You get to play this COOL bonus quest before you can play the game. Neat, huh!? It's a feature! Pretty soon, all the game manufacturers will be doing it.
Don't ban them. Instead, replace the original with a edited copy that has a laugh track like those from the corniest sitcom mixed in with the audio. A few good goofy sound effects at strategic points in the video would go over well too.
I think that humiliating these turds is the way to go.
Picture this: some company, a laptop manufacturer, hears about Linux and decides that it wants to sell units with pre-installed Linux. It makes some changes to the process and cranks out(for example) 2000 units. Only 22 units sell.
The company could do a few things: they could allow the other 1078 to collect dust
Personally, I would be looking to find who stole the other 900 units. Probably find them listed on ebay.
Why would you want to get rid daylight savings time?
Because it is like cutting a foot off of one end of a blanket and sewing it on the other end and expecting to get a blanket that is a foot longer. Kind of dumb. If you want to get up when it is light, get up earlier. When should we all have to move the clock back and forth? Split the difference between DST and normal time and leave it. Who cares if the sun isn't overhead at exactly noon.
I hate being turned into a Microsoft apologist on this one, but give them a break. IE8 is still beta. Comparing release quality software to beta quality software is simply unfair.
Unfortunately, Microsoft software rarely achieves "release quality". Also, a beta version is still indicative of what the final version will be like. Instead of 171 threads, maybe the release version might only have 130 or so.
Mythbusters episode coming on! To prove their hypothesis, did they build a giant, field-sized electromagnet to show that the cows actually face magnetic north? No. Mythbusters to the rescue!
Seriously, don't these researchers have anything better to do?
What are you talking about? That is perfect timing. Didn't Vista development start at the about the same time Seinfeld went off the air? And the mere thought that Microsoft can polish the turd that is Vista is funnier than Seinfeld too.
HP is really terrible about this. I have a HP Pavilion tx1120 laptop with Vista (pre SP1) that used to come with XP. I bought it because I liked the way the pointing device worked and it was small. Vista was the only choice for the OS. I figured, erroneously, that if I didn't like Vista, I could just blow it away and put XP on it. After a couple of frustrating months messing around with it, I decided Vista was total crap and wanted to ditch it for XP. Ho0wever, when Vista came out, the XP drivers were suddenly not available. The worst is that there is no XP video driver for the Nvidia card. I looked all over for XP drivers and never found anything that I was convinced wouldn't leave me with a crippled computer. Complaining to HP did no good at all. Keep in mind that this same computer with the same hardware used to be available with XP pre-installed. I finally gave up and gave this POS to my girlfriend and bought something else.
Thanks HP. I love getting nothing for my money. I will never buy another HP product.
Slashdot Mirror
yes but free as in freedom not free as in beer.
Beer isn't free :(
Freedom isn't free either. There is a huge fuckin' fee.
Only the top 23 run Vista well.
How many teraflops does it take to run the uberflop?
Where is the pull string?
Not Very Good
Yes or no, has Steve Balmer stopped beating his wife?
Do flying chairs count?

Does no one there see a disconnect between these goals?
Square peg, round hole. What's the problem?
We're putting Ashley Simpson on the flight too. Still want to go?
Ashley Simpson, no.
Ashley Simpson and a gag ball, yes.
Does that make it "Talk Like an Anti-Pirate Day?"
Nah, that one is already taken. How about "Throw a chair like a Pirate day"?
It's different because you don't need to remember to turn it back on.
When I turn my phone off, I also don't have to remember to pay the $10 to $20 per month fee for this "service" either.
Seems like exactly the same as turning the phone off. I smell a patent!
geek to creep

Considering the crowd here on Slashdot, it should be called "Jack-a-lot".

Here is an example of how you take something that is already not very good and make it worse.

100% of the members of Congress won't give a shit unless there is a huge check attached to the letter you are planning to write.
actually, red and green are considered complementary colors [wikipedia.org] when used together.
Yeah, if you are two foot tall and work at the north pole making toys!
I think it would go over really well to say "My Friends" a lot. That makes everybody think you are telling them the truth.
