No, the slashdot solution would be to run Airpwn to redirect all the truck's connections to goatse.cz, and follow it with a cantenna so that's the only signal they get within a mile.
Well then, I'll do my part for that cause by pointing out Firefox's development process is just as bad as Apple.
Here's a few of my favourite bugzilla bugs, in ascending order of bullshit: #324253., a cross site XSS exploit which nobody responsible for the code seems to care about. #45375, a request to make tooltips not cut off at an arbritrary length, which they refuse to fix in Firefox apparently out of spite. #18574 - The MNG bug... you really have to see this farce with your own eyes. Especially the bit where the asshole in charge of the image code stated that the MNG DLL has to fit within his deliberately impossible to reach size requirements before he'd even consider re-adding it.
Why does Sony consider it a good business move to alienate Europe with a half-year delay and neutered hardware, and why do you still charge more for this inferior product than the US or Japanese consoles?
That's the problem with most schools. Not enough reality. Maybe they should try taking the kids to a real lake one day to teach them why the fish are dying, they might learn something important.
You can't hear the difference at 256kps lossy versus lossless, so why waste you're life converting your already lossess music archive from CD form to harddrive form
Maybe because at some point he'd like to upgrade from the low-end gear he said made the difference inaudible? Even on $30 headphones the difference between MP3 and lossless is clear as day. Or maybe because he wants a backup copy to rebuild from in case the CDs get scratched? Not everyone has an audio CD collection made entirely of titanium and diamond discs.
That gave me an idea. Suppose the universe ends up going into a crunch a few billion years from now. What if instead of collapsing to a singularity, it keeps going past that and expands into another universe made of antimatter? To people on either side, everything would be completely normal but on the other side you'd detect nothing since everything cancels itself out at that point. Maybe all the antimatter in the current universe is just debris that escaped the last big crunch.
Don't take this post too seriously, I didn't either.
What I want to know is how he got that quantum computer that can transfer megabytes of data in zero physical time... and how he got windows to run on it!
Satellite bandwidth with only the lag of the distance to a local TV transmitter. Now that would be interesting. Even more so if they could get a two-way connection going over the air...
That's wonderful, however my £1200 prebuilt P4 Windows XP PC came without the OS preinstalled and no drivers for the modem, sound card or video card. Random crashes while playing games? You bet. The motherboard went bad almost exactly two weeks after the warranty expired.

The bad dialog box rendering is on purpose - after all, they are trying to _accurately_ clone windows.
Because I heard it could do hardware-accelerated OpenAL in Linux.
All these comments above about crap drivers made me change my mind. I'd rather take a CPU-limited framerate in games than a soundcard-limited uptime.

...it'd probably have one of these; I've already ran out of windows+* shortcuts to assign.

That's one thing I found pretty funny about Windows - the UI hasn't progressed at all in usability since 1994, it just causes more epileptic seizures.
200W? Never mind then, I thought I read somewhere it can draw up to 380W.

They did.

Cause if it isn't... I imagine there'll be a huge backlash when people notice their PS3 is constantly drawing 0.4kW whenever it's on.
Wow, and to think I was going to buy a PSP just this weekend...
No thanks, I'd rather not be lumped in the same group as self-conceited wankers like you.
Yeah, it's called server-side validation. Such a braindamaged use of JS has no excuse whatsoever.
Mainly because I don't think anyone would want to wiretap someone who views goatse on average once every 5 minutes.

Your hardware maker can't hear you complaining on slashdot, will not fix their drivers because they can't hear you, so why do you bother?
It's even scarier when you consider who's really running the US. I have the phrase "copyright concentration camps" stuck in my head now.
Did he say anything about real, actual games in that keynote, by any chance?
96 bytes? In the old days the hardware would work with 0 bytes of software.
You know you could have just corrected me without the bile and rhetoric, Mr. Coward.
$packagemanager $updaterepository && $packagemanager $installupdates
Or a real-world example for gentoo, which takes approx. 15 minutes:
emerge --sync && emerge -u tzcode tzdata
