Slashdot

I am responsible for reading most of the help requests sent to Slashdot. Most of the mail I get in a day is what you would expect, comments and concerns about postings, user accounts and Slashdot itself. There are a very special group however that get passed around the office due to the inordinate level of anger, lack of understanding and just plain weirdness they possess. Through the years I've collected many and still get such gems on a regular basis. We thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite rants, ramblings and ruminations with the rest of you. I give to you the first of many installments of Slashdot's disagree mail. The names have been changed to protect the idiot — hit the link below to drink it in.

Apparently they're releasing yet another cut of Blade Runner.

Here's my preferred cast if they ever decide to do a remake:
Keanu Reeves ... Rick Deckard
John Malkovich ... Roy Batty
Natalie Portman ... Rachael
Gary Oldman ... Gaff
Alicia Silverstone ... Pris
Steve Buscemi ... J.F. Sebastian
Ewan McGregor ... Leon Kowalski
Christopher Walken ... Eldon Tyrell
Angelina Jolie ... Zhora

"Consumerization will be a nightmare for IT departments, creating maintenance and support problems that will swiftly overwhelm IT resources, unless they embrace new approaches to managing the rogue employees," says one analyst. But end-users say their personal devices help with creativity and productivity."

An anonymous reader writes "CNet has a digestable analysis of a new hybrid hard disk that has its own dedicated CPU, operating system and a gigabyte of on-board DDR RAM. The disk can sit alongside existing drives and SSD hard disks, and will be interestingly inexpensive.

"This new effort is aimed at desktop computers, and is essentially an amalgam of a smaller laptop hard disk, and 1GB of ordinary DDR RAM like that found in all computers.""
