job, twitter. You have successfully cited your claims. Please do this more often.
As for the shared source initiative, I must have been in a hole for a while. I apologize for any trouble my uninformation about it may have caused.
