You can't win a war when half your gang are balding hippies and the other half are the traitors. Before you know it we'll have people on our side making plugins for MS apps and calling a ceasefire. FOSS people are both crazy and affectionate, but mostly crazy.
This is slightly off-topic, but I think (less physical) 3D desktop management can be a lot better. Take Project Looking Glass for example. Did you ever wonder whose ideas MS stole with the Vista Aero thing? https://lg3d.dev.java.net/ Now you know.
Have you ever tried to compromise a FC5 box with basic server-hardening and all the latest tech enabled? The implementation of comprehensive buffer-overflow protection schemes(stack,GOT protection..etc) has made it almost impossible to root certain boxes.
Now environmentalists everywhere can rest assured that the yearly production of vehicles will not just decrease, but utterly vanish.
Also, many possiblities present themselves. What if someone wrote a virus that made all the aircraft get "Eat shit, Billy G" painted across them in red? I say we should all support this fantastic development.
A desktop should never try to become like a laptop. It is, in contrast, the laptop's eternal dream to become a desktop..hence the phrase "Desktop Replacement".
Can you imagine a "Laptop Replacement"? All the other desktops would call it a pussy.
I love this new slashdot trend of users fully expecting (and appreciating) their deserved mods, announcing them, then posting anyway. I call it the slashdot confessions, and I use it myself frequntly - fantastic results. The worse they do to you is mod you interesting (which is the silliest ranking really - puts you somewhere between funny , informative, and troll). It's like they consider trolls who are consciously trolling to be some rare, sacred species.
Trying to analyse Brazilian football produces pseudo-random results. You can't predict what crazy shit they're going to pull on you, and their general movements on the field are best visualized using excited electron clouds.
Let's just keep the PC's in the basement and the footballs in the stadium, alright lads?
I'm in my twenties, and I don't barely know what the term 'emo' refers to. I can't imagine how the more senior members of this place might be feeling now.
That's 4.64 million green boys per year-and back in '92, a million bucks was a million bucks. The Humanity! Kudos to this gentleman for a well placed career investment.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the newer members, who like myself are wondering if this is just another day on the great blog.
For reference, process is as follows:
1)MS does, says, or releases something shitty 2)Above becomes news 3)Slashdotters kick MS ass back into the 1980's, when school dropouts didn't make OS's 4)*Sigh*
Slashdot Mirror
So allow me to be the first to say:flamebait+=5
*Reads headline only*
-A while back we were told Taiwan held the world cup for spam (small statue of a devil holding an envelope).
-Now China wants to crack down on spam.
-I see only one way they can do this, or am I terribly mistaken? (P.S Yes I am aware issue is cleared up in summary. Just laugh.)

So the researchers blew up the compromised laptop in a Japanese conference as proof-of-concept? Im confused.
And that's just cruel. I mean, you fried the guy's BALLS, man.

Life is about to get exponentially better.
You don't get it: you need to INDULGE in this stuff to make it work. Did you eat the dust? Did you sniff the pollen?

One small step for optics, one giant step for pornography.

I was just about to post the Tannenbaum song.

-1 troll -1 offtopic -1 flamebait
That's what they should call the bug.

you could post reviews for your groceries? Because if yes, we can and will annihilate the TV dinner business.

Oh wait, I can..
Dude, you're selling panties on Slashdot. Does your boss know about this? :)

You mean the Bill is violent or the video games?
Because that's called MySpace, and look where that got us. Think of the children.
*raises troll mod shield*
Yes, but it still sux to get pwned.
To the idiot who modded me flamebait: you didn't read the last line did you?
Did anyone else read the headline and imagine a pink theme? With ponies for icons?
Please don't do this to me again.
Also, additional info for the Gnome devs who are apparently living our dream of space travel:
-Women like to go shopping
-Women can't park cars to save their lives
-When women think technology, they think microwave ovens
-Women like to yell at sexists who make generalisations about women

Funny, I didn't know there was a new GTA game. Someone please post .torrent thx.
*takes of hat and bows*
I think he was being sarcastic. Otherwise you are right and he should be shot in the balls.
Forget the coding crap. Who cares? Tell us about the nightclub..
