    The way it sounds to me: kid sees post on Slashdot. Kid "reports his findings" to some prof. Kid gets published for doing even less than a Google search, he just stole* the information from a /. post. *Stolen because he lied about how he got the information.

    You don't want people stealing from your store? Don't build mega stores where employees can't watch the customers, to make sure they aren't stealing. WAAAAH I WANT MY MEGA STORE. Deal with the cost of shoplifters, then.

    It's not surprising that you use your Apple product to look up homosexual and bestial pornography.

    I find that Hotmail works better in Opera than it does in IE. Who uses closed source, late to the game software like Trillian? Pidgin updates their protocols within a day, if it actually takes them more than a few hours. I'm glad Bill Gates made MS the company that it is. It drove real innovation. I'm glad he didn't make Microsoft the horrible company that Apple is.

    Oh, of course, the employee who scans millions of websites a day and adds the "bad" ones to a list did it. Your comment was so insightful.

    Who, exactly, is donating to the FSF on company time, and can't make his donation after work at home, instead? Stop making idiotic comments.

    Right on. I hope they win too! They'll get that whole dollar in donations they lost and the other dollar in punitive damages! Who the fuck is donating to the FSF on company time and why can't he do it at home after work?

    You can't afford to get your kid a bike? The kid could ride that distance in less than 30 minutes. 45 minutes at the most.

  13. Leave it to Americans to think that a young needs a triple serving of fatty food in order for the meal to be healthy.

    Protip: children don't need 3000 calories per day. In fact, nearly none of the population does, and most would be much better off with about the amount this little girl needs, 1500-1700 per day.

  14. You don't need dexterity. You put the sticks between your fingers and move your pointer up and down to grasp things with the sticks. It can be a bit painful to use them when you have carpal tunnel syndrome, though.

  15. 1) Peanuts aren't even healthy for you. They cause more issues than they solve, As in, they don't actually solve any issues, but cause more of them than none.

    2) Although banning peanut products from schools is retarded*, and the child with the allergy should learn to be careful instead of being a piece of shit retard for the entirety of his life, thinking everyone should cater to him, it is a danger that's become very widespread (1.5 million people, and increasing) thanks to the morons who feed their babies and young children peanut products (not the absolute cause, but it increases the chances of forming the allergy). *When the issue can be avoided completely by having a ban on such an unnecessary product, and having the ban known and advertised for over 10 years now, there's no reason why it shouldn't be implemented.

    3) If you don't actually know about peanut product bans in schools, I can only assume that you're either a foreigner from a country that doesn't have very good schools, a forever alone 40 year old virgin, or just mentally challenged.

    I believe you can find monitors of those brands with HDMI and other outputs. Just search around eBay.

    I've discovered your problem. Just so you know, "it just werks" was a slogan, not reality.

    The panel in the Catleap 120Hz is probably actually the same one in the Apple Cinema Display (this is one of the theories, anyway). Considering that the Catleap was selling for $350 incl shipping, you can see the massive markup that Apple adds, as it does with all of its other products. I can't say if they are available in Europe. You can buy these monitors in shops in Korea, though, and now in Micro Centers in USA.

    Catleaps are either sold out or, if you can find one right now on eBay, it's not going to be the 120Hz version, yet.

    Interesting. The Shimian and Catleap have been around for a few months now, at least, at under $350 shipped. Not only are they both 2560x1440 IPS displays, but the Catleap was able to do 120Hz, and a new set of 120Hz capable Catleaps are being produced.

    Sucks to be you.

    Those adults who couldn't read back then could perform any trade that existed back then, and could do the same today. They could perform those trades because reading has absolutely nothing to do with knowing how to do things, or being taught how to do them. Yes, that includes working with chemicals that can easily be labeled with something like an icon, like one representing its element (heard of the periodic table?). Why is it that you think humans are more mentally challenged than they really are? Don't get out much?
