Your post was very well written and full of good information. Thank you. I do have a question about this though:
In fact, I'd like to see a kernel patch that will break any binary that was not compiled locally.
Wouldn't that break pretty much every binary distribution? You'd have to have every server running Gentoo or LFS for that patch to work, and you could only apply that patch to the kernel after you had recompiled the toolchain and base system (essentially a stage-1-on-stage-3 approach, if you're familiar with that Gentoo process).
If you would have read the article, or even the +4 / +5 comments above, you would realize that the whole article is explaining how Opera 9.50 has redesigned its javascript engine so it's much, much faster.
I'm tired of companies and organizations launching websites and being completely ineffective thereafter, as if the launch of the website itself was the brunt of their effort. I seriously hope they do something about this, but in my mind, just launching a website proclaiming your objective doesn't cut it. Let's see some results.
The reason prices are dropping isn't because people are pirating music, it's because people aren't willing to pay $20 for a Celine Dion CD. Hell, I wouldn't even pirate a Celine Dion CD.
I agree entirely. The Marine campaign was creepy as hell. Killing the Marines in the Alien campaign was just fun, and killing both as the Predator felt like a standard tactical FPS.
Thank you for alerting me about this tragic crisis! I'm calling my state representative right now. You're right, we don't have any hookers on the corner of Oak and Fairbeech Lane.
Maybe formatting USB memories before usage would be a good move.
That sounds like an awesome plot for Tron 3.0. The main character is digitized into the computer to determine why all the USB drives are suddenly losing their memories. Unfortunately for the Symantec security company hired to patrol the streets, the suspect program has eluded all searches so far...
On the first (a cheap Acer laptop) it complained about the wireless chip. No real options for the user, other than to get a new laptop. But it did work.
Did you try ndiswrapper? There's even a GUI available for installing your drivers, so you never have to touch the command line.
Well yeah, Freedom Force is ranked well. It was designed to be hilariously fun, not purposely scary, historical, or deep, like the aforementioned games. Like The Sims or Katamari Damacy, fun games tend to do very well amongst gamers of all types.
I'm aware that this is Slashdot and we can't have anything positive said about Microsoft, but you could at least show the full story, not just the biased, edited clip.
Slashdot Mirror
The thing is, Netcosm is officially a "research project" that isn't public, it's not something you can install and use today.

+1 Perfect Timing.
If it's an unknown network, how does anyone use it?

Remember kids, correlation does not imply causation.
Of course it's not merely a pig. It's Dancer Pig!
Dancer Pig! Dancer Pig!
Does whatever a Dancer Pig does!
Can it dance
In ballet?
No it can't,
'Cause it's a pig.
Look out!
Here comes the Dancer Pig!
I wish I had mod points. +1 hilarious.
I hear Andy Brice got five stars from the "S0ft\/\/@r3 D3v3l0p3rz 70p 20" website last month.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

LMAO.
I'd like to see a report on the stress of Slashdot communication. I probably fall into the "Obsessive F5ers" category.
I'm aware that this is Slashdot and we can't have anything positive said about Microsoft, but you could at least show the full story, not just the biased, edited clip.

Yes, it's not perfect. But no, it's not as bad as that clip makes it.
