This is retarded! How can a stupid teenager manage to figure out the Internet enough to find Slashdot and stuff comment pages with his equally retarded, completely asinine, drivel!
Yes. If that's how it needs to be done, that's how it'll be done. The benefits of turning it 100% digital far outweigh the costs of doing such.
It's good that they're speeding this up and staying hard on it. If they don't, we'll just keep saying "give it a little more time, give it a little more time," until Kingdom come.
Bah. I hate AOL's spam filters. Usually they end up filtering out more useful mail than spam.
I do volunteer tech support for a LiveJournal-based website...and people are always saying that they aren't getting their verification or comment notification e-mails. And they're always, always using AOL. The standard reply is to tell them to check their filters, and use a different provider.
Summary: AOL finds yet another way to corrupt the internet, and computing in general.
I think it's an allusion to the post about Real Audio's birthday. There were too many comments to count that said something, but then appeared to be cut off, closing with "Buffering...".

Come on, we don't have to take it seriously.

Completely so. I'm using XP SP2, and I've changed everything to look like classic 9x: folders, taskbar, menus, start menu; the works.
On XP it's "Turn off computer." On Longhorn, it's actually "Shut Do..."
There's a screenshot of this in the above comment.
I swear I'm going to do that when I get Longhorn. I already have The Internationale in six languages, and a sickle and hammer.
Has anyone else questioned why, exactly, this story is on hardware.slashdot.org?

I'm afraid you suck.

He speaks the truth.
Rather, his sarcasm speaks the truth.

Doesn't Dell make the Macintosh?
(That's a great modding on the parent comment there)
Mod parent up, up, and away.

I'm afraid I really must agree with you subject line.
When Microsoft gets a hold of this...we are fucked, screwed, and finished.

Yes, I know we love open-source. I do, too. But, sometimes you have to face facts.
See what I mean?
Why are the Slashdot mods not capable of simply deleting comments? Is this one of those "tolerance" things whatfor we cannot delete the comments?

Slashdot mods are idiots? I would be surprised, if anyone else was surprised about that modding.
What may be really sad is that you are posting this in an attempt to escape this so called "curse."
Not if doing so denies me any of my rights.
That being, your "right" to steal copyrighted material, I assume?
