Oh, we do have a sense of humor, we are just willing to admit that our material isn't as good as the Simpsons. Plus, it's the first thing that came to mind.
The html there is so simple, no outrageous sizes, no nulls.
I agree that mozilla has a bug, but I don't think that IE is any better in the crashing on various input (now, if these are security threats.... that's another issue)
AVGVSTVS: How do you pronounce that name? Is it some sort of 133t speak or something? (the state of our eductation system and how they (don't) teach spelling is another issue)
Don't you read the newspaper? Don't you watch Fox News? Crimes are being committed EVERY DAY with guns, assault weapons, and other firearms. The police just have to step up their own tactics to combat these new criminals.
I for one would welcome a cop standing on my street corner. And if you have that, you also have to make sure you arm him and train him with the proper tools to fight the crimes he's going to be preventing.
Not that it invalidates your point, but I've use the built in Windows cd burning software on 3 modern computers, with 3 different name-brand (sony, hp) burners (one was a DVD±R) and I've never been able to get it to burn a disc.
It always looks like it's going to do something, but it never actually writes the damn thing.
Ahh, at least I'm not the only one here who sees the double standard.
Yeah, 'cause for a second there I thought you were the only one with that observation, luckily after all these years on slashdot someone had the guts to post what the grandparent posted! All of those Apple and Linux threads we've seen, and nobody has pointed out the double standard that exists among all slashdot users (even you, deep inside your heart)

The holideck was MADE for resorting to crap.
Once more with feeling (the Buffy musical episode) was creative and well done, and certainly if an episode is made for 'fans' of the show, then it can hardly be said that it was resorting to music.
It may have been amusing for the fans of the show, but most of the watchers couldnt stand it.
And if you're not a fan, why are you watching? By season 6 you either like the show of you don't, and if you just started watching, then downloading or buying the earlier seasons on DVD is the best way to get into the show. It's like watching only LOTR: ROTK and complaining about not liking or understanding it.
As far as I know, Giles was the only watcher made to sing and he stood up to it pretty well:)
Then the questions come up, can both partie's computers handle the game, do you have voice communication set up, will the game run reliably on both machines even though one has the VIA chipset with the Radeon card that needs a BIOS update to run well.
... Unless they're both macs, in which case you'll have stable machines but less games.
In fact, you are a fool if you install any kind of networked game on a machine you use for anything important: game programmers are unlikely to be attuned to security, and your bank account will be just as drained whether people break into your MS Money software through IE or through HL2.
I've never heard of anything like this happening. Do you have examples of a networked game being comprimised and exposing the users system to crackers?
I know some people are too stupid to read a post and react to it all by themselves. That's why we have the moderation categories (Insightful, funny, etc).
Sometimes a post will get moderated with the wrong label, and this just leads to confusion.
To clear the record, the offending post should have been moderated "Funny" (partly because of the pornography related joke, and partly because of the rest of the joke).
Slashdot Mirror
We USians in a society that threatens to throw its students in jail for 40 years for changing grades.
If your a young person. Consider moving to Canada.
Threatening to move to Canada... that's a paddlin'.These days a hello world program is far more functional and entertaining than that Ghostbusters game:

Why not do both? Play some perl golf.
Except that as others have posted, IE can be crashed on 100% valid XHTML (http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=126192&cid =10563636)

You should shut up about the US. People in the US have it much better than people living in third world countries.
It's many times more worse than the 1966 batman movie because the 1966 batman movie is actually good.
Coleman Francis was a master at what he did. My personal favorite is The Beast of Yucca Flats: "Man on the moon....Push a button, something happens"
No, they just wanted to prep you for the resolution that you're going to have to run the game in.

Crow is right though... If more people had "sidearms" then more people would rob banks and we'd STILL need a heavily armed soldier to stop it.
I live right near a bank, and I would gladly have to drive by a soldier guarding it than be caught in the crossfire.
Yeah, but he's bashing the US, so of course he's gonna get modded up.

That would depend on the books he reads.
OOOOO colored keycards! I hear they're adding new colors for this version. Gotta put that GeFxPlus card to use for something I guess.
Yeah, but VMWare only runs on IBM hardware.
I fail to see what's new here, except the fact that it takes place in the USA.
I think the emphasis is on the fact that this is a specific application of P2P (watching the government).
so authors like Charles Dickens were screwed by US publishers who just reprinted their books with no payment to him
I dug this /. post up from the archives (I didn't know the archives went back that far) regarding that whole Dickens issue:
You know, Europe isn't the whole world, just because you have laws doesn't mean that other countries have to respect them.

No, he's saying that backing up is like voting, most people do it every four years.
