Seriously, someone needs to come up with some better categories for slashdot stories. I have been seeing things in this category in the past that didn't belong here, but this...
Your Rights Everyone here who is a japanese schoolkid, please respond to this post. Don't worry, I just want to know how many are reading this post. Anyway, we wouldn't get far with that RFID implant thingie anyway.
Online Maybe. But not really. It's not like they are going to be prohibited from downloading music or having their email read or anything.
Umm, alcohol is quite chemically addictive. People who are seriously addicted to alcohol (think Leaving Las Vegas) and quit drinking without supervision can die from the withdrawal symptoms. The DTs aren't a result of a psychological addiction.
During August, 67 per cent of all successful and verifiable digital attacks against on-line servers targeted Linux, followed by Microsoft Windows at 23.2 per cent.
I'm not sure if it is the same thing, but I saw a film (I think called "How Things Work") that was along those lines. As I recall, the setup filled an entire warehouse, and took over 4 hours to complete since some of the stages were chemical reactions which took some time to get going.
Since never. This is about desktop environments, not OSes. The others are listed by OS since there usually isn't much of an easy way to change desktop environments in those OSes.
A few years ago I was sitting on the roof of my building, on top of a bay window, playing a game of chess with my boss. His cell phone fell out of his pocket, and we both heard it hit the sidewalk below. He said he was going down to get it, and I said it wasn't worth the trouble -- it would be in a million pieces. He went anyway, and a few minutes later I got a call on my cell -- from his. Damn thing had only one small dent in it. Don't know the model, but it was one of the older Sprint PCS phones.
This is a great book, however it is not for beginners. It is more of a reference for the intermediate to advanced user. A book for beginners should not assume that the user knows anything about Linux (or computers in general, for that matter).
While this is all well and good, it seems what would be better is a local utility that would allow scanning of the system for executables, etc. MD5 Hashes can be computed, and the results burned to a CD. This will eliminate the problem of different hashes due to things like timestamps, etc.
Also check out Mixonic. The will do runs as small as one CD, and print your artwork on the CD. I've done it several times through them, and the printing quality is surprisingly good.
The use of the third-person plural pronoun they to refer to a singular noun or pronoun is attested as early as 1300, and many admired writers have used they, them, themselves, and their to refer to singular nouns such as one, a person, an individual, and each. W.M. Thackeray, for example, wrote in Vanity Fair in 1848, "A person can't help their birth," and more recent writers such as George Bernard Shaw and Anne Morrow Lindbergh have also used this construction, in sentences such as "To do a person in means to kill them," and "When you love someone you do not love them all the time." The practice is widespread and can be found in such mainstream publications as the Christian Science Monitor, Discover, and the Washington Post. The usage is so common in speech that it generally passes unnoticed. However, despite the convenience of third-person plural forms as substitutes for generic he and for structurally awkward coordinate forms like his/her, many people avoid using they to refer to a singular antecedent out of respect for the traditional grammatical rule concerning pronoun agreement. Most of the Usage Panelists reject the use of they with singular antecedents. Eighty-two percent find the sentence The typical student in the program takes about six years to complete their course work unacceptable. Thus, the writer who chooses to use they in similar contexts in writing should do so only if assured that the usage will be read as a conscious choice rather than an error. Interestingly, Panel members do seem to distinguish between singular nouns, such as the typical student, and pronouns that are grammatically singular but semantically plural, such as anyone and everyone. Sixty-four percent of panel members accept the sentence No one is willing to work for those wages anymore, are they? in informal speech.
I've had the same problems, mostly with sprint pcs. I've found that if you yell "I want to talk to a real person," and sound quite angry, it takes only a few seconds to get a person on the phone. Whether or not they're anymore helpful than the computer is left as an excercise for the reader.

Pseudoscience that matters.

They made a fake ear that actually allows people to hear, effectivly curing deathness
Effectively curing deathness, eh? I guess we don't need cryogenics anymore. Bring on the fake ears!

Not at all. With all the cash MS has in the bank, it is cheaper and easier to just pay up and move on. Simple business.
In 2101, war was beginning.

sorry, that was supposed to be "check here"
Data of former students *was* accessed. Even if you are a former student, you should check here to see if your SSN is in the range that was searched.
Since when is KDE/GNOME an OS?

C'mon, this thing is over 7 years old, and is clearly satire. It's not news, and it doesn't matter.
There's also a new trend in ERP -- Human Capital Management. Human Capital. Scary.

Still kinda cool, tho.

Texas is a huge flat land mass located in the southern portion of the united states. It borders the carribean...
uhh, since when does Texas border the Caribbean?

uhh, that'd be Sacramento, not Sacramnto or Sacromento.
I say we just offload all the extremists and morons onto Mars.
Maybe it's just me, but categorically sending people to Mars seems a bit extremist. Have a safe trip.
Get a bigger dick, and it should be easier. I've recieved several emails recently which sell pills that will add 3 inches in one month.
What's with the big HP ad in the middle of the article? Did I miss something here?
