    I imagine that that is because you did not report giving them the ticket.

  2. Re:Birthday attack on Two Snowflakes May Be Alike After All · · Score: 1

    You see, he was pointing out that the GP was sarcastically pointing out the joke of the OP ( being that the OPs comment was inherently self-contradictory ) whilst generalizing the GPs sarcastic joke identifying behavior and himself making a truism stating that all jokes posted to Slashdot are without exception explained and thus deferring his statement to the assertion initially given.

    Naturally this itself harbors strongly a possibility and great likelihood of recursive self-contradiction that when read would cause the readers mind to implode forming a black hole that would eventually consume the greater part of our side of the Milky Way.

    Luckily this will never happen as all jokes on Slashdot are, in fact, pointed out hence lowering the possibility and risk associated with the potentially head-imploding self-recursion to an absolute minimum.

    Or something like that.

  3. Re:MOD PARENT DOWN on Large FLOSS Study Gets the Real Facts · · Score: 0, Redundant

    On the contrary, a Google search for "Free Linux Open Source Software" +FLOSS yields only `Results 1 - 7 of about 32 for [...]'. There is some proof of usage.

    Acronym finder has obviously been either trolled, as I'm sure you were doing here, or adds anything submitted that matches the letters. The `Four Ligers Of Super Salami' will be glad to know that they won't be left out, without regard to not existing or bearing common usage by the public or professionals. At all.

    Most of the people using the term to mean `... Linux ...' online appear to be referring to other people that use the term that way instead of using it like that themselves. The other people, you know. Both of them.

  4. Re:Why so much WSJ? on The Twilight Years of Cap'n Crunch · · Score: 1

    I knew you were be facetious, I was mostly just chiming into the line noise. However. I disagree on your second statement. Slashdot may be rife with silliness and whatnot, but I've found a lot of good information in the comments on this site over the years, and still do. Of course, now I may now be misreading your intended intonation and confusing your second sentence for seriousness when you intended more facetiousness. Ah well, the perils of textual communication.

    That or a hack created the day the software is released ( with etymology likely from game cracking groups ). The anonymous coward post about yours strikes me as a bastardization of proper usage for the term, likely caused by its ever more "buzzword" existence.

  8. Re:True, but they knew this already on Second Life Open Sources Client · · Score: 1

    Many are going to mock this decision, but where would the web be if mosaic and httpd had been closed such that no derivatives could be made? No outside ideas incorporated or expounded upon?

    By doing this Second Life is no longer creating only a product, they are creating a product segment. Competition is attractive. It creates buzz. Networking with other interconnected groups will only help them. There will be plenty of clients for everybody. And when real business wants someone to pay for entrance into this new thing, they know to whom they'll go. To the ones who invented it all.

    As a bonus, by using the GPL, anyone who doesn't want to reimplement the client from scratch is forced to share their improvements back with the community.

    This move is brilliant.

  18. Re:Give me a break on Is Microsoft An Innovator? - The Winer-Scoble Debate · · Score: 1

    TCP/IP wasn't really innovative. The Hawaii based ALOHANET inspired Bob Metcalfe in creating Ethernet. The protocol they used thereon ( PUP : PARC Universal Packet ) was largely passed to the creators of TCP/IP as a series of rather specific "suggestions" by the members of PARC. They did so against the wishes of Xerox who had previously refused to share the PUP to be used outside of Xerox. See Dealers of Lightning for source ( and to call me out on incorrectly remembered details ).

    Shenanigans! Of course you can sell things you don't yet own or don't have on hand. Many businesses do. Hell, they have whole markets to do this. They make a sale to you, order the product from the manufacturer or other suppliers, apply the marked up price, and send it to you with a bow.

    If they can't get it, they have to refund your money due to failure to provide the agreed upon service, sometimes with penalties added into the refunded amount.
