Why do you care, though? Slashdot's not reporting the news, they're centralizing the news from sources all over the web. Even writing their own summary isn't actually offering anything of real value since you want to go to the source anyway. What Slashdot offers is a number of people, such as yourself, commenting. So why does it matter if there are typos in the summary?
Anyone with a fucking GED should be able to write better than this. Editors? What a joke. If I could go one week without seeing shit like this, I would consider paying for a subscription.
Why would a lack of typos suddenly be the feature that makes you plunk down the cash?
There are times and places for each. Streaming lets you discover new music with little risk. Downloading lets you listen to specific music any time and any place, without regards to network conditions.
Surely, there is room in this world for both models.

I beleieve there is. I've had a subscription to Rhapsody for over 5 years. I have the same songs on all three of my machines (work, home, and laptop). I can use a web interface to play music on other machines, no install required. I don't have a massive music collection to keep backed up or synced across other machines. I can try out all kinds of music that I'm not sure if I'll like or not, and that helps me make purchasing decisions. There's also the side benefit that I can go hunt down comedy albums and use them to kill time. (as opposed to being really fussy about spending money on the ones that suck.)
I really dig my music subscription. I'm a little surprised that more people that work across multiple machines aren't excited about it.
Yes, let's not hurt the feelings of someone who doesn't know which word is the proper one. Hurting feelings is bad, especially when everyone knows just what they[sic] other person meant./sarcasm
Don't mistake us wanting you to STFU with wanting to keep his feelings from being hurt. We're not concerned with your feelings being hurt either, hypocrite.
We handed our mail over and it's the first time I've ever had a problem with them as a corporate mail provider. Almost two years. There may have been one other short outage, but I don't remember it being during business hours.
I doubt you could run a mail server more reliably. And, for the difference in cost, I'd stay with Gmail.
Just wanted to add that despite GMail's outage, POP was still working. Email on my iPhone was working the whole time, for example.
As far as outages go, that was pretty derned tame.
Hi, this is Ignorance here. How do FPS apply to web page rendering?
Thanks.
Back in ye-olden-days of web browsing, when my computer was a whopping 160 mhz, there were web pages with ridiculous amounts of tables that could cause my browser to slow to a useless crawl. To answer your question, I think it's about making sure that doesn't happen anymore.
The XBox 360 is notorious for being horribly designed - the red ring of death eventually claims about half of all units and the disc scratching problem is extremely widespread but unheard of in any other consumer electronics.
The evidence of that is anecdotal at best. To put it another way: Nobody's running around on line talking about how they've gone another day without a RROD.
But why would he have to pay up for the license, if he already has it?
I apologize, I never meant to imply that I had to buy another license. I did not look into their replacement media program, for example. I looked into this before when I damaged another disc several years ago, and it would have cost $25 and taken two weeks to arrive. I was concerned that by waiting two weeks I would have had the story of the game spoiled for me.
I was under a lot of pressure at work at the time and I was playing that game to unwind so I wouldn't have dreams about MotionBuilder.

what kind of loser goes around caring what women think and trying to impress them?
Gee, real intelligent comment. Maybe you should wait 30 minutes after looking at porn to post. ;)
software patents 'fueled the explosive growth of open source software development
I guess we know which side IBM is on. Too bad.
Faces on stun.
This is drearily likely to be the driving force behind the growth of the technology.
Look at history. Video cassettes, the Internet, silicone rubber formulae...
You mean like it is for blu-ray?
Unless I can move my head to look around something, it's not 3D. If they want to call it 'stereo' TV, that's fine, but it's not 3D.
We already have 'stereo' TV. Call this a 3D TV and call what you're describing 'volumetric'.
Defensive much?
Gee, why would a satisfied iPhone customer be defensive here?
But I wonder what would happen when they get very old.
This is just a guess mind you, but I'm pretty sure they would die.
Really? That answer is 'informative'? It's not even answering the right question.
The data readout sometimes gives no solution and at other times gives circular results, the hot ice equivalent of a BSOD.
What is a BSOD?

Hint: The dark side of the moon isn't. The moon gets as much sunlight over it's entire surface.
What's sad is that I'm actually surprised this didn't get modded up.
And when it is also your calendar? contacts? documents? Not just e-mail.
Do you really want all your eggs in one basket?
Unlike everybody using Exchange or even just having a common server?
Your eggs are already in that basket. The difference is Google has the hardware, software, and man-power to maintain it.
Cloud computing's not right for everything, but you've picked a piss-poor example to make your point.
Welcome to the promise of Cloud Computing.
The future is here.
Yeah because email server reliability was never in doubt before the cloud.

So much for handing your email over to Google
We handed our mail over and it's the first time I've ever had a problem with them as a corporate mail provider. Almost two years. There may have been one other short outage, but I don't remember it being during business hours.

I think you misunderstood my post as a ding against Opera. I meant to compliment it like you were. Heh.
...so if it renders at 30fps or more on my computer, that means its good to go on yours?
Quite possibly, yes. Even if mine only rendered at 15, it'd still be more than acceptable. Good to go, as you say.
Why does a WEB BROWSER need to support rich text email?
This would be a whole lot more insightful if bloatedness was one of Opera's 'features'.
It comes with a mail client, what a non-point.

Laying is what birds do. With their eggs. You mean that your machine was lying flat.
Thanks. I wasn't sure if my fifth grade English teacher watched my posts or not.
With AMD's reputation for producing hot-running processors
What reputation?
You're posting on a site that still mods BSOD jokes as funny.
6th Core, but I'm the bad one so the 7th core will have to be the 6th one.

Yeah sure, it is never Apples fault.
Oh please. On Slashdot Apple's guilty until proven innocent.
