I want to add to the above that I don't care about being able to turn ads off. You can still show me your ads if I subscribe. But what is listed above is what I would pay for. Paying to turn off ads holds no value for me. In fact, it somewhat detracts from the value as I sometimes see an ad on Slashdot that leads me to something useful.

Too bad that there's no place to lock these people up since all our prison space is taken up with tough, career criminals like pot-smokers and ecstasy users.
That's right, they wouldn't be complaining, because how much would 270,000 installs of RedHat cost? $89.95, that's how much.
Wrong. The original poster said "to purchase 270,000" copies of Red Hat. Red Hat Linux 7.2 costs $59.95 on their online store. That's $16,186,500 to purchase 270,000 copies. Of course, they could use just one copy, but that's not what the poster was talking about.
Apache::ASP provides an Active Server Pages port to the Apache Web Server with Perl scripting only
Then it's not very useful. Apache::ASP only implements the ASP framework. The majority of ASP scripts written are in VBScript. If Apache::ASP only supports Perl then you're going to have to port all of your legacy VBScript based ASP pages to Perl. You might as well rewrite them in PHP or C at that point.
When people ask if it supports ASP, they usually mean, does it execute ASP pages that contain code in VBScript or Microsoft's JScript.
Our systems here only have 128MB of RAM. I discovered last week that isn't even enough to run Windows 2000 on; I wanted to defrag the disk fully so I removed all paging
spaces. I couldn't even open the defragger before it complained about being out of virtual memeory.
Strange. I run a 400Mhz machine with 128MB of RAM at work. It runs fine with Outlook 98, SecureCRT, Netscape, IE, Winamp, Vim open all at the same time. Maybe you need to reinstall from scratch.
The Post Office isn't some holy place, it's barely connected with the government, and hasn't received any tax dollars since Nixon. It's basically a private organization.
Whether it has received any tax dollars or not is irrelevant. It's part of the government. Did you notice their domain was usps.gov? Did you know that it is illegal to attempt to compete against the USPS with mail delivery under the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 39, Chapter 1, Sec. 310.2, paragraph (a)? Those regulations are only suspended for mail that is considered "urgent" and "critial" but only if it's being delivered more than 50 miles away from where it's sent. In those cases, companies can compete but they are required by law to charge more than the USPS would, even if the USPS can do it cheaper. Read about it in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 39, Chapter 1, Sec. 320.6, paragraph (c). Did you know that the Postal Service is exempt from property taxes? They are exempt from parking tickets as well. They even have their own law enforcement branch with badges and guns.
Have you linux guys even given Windows XP a fair shot?
I sure have! It was riddled with cryptic, eight character-long filenames with three character extensions. I was wondering what Windows package some of these files might belong to but I couldn't find a way to discover that. I know on my Red Hat system I can just type rpm-qif<filename>. I searched in vain on the net and in the online Windows help system for an equivilent Windows command.
Also, I couldn't find the source code to ntoskrnl.exe. Nor the C compiler, for that matter. How am I supposed to use the system to solve problems if I can't compile and install software on my system? How do developers write and compile any code?
A Unix machine without a C compiler? Can you name a few popular systems that have this problem?
Sure. None of the SGI machines that I have purchased or used came with C compilers, or any compilers of any sort. For the ones that did need compilers, we had to purchase it from SGI.
This is not a stable kernel, as there is no development tree to iron out all the bugs.
Well, I disagree with you there. The way things have always been done, and the way we tell people that they are done is that x.<even#>.x is a stable kernel and x.<odd#>.x is a development kernel. Once you make that second number even, then it's interpreted by the whole community as stable, whether there's a development kernel or not, because that's what we've been taught and that's the way Linus has always done it. Continuing to put new features into the 2.4 tree rather than opening up 2.5 has led us to this unfortunate position. Hopefilly, in the future, the development tree will open as soon as the next major stable release is made and we can avoid things like this.
does anyone know of a proxy that allows you to rewrite packets on the fly? I think the web's
got to the point where I want to start overriding some HTML arbitrarily. I know regular expressions, so some sort of regex interpreter
would be quite handy.
I use FilterProxy for exactly this purpose. From the docs:
FilterProxy is a Perl script that acts as a generic Web proxy. It is unique in that it
allows you to install modules that can perform arbitrary transformations on HTML (or any
other MIME-type) and HTTP headers. It filters ads by stripping HTML from the page,
anonymizes requests by removing Referer and User-Agent headers, compresses HTML
content, and de-animates animated gifs. Configuration is done via Web-based forms or
editing a Perl data structure.
I'm really glad this is happening. I've always hated the concept of windows and having to constantly shuffle the windows around. I miss the days of my Amiga where we had "screens" that we could flip through and even drag down to peek at the one behind.
The closest I can get to that now is to use MS Windows and to maximize every window that I can. it's close enough and at least that way all of my pull down menus are in the same place even if they aren't right at the top where they should be because the title bar is in the way. The Mac puts the menus in the right place, but Mac apps are more obsessed with using lots of windows than MS Windows. I know I can maximize them, but at least with MS Windows, I can save that setting in the icon. Not all Mac apps remember the window settings.
If I can figure out how to make every app's window to maximize under KDE without having to explicitly push the maximize button, then I'd be more inclined to make the switch to Linux for all my work.

- Spell check the articles even if you didn't write it.
- Use proper grammar.
- Make edits if the submitter mispells something, has poor grammar, or screws up the links.
- Make sure the links go to the right place.
- Remove unnecessary links. We don't need to link to CNN's home page every time we write the letters "CNN." Just link to the article or issue at hand.
- Before accepting an article, search your own damn site to ensure that it's not something you've approved to post before.
Do all of this and you'll have my money.Christ! Which link is the real story?
just use the login: slashdotted/slashdotted
