Oh great. so maybe they should just invent a mouse with zero buttons. Then blame it on lazy users to just use the keyboard for clicking. That would really save on the R&D costs!!
What's wrong with losing? Isn't that the sign of the most honest lawyer perhaps? Maybe he wants the SCO case to lose because he thinks SCO is full of lies.
I didn't see anything in any of the articles or comments that explain how people get dunked. I saw in the video people were watching someone else in a distance doing something. Did someone have to throw darts or something and make a bullseye before linus on the platform would be dunked?
Since I've once lived there for 15 years or so, I can tell you there isn't much to do locally. It's a dead boring city. I was so glad to graduate HS and get the heck out of there. At least if LinuxWorld was in NY, there would be more stuff to do when you're not at LinuxWorld. If it were in St. Louis, you'd be bored to tears after LinuxWorld.
my argument was not to yapp on the phone while driving at 75mph to start with. So bluetooth or no bluetooth, you shouldn't even be using a phone to start with.
How bout you not talk on the phone while driving down the freeway in a topless jeep at 75mph? With or without a bluetooth headset for your phone does not help killing yourself.
Did anyone notice this? The page title is "SCO | Company | Contact Us".... BUT after you hit the submit button, the title of the page becomes "Caldera | Company | Contact Us"!! SCO still wants to be Caldera!
In Atlanta around the Buckhead area there is a 6 mile radius WiFi access with the essid "FreeBeeAtlanta". It's free wireless access and it's FAST! And plus I don't think anyone could possibly trace you.... I can be downloading mp3s while walking around the bookstore... who'd know right?
What if you're one of those people who has always been skinny as crap even though you sit in front of the computer hacking for 10 hours a day? How can we GAIN weight? I've tried everything from the disgusting weight gainers to drinking soda as my new form of liquid, but my weight isn't changing...
I mean I've heard that beer could help, but being a lightweight, it doesn't take many beers to put me out...
Or worse yet, some crazy hacker sets off a daemon on some remote company server that fires off millions of emails to random recipients. That would be a new way to bankrupt any company. It doesn't take too long to send off 100 million emails...
I can't believe nobody mentioned the multiplayer aspect in the Quake. I can remember playing Quake 2 CTF, running through the hallways with my railgun. Every time I heard footsteps, I'd do a 180 flick with my mouse to rail someone... my ears were so trained I knew exactly where they were coming from.
And now every time I'm walking into a room, I feel the need to check for all the typical "camper" spots before I can feel safe....
Are you trying to say that GNU/Linux is better than just saying Linux? I mean seriously, everyone knows when we say Linux, we actually mean GNU/Linux.... is it really that necessary to say Ogg Vorbis every time we refer to the Vorbis compression scheme?
Do people say "mpeg 1, layer 3" everytime they talk about MP3s? Yeah, I didn't think so.
Somehow I don't think this will ever be enough of an argument to persuade 100,000 international slashdot readers to go elsewhere. If you don't like slashdot for it's US-centric views, you're free to go elsewhere.
Can't someone modify an existing license for a significant piece of the Linux system such as a kernel scheduler piece? The license should put a little statement somewhere that it's LGPL for everyone but SCO, then if SCO includes the linux kernel in their release, the EFF can easily sue them for violating the license right?
I really don't think the usual slashdotter uses a scrolling stock ticker window, but I don't think the article was aimed at the usual slashdotter audience in fact. I'm actually a developer in my company's decision support systems where we develop stastistical models to represent current and future customer predictions using stuff like k-means, sammons mapping, etc. Stuff like sammons mapping maps a n-dimensional data set into a 2 dimenional visualization and it really does help marketers predict how the trend is moving.
I develop workflow systems with built-in dashboard display metrics so that data could be displayed in "real time" to the PHBs who make all the real decisions in the business. Yeah everything is buzzword compliant here, but the story about dashboards is real. As a developer working in both the PHB decision-making world and the low-level IT development, I can attest to it.
So are the newbies who put whiteout on their screen also ahead of their time? When will we see monitors that translate the whiteout on the screen to an actual selection-delete?
Yeah there was. I have a HP 48GX and did use the IR remote control programs downloaded off somewhere way back when. It supported many many devices since you could teach the calculator new signals (since it has an IR receiver). However, the big problem was the IR light wasn't very strong and wouldn't work farther than 4-5 feet. I remember on the mailing list several people posted hacks on removing the IR transmitter diode with a much much brighter diode. But really, the calculator as a remote wasn't all that practical.
Why would the users care whether you use a J2EE or PHP4 backend? You must be thinking of Java applets which very few few people actually use for any "web page development". And the chapters 15-18 that talk about J2EE, what's wrong with using J2EE for the generation of webpages and content?
I think microsoft just patched that specific corporate key. I got another pirated corporate key from Pakistan and it seems to work fine for SP1 and other said upgrades. You just need to know where to get your working pirate keys from. And they said nothing good comes from Pakistan... bah!
It's pretty amazing, but the hotel company that I work at, 95% of the users still uses Windows 95, an 8 year old operating system! It really becomes a problem when software developers write applets that require Java 1.4 and 1.4 doesn't support Win95. Yeah, the applets don't even run under Win95. Surprisingly enough, they have decent hardware here (Pentium 4s) but their operating system is about the oldest thing here.
Of Peter Jackson films, I like Braindead the most. It's one movie with more outlandish gore than anything I've ever seen, and yet Peter is still able to make it into a romantic humorous love story! How often do you get to see someone mowing down a huge crowd of zombies with a lawn mower strapped to his chest?

There's also another really GREAT way of blocking pop-ups. It's called "lynx". Just try to write javascript to pop up another terminal window!!!

Hi Richard Stallman,

Yeah someone should make a Tivo for radio, then it REALLY can't be stealing right?
The output of the program is not "whitespace"
It's "whitespace is for lamers"
