Just have to add my $.02 to the thread. I've been typing on a Dvorak keyboard for about 10 years and greatly prefer it to QWERTY. I can still go back when I have to on others' computers, but like the above have mentioned, I'm not nearly as fast and my error rate goes way up. Above all else, Dvorak just feels a heck of a lot more comfortable to type on. Every time I go back to QWERTY it feels like I'm doing complicated gymnastics just to type a simple sentence.
It's time to wake up and realize that energy utilization isn't going away and we need to find (read 'use') methods of generating energy that have a lower carbon footprint. Limiting google searches to reduce greenhouse gasses is about the most idiotic thing I've heard in awhile. I wonder then how much each slashdot post adds to the marginal CO2 emission.
"I've noticed that attitudes around copyright seem to change depending on whether someone is a college student or a recent college graduate, versus someone who can remember a time when the Internet did not exist."
That's because younger generations believe in the free exchange of information.
As someone who does CURRENTLY work in accounting, I can tell you that most of those loopholes have been closed. There's a reason why the top 1% pay more taxes than the bottom 90%.
CFLs do less than you think. A simple measure of real power consumption is not enough because the power factor on CFLs is atrocious. The power company has to provide the apparent power even if you're not paying for it. A good explanation of this can be found here.
Slashdot Mirror
when will they support accelerated decoding of h264 streams? Until then using nvidia for its VDPAU is a nobrainer.

Besides, these numbers don't seem to add up...
about privacy issues in the United States, but at least we're still nowhere near anything like that yet.

Linux: 391 - 78%
this as FIRSTSTRIKE?
Is it any wonder given the speed difference between the two?

As with many ideas, this is so simple I can't believe we haven't thought of this before.
is RIAA paying him?
Which Judge? How is anyone going to prove you read the HTML source?
