of horrible urls. How will people still be able to understand URLs if the are horribly malformed? Soon, people will not be able to distinguish between a TLD and a domain and people will fall to cleverly constructed scams.
Also, no domain is safe. Everybody can now claim google.philly or google.hiphop and companies can do nothing about it(or start countless lawsuits). This is a bad idea and implementing this will cause the www to be more confusing than it is now.

This is what he means by massacre. The fact that you aren't able to read the 4 lines of his post doesn't make you insightful, it makes you a moron.
That's actually possible(and maybe even usefull). The goal would be to locate the oceans(seas is the more likely goal) containing the highest amount of pure(devoid of any kind of salt) water. And I bet that there have been countless of studies who have investigated this.
Nobody is going to disarm if another country still has nukes, that would be suicide. Furthermore, countries that possess nukes would still have the knowhow to produce them after the destruction of all of the nuclear weapons. That alone would create an unbalance in the worldpower, some countries can still make nukes if the situation warrants it and they can be produced in a year or 4(probably less) so any war with these powers would mean a re-arming of the nation involved and as a reaction a re-arming of all other nuke-capable nations.
Furthermore, some countries still rely on nukes as a deterrent like Israel. I just don't see them disarming, and my believe is affirmed since Israel categorically refuses to say anything about its nuclear capabilities which leads to the last objection to these plans. You can hide your nukes and feign compliance with disarming programs.
In short, it won't work and Obama is not believing his own words if he has any intelligence.
I believe it's not only because of the/.ing but mostly because the 1.0.2.0 version is out according to wikipedia. Posting a link here doesn't really help you know.
"Everyone one wins, light users pay less, heavy users get the bits they want for a reasonable amount, the company has the resources necessary to expand the network."
That's what happens if companies play nice.
What really happens: Light users pay exactly the same, "heavy users" will pay a lot more.
My proposition: do NOT oversell your capacity. You cannot sell what you do not have and if the network grinds to a halt, it's not the rightful users who are to blame.
I would love to see this happening. Alas, the 1st April is nearing and/. is to be taken even less seriously than it usually is.
If the IE team would support FF add-ons and the FF rendering engine I would personally send them a cake. Seriously. Here's to my vain hope that an MS exec will read this and think it's a great idea. Never take away a person's dreams.
To all the posters who think the parent is a bad mechanic I will tell you my anecdote: I have never had a harddrive fail. Never. Not on a fresh computer and not on a decade old one.
Either I have magic hands, harddrives don't fail that often or/.ers can't handle harddrives.
Or people can beat the odds. Chances, sometimes you win in a casino.
It's basically a blog for people who are not able to write enough good stuff for blogs.
"I just took a dump" and other messages are basically the essence of Twitter and I can do exactly the same on a random IRC channel.
Wikipedia on the other hand is more interesting because it shows what perception can do to people and how that combines to an article. I teaches checking the sources instead of simply copypasting your info(although some people still do that).
Twitter has none of those redeeming values and is outside the study of microblogs or something similar(like speed of information) a completely useless research subject.

They suck. I do NOT want to have sounds in my environment if it is not neccesairy. I simply hate the standard behavior of IE to produce audible feedback each time I click a link. I know I clicked the link and I know I pressed the key and I do not need the confirmation in the form of a click. I am not a retard and I do not wish to be treated like one.
The IBM model M is dead, game over and it won't be missed.
Slashdot Mirror
So, you send send a lot of 1-lined emails with Re: in the subject line? That's annoying.
Slashdot isn't e-mail and e-mail isn't Slashdot.
Welcome to Slashdot, you must be new here.
I only do this on Slashdot because they require a subject every time. The minute they stop doing that, I'll stop. Garbage system, garbage out.

I don't know!
waaarrggghhhh
You might as well put tl;dr in there.
Read very closely:

And yes, I like being pedantic.

Aren't these case disjunct because the ice-shelf is well... a shelf and not a cube. Doesn't that influence the change?

"It's just WWI and WWII where they fell down."
They WON WWI and WWII. Also, they have won a lot of smaller wars in the Napoleonic Wars. Too bad they tried to invade Russia, that never works.
Well, take a nap.

Achievement whoring, it has started.
I thought I did, but I didn't :( :)
If this is THE proper article I have the achievement now
also face with curly hair: @:|
"Days Read in a Row -- your largest number of consecutive days reading Slashdot "
I sense scripts coming up which frequent /. once a day.
It is a joke, they are apparently using computers with Windows if it is true.
gives you the april fools achievement.
I got it :)
I would love to see this happening. Alas, the 1st April is nearing and /. is to be taken even less seriously than it usually is.
