So, my message to Adobe is instead, "Thanks a ton for finally getting native 64bit flash to us". We complained for ages, and they finally listened:)
+1 I'm just glad to have 64-bit Flash. The bugs I've noticed have been minor, and I've informed Adobe of them. Hopefully they will be fixed for the final release.
Please fix your flash plugin. Seems that once a day if I go to a page with considerable flash (which is most pages these days), the browser will crash and when I examine the crashfile, it's *gasp* always you. I've reinstalled flash and FF 3.0.6.....

Forget tracing back through the network -- find out where the money is going. You have a many-to-one relationship, it's unlikely this guy is smart enough to launder money effectively
When you are talking about stocks, laundering the money is easy. Simply buy some options in a particular stock with your own money and have your botnet purchase that stock with other people's money. If your botnet makes the trades quickly enough (it probably will) the stock's price will go up and the value of the options will follow exponentially. Sell the options near the top and reap the rewards.
They will never find this person among all of the trades on Wall Street.
Your post raises an interesting question. If these scientists are conducting the first ever survey of its kind, what will they compare the data with? Do they plan on repeating this survey for several years?
Recent crossings in record times of large snowfields and even Greenland have been accomplished through the use of snowkites.
Unlike a car, you don't have to worry about fuel, and you can still cover 50 miles per day. Plus, snowkites have the ability to jump over crevices motorized vehicles can't cross.
Yes, civilized nations with long histories keep records going that far back.
Apparently, none detailed enough to include details of the ship's armament. It's also possible that Her Majesty's Royal Navy launched another ship with the same name after the first one was lost at sea. The US Navy does it all of the time.
However (and this is just me), if you can confirm that they're definitely going to give you the bad reference, it's not going to hurt you to pack your things *today* and walk with no notice - it *is* an at-will state, after all.
I would inform them of my plans to do so before hand. Maybe they will reconsider and back down.
The author of the article concludes it by saying English gun founders were 50 years ahead of their time...
It's also interesting to note that this technology was kept so secret, that it wasn't discovered until today.
Just out of curiosity, how are they sure of this ship's date? All of these discoveries could be explained if the ship was 50 years younger than currently believed. Radio carbon dating the wood will only tell you the date the lumber was cut, not the date the ship was built, or refitted.
No good. Likely, some guy who looks like that guy from Remington Steele would stop you with the assistance of one or more lovely ladies and some high-tech wizardry, all-the-while drinking martinis.
There goes that idea... to the scrap yard with it then!
What if I didn't put them as a Museum? Instead, I'll use them as part of my dastardly plot to steal missiles from a British vessel lost in the South China Sea due to tampering with the GPS signal. Then use those missiles to provoke a war between China and Great Britain.
I once worked at a radio station. Unfortunately, that song was in the rotation, along with "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go." The rest of programming was actually pretty good.
What happened was the lines are where boats made measurements using sonar, and the blank spots between the lines are areas the boat didn't go.
It actually looks like results from side-scan sonar. In which case the lines are a result of where the boat did go, as this type of sonar does not look directly beneath the boat.

I thought that replying to the first post was a sign of horrible UI decisions.
Yes, the third post should never appear to be the 100th. I've had many 3rd posts end up half way down the page. *sigh*

You're making a critical assumption -- that this guy is financially savvy, not just technically savvy.
You don't have to be financially savvy to know about pump and dump, it's the plot of a stupid movie.
Besides, why would this person target stock trading websites and not banks?

When you can sail?
So, with all of the major electronic components in the monitor, what keeps it from falling over? Is there a lead brick in the bottom of the keyboard?
Yes. It's called a battery
If this is true, I want to know how they get electricity from the keyboard to the tablet with no wires.

But the builder in me would rather build something out of a nice hardwood or plexi-glass. (Depending on the decor of the house).
I found some nice art deco examples here.
Come on! That was funny! I don't see how the parent post is any more of a troll than the other posts on this story.
Fixed it for ya!
but I've heard that his rebellious behavior is a response to his extremely conservative upbringing.
I think when all of us read the title, we imagined Abby from NCIS. Upon discovering what the book was really about, we were disappointed.

If they want to play hardball, play hardball too.

Do you think they will still let me have it?

If it's so bad, why do you know it so well?

I guess suggesting FireFox or Opera is too big a leap for an established corporation.
I don't understand what it is about corporate environments and IE6. My company's IT department forces everyone to use IE6.

The system would come and go, would come and go-oo-oo...
On behalf of the entire Slashdot community, I thank you for getting one of the worst songs ever written stuck in everyone's head.
