Where I live you are practically forced to hang 3' off the bumper of the guy in fron of you just to keep the selfish bastards who WILL cut in front you you at bay (funny how they nearly all drive SUVs or BMWs). I'd love to mount one of these behind the grille of my car...
Getting ads you don't want is a betrayal of the customer.
Exactly. Somebody needs to whack these morons with a cluestick. If I've gone to the trouble to avoid watching advertisments, you ramming them down my throat anyway is going to endear me to your company and make me want to buy your products...how exactly? Personally I will actually go out of my way to avoid purchasing stuff because the advertisments have pissed me off.
I just blackhole the ports that kazaa et al uses and there's no problem. Sure the few remaining Win98 users could install it (the W2k users aren't allowed to install anything), but it won't do 'em any good...
Did you know hurricanes increase strawberry Pop Tarts sales 7-fold?...and if you needed a 460 TB data array to tell you that then you're too stupid to live.
The movie industry has also tried to battle piracy by running ads in movie theaters and elsewhere designed to dissuade people from file-sharing films by stressing the risks of identity theft and liability.
I remember seeing these ads in my local theatre...one came right after an ad for one of the local broadband providers advertising that I could "download stuff faster". Imagine my confusion.
Remember that the world does NOT subscribe to the American idea of freedom and democracy. There are rights we have in the US that you do not in other free countries, and rights they have that we do not.
The Earth's rotation has a completely-negligible effect on the outflow.
I take it you don't watch The Simpsons...
Bart: "Do the toilets go backwards in here?" U.S Embasy guy: "No. To combat home sickness, we've installed a device that makes them swirl the correct American way." *Flushes toilet. Machine kicks in and water swirls the other way* Homer (weeping, singing): "Sweet land of liberty..."
...the Soviets, who were technically proficient in their own right (and definitely proficient enough to uncover such a brazen fakery if it existed), would've been all over the Yanks like a cheap suit, rubbing their noses in it!
Yes, genius, tens of millions of Africans are being poisoned by the antiviral drugs they're not taking.
Gee, ever heard of Famine? Ever heard of unsanitary conditions? Dirty water? Did you know that malnutrition will result in a false positive from a test for HIV?
You'd be in prison if you cracked his skull with a maglight too!
At this point, my concern is self-preservation, not adhering to the niceties of the law.
And if he had been empty-handed, I probably would have simply locked the doors and let him bash his hands bloody on my car, while calmly dialing my phone...
You've also hit upon why I carry a Bronx Calling Card, aka 3-D-cell Maglight, in my front door pocket.
Fuck that! Wait 'till he gets out and hit him with your car!
I once had some angry asshole get out of his car, wanting to fight after I expressed my outrage at his piss-poor driving. He got out and came towards me, so I just backed up a little to give myself room to swing and gunned the engine. It was amazing how quickly he clued in and scuttled back into his car!
Slashdot Mirror
If you apply to any job without having at least one other person proof it, you're insane.
Then who proofs the proofer's CV?
Where is the Slashdot author? Or the Cowboyneal feeder? Or the Slashdot Moderator? Or the Slashdot story submitter?
These have nothing to do with science at all...they're more like religious customs or observances.
I think I still have a copy of Microsoft Bob somewhere...believe it or not, it'll run on XP! :P
No kidding.

There is no government encouragement to drive a gas-guzzler under this taxation plan...
You're wrong. There's a huge bloody tax-incentive to go out and buy a Hummer because you can write it off as "equipment".

The two 8.4 meter (331 inch) diameter primary mirrors are mounted with a 14.4-meter center-center separation.
Nobody's eyes are that far apart.

Nice troll!

You are free to use any methods necessary, but I want them alive...no disintegrations!

Excellent. Let's get busy and Slashdot it...oops too late!

I'm an amendment-to-be, yes an amendment-to-be,
And I'm hoping that they'll ratify me.
There are a lot of flag-burners,
Who have too many freedoms,
I want to make it legal
For policemen to beat'em.
'Cause there's limits to our liberties,
At least I hope and pray that there are,
'Cause those liberal freaks go too far.
Or better yet, use an XP disk with SP2 included. It doesn't matter what media is used for the install, as long as the box has a license somewhere.
OF course a $50 NAT firewall/router will render this whole discussion moot.
...turn their firewall off and use a NAT router.
Who gives a shit about pro sports anyways? I cannot think of a more useless waste of time than sitting down and watching an NFL game.
But I guess the joe sixpacks have to be kept distracted while their government ass-rapes them.

You mean like...oh I don't know...the 9-11 Commission Report?
