This in in the first line. This is the second line. And this is the third line, with an empty line in between.

Except it's not, because Slashdot is a piece of shit and requires you to use the break html tag, which not everyone knows about. Maybe it's been fixed in Slashdot beta, I don't know.

>Implying Slashdot editors are in touch with its userbase

Are you actually implying Indians are not Asians or what?

Lots of people have stopped using the desktop in any significant way. I think apps are the default access route for most people nowadays. (Of course, I'm pulling this from my ass).

Jesus fucking Christ, not this shit. What made your generation so special and great? Here's a hint: nothing. You were as mediocre (or as great!) as the current generation. I'm honestly getting sick of all these old farts thinking they were the shit when there's nothing particularly outstanding about them.

Yes, discipline is getting a bit behind. So what? We should focus on improving that, not just say "kids nowadays are dumb." Cutting down on social media, smartphones and porn will help. Don't you think we should focus on showing what impact abusing these things will have? For fucks sake, when I taught computers to old people I realized the have one of the shortest attention spans I've ever seen.

Really bad, because Linux is shit (unfortunately).

inb4 "most servers use Linux!". Well, we're talking about a desktop OS.

What is reasonable about his question? The part in which he is an autist? Go fuck yourself.

It seems Lady Luck has bestowed you with the privilege of being born in a first-world country. Good for you!

You don't get unlimited texting in every country.

I agree. It's so fucking ridiculous I have to use my tiny and shitty touchscreen when I have a full-sized keyboard in front of me.

I ended up using a keyboard server (through wi-fi) in order to type on my PC.

But I don't want a heart, I want to improve my skillset

Most estimates show a bell-curve type of population growth. I think it is around 13 or 14 billion where it would peak and then it will go back down.

So I don't think he's that off. We waste tons of food a day.

I thought the same, but what if the technology isn't there? I know nothing about lasers or laser-resisting windows, just asking a question.

Well, mobile phone != smartphone
They could have millions of Nokia 1100 for all we know (with that data).

Can't VoIP detect a fax/modem signal and avoid treating it like voice? For instance, the codec hears a fax handshake and then stops using lossy audio compression, or at least, lossy compression that doesn't destroy all data.

I see there's a standard, T.38 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T.38). I wonder if it's already implemented in VoIP services, and if it isn't, why they don't do it.
