When I read the article I got the impression he said that NAT turned out to have the side effect of increased security for Windows machines, rather than it being done on purpose.
Yeah it's so painful doing my web app development, browsing and media playing on Linux instead of Windows or OSX. I've tried all three, and I prefer Linux. Sorry if that offends your worldview. Actually I'm not that sorry, you're being an asshole.
I think this article is amusing (well, the summary is, haven't bothered with the article tbh!). I wasn't referring to that.
Perhaps you are browsing with -1 or 0 level comments hidden. I only hide -1 comments but I still get thrown off by it sometimes. Have a look through the parent posts!
There are only so many stories that make it to the front page of Slashdot every day...my point is, why use up one of those "slots" with a retrospective on stories, some of which are well over a year old, instead of something that covers modern events?
Why not just ignore the stories that you don't consider news? It seems slashdot is often at least a few days behind whenever I talk about stories with one of my geeky friends, but I don't mind much as I don't often browse any other tech news/aggregation sites really.
I just was getting frustrated at the number of times I've seen you post near the top with some really obvious observation. I'd seriously just prefer you to say "first post!". I probably have done/will do this from time to time too, but most of the time I only post jokes, the occasional bitter/flamebaitish remark when I'm having a bad day, or comments that I think are relevant to the topic at hand (I can't help chiming in when people discuss driving for example:p ).
No, but he just has to chime in somehow, even if he has nothing to say.. as usual.. he even admitted in another story that he is just posting these comments to advertise his website:/
Oh that's okay then, that must mean that there are no ethically bankrupt business men in the real world. Thanks for clearing that up! Wait, didn't I see a TV show that had a fictitious cop on it once? That means the Police force doesn't exist!..? How am I going to sleep safely at night?:(
Like that has anything to do with Star Wars. They haven't even released the new ones on blu-ray yet:/ I bought the originals on VHS as a kid, and only recently bought the DVDs since they were so cheap and the blu-rays aren't out yet..
I'm not counting Episodes I-III in that btw, not sure I even will ever watch them again unless some friends happen to want to while I'm there or something.
It's interesting to hear that there are people that really talk like Elmer Fudd, though it seems more like this guy is actually Kripke from the Big Bang Theory:0
My iPod is "on" constantly, and even after a reset (it crashes occasionally, I got it pre-owned) then it doesn't take that long to start up as it has its own DB and isn't just reading through the whole filing system table..
I've never used iTunes, I use gtkPod. It's obviously not as nice as drag and drop, but it works..
Have never had a problem with grease, I tend to wash my hands.
No, I only know one woman that thinks so highly of herself that she likes to take infinite pictures of herself and her nails. The other women I've dated haven't cared for such things, and that's because I'm not into traditional shopping loving, makeup-addled bimbos..
Um yes, try nail clippers, or just get a resistive touch screen, duh. You don't need to press with fingertips either, often you'll be pressing with your actual fingerprint and in that case long nails wouldn't be an issue..
I've only known one person who really enjoyed having properly long nails, and she's just an attention seeking whore. Obviously with this one data point I can deduce that all people with long nails are attention seeking whores.
That's a great name! Exactly the same meaning, but sounds way cooler. I may have thought it sounded slightly stupid if I wasn't comparing it to "Libre Office" of course..
Summary also mentions it as being a transitional name. I really hope they come up with something better. Even something stupid like NotOffice or SlightlyShittyButFreeOffice would be preferable.

Google? Facebook?

I tend to expand a lot of posts, but yeah the GNAA and anal rape stories were getting to me a bit so I started browsing at 0 intead of -1.
Now now, just because a woman is ugly and fat doesn't quite justify riflemen. Think of the mess! I propose gas chambers at the local McDonalds.
You maybe have the same issue I have - things that you have to point out to other people irl, are obvious to most Slashdotters :p
I usually want to say "don't you have a job or something?", then realise it would be amazingly hypocritical considering I'm often browsing /. at work ;)

Wha? I was talking about Pojut dude :)

The one with shovels, because it's more entertaining?
I'm an idiot, so I didn't know how.
FTFY :)
VHS/DVD/BluRay

I don't believe in souls, and I'm not poor.

Thanks, I'll be sure to tell my happiness that it is ill founded.

I choose to use Linux over Windows at work and home.
