People should stop trying to bust on Microsoft, most people on Slashdot use Windows, and they use it because it's better than Linux. Why not wait until Linux is better than Windows to start ragging on Microsoft?!?
I decided to write details about my daily wanking experience in trolltalk. You're welcome to hop over that place and read it.. it's very useful. Includes links to a porn site, too.. ohh...
"Some scientists even see the day when trees and grasses will be used to mine metals and minerals without disturbing the soil"
How will you mine the minerals? I understand the concept of getting them out of the ground, but after that where will you get them out of the tree/plant/weed?
I'll do all this for 50 cents outside my home. I am prepared to prick your finger with a needle, and do exactly what Venter is doing with a 1,000,000% discount!
Why more licenses? The open source has enough licenses without throwing another into the mix, especially when they aren't even GPL-compatible. All this does is confuse potential developers and users, making it harder for the mainsteam user to use Linux.

The rise of the new generation of consoles and the corresponding fall in computer game sales was the least surprising trend of the past year. We knew it was coming, but now that it's here, the change in the landscape is breathtaking. It proves something PC gamers are loathe to admit: Like Internet stocks, PC gaming in the 1990s was an aberration, a bubble. Driven first by the CD-ROM and then by 3D accelerators, PC gaming took the lead in cutting-edge content. Full-motion video, 3D environments, sophisticated gameplay, online gaming: These things made PC games unique. They helped computer games move from the realm of the hobbyist into the mainstream.
And while computer games will never return to a mere hobbyist markey, their heyday is, for the forseeable future, at an end. like some kind of silicon brachiosaurus. computer haming is being brought down by its own weight. It's simple economics: A single piece of a computer gaming rig - the accelerator card - costs more than an Xbox, and doesn't look nearly as cool, come with a DVD player as a basic feature, or display on a huge TV.
Mainstream computer gaming is one controler and an Internet connection away from being thrust into irrelavence. One someone finds a way to effectively and comfortably replicate the fine controls of a first-person shooter for consoles, and once the major console makers get their onlinge gaming services up and functioning, PC gaming ill find itself loping toward the tar pits.
Not even The Sims can save it.
They too, are heading for the consoles.
Now I have to buy cars only with CarFax on them, because I don't trust that 'mod-chips' won't be placed on cars to roll back the mileage a little. Yet another step in the degredation of the automobile industry...can't wait for jet packs!
It isn't. If someone wanted to apply a mass amount of computing power at a problem, they couldn't do it distributedly because you rely on geeks interested in your cause. Those geeks might in short supply if you wanted a distributed application for, say, figuring out the genome for rats. Don't post comments without thinking. It can only lead to trouble.
Nice, except for the fact it doesn't matter. It wasn't even the real encryption code. Also, it never would have happened without distributed processing, so this isn't a real demonstration of computing power, but actually a demonstration of distributed computing power.
I think Mr. Luck is wrong. Engineering requires thinking, which implies that a computer can never be an engineer, because computers can't and will never think. Just because engineers are using bigger and fancier calculators doesn't mean you have to write an article lamenting the demise of a profession. Seems like a whole load of rubbish.
It's very sad that such an influential news website as/. is lowering itself to promoting incremental upgrades of individual distributions. The focus should be on the overall effort of the Linux development community. I understand how important Mandarke is to the overall longterm of the Linux community since it is for 'n00bs', but the focus should still be on the overall development of the. kernel
Actually, I did. I guess you weren't thinking when you read my comment, eh? Fucking canuck. I'll spell it out for you: What incentive would Congress have to pass a law requiring spammers to pay $10,000 the the reporter?

LOL!
That's kind of funny. A whole bunch of security professionals bit a 14 year old's troll!
All Micro$oft thinks of is profit margins. Charging extra for better security would be similar to Ford charging extra for an antifreeze container.
Another irrelavent internet company is starting up!
Does anyone know when the IPO is?

No, stupid. 1,000,000 percent discount from $500,000 = .50
I'll do all this for 50 cents outside my home. I am prepared to prick your finger with a needle, and do exactly what Venter is doing with a 1,000,000% discount!
Finally, mainstream news is recognizing the *real* god of computers, not good ol' Billy Gates.
I refuse to support Intel as long as they support Palladium and DRM.
There is no "master", which limits speed. It should be somewhere between USB 1 and 2.
It is silly to waste my hard-earned money on a research center when many internet researchers have already done research without a center.
All the poor guy did was spam!
What if we arrested multiple mailers to real mailboxes?
Why more licenses?
The open source has enough licenses without throwing another into the mix, especially when they aren't even GPL-compatible.

Good idea, except how would you know if the spammer had been already reported? Also, who would fund it? No one really has an incentive to.
