"That, unfortunately, will mean work for site administrators."
Only if they are incompetent and haven't been designing to standards. Otherwise, just the only work they need to do is opening the bottle to celebrate not having to spend ages getting their correct code working.
For once, something I think M$ are doing right. Not going to make me run Windows, but it might stop me wanting to kill anyone running IE.
Everything is made in China still.
Look, I know it broke, but that was the on-off button, the odd chance. Things often happen, and the panel has been superb the entire time, I was also commenting the warranty was excellent. Yes, the on-off button broke, but that's probably just a spring failing, a one-off chance defect. The panels are still great.
I'd avoid Dell PCs, but then again, I'd avoid any pre-built PCs, personally. They always use sub-standard components (PSUs mainly). That said, I own two dell monitors and they are of an amazing quality. One of them broke recently, after one year of use (2407WFP, the on-off button broke, really annoying, the panel itself is fine) and I am getting a 2408WFP back from them. Not bad.
That presumes that putting CO2 into the atmosphere does something bad. Which it does not. (Rises in temperature CAUSE a rise in CO2. CO2 is dissolved in the oceans. When the temperature rises, water evaporates, and CO2 is released. Graphs show CO2 actually rises directly after an increase in temperature not before.)
Of course, this would not be a problem if we generated electricity without burning fossil fules. (I do not condone the 'fact' that we are the cause of global warming, which is a load of crap, as people on slashdot should realise. I do condone the idea that fossil fuels are not going to be around forever.)
It's called exaggeration.
No, they are not terrorists, but it's annoying when idiots group together in numbers to protest something they don't even understand properly.
I see the 'Everyone uses windows, it must be good.' Argument all the time in YouTube comments, I never thought I'd see it on Slashdot.
That is the stupidest argument you can make. People use Windows because Microsoft have cornered them. Software they need runs under windows, DRM, hardware, games, etc...
Windows is by far worse than the competition.
Let me rephrase then 'You can not use root as usual in a stock Ubuntu install.'
What I'm saying is you don't have to sudo as root in Ubuntu, because you never log in as root, hence you don't sudo as root.
Sorry for over-simplifying.
Because even if it works 'fine' for you, there is a better option out there, and by using windows, you are forced to pay, and are locked in. I don't know about everyone else, but I have a problem with the fact everyone in the world is paying for something which is worse than something they could get for free (and if everyone did run it, it'd become better in every way overnight (hardware manufacturers making drivers, etc...).
Slashdot Mirror
Because Firefox renders our code correctly. IE doesn't. Design for Firefox, you design to standards, design for IE, you design for IE.
Yeah, generally the weapons first, then the bullets later when they turn with the weapons.
It is meant to do both.
I thought that phrase came up whenever an American discussed a problem?

How many people have I killed in GTA?
It's like being in Jack Thompson's mind!
Agggggghhhhhhhhh!
Yeah, when KDE4.0 was released, they basically said look to KDE4.1 for our first proper release.

I can get 5 from CD wallet to Eric Nylund, best so far.
What about those using their phones/PDAs as cameras? Seems like a flawed strategy if you ask me.

Heh. It's funny. In the UK, ADSL is all there is, Cable is damn rare. (Yes, I know if you are in the right area it's available.)

According to Gigabyte, ASUS lie to us a lot. Still, my ASUS board is good, but I have had good experiences with Gigabyte and DFI boards.
Old-fashioned? You mean English as opposed to American, right? (Correct as opposed to wrong.)

Well done for saying what was clearly stated in the article, pointing out the bloody obvious, +insightful to you sir!
Honest to god, I read that and though the US government were going to have 50 old gateway computers. I was like, WTF?
Don't blame the language because the developers are incompetent.
Ironically, Natural Gas has no smell, it's added, but we all got what you meant, I'm sure.

Root does not exist on a stock Ubuntu install.
