After all, it would be a horrible thing if someone in Japan wasn't doing the same thing as everyone else. How shameful! I'd guess you would've had to have lived there to get this joke.
...a set of wheels, a kitchen stove, misc. household goods,... Either that was the smallest stove in the world, or you have a garbage can fit for Paul Bunyan.
I'm still customizing it. There are a lot of tweaks that make my pc more productive, lots of scripts I've written over the years. which is exactly the way a (home) installation is supposed to be. I really couldn't ever say that I could get an installation "the way I want it," because it's never been that way in all my years of computing!
I'm joking, but you never know. On a more serious note: what mystifies me is why these companies need to store customers credit card details at all?! Having had experience with POS (Point of Sale) I know that the system should keep these details long enough to complete a transaction, then it should delete it.
Because they have to report it to the government in order to keep track of everything you do as part of a global information dragnet on every living man, woman, and child in the world?
Satire? Don't be so sure. There are plenty of people who believe things exactly the way a place like Conservapedia has written them. As a matter of fact, look at their article on Evolution [http://www.conservapedia.com/Evolution] -- nowhere do you see any mention of carbon-based dating or radioactive dating of any sort. A satirical site would've tried to make at least a passing funny reference to radioactive dating, don't you think?
he's a nice guy, causes no trouble, but socially he's totally aloof
I can't be sure, but that sounds like a serial killer to me. Or maybe you guys are all just a bunch of dicks.
Just to summarize, there are only two possible reasons for his behavoir:
1) He is a a serial killer
2) You are dicks
No other possible explanations that I can think of....
Sorry, I know you're joking, but I've got to go ahead and disagree with you on that one...
I fit that discription perfectly, though the people I work with are all nice, nor am I a serial killer. I just like keeping to myself.
Not all socially-private people sit at home all the time with the shades drawn, you know...:P
...(of course, in the UK under-21s can buy alcohol without proving that they drive a car and own at least two guns).... Eh? Are you insinuating that in the States under-21s can buy alcohol if they drive a car and own two guns? Nope. Wish it were true, but nope.
if you truly care about it as much as you say, then buy a diesel!! a diesel VW, especially, gets the same gas mileage as a Prius at about 10,000 dollars less. And no problems with battery disposal at the end of the life of the car! No battery replacement, either!
...every knows the Mayan calender only ended on that date because they ran out of rock face to chisel it on. I'm sure it could've gone on for millions of years.
Slashdot Mirror
No, we're both wrong.
We all truly know that Japan needs to begin negotiation with "the blue 'E'" immediately.
...the Japanese do realize that YouTube isn't the entire Internet, right? What's stopping this video from popping up at other places?

You're thinking of FlashBlock, 7-time winner of the "mdm-adph badass extension award."
pretty cool? pretty horrible! :( know of any way around that?
It's called "securing optimum voice communication for pilots and crew"...
What? No? Okay, then, it's called "thwarting possible terrorist coordination."
Basically, expect a bullshit answer either way.
...how they plan on blocking all voice-over-internet -- Ventrilo, clients other than Skype, etc.
Blocking everything but port 80, perhaps?
...especially since you can still find tons of videos of The Daily Show on there.

Commander Data already did this in "The Game."
The closest I've been able to come is by creating a "blacklist" in the NoScript extension, and by allowing all root-level JS to run by default.

...I've had doubleclick's servers blocked in my HOSTS file for ages now.

My philosophy exactly. Keep things at work work-related, if only to make sure your supervisor has a unbiased opinion of you come evaluation time.

sex AND slashdot?
you make funny Hey -- he never said how much sex he was quitting. It could be very little.
Hell, I think I might just quit sex too. There. Wow, that wasn't very hard.
Sigh.

It was a non-issue for the data, since the genital superiority factor effectively nullifies it.
wait a sec -- you're a christian, who speaks rationally, and is an open-source advocate... hang on, I need to go sit down. :P
