And I know you're an anonymous coward, but correcting me on the use of the subjunctive verb mood in the protasis of a hypothesis statement will not, ultimately, fill the void in your soul:)
So true. I accidentally shattered one once by pressing it with a rocking chair. The plate split into shards, but since it wasn't from a drop, they stayed in place. It was so impressive to look at, I got the SLR and spent an hour photographing it.
I don't remember one of nursery rhymes...I think you may be referring to the works of James Finn Garner. I had "Politically correct bedtime stories" and "once upon a more enlightened time", and they were excellent. If there was a nursery rhymes one that I just missed, that'd be great.
Too long; didn't read. Repeating the same mission statement 3 or 4 times with minor modifications doesn't make for a terribly great article. Generally, mission statements shouldn't even be expressed the first time around.
Wow. I walked right into that. I am in awe. Whether or not it was your intention, this is without rival, the most insightful comment I've ever read on Slashdot.
Yes, that works just fine for my setup in my house, where I bothered to setup and tack down those cables. But going to random friend's house, and having to dig around the back of their TV to plug in a (in my case, S-Video) cable to play vids off my laptop HDD is a huge pain. It'd be wonderful to see a standardized wireless video receiver integrated into TVs someday. Costs could be driven down to the point where it is no more of a big deal than adding a 802.11 chip to a smartphone design. I've been wishing for exactly that for about 3 years now.
I'm amazed it took 8 whole minutes of comments for someone to utter this, and more amazed the article wasn't already tagged as such. I really hope they don't put too much of a dent in things; I'm rather fond of SVG.
...but he's right. "the algorithm is almost never the weakness in any security system" it's social engineering, and buffer overflows, and small keysizes and lots of other exploitable vectors. I fail to see the need for this sort of staw man argument.
I've been refactoring a miserable Big Ball of Mud codebase for the last four years. It's only now just starting to become readable/maintainable, and that's possibly only because I might be starting to loose my mind. I think you put too much faith in these language aware tools of which you speak.
Yes, we all know about "Job Security". God I hate it when people who aren't me do it. They move on to a bigger and better job, but don't bother to fix the their code before escaping.

Saving power by way of second by second switching? I know it doesn't really apply, but Maxwell's Demon comes to mind.

"I didn't expect some kind of British journalist!"
*danger chord* "Nobody expects the British journalists! Our chief weapon is surprise!!"
and so forth.

It is a myth that VHS won over Betamax because of the porn industry.
No way this could be true. I'm pretty sure if it was a myth, then this would have been confirmed by now on Mythbusters.

Please do not Bondo my shuttle. kthx.
Hardware patch. Specifically, I believe they are referring to an inanimate carbon rod. ("aww, they were about to show some close-ups of the rod!")

"The women in the study, who were all pairs of identical and non-identical twins, were asked whether they had a G-spot."
"If one did exist, it would be expected that both identical twins, who have the same genes, would report having one."
STAND BACK! I'M GOING TO TRY PSEUDOSCIENCE!

Holy crap, the plot of the movie Primer suddenly makes sense to me!
Huh? The villain from Rescue Rangers?
(upon reading it, I apologize for this comment).
...What makes you think I wasn't aware of this?
But with the blast shield down I can't even see! How am I supposed to fix IT issues?
World peace by getting all the mal-adjusted geeks money and girlfriends? That's the stupides....Actually wait, I kinda like that.

If managing were as easy as reading a guage that said "PRODUCTIVITY", you might as well get rid of the expensive managers and have a monkey read it.
Oh, so you've met my manager! (Hopefully he isn't reading this. If so, then, uh, lol j/k!)

Rope is cheap. Home Depot is a dom's best friend :D

Of all the boobie-laden media out there you go with an oldschool anime reference? I commend you.
