Yes, but since the core of Intel's marketplace consists of people who see a monitor and think it is the computer, this is a barrier that Intel can easily hurdle.
Steve Jobs called. Something about iMac G5 and some rather unpleasant remarks about Intel.
Kind of had it with Slashdot. They banned my entire IP range again and again for over a week now, because someone on my ISP keeps screwing around. Ban expires, I get a few hours of access and after that it's gone again. Repeatedly reported the ban on my IP and asked for a solution, but nothing.
So, fuck Slashdot.
Now, let's give this Kuroshin thing a try...
Temporary using my journal for this because the fools blocked my entire subnet after someone else from my ISP went wild. Yay.
Ah yes, Slashdot. Been here for a year or two. Don't really keep track to be honest with you people, considering the exact date isn't really that important unless you're really anal about a time-of-joining based hierachy. In which case, UIDs would be a better indicator of 'status' to start with, but I digress. This is nothing about the Slashdot pecking order but more about the current state of Slashdot
Seriously, my patience has a limit and after this article, Slashdot just crossed that limit. I dont want to deal with Hemos' sad sense of humour. Coupled with the fact that the site still fails to render properly on mozilla from time to time, still has a broken and blatantly abused moderating system along with retarded and incompetent admins, I wish to know if there are any sites like Slashdot just without the retarded admins.
Okay, so the last few years "blogging", apart from having an atrocious name, has become a fad. Fair enough, because in essence it's a good thing, allowing people to post stories on the internet and have others comment on it, without the retarded Slashdot admins or the GNAA trolls. Over time, some wonderful journals came online, with examples such as the MSDN journals and Groklaw. These sites function as portals for peo
Hi! Welcome to Seth's wonderful little world here on Slashdot. Where news, geeks and linux-fundamentalism meet up with my warped mind and "reality distortion" field. ( Copyright Steve Jobs, or so they say... )
I am NOT a goth. People have been wondering about that because of the "Dark Lord" bit and I tell you, it's not because I'm a goth. It's because terrorists, liberals, Tony Blair and other evil people have already laid claims on my usualy nickname, "Seth". Serves me right for ripping

There's a lot out there that can harm your network...
Together, there's alot we can do to help.

Not that great, but definitely worth a 'heh!'. So... heh!
Lately I'm beginning to see ads for "Slashdot Personals". Yay. I think I'd rather give homosexuality a try. Desperate OSDL marketeers ripping of desperate geeks on a site which is desperate for new "news". Woot!
Although in a perfect world, we would have companies auditing their own code and finding exploits in their own products, the fact remains that unless there is a perverable rocket aimed at their behind, nothing will be done.
The fact remains that we have an organisation here with over 40,000 employees, over $40billion dollars in cash and yet, they're making *really* stupid mistakes. I am sure most people could cut Microsoft some slack if they were a small business OR that these incidents were as rare as hens teeth, however, when it becomes "have you applied the daily patch", people lose their cool.
The unfortunate thing, however, is due to Microsofts huge marketing muscle, this approach by "exploit finders" doesn't work. Microsoft instead of taking on board the information and applogising, instead they spin the story as to make out that the person who finds the exploit is somehow linked to a grand anti-Microsoft conspiracy, and god forbid, call them a "terrorist" for "exposing" the unwashed masses to "harm".
Yes yes, it's that time again. Not really, I'm just bored at the moment and after reading this bit about some porn peddler being governor of California, I decided it was time to update this thingy again! So, move over Larry Flynt, you amateur! Make way for the professionals!
And so it came to pass that pornography became free! Enjoy and stop before it starts chafing, that'd look mighty awkward in the emergency ward. Not a pleasant idea. Maybe the masochists among us are more interested in that. Sandpaper anyone?
Yes yes, have to keep the masses happy, right? The latest harvest of thumbnail galleries has been pretty much catastrophic lately so I'm digging up older bookmarks. Thumbnail galleries can be quite good once you filter out all the popups, referral scripts, traffic trading scripts, animated gif banners and all that. Nothing a bit of PHP, some knowledge of coding/scripting and a hormone high can't solve. Anyways, you people most likely don't come here to read my rants, so onward, without hesita
