Well I write the software that does a lot of these calls so its pretty simple to exclude myself :)

That's sad to hear. Farewell KR->R;

<deep breath>Let's keep this /. related while I try to calm down from the state of induced rage I've been in from hearing the constant use of the work "Hack" in the UK media the past week when talking about using the default pin code for a mobile networks voicemail system. THAT'S NOT A %£^%£"%" HACK!!!! </deep breath>

Okay, I feel better for getting that off my chest.

I remember playing the original and you pretty much nailed how I feel about it. What did these people expect? The second coming of Jesus in game form?

I was personally offended more by Crysis 2 that promised so much and then delivered nothing, screwing the user in the process. While DNF promised nothing but a juvenile story, script & gameplay and guess what, that's exactly what you get. This was never meant to be a AAA class game and I honestly laughed and had fun playing it. Frankly I feel like telling everyone to grow up and learn to just switch off their forebrains and enjoy some sick childish humor.

How can you steal something when Redhat make it available for free? You pay for Redhat if you want support and their management tools. They probably consider CentOS a loss leader, a lot of their business is likely "won" by converting sysadmins from the free distro.

1) Cheap tower server + your favourite unix distro + software RAID + many, many cheap 2TB drives.

2) Standalone NAS device. Everyone so far seems to recommend different makes so I'll carry on the trend and suggest Thecus. Just slot in the drives and you're ready. Install the SSH module and you also have a Linux server too.

So was I the only one who crossed their legs while reading the story?

Cool video but probably not as impressive when you don't load from the page cache and add network latency and overloaded webservers to the mix.

I know we joke about "World Robot Domination" but why do we seem to be trying to get there as fast as possible!?

Even if this is completely unrelated to the SyFy series, Singer is not a small name in the movie business. So if it gets more people interested enough to watch the TV show, I can't say it's a bad thing.

You forgot the most important change of all.

They added support for "goto".

This is Slashdot, we like to laugh at and feel superior to all the peons who install bad software.

Normally it starts with "Win" and ends with "Doze".
