An employee suggested to me that we troll on a few Slashdot topics as an evaluation. I was skeptical at first but he explained the benefits of trolling on Slashdot instead of wanking off in a dark closet. I decided to let him troll in 5 topics to see how the trolling got on. Besides, our IT manager had been trolling Slashdot at home and he hadn't reported any problems - why not try it on with our employees?
Once he'd got the employees up and running with Slashdot trolling we let them try it out. It all seemed fine to start with: The Slashdot trolls were a pretty good replacement for trolling on yiffy/slash-porn forums like we'd used to before and the employees could still wank in their closets as normal.
Alas it did not stay that way. After a few days, I had lost count of the number of complaints received from slashbots. Posters got wise to the boilerplate. The final straw came when one poster modified our troll post to make fun of us, destroying the 70 pages of troll feeding we had been working on (subsequently, the poster was modded up.)
Needless to say, the Slashdot community, having been stagnant for half a decade, offered no support whatsoever. I made the employee go back to wanking in his dark closet and lets just say he's not with us anymore.
Why the heck do manufacturers insist upon these funky wafer-card proprietary batteries instead of giving us the standard 2 AA/AAA slots so I can use either regular batteries or commonly-available rechargeable NiMH-type batteries? Is it purely form-factor, or is it insidious planned obsolescence?
Since most people seem to take the stance that companies are justified in their evil ways because it "benefits the stockholders", thereby elevating capitalism to the status of a moral/religious system, we can just say that these web sites are an example of the finest capitalism, feel all warm and fuzzy, and go back to being exploited, sheep-like consumer drones.
The Patent Office is on a spree, trivia like prior art or significant (i.e., perceptible) innovation no longer apply. Now's your chance to patent the bra, you can go around fining women for violating your patent unless they remove it immediately.
It's called "read/write-many". You copy your digital medium as many times as you please, use it however you please, and best of all it is backward compatible with common hardware!
Playing themselves off as the "cheap alternative" is no longer a good idea, especially when their product is superior. In the distant past, I bought AMD because, yes, it was cheaper, but since K7 they do not represent a compromise, and with K8 they are superior.
For instance, not much good music being recorded nowadays. FIX IT! Yeah, buddy, I'm just gonna buy me a cheap Sears geetar, write up some songs, and FIX IT lickety split.
Nobody writes good books anymore. FIX IT! Sure, I'll just put all my possessions/house/children in hock, buy an old typewriter, starve for a few years, while the Great American Novel fails to materialize, I get divorced, lose everything, and end up working at Starbucks while the state attaches my wages.
Windows is teh sux0rz. FIX IT! Well, Linux is teh sux0rz too, and I would, having that kind of programming competency, but it takes a whole bunch of people on board to make such things happen, and my life is too short to re-envision and implement a decent OS by myself (with NO PAY). I'm a Lone Programmer, too, not some social shill who can lure all the hackers away from Linux.
Star Wars new episodes suck. FIX IT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....dumbass.
Just because we don't "fix it" ourselves doesn't de-legitimize our right to COMPLAIN ABOUT CRAP. And that includes you and your feculent opinions, sir.
It's just Windows XP Public Beta. Maybe you should just stick with tried-and-true NT 3.51? Maybe you received Win2K free at a convention back in the day and you don't want to pay for Windows?
It was cool to run Win2K originally because the unwashed proles were running Win9X, whereas Win2K was really NT and thus a "real" OS. Those days are long past. Try running Windows Server 2003 if you want geek cred.
Wow, you can just about tag anything as anti- terrorist or child molesting and it gets passed. I heard that terrorists hate prostitution, gambling, and cheap beer!
The national ID system is guaranteed to fail with this kind of ridiculous convergence. I mean, honestly, with Microsoft technology at the fore, the system will be as full of holes as, well, the rest of their software. Your liberty and anonymity will be safe, rest assured.
Being a Slashdot nerd, or getting all worked up about Slashdot nerds? Does that make you a meta-nerd? I'm pretty sure using the term "meta-nerd" makes me one.
What happens when your word processor refuses to wash your car? You buy/use software to accomplish a task, and if it doesn't do what you want, you either use something else or go without. Software that requires DRM does not accomplish what I want, any more than a car that requires me to insert quarters to keep it running.
In theory, the +++ should be spaced in time similar to someone pressing keys. A ping would obviously be too fast. My guess is that cheesy WinModem drivers written by underpaid programmer elves might have taken a shortcut, since timing the +++ might require something beyond their QuickBasic skills.
Note the increasing instances of popup ads that are tailored for firefox users etc.
With Firefox and Adblock, I guess I must have missed this exciting development.
I'm more worried about hydrogen hydroxide (HOH)

Hydroxide is an ingredient in many chemical compounds (-OH), many of which are poisonous. Hydrogen (H-) is the key component of some of the most powerful acids (H2SO4, HCl, H2NO3).
Dihydrogen oxide (H2O), however, is composed of environmentally friendly and healthful oxygen in conjunction with mostly harmless (H2) hydrogen (inflammable, but not poisonous).
That will be US$100,000.00 damages for stealing bread from the hard-working mouth of our deceased associate, Mr. George Beatle, with your flagrant piracy of his well-known lyrics.

I charge $60. Is this the outsourcing rate? Or am I just a greedy bastard?

That way you can spin the page around and exclaim "It's a Unix system!!" while your associates nod sagely at your precociousness.
