The point of camping and camp fire is to enjoy nature outdoors without bringing the noise of society with you.

But if you're in a campground with a bunch of other city folk and their obnoxious generators so they can watch TV in their camper trailers, then some fireside toons might help you enjoy the trip.

Dnsmasq using an amended hosts file FTW. Point your router DNS to a linux box if necessary. Then all devices covered.

Mosaic was amazing for its time. Wasteful tool bar at top, but a pretty sweet graphic while loading.

There are a lot of those groups in Idaho. When someone contracts a disease like measles, the family invites all the extended family and friends over to "say goodbye" because they won't perform any medical treatment.

So sad this happens to kids that have no choice. I've met teenagers that "sneak away" to get medical help and medicine just to survive.

What was your other hand doing?

Depends on the game. I can play Open Arena fairly well without a mouse, but I must plan my shots much more carefully.

I came here expecting the first post to be about etching goatse on glass for future generations to enjoy. Yet not a single post that my simple search found.

Sad.

I also use FF daily on Android. Unsure how anyone could deal with Chrome on mobile. Slow and terrible.

With Bitcoin, you're validating transactions. For this distributed ledger of voting, you are only recording each vote and hopefully not transferring votes between wallets.

It's only kinky the first time.

That's no excuse for atrocious spelling. Please don't post anywhere if you cannot re-read before hitting 'submit'.

The concept of "the machine 'learns' what I like/dislike by showing me more/less of those items after I rate them" behavior is concerning in the context of free-form information. In the case of Netflix, it's great, as that is entertainment. But as more and more people consume *information* from social media sources using algorithms like this, it will further divide society.

Soon everyone will only see "news" they agree with, instead of muti-faceted stories and derive their own opinions.

Ye who controls the algorithms will soon drive public opinion.

I thought today's slashdotter is a typical mac user.

(old meme, but still relevant)

The difference is you need to buy something new for the same functionality.

Consumerism as slightly more subtle use. 2 people with ear buds instead of holding their phones while talking.

As silly as it seems, this is the most insightful and concise post on this entire thread.
