"The original plan was for the "Lunar-A" probe to implant two seismic sensors on the moon"
who cares about moonquakes when they are super affected by earthquakes and the giant waves they cause. I say put the moon sensors in the ocean floor instead. Maybe that's what they'll do
Maybe the winners will end up killing someone with a wiimote accident, cuz clearly the console is cursed. Btw, I still think this is insane. The body should just pass any water it doesn't need straight to the bladder. At a laser tag lockin all night, I sweated probably a gallon and drank at least a gallon of water and didn't have to pee all night so obviously it's the amount at a given time, not the overall amount. Whenever I'm fully hydrated and haven't sweat and all my glands are full enough, I usually just gotta go in like ten minutes if I drink a lot. You'd think it would just stay in your stomach if your bladder was full and you were holding it but apparently it somehow goes somewhere else and kills you. I still think that's a little iffy because it just doesn't make sense. You'd have to drink more water than your body can physically hold because your electrolyte density in your brain was diffused enough that you actually died.
most free training online is...well...free. For like $50 you can get a really decent photoshop book like the one I have for my college class and just run through every lesson and you learn a lot. I already took the Illustrator class at my high school and now I am super awesome with Illustrator. If you're really motivated, you won't wait a week between lessons like most classes so you'd be really good really fast.
the best way to get ppl to stop doing something that's wrong or bad or undesirable or innapropriate is to have millions of people laugh at them or get pissed at them after putting it on the internet. My neighbors are freakin weirdos and I'm pretty sure I've heard them burying dead bodies in the backyard at night like on The Burbs so I am so getting out my camera!
if U look on bittorrent and p2p programs, there's like 20 people who upload any movie tops and most don't do it in an uncorrupted, playable form so that's like 1 in a lot for how many copies are out there. Songs it's a bit more lol
actually you just simply test for semi-colons and other SQL injection, multi-command signs so it looks insecure. Then when you find one, analyse it further to test if what's after the semi colon is a insert, update, delete, or select or you know, whatever logic to make sure it's someone doing something bad. Then when you determine that, log their IP and ban them from the server and take legal action later. If you use any "more secure" setup without php, it's only a matter of time before the hacker find a security hole in that and all you're doing is delaying the inevitable. But if you use T.R.A.P.S (totally, ridiculously, absolutely protected system) then they're caught and it's over for them instead of them just saying "oh, that didn't work, let's try something else" and eventually getting in since there's an unlimited time window.
IE8 will have a new feature where it will tap into your webcam and keep a constant stream to someone at Microsoft's HQ watching to see if you sing along to a copyrighted song and when you do, they'll send someone to break down your door and arrest you. Yay DRM!
If 1 in 100 people does something bad with a gun, we all still get guns. If 1 in 100 people (probably less actually) illegaly copies and uploads or sells a movie or song, we all get super restrictive DRM. Apparently greed is more important than safety.
They can and will always be able to cut you off for any reason. It says so right in the contract. Same with most ISPs that cut off people who use way too much bandwidth (AOL). It says they don't need a reason to cut you off, they just can whenever they want "by their discretion." So yeah you won't get fined or go to jail for using a custom cable box that steals HBO, but they can stop giving you service all they want so it's still pretty pointless.
If you leave it wide open for SQL injections when you could just filter out semicolons is absolutely the developer's fault. The code is gone by the time the page gets to the user for God's sake, it's not a horribly insecure language if you know how to use it. Languages aren't there to babysit someone who knows nothing about proper security, they're there to do the maximum amount of things. Adding securit restrictions would just piss people off and get in the way of people who want to do things other ways
okay, the odds that everyone that reads slashdot is a server administrator, repair technician, network technician, programmer, web developer, AND hardware salesman are pretty low. I'm only a repairer, programmer, and web developer so I have no idea what any of those mean.
1. Stop using acronyms that nobody knows, slashdotters hate that!
2. never ever ever use spreadsheets ever to hold data ever because you'll eventually want to do database operations on it
3. and as for the specialized software suites that do all that logic and notification and stuff, it'd take longer setup and configure that than to do it manually and cost an ungodly amount of money for licensing. Plus it never gets the logic right because tons of human reasoning is involved in which to drop when and stuff and computers can't handle that. If I were you, I'd stick some blank transparencies in the printer and print color coded, graphical timeline sort of outage window schedules from each department or whatever and then just lay them on top of each other in logical ways until you come up with something that works. The main object is to go through the first day and pack as many possible downtimes together in a row as you can then go to the next day and do the same thing until they all have a scheduled time for when they are allowed to be down. Make sure every single upgrade time has at least one secondary possible time in case the one before it takes longer than it should (which will happen a lot) If you have them arrangeable in overlapping transparencies that way and they can be easily rearranged and examined visually, it's better than any computer program except you're doing all the logic, but that really shouldn't take much longer than an hour or two if you use the logical pattern I said. Hope that made sense cuz it did in my head lol.
Does anyone else think it's odd that a Japanese company doesn't want porn on their format and an American one does. That's absolutely oppposite of what you'd expect. Well forget players, now people REALLY REALLY REALLY aren't going to upgrade to Vista if they know it can't play HD-DVDs as it supposedly isn't able to at the moment.
lol, let's all submit fake documents that say CowboyNeal got arrested for conspiracy to commit public nudity and slashdot will be shut down cuz of it then submit it as a story lmao!
that's survival of the least crappy lol. We used OS8 or less through my middle school years and it froze up so damn much, we hated macs more than anyone could have made us any other way than forcing us to use them. Macs now are decent and don't freeze so much but I think they damaged their reputation way too much by their shitty, useless older OS's. I really can't believe they released a final product like that (but then again there's AIM Triton) All I know is Windows 3.1 totally rocked and Macs used those dumb giant floppy discs lol and from then on Macs got better and Windows got worse and it looks like nothing's going to break that trend.
ARE YOU HIGH?!
Get out of that bullshit old teacher mentallity that if it's on the internet, it's not true and if it's too easy to learn, it's not being taught correctly and let kids do research on it.
1. they're gonna get their asses sued nonstop because DUH most will be illegaly leaked
2. Anyone can make up anything but unlike wikipedia, you can't just go and check and see if it's true somewhere because it's supposed to be classified and leaked so nobody knows about it. Everyone can deny everything and everyone can say everything is true and nobody really, really knows. I bet politicians will "leak" things about their opponents and opposing parties and all sorts of made up BSing situations like that
Remember what Apple did with giving away free macs to schools so that kids used that at an early age and were familiar with them instead and thus wanted them at home? I bet Microsoft will do the same for Vista in schools everywhere but this time, instead kids won't say "aww that's cool!" they'd probably say things more like "why the hell is this taking 10 minutes to boot" (we say that at my college already) and "oh look, the IT people let us be able to do this!" since nobody's extremely familiar with all the things you have to do to Vista to make them middle school kids with technicial skills proof lol. So yeah, there's compelling reasons for Microsoft to get schools to upgrade to Vista and lock em in with a license but there's definitely tons of reasons for schools to not upgrade. And of course it's a massive waste of money that could be better spent anywhere else in the school
In 1400 years we could probably use the radioactive waste to dump into our Mr Fusion engines and go to the Mars base for the day. But Alpha radiation can be stopped by holding up tin foil so if the container eventually breaches, the dirt around the place will stop it real fast. I guess the container would leak the material itself into the ground and that's no good but don't they use a landfill like thing where they put a thick plastic or concrete layer around the whole area to stop any leakage.
The solar powered part is easy compared to trying to drive through the freakin Australian outback! In case you missed that Mythbusters episode, it's like hell out there in some places. A normal car would barely hold up so the real challege is to have the car not break. But hey, maybe someone could just remove the gas system from a hybrid Prius and wire an electrical system connected to TONS of solar panels duct taped everywhere on it and bubble wrap and duct tape the hell out of the rest of it so it holds together and tada, they've got a solar powered beast!

here's a security policy you obviously never learned in school: Don't trust it if you didn't write it! go troll somewhere else

oh sorry, I meant to type out my entire security policy for PHP but it was a bit longer than that. Shut up, it was an example

actually, I posted the best answer so far. It's the cheapest most efficient solution.

hahahahaha you're right :-P but we say it for a different reason
have you seen VB? It's totally English-US-American to the max. People in other countries are all like "wtf are they doing it this way for?"
