Whoa really? So even before Einstein, mass was proportional to energy? That really takes him down a few notches in my estimation.
Well, at least I can still look up to Newton for giving us the gift of gravity.
I think it's time to start sterilizing people
You do understand that charles darwin was the guy who noticed evolution. I think maybe you're thinking of Hitler.
hehe
What color will the Infocon be then? Green, because millions of worms and trojans would be stopped dead. The internet might speed up considerably, unless lots of major infrastructure is running Windows....
A user is desperate to get his 15 mins by getting his story on the front page. He has tried and failed. A lot. So, he waits for a story to pass that won't be too high profile, and researches it, sticks with it for a while, looking for something different to say about it.
Then he either waits a month or two, or submits it when he thinks a different editor will see it.
Slashdot has a vulnerability. People are abusing it. Get over it.
Of course there are more attacks against linux than against SCO Unix. I'd imagine there are somewhere around, 300 to 400 trillion more instances of linux running than instances of SCO Unix. So it's not strange that there are more attacks against them
I refer you to 50,000,000,000 comments about how install base is not the factor, security is. We laugh in the face of microsoft for using this argument. Consequentially, we don't get to use it.
Doesn't matter though. Look where he gets his stats from
Recently I've been chafing under the limitations of mini-DV tapes
Listen, there's no point blaming the side-effects of your little "habit" on your choice of storage medium (it's for your "conventions"... suuuure). All you have to do is throw a little vaseline or baby-oil in there and you'll be back "on the road" in no time.
maybe a useful suggesting for you then: what i do in windows is to do as much as possible in firefox - ftp client extension etc. i once even put a big text box onto my website to use as a text editor in windows (some php to save it on the server).
sure is nice to hear "i agree" after posting on/. I suppose it's to be expected after praising linux!
The way he talks about linux - shitting on its user friendliness and recompiling the kernel (I've been using fucking SLACKWARE for years without needing to this once), makes me think he tried to migrate once but he couldn't get used to the change. I know I've personally tried to convince myself to go back to windows a few times, but in my case it never works (for reasons see above +5 Insightfuls). If you read around forums, read letters sent to magazines etc, you see this same old story all too often - I tried it, my stuff didnt Plug-and-Play, thank you goodnight.
Either that or he's being paid by MS... in fact never mind all that other stuff...
I see a review on the main page that I like the look of. I click Read More. I am taken to a second site, with slightly more of the review, and yet another Read More link. Whose idea was that?
I may check in in a few months time to see if they have fixed this, but it is highly likely that I will forget. One less person to see their bizarre google ads.
So then, the superpower doesn't like the comparative "bazaar" system that the UN employs. You say it can't possibly be decisive enough? I suppose that when that many people (ie. the whole world) have access to a system, anyone can find a way to take advantage. In fact I agree, I'd much rather leave this product in the hands of Micros... I mean, er, America, safe in the hands of a notoriously fair and just corpor... I mean, country.
This seems as much like "theft" as piracy does. I would say that it doesn't fall under theft, but something along the lines of illegal access, unauthorised access, etc. Definitely illegal, definitely wrong. I am not defending any of this, but I am getting sick of people comparing every new cybercrime to "theft". It's time for average Joe to be given a chance to understand these important new concepts for real.
I'm guessing that last "From the article" bit is the update to more accurately discuss the story, right? I dread to think what was there before. What the hell is going on here? Personally I've noticed a huge drop in quality lately, and have been visiting this site less and less.
Slashdot Mirror
what's that, at least 4 people repling with "You Forgot:"
hehehe, cool

So what was E equal to in 1904?
½mv^2

Total world population : 6,446,131,400
% who are 6000 Americans: 0.000009307908
% who aren't : Enough
Not that it's a worldwide decision or anything. I just thought I could push the idea that perhaps the internet was bigger than American politics.
If firefox, at 8% of the total users, loses 0.64% of the total, that makes a total loss of 8% of all firefox users.
It's just like looking into infinity, except without the headaches!

Green, because millions of worms and trojans would be stopped dead. The internet might speed up considerably, unless lots of major infrastructure is running Windows....
....either that or a totally sad nerd. because that is exactly what i thought when i read that story. hehe
also - how did you break slashdot's code that forces domain display? is it just me and my browser?

9 out of 10 top trolls recommend James McGuigan as a good person to have reply to your inflammatory posts

the words theft and stealing were ominously absent from the article. this makes capicu happy.
meaning decapitalise the word Intel
I think Microsoft may be getting more beta testers than hoped. All the torrents are hugely busy (the ones that aren't down).

In an unrelated story, General Motors has recently released a study proving that walking sucks even more than it used to.
