Castillo de San Marcos - Still at Sea Level in 2025.

How is this of any significance to humanity? Seems like a weird way to waste both time and money.

Now all my crappy code will crash much faster. ;)

I made my chat font Comic Sans because I think it's funny that the "Supreme Allied Linux Commander" for our organization (me) uses Comic Sans on Skype For Business. Keeps 'em on their toes.

But Brave Browser has no problem blocking them.

The point of advertising is to generate demand (want). The more you can influence people to want your product, the more of your product you're going to sell.

I bought $1000USD of Doge back when it took 12 of them to make a single penny just to have fun with on IRC. We set up a doge wallet bot and used tipping in Doge as a way to encourage productive/constructive comments and contributions to our little channel, as well as educating people about crypto. I ended up giving away at least half of the Doges to various channel dwellers just for the fun of it. (Using random soaks & tips of 100 doge here & there.)

Fast forward to now it's around .13c per doge and the coin I so liberally threw around like confetti actually has some value. It feels really good to have contributed in a positive way to crypto-currency awareness and to see those contributions actually have value.

I still have quite a bit of Doge left and it has oddly turned out to be one of the most entertaining & enjoyable successful investments I've made.

TO THE MOON!

1) If you are stuck with windows, consider getting one of these:

2) If you are willing to use an android based solution, perhaps a raspberry pi 2 would be plenty for you and only costs $35 plus whatever shit you have around in your house

I really want to see Packaged Apps take off across all browsers, mobile and desktop. I'm willing to take a little performance hit to have apps available across all platforms.

Like Java -- "Write once; debug everywhere."

Sigh. Slashdot used to be a FOSS / open standards blog. Moving away from an MS protocol to an open one would have been cheered. I wonder what happened to /. over the years?

Umm, they lost $35B in market cap just a couple of days ago. That's something. Their stock is down about 23% from a couple of moths ago. They're losing something.

Well, I'm going to guess that about 40% of the patents filed in the last 30 years have already expired ("been invalidated").

This is my first time posting to Slashdot in a while, I guess, and I just noticed my old sig from 2 1/2 years ago. I guess Google has done a bit of that identity integration with Chrome already. Yay! IT's tied to Google. Boo!
