Maybe you should have actually, ya know, read some things. The book is being released under Creative Commons and she's putting up a site to distribute it. But since you just want mod points for being a smartass...carry on
That's a bit different. In boxing the judges aren't deciding if the last triple backflip loop-de-loo was pretty enough, they're basically counting head shots. Subtle but important difference.
I started looking at the comments before watching the video and every other one was putting this guy down and calling him a douche-$(insertwordhere). After watching the video, it appears that half of Slashdot has no appreciation for feeding the inner geek, and is just pissed off that this guy had live females stop and actually talk to him.
Actually, all scripture references from Jesus and the apostles came from the septuagint. That would be the Greek translation of the Old Testament. Now that I think about it, it confirms your point of his bi-lingualness even more.
I wish I had mod points today. Finally a rational post in a sea of confused and uneducated crap. Unfortunately this is Slashdot, where every post regarding God must be read at -1 to see anything rational, so your post will sit at the bottom of the heap.
I think even more interesting is what happens when that third tire has a blowout. In a traditional car you still have three good tires and descent handling to make it to the side of the road. In this POS, you just smacked 25 thousand dollars hard into the pavement at high speed. Congrats!
You sir are a real badass. Keep it up buddy. You'll learn better when some 11 year old's very large and very angry father plants their equally large boot in you geeky little ass. Something tells me there will be just as much, if not more of an ovation and applause for one of you stuck up pricks getting the crap kicked out of em.
Since I've been a Texan sice birth, I kinda have to call bullshit here. The 25 question test will get you a learner's permit. That's it. There's an additional 75 or so question test, in which you have to score 80%, as well as a driving test.
That's easy. When you can fit me, my wife, three daughters including car seats, and all the luggage needed for our 4 times a year trip from San Antonio to Fort Worth and back in your little Escort we'll talk. Till then I'll happily burn an extra couple dollars in gas.
Troll, FUD, Flamebait, wow guys get some original material or shut up already. I didn't find anything directly on update.microsoft.com but a very quick google search will show you just how "secure" Microsoft keeps their own shit.
Wow, you got (Score:3, Insightful) for smugly saying "Link please?"? Here's a link for ya Google. Learn to look things up for yourself instead of acting like a smug bastard when someone points out the obvious.
Why, exactly? The last three machines I've been through I have built the machine, yanked the drive out of my old machine, and booted it up in the new one. No problems. Yes, I use BSD and Linux. If this is a problem when doing it with Windows, well then, learn not to buy shit software.
You might not have. Some of us have. My wife has a Vista machine. Just this past weekend she started to play a video file (Little Mermaid if you must know) for the kids. This file worked perfectly on XP but failed miserably on Vista. I copied it to my FreeBSD box and played it just fine. The most ironic part of this little adventure in software failure....it was a wmv file.
Wow, so excited to jump out and start bashing on the GIMP that you didn't even bother to read the review. It clearly says "for amateur photographers" as an alternative to photoshop which costs an arm, leg, and both testicles, and doesn't run on anything but the crappiest of platforms. Reading comprehension is one of those magical things most of us picked up around the fourth grade. You should really work on that yourself and see how far it takes you.
You forgot the best one of all. A few months back there was a story right here on slashdot about cops using a taser on a 7 year old boy who was cutting himself with a piece of broken glass. Of course manual restraint might not have worked, the cops only had about 200+ pounds each on the seven year old.
Aye, occasionally an AC does post something worthy after all. I have really had it as well with the "It's not GPL, so it's not really open source" nonsense. The fact that the source is now free for me to pull down and hack on as I please is good enough. If I decide to make a commercial venture with the changes I've made, I see no problem with paying back royalties on the hard work that others put into the OS to begin with.
You may speak for a large group of self serving wannabe intellectuals on slashdot, but by no means do you speak for "the rest of us."

If only I had mod points. It amazes me how such "common logic" falls apart when you get to the point of what actually caused these explosions, yet religion is just thrown out off hand.
Surely it can be distributed as GPL2 if it's dual licensed. That's not an issue, but only the author of the software has the right to strip the attribution lines from the code. That violates the BSD license and more importantly, is just a morally bankrupt path to take.

I think you were looking for "ex nihilo" there.
Pics or it didn't happen!
You obviously don't watch boxing. A landed punch is a landed punch. They don't give extra points for style.

Well at least you're an open and forthright troll.

There are many more but I'm not really in the mood for doing other folks homework for them.

Mozilla Dev1: OMFG, we haven't been mentioned on the front page of slashdot in like 20 minutes or something!
Mozilla Dev2: No problem. We'll just release yet another pointless sub-sub-sub-sub-sub version.
Me: (looking at yet another firefox recompile from FreeBSD ports) Screw it, I'm going back to seamonkey.
Yep still 2GB of spam and maybe 3 real messages. Yeah your filters are teh roxxor Google. Jeez
