The last thing we need is technology that allows our wives to be able to figure out what we are muttering at them under our breath...
Oh, I forgot. Most geeks aren't married...in fact, most probably have no clue how to perform even the most basic intereactions with one (except of course when their mothers call down the basement stairs to them that dinner is ready)!
Disney is very liberal...at least senior managment is! They decided that having pirates chasing women in Pirates of the Caribbean wasn't PC anymore so they have them chasing men now!
So the bastards at London Drugs, who have been tacking the levy on at the register have been ripping their consumers off! Good to know! Not that I buy components there anyway as they are usually out ot lunch when it comes to pricing, but still! Has anyone pointed out to them that they can't charge the levy at the register?
Spelling/Grammar mistakes in the body of the article is one thing, but damnit that one was in the headline! It's ironic that some of the casualties of the so-called "Information Age" have been grammar and spelling...the very tools we use to convey our information in a clear, concise way.

IT Certifications Summary
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
You need both...the certification to get the job, and the experience to keep it.
When I started working in IT support, despite having MS' "defacto standard" MCSE certification, I didn't know shit. Took 6 months to a year before I was actually useful. Today, I'm pretty much platform neutral and choose to base my recommendations on what the client needs and not what MS says will work (they are often wrong). I still have all the MS books and have hardly touched 'em after passing the exams. I prefer to find answers on the 'net that have been posted by people that actually have real-world solutions, not just what the book says.
Exchange may have it's faults, but I've seen virii spread with equal rapidity via Sendmail. If you want to blame something, blame Outlook. Or more correctly blame the default settings to which Outlook installs.
I could see French or Japanese Rock bands being into this sort of thing...
Note: I use the term "Rock Band" loosely where the French are concerned because everyone knows there's no such thing as a French Rock Band... What is the first thing a French Rock Band does when it gets together? Argues about what colour it's guitars are going to be!
(You have to be a guitar player to appreciate that joke)
And the the Japanese? Well there's Loudness (Roudness?) "Lock and loll!" Need I day more?
Sailing in 1,000-foot-long ships with nine massive junk-style sails, the Chinese also circumnavigated the world a century before explorer Ferdinand Magellan's epic journey, and reached South America.
Bullshit. Having fished commercially for a number of years and seen first hand what sort of mischief the sea is capable of I can say that with conviction. The first major storm they encountered would have ripped them to pieces. A 1,000 foot long wooden ship would flex tremendously and start leaking like a sieve the minute it encountered ocean swells and a storm would finish the job.

Somebody needs to remind the ENTERTAINMENT industry just what exactly their place is in the grand scheme of things! They've bent and twisted copyright laws and now they want to cripple every digital device under the sun, and for what? To protect Mickey Mouse cartoons and a few lousy movies??? NO! It's ENTERTAINMENT! It isn't something that actually matters that much! Yeesh, You'd think that it was a "national security" issue...like protecting nuclear secrets or something!
No Disney, you can't cripple all the computers. People use them to do things that are more important than a stupid cartoon mouse...like helping to treat the sick!

Slashdot Mirror
FreeVMS anyone?
He said the "instant recognition and appeal" of the "blank inside" format stems from "Intel's enormous investment of over a decade of time and money."
Somebody PLEASE find a prior use example of "(fill in the blank) inside", and kill this one dead! It needs to be stomped on!
Shakespeare had the right idea, though I would also add corporations to the list of things that need killing.

...be appearing on the "free" version of Slashdot?
...ow! ow! Why is everyone hitting me?

Until they under the same conditions:
1) create a protein
2) create a cell
3) make it a living cell.
Also notice that the headline used the word created?
Disney is very liberal...at least senior managment is! They decided that having pirates chasing women in Pirates of the Caribbean wasn't PC anymore so they have them chasing men now!
The problem isn't food supply, it's distribution.
...Operation Clambake (xenu.net) still comes in about halfway down in a search for "Scientology".
...Sorry! Thought they were demanding he remove pages from his site!
Move 'em (or more particularily the offending pages) to a location outside the US. Problem solved.
BTW does anyone have a mirror of the site with its "offending" pages intact? Maybe some of us should grab them before they disappear forever.
...Business 101 - try really , really hard to piss ON your customers!
Also, keep in mind that the new, proposed levies are just that -- proposed. It's unlikely that they'll pass with the current amounts.
Uhhh...you mean like the proposed GST???

Does that mean NOT pissing away hours each day on Slashdot???
Aww, shucks!

If you're going anywhere with a busy airport (like Hawaii) you can always follow the jet contrails!
