No, I think it should be open sourced and made freely available under the GPL.

If you have read any single issue of any newspaper during the last year you must have seen that acronym
Some of us have not read a newspaper in the past year and for some of us Slashdot is our major news source. I don't think it's an unreasonable request to expand lesser known acronyms.

Wow, you're right. All this time I thought it was 'set us up the bomb', but after checking the bible you're right, it is is 'set up us the bomb'.
Someone should go back and moderate my previous post -1 Idiot.
Thanks. In all seriousness I thought it was some type of spam and I was trying to figure it out. The best I could come up with was Wonderous Money Deal.

Maybe the US should bomb everybody whose email is stupidly secured like that?
I think you mean the US should set him up the bomb.
I use Chase for a few credit cards and USBank as a primary checking/savings bank and I have had no problems with Mozilla (on Windows or Linux) since about Mozilla 0.8. I don't even have to turn on user-agent spoofing at all.
To make banks listen you have to speak in the only language they know: money. If their site doesn't support your preferred browser, close your account and make sure you let them know it's because they don't support you. Then just find another bank that does, it doesn't sound like it would be all that difficult.
No, because I hold a patent on coding. If you're coding, you should contact my lawyer to discuss licensing fees and terms of payment. He can be reached at 1-800-I0wN-j0u (1-800-409-6508).
did you bang your head against the wall, and in that case for how long, when you realized that you'd have gotten #111111 had you been just a little bit quicker?
Hehehe, no, I didn't bang my head against the wall at all, I think my id is cool enough and just as easy to remember as #111111 just because it's so close. The only thing I might have regreted is not signing up for an id much sooner and gotten a 5 digit id since I had been a regular slashdot reader for almost a year before signing up for an id so if I hadn't waited that long I could have got a coveted 5 digit id <sigh>.
That's because they weren't posted to the main page, but you can find them in the Developers section. If you want to get developer related news such as this, then I recommend setting up your user account to display the 'Developers' slashbox on the side of the screen, because not everything in that section makes it to the main page.

haven't had a catastrophic disease like HIC deicmate our population
I was picturing an entire population of humans dying of HICups. *HIC*....*HIC*....*HIC*...<collapses on the floor>, "Well Billy Bob, it looks like anuther one died of that ach eye see virus."

Kinko's is a full-service copying/printing store that has tons of stores all over the US. Their stores also have computers that will sometimes have internet access, but they're primarily used for printing out word or powerpoint documents on high quaility laser or color laser printers.
The prize this year is $1000 and a trip to the conference
Actually, if I recall, they will only provide transportation and registration for the conference to students, not professionals. So if a professional won the second place prize at $250, it wouldn't really be in their best intrest to claim it since it would require a plane ticket to the conference (~$200), hotel for two nights $119*2=$238, and conference registration $350 (non-member price), which comes to a grand total of $838, so even if they won the $1000, they would only come out ahead by $162 which wouldn't be worth the vacation days necessary to take the trip anyways.
(Note: The prices for the conference registration and hotel rooms were taken from the conference website)
I've been curious, I have an old standard Athlon motherboard (Socket A), and I wasn't sure if it would work with a new Athlon XP processor, or if I would have to upgrade the motherboard too. I thought I remembered reading an earlier slashdot article a while back about motherboard incompatibility, but I wasn't sure. I would just like to know so I can budget a new motherboard, if necessary, in my computer upgrade in a few months.
Hence why I said it could be stored that way, but as you pointed out, it doesn't have to be. I don't know why VS doesn't do it, but there might be a plugin for it, however, I doubt it'll be natural/seamless, maybe like having to run a macro upon opening the files, instead of being automatic, etc.
Along these lines, I agree. My general argument is that the storage of the files should be independant of the way it's viewed by my editor. Just some small examples: 1) It shouldn't matter if the file has spaces or tabs, but if I like seeing things indented 2 spaces, and the guy next to me likes seeing it indented 4 spaces, then when I open the file, I should see 2 space indents and when they open the file, they should see 4 space indents. 2) If I like seeing pointers declared: int* a; and they like seeing int * a; then when I open the file I should see the former and they should see the latter. 3) If I want to see: for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
cout << i; } and they want to see: for (int i=0;i<10;i++) {
cout<<i; } etc.
I hope I'm making my point clear that the way code is seen by each person should be a property/configuration of their view, not related to how the physical file is stored on the disk. That way when I'm looking at someone elses code it won't matter how they format it or if they mix tabs and spaces for indents and I have my tabs length configured differently it won't look terrible, etc.
The cpp file could be stored in some flat XML/HTML format as long as each view knows how to display it for each person, is all that matters.
We probably won't be getting the beer machines here
Actually the previous company I worked for had a vending machine that dispensed beer (MGD and Icehouse), it was right next to the coke machine, and it didn't check id. The name of the company was Rockwell Software, but I'm not sure if they still have the machine or not, it's been a few years since I've worked there.

I think it means that you now post at +2 by default, but if want to just post at +1 you can check the no +1 bonus.
Obfuscated Perl contest WTF?
As if one would even have to try to make perl code obfuscated? How about a legable perl contest? I'm sure that would be much more difficult.

Since the show sucks now that they killed off Daniel. Oh well, it was good until then. I'm guessing this will probably be it's last season.

This would put you in the ~40% of the slashdot population that hates that word. I admit, I hate it too, such a stupid word.

No, because emacs sux and vi rules. And I will never give in to the dark side of emacs.

int* a;
and they like seeing
int * a;
then when I open the file I should see the former and they should see the latter.
3) If I want to see:
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
cout << i;
