The plugins developed for WinAmp are still amazing, if they could port them they'd be on to a winner.

The more outrageous these claims get, the more I find solace and intrigue in the research surrounding plasma cosmology. Certainly worth the time.

Would love to see more of Antartica.

Always did.

So when your AMD driver updates render your video card useless on Windows you can switch to Linux?

Seems easy for Indians. An industry centered around scams has been setup by Indians for Indians. The rest of us have next to no chance at getting into the US.

Put him in the freezer overnight he might have some juice left in him.

Another dive :D

Once upon a time, slashdot had millions of viewers and posts would incredible number of views. Slashdot once even had the /. effect where if a story was linked on the site, it could upend traffic. Now, it is not even a decimal. Slashdot is nowhere near the top 1000 web sites. Currently, if you look at posts 50 is the average. This sight has fallen because threads like these get down modded because the leftist point of view got challenged. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Down mowing should be for name calling or illogical arguments. Neither was in the parent post. What did happen was someone who want to suppress free speech got angry and could not make an argument. Free speech exists so that ideas can be challenged. This means you might run into something that you do not like or proves what you held dear to be incorrect. Lashing out at what you can't defend does not make you correct. It makes you a small, petty, Nazi (in the real sense of the word)

In any case, congratulations. You have whittled your community down to about 200 like minded people. It is a small bubble. A stupid bubble. But, I guess it is yours now. Good bye slashdot. I have been a part of this community for over 20 years. I am tired of one sided arguments. I am tired of seeing things up voted, while have no evidence, and things with links for support and logic getting trashed. This site used to be news for nerds. Full of technical discussions. Now, if there is science news, at best is you get discount reddit level quips. Seldom any insights. Seldom any real discussion

Slashdot now generates less revenue than the average computer programers salary. (about $9000 dollars a month.) It has become a pathetic shell of itself. I miss the awesome ideas, bringing up far reaching and obscure articles about science, and that certain, deep humor that epitomized slashdot. I guess like a bad relationship ending, I was holding out to see if it will ever be as good it as it was. It really will never be good again. Enjoy your collective stupid. You earned it.

Ps. Firefly really is not that good. Almost no one liked it. Look at the amount of audience being low.

After decades of stupid policies ruining their cities, the parasites are seeking new hosts.

Funny this got modded down because reality hurts

3, 2, 1.... Go! Simp ahoy ye mateys!

Why do we have inflation? To put in /dot terms, garbage in, garbage out.

I had purchased a copy of office for my Mac in the early 2000's. It worked reasonably, well, and moved it from Mac to Mac over the years. Since it is 32 bit, it no longer works. Reasonable.

This is how software used to be. If I reading the /comments correct, this is not the case for this. It is tied to a single computer. If I upgrade, it is gone. Not the same.
