I've heard that 3000 times and it just keeps getting funnier.
Seriously, can we get a Slashdot committee together to add "Old Ass Joke" to the mod system? And, maybe form a sub-committee to come up with some alternative jokes for those who think they are funny, but really are only capable of recycling the same lame assed crap?
I knew it, they want us to use cell phones cause those little chips inside get close to our brains and then they read our minds and transmit our ideas. I knew thats how they got this idea, and my idea for the Matrix movies (well, the second two were my idea), and then that whole Phantom Console idea is mine (well, the part about getting people to pay you for a product that doesn't exist.)
And Opera shows up on the advisory page with more serious threat, yet nobody is gloating over that. The fact is, any application is going to have holes. These are truths:
The number of eyes looking for a flaw is directly proportional to the popularity of the product being studied.
The number of flaws reported follows the first.
The more a product grows in popularity, the more eyes look at it for flaws, the more will be found.
If Linux/Firefox/Any other up-and-comer gains in popularity, their discovered flaws will begin to approach, and eventually overtake those of Windows/IE/Office/etc.
Get off your high-horse and worry about the day you become popular.
Why not just bring in unemployeed people to distribute with each disk. They stand by your keyboard and slap your hand everytime you try to do something with the disk that manufacturer doesn't like. Bring them in on H1B.
Is someone suggesting that Web 2.0 will replace Windows? Are they saying the web will be the OS?
Web 2.0 is nothing if you have a emphasis disconnected computer. Web 2.0 apps are nothing if any number of things go wrong with a connected system. Web 2.0 is slower than snot, even with broadband, hell, just look at PageFlakes, one of the top W2.0 portals, it's buggy as Hell if there's a hiccup in any of the connected systems.
Web 2.0 is not relevent to a discussion about OS. It's a pretty buzz word that authors use to show they are hip to the new trend. Toss it in, throw it away.
Windows will continue to be relevent as long as it has at least the same market share in desktop and server deployments that Linux and Apple have.
Mindlessly attacking Windows doesn't make this flaw go away
Remember, foolish boy, if its Windows, its a flaw, if its open source, it must be Microsofts fault for creating a culture of closed code. Finding a bug in anything but MS will somehow spark an inequal response calling out the faults of MS. It's a knee jerk reaction by this crowd because they really don't feel that secure about their position.
I left HP, Boise during the disaster that was Carly.
Her "I-came-up-from-the-mailroom" speech was enough to make most in the Departmental LaserJet Division to wretch. But, at least she didn't go all Richard Nixon on everyone and send out eaves-dropping goon squads.
My wife's is the second wife of a Nigerian university professor. She's been a Niger-o-phile since the mid-60's. She will be moving to Nigeria shortly to live full-time because, as she believes, Nigerians take care of their elderly, and that being a wife of a Nigerian will mean that she will have family to take care of her. Note: She spent most of her productive, read: reproductive, years marrying Nigerians so they could come to the U.S., so never really had a family of her own. Now she's exiting middle-aged status, she is expecting to be cared for by her Nigerian "family".
Her view of helping out poor Nigerians is to use her pension to hire, as she puts it, "houseboys" and staff. Very paternalistic, very British. I'll send this article along as a cautionary tale.
Slashdot Mirror
NOW is the time to buy a gun or two. I think we are going to need them. Definately with the Republicans and even more so with the Democrats.

There's a really cool, but impolite joke in there, somewhere.

I knew thats how they got this idea, and my idea for the Matrix movies (well, the second two were my idea), and then that whole Phantom Console idea is mine (well, the part about getting people to pay you for a product that doesn't exist.)
...I usually despise the ACLU. But, in cases like this, I hate to see them back down.
I want my small government that Reagan promised me.
What we need is a Zero Day Quantum Virus exploiting Quantum FireFox and maxing out the Universal Entropy Index.

Wow, that emphasis mistake really shows one should emphasis never post emphasis before having a cup of emphasis coffee.
Oh, well...
Why is that relevent to Windows?

Nice Job. You were able to take a Web 2.0 story and turn it into a Microsoft rant.
But, can it run on the soon to be released Amiga's, and will Duke Nukem Forever be playable with it?
Can it run Duke Nukem Forever and use a Phantom lapboard?
Yeah, but, StallNUT will still claim its not enough because its still a patent.

A professor rides the back of his students' work and findings?! Say it ain't so.
Nope, never been there. Never ever had a prof do that...o.k., maybe...I'm not bitter.
Why do they separate out Canada from France when they are the same "run-from-trouble-and-appease-the-enemy" Vichy country?
Note: There were no sarcasm tags associated with that.
Who goes to Vienna? Can any good come from Vienna?
Almost ended up at Xerox in Oregon.
Now I work for a major governmen...this post terminated with extreme prejudice.

OOPS

Hey!!! Don't rattle the Slashdot Errors...err...Editors. Do you expect them to be on top of things? This is just a hobby for them, right?
A day after the launch of the shuttle, we'll probably get a posting from Taco Boy that the launch will occur yesterday.
"Candidate" is a nice, prettied up term for a glorified beta. You knew that, you were just being argumentative.
