I thought this was going to be about Ballmer, and we could get some insights on how to fucking kill our competitors, and maybe some tips on the best way to throw chairs.
So in other words, you don't hire guys with wives, children, dogs, bowling teams, dart tournaments, Warhammer league nights, wine clubs, poker buddies, or who are going to night school to finish their degree? Because you're missing out on some really great employees when you do that.
As they say at Initech: "You should always be asking yourself: Is this good for the company?" I don't think employees' dogs or poker games (or dogs playing poker?) contribute to the stock price!
In other words: The grandparent poster doesn't want to hire you, but you probably don't want to work for them, either.
This is possibly the worst summary I have ever seen on Slashdot (I must be new here!). Leaving out the tiny detail of Lori Drew having DRIVEN A CHILD TO COMMIT SUICIDE seems to be missing the point so completely, that if the point were a hydrogen atom on the sun, this summary would be aiming for the Small Magellanic Cloud.
On one hand, this makes DNS entirely useless. On the other hand, I (and I think many other people) basically just use Google as a replacement for DNS anyway, so maybe it doesn't matter.
What if this is just the Technocore telling us "sure, it'll be fine". Next thing you know, bam, Old Earth is sucked into a black hole (or, as it turns out, not), and we have to farcast over to Tau Ceti Center.
Unfortunately I don't have it with me -- it's back with a lot of other family records and things in my parents' basement, and, contrary to popular belief, I don't live there.;)
I could probably get a picture or scan of it eventually, but this Slashdot discussion will be long since archived.
Also, since posting that earlier today I'm thinking I might have misremembered the number. It was definitely two digits, but it might have been slightly higher, something like "52". Either way, I found it pretty interesting.
Recently found an old newspaper ad, circa mid-1890s, for my great-grandfather's grocery store. Despite living in semi-rural Indiana, they apparently had one of the newfangled phones, as the ad listed their phone number. It was "12".
Slashdot Mirror
Did you stop reading Slashdot, like, eight years ago? Libertarians have been outnumbered by the lefties here for a long time now.
Correct answer is F) Not being the US or one of its allies (i.e. "first world", nor the USSR or one of its allies (i.e. "second world").
Words and phrases have meanings; you don't get to change them.
So they're porting their game to a Blu-Ray player? What next, my home theater receiver?
The worst part of the algae blooms are the damn mindworms.
Also, I'm not sure what phosphorus has to do with it; I thought algae blooms were caused by drilling too many thermal boreholes.

Don't you get it? If you die in Canada you die in real life!

Where do you think wind comes from ... magic?
Trees sneezing.
I was guessing Microhoo! Then when they merge with Google/Youtube, they can be Microhoogletube!
Add in Oracle and they can be Microhoogletubacle!

Paul Simon said he got the name for his song "Mother and Child Reunion" from a Chinese restaurant's chicken and egg dish.
Bennett went on to say that he is not the man they think he is at home, and that he will be burning up his fuse up there alone.
Man, Elves, and Dwarves, duh.
I guess Hobbits don't count.
two Ukrainian immigrants who were each caught with $800,000 in cash stashed in boxes and shopping bags in their homes.
I assume the boxes and bags all had big dollar signs on the side of them.
Also, I'm extremely impressed that TFS (I didn't RTFA, of course) had no incidents of "ATM machine" or "PIN number".

If you're reading Gizmodo (or Slashdot, for that matter), and you're looking for good journalism, you've made a wrong turn somewhere.
There are bears outside!

The real question is why Slashdot uses PST and EST when those are wrong. We've been on PDT and EDT since March.
Way to not file this under "Politics". There's a reason I have that section hidden. Slashdot has categories; use them correctly, please.
lol.
There was also a mention of onions, which we wore on our belt because that was the style at the time.
Unfortunately I don't have it with me -- it's back with a lot of other family records and things in my parents' basement, and, contrary to popular belief, I don't live there. ;)

Next step is to clone them and open a theme park, right?
Exactly! And I don't know why people play FPSs when they can just go down to the Army recruiting station!
