239 of them are male, and the 1 potential "other" has a mustache.
Anyway, joking aside, have you seen kids today in a net cafe or Starbys ? Even when they're there with friends, they don't talk to each other, they IM each other via Facebook.
You first. The entire American Dream was founded on vigilantism, from Colonial times right up to the present day.
Try reading up on the Regulator Movement, or the Montana Vigilantes whose last victim was hanged because he expressed an opinion that previous men might be innocent, or the Ranch Rescue in the southwest, who evict illegal aliens. Not to mention KKK and all that.
Not forgetting of course the per capita gun ownership stats. Guess who's number one on the list with a shocking 90 handguns per 100 residents ?
You all still believe you're in the Wild Wild West. Sort out your own house first, then you can come back and preach to the rest of us.
Correct definition, reversed usage. What I meant was...
THEY are being cynical, because they don't *really* believe people are going to print the article, people are simply using it as a way to bypass the advertising real estate and 11 page loads to read 11 paragraphs.
So they hide it behind a registration / login page, even if you manage to read the review without having to endure the ads, they'll still get their pound of flesh by selling your email addy anyway. It's not a "member benefit", it's a way of catching you on the way out if they haven't already caught you on the way in. Something like Jehovahs who camp outside your letterbox all Sunday, knowing you'll have to go out sometime.
I'm sure the loading times of all browsers would be faster if the "article" wasn't spread over 11 damn pages...
Perhaps they could run comparative tests on ad-blocked and flash-blocked vs vanilla spam versions ?
And am I the only one who finds it fucking cynical in the extreme, to force you to surrender your email address just so you can use the printable version and skip the advertising crud ?
MySpace is wise to do this kind of testing and load balancing. You never know when a person might attempt to connect to the site, throwing their carefully laid plans into total chaos.
iPhone has more software than Android, hence more options.
We are the iBorg. Resistance is Futile. Your culture will adapt to service ours. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. And then after a period of time, we will nerf your distinctiveness because it contains naughty words or functionality we should have provided in the first place, but decided to leave it till the next version so we could milk you for another $879 bucks.
You, an experienced Linux system admin, couldn't find a compatible keyboard?
So Linux, the system that has "more drivers than windows", actually doesn't. You have to find a keyboard that is "compatible" with Linux ???
Last time I looked, keyboards come with either PS2 or USB connectors, and so does every motherboard. What is so difficult that Linux cannot even poll a simple device like a keyboard ? Yet the underlying BIOS seems to have no problem ?
THIS is why it will never be the Year of the Linux Desktop. Apologists who come away with BS excuses like this.
Ummm, perhaps because it's a HOSPITAL and not a bloody internet cafe ? Does "better" or "worse" really matter when the most IE will be used for is to host custom written JAVA applets or ActiveX controls ?
And it will insist on printing a couple of full-color kidneys every time it is hard booted, just so you can waste more ink ^W^W^W align the heads again.
And considering most cars have both power assisted steering and power assisted braking, you'll suddenly find yourself in charge of an unresponsive monster, with a handbrake as your only hope.
Now for someone who's driven a long time, and has used cars without these "features", I could probably handle it. But "newbs" would probably finding themselves panicking, unable to handle the car and crash it anyway, before bringing it to a safe stop.
I'll have you know my mother invented timeshifting way before the VCR was even thought of. Every TIME a commercial came on the TV she would SHIFT herself into the kitchen and make a cuppa.
much of it from bitter people who for whatever reason cannot have an iPhone
You mean all those people with enough common sense to realise it's overpriced shiny crap ? They must be so bitter and twisted, having to live in the real world instead of "Jobs Worlds".
If it looks wrong to you, suggest that they change it, but for f's sake put it in your DB ?
Wha ??? No, no, a thousand times no !!!
First Name ? "Mr javascript:redirect_to_malicious_website"
Sure, let's put that in the DB, and hope to fucking christ whoever takes it OUT of the db and uses it on a webpage has the sense to escape it ???
If data is suspect, you never insert it into the DB. Passing on the responsibility to the output stage is no substitute for stopping the crap going in on the input stage.
Slashdot Mirror
An archive is a cache with no expiry time. Now who's dumb ?
Funny you should mention that, back in the 70's and 80's the police used to tell us that recording Registration Numbers of cars was illegal.

Or even worse, Carbon Dioxide, the Antichrist of the 21st century.
I think you accidentally a word ?
So that means I can go Skydiving, Rock Climbing, Horse Riding etc if I wear it ? I just hope they've fixed all the "leaks" ewww ...
Don't worry about it, once everyone is on all these lists, they'll no longer be able to single anyone out.

Because I am worth more than the 0.001 cents they will get for selling my email to spammers ?

And then when the OSS replacement DOES end up costing more, you can send another anonymous letter to the editor blaming waa for his overzealotness.

hahaha. I'm here all week.
Seems like much longer than that already.

Unfortunately, their customers have also been brainwashed into believing this. Something akin to Tom Cruise and Scientology.
Getting tired of kdawsons scaremongering bullshit.
Can we have it corrected please, the headline reads like it has already happened ?
