    There's a reason why the government is buying new weapons.

    Every single object, mobile or immobile should emit a different tone constantly.

    once I can get all that cross platform, I'm ready to switch.

    No need to wait, Linux ships with flashblock by default. Unblocking it, that might be a problem.

    Slashdot is an offender in terms of page size too. My phone's browser has a kB counter, and a sigle Slashdot story takes (without caching, with ads) almost a megabyte. On my 1Mbit connection this takes several seconds, which is obviously more than any engine would take just rendering it.

    Somehow I doubt there are a million letters in the comments.

  7. Re:Job loss... on Woman Sues Google Over Street View Shots of Her Underwear · · Score: 1

    It's not that hard to imagine...
    Maybe she got the job only because she mentioned that she doesn't have underwear. Then her boss found out she was lying, and fired her.

    I'm an asymmetrically limbed hunchback with a torso tentacled person who likes to save on electricity by keeping the heat down, you insensitive clod!

    That's what you should have said.

    I don't really know much about the RIA, so I can't say I agree or not. I'm just saying the distinction between freedom fighters and terrorists isn't as blurry as some people think.

    I mean, I just read Mi*****ft, and I think "Wow, Windows is finnaly in beta, but the price is even more up?".

    Shhhh.....

    Can't you see, this is actually a grand plan by us Slashdotters to prevent the mindless masses from knowing how to reproduce. Don't spoil it!

    This (oh how I wish for modpoints).

    I'm really surprised this comes up so rarely. I still fail to understand how watching people get killed (or even killing them as a part of a computer game) is OK, but seeing a part of a human body will make you a psychopath. The sheer stupidity of this statement is only surpassed by the number of people that believe it.

    To put it clearly: Which of the following two do you find more likely?
      - Watching people have sex will make you hurt others
      - Watching people hurt others will make you hurt others

    It is why we air condition data centers.

    Uh huh. And these digital routers just keep revving up more and more as data comes through until they catch fire?

    I was just wondering why my processor never overheats, and now I know it's because it's digital.

    So according to your plan, some random organizations hosted on EC2 would spend more resources, making more profit for Amazon, while Amazon's site itself remains working. Great idea.

    People who did this spread their genes more, so now we have more descendants from such people than from revolters. It's also the reason men like clearly colored blondes, even though we know the color os artificial. Evolution 101.
