Whoooeeee! Stick the pig, Pa, we're havin' dinner! Someone obviously MISSED Physics 101. Too much time watching WWF maybe? Or out tippin' cows maybe? As per BASIC HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICS, light has properties of both particles and waves, and is almost, but not completely, massless.
Try this one on for size. Lasers produce COHERENT beams of light. Yes, they emit visible radiation. However, as they emit this radiation in a directional beam, and shed very few photons away from that axis, Mr. Erikson has very little to fear, unless he chooses to stick his pinhead in front of the wrong end of the laser.
Sweet Jesus! Thank god for script kiddies -- else, what would the media have to hype up this week? Elian's over with, Timofonica isn't spreading beyond Spain, and Clinton's kept his dick in his pants, as far as the public knows... so what better than a brand new DDoS that may or may not exist, and may or may not demolish the commercial Internet as we know it?
Government intervention is obviously the solution. You are so correct -- what were all we free-thinking privacy advocates thinking? It should have been clear to us all along that there's less potential for harm with government intervention & contl than with security-smart sysadmins doing their jobs the right way. Duh.
I have no trouble viewing either page of code, and use IE -- my point, which you seem to have missed entirely, was that Slashdot has humongous, delayed-load tables, just like Bush's campaign site.
And it's followed by what may be the single longest table in captivity. So you sit there for hours (it seems) waiting for anything but a white screen to show up.
Has this guy done a review of Slashdot's scandalous HTML recently? Particularly the tables that put Bush's baby almost-tables under the table?
this whole issue is entirely corporate -- corpA trying to make money, corpB claiming that corpA's profit-making activities are causing corpB to lose money... and yet it all comes back to something that, at one time, had huge potential for the little guy... what happened?
these so-called "malicious" tags may simply be plain vanilla HTML tags that have been placed in a strategic location in the HTML stream, altering the behavior or appearance of the form or page in question.
so, you go ahead and write that script; I'd suggest you do so with the aid of a quantum computer, or maybe a beowulf cluster of [standard slashdot cluster humor here]...
nothing new here... the development community, and likely the script kiddies as well, has been familiar with this issue for a while... so why the advisory now, particularly?
You probably started out on the 'board and only started using ergonomically designed input devices at a later point in life, am I wrong? Keyboards are designed to enter textual data into a computer... joysticks are designed to translate actual physical and locational information into a textual representation and interpretation of that data.
university of colorado rioted over a dry campus... can you imagine what could, (rightfully?) ensue if this remained in place, and/or became widespread?
[start deeper sarcasm]what could be next? banning MP3s from campus networks?[end deeper sarcasm]
ridiculous the amount of effort and money corporate sorts put into something that will be at best a temporary hack to satisfy their short-term, profit-driven motives.
Slashdot is not an extreme example, but is certainly _an_ example, to a limited extent, of just such a hostile community. Watch the flames come pouring in...
Windows95 rulez! Command line interfaces suk! I'd rather pop a kernel than patch it...
studies are beginning to point towards a relationship between time spent on the 'net and a loss of mental or physical well being... from experience, I can attest that high speed access in a college environment is like a drug -- you've got your gamers, your chatters, your pr0nners, etc. etc. etc. and the newfound freedom of college seems to encourage abuse of this access... is society as a whole headed for trouble, or, worst case scenario, a disaster, when the day comes that people prefer electronic contact over personal/physical... ?
Slashdot Mirror
But back to the fact that lasers are COHERENT beams of light, and as such, DO NOT SEEP ... ... care to deal with the reality of physics, Mr. Erikson?
Whoooeeee! Stick the pig, Pa, we're havin' dinner!

Jon, let me thank YOU for keeping ME amused at work. So when's the next binge of fearmongering?

quick, all you day traders, sell! sell! sell! tomorrow's gonna be hell!
I think so ...
somewhat went trollin', and guess who took the bait? you did, "moron."
Here at Xerox we're getting pounded ... people are such IDIOTS!

Where can I send money, ignoring the dinner?
... I want to make a difference with my money, not portray myself as one of the ilk responsible for the bs.
I don't need to hob knob and dine

replace computers? never. replace computers as primary gaming devices? absolutely.

hype hype hype Linux hype hype hype yup, same as always what happened to stuff that matters?
are these chips genuinely in the same market?
transmeta is more for devices, is it not? whereas Intel's processors are more for laptops? or am I off here?
