Anyone noticed the level of humor required to get moderated (+1 Funny) these days. At first it seems like a waste of perfectly good moderator points. But I think everyone has figured out the quickest way to the karma top is to moderate UP not down.
Maybe we need a new type (+1; Moderator needs karma)
Whaddya mean different? Anybody who has ever watched any television knows that foreign languages use the same English words, just with funny accents and an occasional hilarious pronounciation.
RAMBUS might not be suck, but it isn't in the running for those who want best bang for the buck.
What is suck, is when vendors force RAMBUS on us. Want to buy a Dell? You can either by RAMBUS for $$$$ (notice the extra $), or get a lower end system with SDRAM but using the i820 MB, which combined with SDRAM, is of course suck
"And C# is the first language to incorporate XML comment tags that can be used by the compiler to generate readable documentation directly from source code."
So what? Ever heard of JavaDoc? POD? Having to code your comments in XML isn't a revolutionary leap (forward, anyhow).
NeXTSTEP allowed rtf source. The compiler stripped the tags.
Welcome to MozOffice.org! Right now this page is in its infancy, as is the idea behind it - but already it's a powerful one: a Mozilla powered editor that breaks down the barriers between word processors and Web site editors Emphasis mine.
later...Then take that a step further with spreadsheet and presentation capabilities, also compatible with current solutions like Excel and Powerpoint
and finally...This site is a placeholder that I hope to turn into an organizational centerpiece for what I think has the potential to be the most powerful side of Mozilla yet (and Microsoft's worst nightmare).
Now, tell me again how James Russel would be surprised, or how this is no more than "cloud talk" from a newgroup thread? Now is this newsworthy? No. Is it half-baked? Yes. Was CNET duped? Yes. Can we blame them? No.
I did read your attempts to get them to ignore this story and not publish. It sounds like the article was already written, and the author had his quota for the day. So roll the presses!
I'm begging for a karma adjustment. First, I defend Hotmail, now this.
Did any of you read this article? Did roca? Did timothy? James Russel has a web site and provided quotes to CNET, sounds like more than an off-the-cuff remark to me.
The fall of/. would be an interesting read, because most of us missed it while blinking.
You know, maybe it wasn't ever really any good. Think back to your first visit, didn't you read a -2;Flamebait posting talking about the good old days when Slashdot was relevant? The only thing that keeps me coming back now are the grits, sweet miss Natalie Portman, and naked Jackie Chan ASCII art.
As soon as Trolldot comes online, I am outta here!
Often it seems that much of the technology in Star Wars matches much of the technology that seemed possible at the time; biotechnology (cloning, gene manipulation) wasn't really a going concern in '75, but computers and holograms were within-grasp technologies that seemed to have a lot of future to them. (Where are we at with holograms, anyway?)
What? IANASWBE (I am not a Star Wars biotechnology expert), but what do you think the the mentions of the clone wars in EP4 were all about? What do you think EP2 or 3 will be about? Why do you think battle droids were replaced by more reliable (cloned) stormtroopers? Biotech is old (failed) news in the Star Wars universe.
I can't believe nobody has mentioned this. What is with that slurping sound coming from Top9.com... I'd rather deal with the back button problem than listen to that.
Would they make up some excuse like they did for Y2K?
What excuse for Y2K? You are confusing Christianity with idiots. I saw alot of people with no ties to religion demonstraing the same Y2K stupidity. The TV Christians will latch onto anything that gets them air time. And they are no different than any other profession that relies on fear and doom. Why do you think the anti-virus companies screamed death & destruction? They were just as bad if not worse than the TV Christians. Personally, I think that if you are going to believe in an all-powerful, all-knowing God (choose your capitalization), you would be stupid to think one little planet in the vast universe would be enough to keep him (choose your gender) busy.
It will suck for intel too. Higher memory prices, driven by government sponsored monopoly, will both drive down demand... How is this? If your scenario is true, Intel still makes money both ways, either through selling CPUs, or SDRAM license fees.
Consider a lemonade stand that sells both lemonade and lemonade recipes. I would much rather sell the recipe. "Mash up some lemons and add sugar", than make the lemonade.

How can you say this? I think software patents should be personally approved by Al Gore. He can just say, "I thought of that years ago" and deny the application.
I was fortunate enough to run across a numbers broadcast once while playing with my shortwave radio. It is an odd feeling to listen and think about how long this has gone on without anyone knowing if its even for real.
The time I listened in, it was english numbers but the reader had a spanish accent.
I really don't want to sound like a jerk here; I love the global connectivity the internet provides. It is just cool to ask someone from the other side of the planet a question, and get an answer in minutes. But puh-leaze spare us the whining about U.S control of the domain names. Its not like we took over your national network. We _allow_ you to connect. There is nothing to stop you from creating your own. Just don't try to screw us on the domain names.:)
But they didn't say almost every web site, they said web-hosting provider. Don't most hosting companies offer *nix or NT options? If they only have 1 IIS site, they are "affected".

Redhat can do whatever they want. After all, they invented open source.

Hope everyone touting this as a good thing likes the idea of a completely clueless company taking over Linux.
This is just the first step toward the AOLinux distro. AOL wants to have leverage against Microsoft and this is it.

INTEL and its boyfriend Dell IS SUCK
Boot times are very important when using an OS that requires rebooting every couple hours. Imagine the productivity gains from this upgrade!

Wouldn't it be great if you could turn your computer into a console at the boot manager level? It could be a gaming virtual machine or something such
Sounds like a DOS boot disk.

Gee, if your previous posts were half as informative and on-topic as this one, you were surely wronged!

Trolls normally use an AC account, maam.
