If you were a REAL hacker type you'd get one of those USB nerf turret thingies, and a Kinect, and write a program to scan for your cat's heat signature and blast it every time it comes nearby. (or maybe a $10 spygear motion alarm would be cheaper, but nearly as cool)
FYI, that 1969 number is what you get when you take a null date value, then pass it through a date_format() function. At least that's how it comes out in php, and I'm sure it's the same here....
So my guess is, since those pages are all date ordered, those are stories that over time managed to get their dates deleted. They probably happen at random times in the last 13 years, just some error somewhere that cleared the dates.

I do have extra money to spend, but I wouldn't waste it on this.
I don't consider myself a guru, just a mediocre linux/windows sysadmin, and a passable LAMP programmer.
Oh, and I don't know if it helps or hurts that my UID is only 4 digits. For reference for all you 7digit peeps, I'm 34, and I'm guessing I got this UID somewhere around '98 or 99.
Went to subway (in ALABAMA NO LESS) last week to get my kids lunch. They've pulled soda and chips off the kids menu. When I pressed the manager on why, her words were "It's not a law yet, but Mrs. Obama is working on it, so we went ahead and made the change"
Now, granted, this isn't the same as completely denying chips and soda to kids, but it has the same spirit. I'm a responsible parent. My kids eat their green beans, broccoli and carrots. If I want to give them a treat every now and then, it should be my choice. Not Mrs. Obama's.
Amen, I've been on my own personal quest for the last year to educate 'the world' about the confusion here. Net Neutrality != Fairness Doctrine. That's the subject line for quite a few emails I've sent to Glen, Sean and Hannity's inbox (gets ruled to trash I'm sure!)
I keep trying to explain that NN is a business issue with technical parts. It's not a social issue as they say. I can personally vouch for Beck, as I listen every day, that he has this confusion, deliberate or not. It usually goes like this: "Today, we're going to talk about Net Neutrality. This is where the socialist libs want to force us to put their content in our media"
Now, with the statements you have above from the WH, where they are blending NN and FD... If these two things DO get put together in one bill, a bill with Fairness Doctrine and Net Neutrality rules, I'm going to swap sides be firmly against it.
the gubbermint is taking away our desserts! Ebil ebil gubbermint!
The first part of your post was just noise. It was the end of it that mattered. The government is telling us what we can't eat now. Which is just another way of telling us what we are allowed to eat. HELLO?! Doesn't the government control us enough already?
I've taken a survey of everyone who appeared to have read the article and came back to post. My scientific observation is that it has made you all Stupid.
A new survey of American voters shows that Fox News viewers are significantly more misinformed than consumers of news from other sources.
Come on, give me a break.
misinformed, nor mislead, does not mean your LITERALLY STUPID. It doesn't even necessarily mean your naive. It just means that you've been misinformed. Many of the designers for the first atomic bombs were mislead by the govermnent about their exact purpose, does that make these guys LITERALLY STUPID? No, it doesn't. People are misinformed every time you turn around, all day long. It doesn't make them stupid.
Perhaps people who believe that Obama was not born in the US are more likely to be watchers of fox news, not the other way around?
The flame war should be towards you for posting such drivel! This is neither news, or for nerds. Here's an idea, why don't you just replace your news feed with one from Huffington/Politico, since it appears that's the way you want to go.
Oh I forgot about that. before I found the cheats I raised my running (I think it was) by moving my char into a corner, placing something heavy just right on the keyboard, leaving the game going and then left the house for a few days. Boy was I fast when I returned.
because you're like me and spent way too much time playing?
And if you're really like me you got kinda bored that it was dragging on so long, you went and got the cheats to make you uber strong, and could fly, and then went around attacking the god at the end?
Well, I live in alabama. I have a garden. I have a good excuse to order 50 lbs of fertizlier.
Now what was really probably a bad idea was just now before I started writing this, I just looked up fertilizer bomb on google, then read about it on wikipedia.
Let me just add a few keywords here to make this a complete post.. I can see their sensors going crazy now.

I'm sure PETA is going to have a cow. You know they're not just about EATING animals. Ethical Treatment and all!!! Is it ETHICAL to STEAL energy from an eel without asking it first?!
Hell, they're not happy you even HAVE an eel. Much less are forcing it to move around so you can harvest it's energy.
I can see a bunch of naked protesters between aluminum panels trying to power lightbulbs now.
This is going to stink! For years we've used the phonebooks at work as monitor stands. Most of our monitors do not have height adjustable stands, so when we end up with 2 different sized monitors they don't line up AT ALL. A few phonbooks later and all of our top edges are the same the same along all 4 monitors.
Seriously? Obviously it's not going to work with VOIP, but you've had a POTS line that didn't work when the power was out? Not a cordless phone... needs a power receiver. Just a simple ol' phone plugged into the wall.
The phone system runs on 48v, it's always there. There are some variances, such as when it rings it goes up to 90v. I'm surprised fewer people haven't tried to tap this power source.

from the summary:
facilities where children congregate for those sex offenders
know, I'm pretty sure this is a comma placement issue, but if not, just WOW.
We sure are making it easy for sex offenders these days... But if that causes it to call the police, is that entrapment?
Odd.

I've seen a few 3 digits, and even a 2 digit from someone who wasn't /. staff.

Just teasing, I had to look it up to be sure.
And I'm no bio person either.

sorry for switching topics temporarily, but it you actually take it up to 120, or was that the number on the spedo.
I've been in an insight before. At 80 I began to fear for my life. Those low friction tires don't exactly grip the road, even in a straight line.

Wow, you're just full of observations there...
You seem to ignore the obvious point that MSNBC/CNN/Huffpo/mediamatters/Politico lies and makes things up. That's the big point here.
The only fact is that ALL news organizations are going to be biased.
I've taken a survey of everyone who appeared to have read the article and came back to post. My scientific observation is that it has made you all Stupid.
Oh, I was fully aware of what he was referring to. But I think he may have actually read the article, and it's made him stupid.
Study Confirms That Fox News Makes You Stupid

I wouldn't call /. a news agency, more of an aggregator... But yeah, this story is obviously a troll.
