First of all, add my name to all others here who have expressed their strong sentiment concerning how GAY slashdot has become with this color scheme. I was expecting april fools, not slashback mountain.
2)Why all the subtle attempts at hoaxes. Not that MS buying openoffice is believable, but we all didn't laugh (yes i speak for everybody). Why dont you go all the way. Like, MS patents Linux and employs Trovalds par example?
I don't like that word, defection. Kind of feels like running away from an obligation - an army of helpless users attached to windoze machines with Ballmer storming across the field:
"Switch those boxes on, you FOOLS"
It's probably a normal business term, but who likes business majors anyway.
Later,millions of nerds around the globe lose their jobs due to an obscure bug that, among other anomalies, confuses acute disgust with seductive looks. Sexual harassment cases flood courtrooms in north america and europe, and IT bosses are even reported to have filed charges of rape....
I was just thinking of buying a 512mb geforce the other day and decided against it..too early, no good games. Now they release a 1GB card. Insensitive freaks. What do you use a 1GB GPU for anyways?
It takes alot more than optimism to create a machine that works like the human brain.
The computer is based on the Turing Machine. Automata theory states that the Turing Machine can accomplish a certain subset of problems in the mathematical world, and no computer can be more powerful than the Turing no matter what complexity of algorithms is used. It's not a matter of processing power or hardware, it's the very nature of computing.
The human brain on the other hand can
a)Recognize this fact.
b)Solve some of these problems.
You believe the brain has come as a result of the acumulation of millions of random mutations. I will not argue the point, but at least leave room for other possibilities.
This is what happens when you write too much in Perl.
Probably not a good place for discussion like this, but a lot of the comments are coming from "mature" hedonists who want want everybody to grow up and accept pron as just a normal, ethically neutral part of modern life, and everybody else who doesn't want to be forced to watch naked people is a conservative freak who should come out of the closet.
Lets have pron ads in the street too! I'd love to be walking home and see posters of people sticking carrots in each other plastered all over the bus stop, right next to the Kellogs ads. Let's all grow up and ditch those ethics right?
I think it Woody Allen that said: "I can still remember when the air was clean and [extra-marital]sex was dirty"
I haven't researched this very well, as I don't use.net, but it seems the classes used with VS 2005 have been refined far better than the ones before them. For example, database queries *automatically* get checked for SQL injection. I tried to hack a friend's site admin section before and failed pretty bad even though he hadn't put ANY thought into checking input..etc. As someone said before, the problems usually come in the form of exploits to the OS, and not the website itself.
If I am horribly wrong, please point me to an educating source of info.
You are right. How can anyone possibly not believe that Israel will not use a unique opportunity like this to help it pick targets for assasinations..etc. It would be interesting, however, to find out if the French can see whatever the Israelis are peeking at, or how many imaging devices/cameras are on that thing.
Cat door in master closet so cat can enter bedroom but not bad guys[in event of robbery].
Nobody can come up with something like that without the aid of cocaine. You train your cats to use secrret passageways in dangerous events? What happens when you want some peace with your wife (hint:master bedroom) and don't want your cat to join in? Do you leave a sign?
These laws don't make the prospect of hacking alot dimmer for the skiddie, or any scarier for the experienced security buff who knows what he's doing. It might just tempt them (or should I say us) to be more careful about their proxies..etc.
You cannot stop unauthorized access. You can't put a pile of gold in front of a guy and tell him not to take it. Threats are great, but for the politically minded hacker - and most of them are - it just makes it more glamorous.
I bet you all my karma a UK site will get hacked soon.
We usually hear about projects aimed at the advancement of humanity being shelved for "budgetary" reasons, which means money needed in the military budget of the world's #1 conqueror, G.W."The Phenomenon" Bush.
But to scrap a project that has military potential for the same reasons? I almost feel heartbroken. What on earth is happening to the world. Someone call you senator or something. Give G.W a ring and tell him our country is doing something reasonable. Stop it.
No. Java takes the object oriented paradigm to perfection. C is C, Java is Java.
P.S
The guy who gave me a -1 overrated should join the assholes-'R-US club.
Openoffice writer handles.doc files perfectly most of the time, but try giving a windoze prog a file that it didnt make, and watch what it calls your momma.
Open standards rule. MS loses. Where's the popcorn?
Slashdot Mirror
Like dealing with some strange group of outcasts eh?
Ahem. Maybe we are, but we won't contact you very often.
Hurts our IQ.
Hurts our karma.
..is always more effective than this nonsense.
First thing that came to my mind was: HAL = Hardware Abstraction Layer.
And I thought, for the love of God let it not be the windoze HAL they're using to... well, to do anything.

Kindly explain WTF kitten pron is. I'm new to this geek thing.

Thats just how fast you accelerated before landing on your head when you were little. j/k :)
Dude, I'm like so smart, if I tried this little booger out I would DDOS their server.
PS:What is the point of these things? Ego. Pride.
Nonsense.

"a fatal exception has occured at 0xeb00fb0021.. "
In economy class, a man wearing a tinfoil hat screams.
"get the fuck off this site. I'm sick of you religious idiots"
Even if we're geeks? Thats not fair.
There's quite a few, but I'll invent one now: a computer cannot confirm the computability of a problem.
It takes alot more than optimism to create a machine that works like the human brain. The computer is based on the Turing Machine. Automata theory states that the Turing Machine can accomplish a certain subset of problems in the mathematical world, and no computer can be more powerful than the Turing no matter what complexity of algorithms is used.

1)The title is flaimbait.
2)The way to go about bridging the gap between efficiency and consistency is not difficult: it's called user interface.
3)How about an article called "To be like Java" since MS is generally very good at stealing ideas, particularly in software development.
4)Windoze registry sux.

Says this about the master bedroom:
