Congratulations. You have seen the system work the way it is supposed to... once.I asked a cop for directions once, and while he was rude to me, he didn't physically assault me, so I believe all these reports of tasers are false.Tonight as I look out my window I see neither stars nor moon, so obviously all this talk of "space" is nonsense. After all, I've never been there, so it can't possibly be real.Just because you haven't personally seen the train wrecks doesn't mean there haven't been any.
I live in Phoenix.Doing a quick and unscientific test, the Phoenix Kijiji site has 37 for-sale listings posted for Saturday, Sunday, and Today.The Phoenix Craigslist site has 1200 for-sale listings in the last 45 MINUTES.At least for my location, I think Kijiji qualifies as an "Epic failure".
I think Kijiji is bigger in Canada, but I have no stats to back up my claim. Just speaking with friends and family. Even my non-technical family have heard of Kijiji and not Craigslist.
You forget you also lose space because you can't overlap windows. You can't win, mwah ah ha. In my opinion, a setup where the window doesn't move forward automatically when clicked and has sloppy focus is the best. The flexibility is phenomenal.
nonsense. The which hunt is not attack. Attack would be to get the picture and sent it to the judge, jury and everyone in the court room. That way they're all guilty if they "accidentally" get the picture on their computer.A friends brother left their computer with auto-accept on DCC and someone uploaded a kiddie pic on his computer. He also faced 25-years in prison. The judge saw past the prosecutors nonsense and put him on probation. But before that, FBI raided his house, and took computers and what not.T
How do you think you would feel if you were a 14 year old girl, have a 17 year old boyfriend, and you two have sex a few times (hey it feels good right?) and then sometime later, the cops take him away and The Government sends him to prison for a few decades and everyone says bad things about him and that he did a very bad thing to you. So who is scarring who for life here? If it was clearly consensual, maybe just let the minor decide whether it was rape or not, when the minor achieves legal adulthood.
If I hadn't already posted I'd mod that insightful.Seriously, your ISP's have been following dirty underhanded tactics the moment you signed up, by delaying your installation, lacking in support, not offernig you full speeds, and disconnecting you when you approach your full speed. Now, given that they are in it for the money, and ALL of your traffic is going through them - they have every reason to take your information and sell it. You KNOW they have your information because the police can demand that inf
Gotta disagree. Songs have gone from 1400 kbit/s CD songs to 128 kbit/s AAC songs.If movies underwent a similar downgrade in quality, instead of ~5 Mbit/s DVD movies you would have 0.45 Mbit/s streaming videos that people could watch in realtime on their computers, televisions, or iPods. We are now seeing that transition where people download their favorite shows or movies rather than drive to Walmart and buy the media.It had nothing to do with Hollywood or Bluray, but because until recently people didn't have the minimu 0.5 Mbit/s connections. Now they do.
Some of those computers date back to 2000 - sleep mode?
Also, as comments in this article point out, the techs were forbidden from rolling out a script that would have turned the computers off at night, as it was against school policy.
Read the comments - some are from people who worked there, some from people who live there. It looks more like the guy was fired because someone - Superintendent Denise Birdwell - wanted to polish her image.
You should probably re-read your article, because you forgot some things, like:- Taking computer equipment home (at least 18 computers and other equipment for personal use)- Downloading pornography- Inhibiting the teacher's ability to do work (SETI@home)- Increasing network usage (SETI@home)- Punching holes in the firewall to allow unapproved software to run (SETI@home, massive security risk if done improperly)- Generally not doing his jobThe very article you linked to says that it was SETI@home that tipped
I don't think this treaty would pass in the US Senate. I would forsee the unlikely coalition of far rightists and far leftists actually collaborating to defeat this, just as they actually have on some other things.
Do it. Make it into a law. It's called due ****ing process.The RIAA only worked with lawsuits now because they are all CIVIL cases.If people start randomly getting arrested without due process for no reason like the RIAA randomly does with potshots, there will be hell.Make it into criminal cases. There will be blood of executives on the streets, I guarantee it.
This may come off as a troll, but I'm legitimately curious:I'm from the US. I have an adequate understanding of various forms of government, including parliamentary forms, but Germany's constitution and government really just drive me crazy with lack of understanding. I think perhaps a big part of that is cultural and being raised in a country with different values. The idea that the president can't veto a law, and that the only checks against parliamentary power are the constitution itself kind of bugs me a little. The German system in general bugs me a little I suppose, because I place such high value in free speech and things Germany apparently values differently. I'm not saying one is better than the other, I'm just saying I don't understand.What I'd honestly like to understand is what the cultural differences are, and if anyone knows -WHY- they exist. Why is it that the US seems to have such a high value on free speech at least theoretically whereas Europe in general (Germany in particular) does not?Maybe someone who has lived in the US and Germany and understands both governments could just write up a brief opinion, because I'm trying to understand without being a "US Imperialist" and saying OH WELL THEY'RE JUST WRONG AND NEED LIBERATIN' but I'd like to get an insider's view.
The problem is, there are a ton of articles. The point of a summary is to provide enough information to help me decide if I want to bother RTFA. Having an interesting headline and a bad summary is just irritating. If the Slashdot editors want to make money selling ads, then they need to make the site useful and compelling. Irritating their readers is a bad business model.
Gentoo fills the same niche with the Linux kernel. And since when is Slackware not a complete distro? Perhaps you meant “Linux From Scratch”...P.S.: Please get your spelling right. It’s “niche”, “distros”, “BSDs” (second one only), and “develop for their developers”. Be happy that no grammar Nazi is close. With that amount of errors he would have ripped you to shreds. ^^

Creating a standard, expecting everyone to use it, then charging a license fee for it is _evil_.

Ha! That was a good one. No, really. You should write sitcoms for Fox. Besides, this was 15 years ago, it was still just JPGs.
