That website seems to be out of date. The International Earth-Destruction Advisory Board reports that the Earth has indeed been destroyed by the LHC in preliminary experiments to determine if the Collider would destroy the earth.
And to people with cat allergies, or who want a cat but can't get one, or whose cat just died, or who don't know what a cat is, or who simply like dogs better.
I think the GP was hoping that by the time his logged password was collected and used, he would have already changed the password on a different computer. Before the new password was logged and used, he again hoped to have changed the password on a different computer, ad nauseam/infinitum/leaving Peru.
That reminds me of a picture I have of a sign that reads, "WARNING: THIS SIGN HAS SHARP EDGES! DO *NOT* TOUCH THE EDGES OF THIS SIGN!" And below that text, in relatively small print, it says, "Also, the bridge is out ahead."
Trouble is...they way things stand as I understand it...even if you play ONLY indie, free music, you are still subject to SoundExchanges fees. I think they collect even for people not registered to them....the laws passed were pretty sweeping if I recall from older Slashdot discussions on this.
There's at least a 50-50 chance I'm wrong, but the way I remember those older/. discussions, you had to pay the set fees to SoundExchange unless you contacted the artist and set up a different license with them.
Whether or not the extra bit I'm remembering is correct, that's a horrible system.
It's the difference between customers playing the game and moving on, and customers playing the game, then wondering if that company has any other good games to buy, since they'd like to support companies who make games for Linux. Not all Linux-game-buyers would do this of course, but I'm sure some would.
It's on the top, and insists on staying at the top of the window when you scroll down. This hides a few rows of text when scrolling via Page Up/Down. On the rest of/., the filter can be anchored to the top of the comment section. That is the perfect behavior.
If the plane is going to hit the building at the right downward angle, and in such a direction that right behind the building is a runway, or, more practically, a wide street that has been emptied, you could theoretically blow up the building right before the plane hits it (but before the plane is too close). The plane would then dramatically fly through the falling rubble of the building, then slide to a stop on the road/runway without damaging the passenger area. Once it's stopped, SWAT teams could immediately board the plane and apprehend the hijackers.
As a variation, the plane might hit a large chunk head-on while passing through the falling rubble, eliminating the need for the SWAT team by destroying the cockpit before landing.
Agreed. I'll certainly be asking for my money back...
That's funny at first, but Google does make ad money off your use of Gmail (unless you don't use the web interface). Perhaps you could demand that money?
Men are far and away the #1 victim of assaults and murders and make up at least 40% of domestic violence victims, yet Congress passes a Violence Against Women Act.
40% of victims are men, so 60% of the victims should be women. Not the best statistic to show that men are targeted more than women.
A strainer and a 404 Not Found? I guess the gun can't put voices in your head if it can't find your head, but I'm wondering how this could be practically implemented.

There's just one problem with this analogy: the Internet is not a truck, it's a series of tubes.
Here at /., we understand things best when they come with car analogies.
I'd say you must be new here, but your UID is half of mine.
It's the only way to be sure.
Whatever happened to good old nuking from orbit?
Thats insensitive to people who hate cats!

So pretty much, the better your revenge-making capacities are, the less pure you are? Makes sense.

I'm curious, would a fifth choice be to uncheck the "Automatically check for updates to Firefox" option in the Advanced part of options menu?
MAFIAA Lawyer: Your Honor, the defendant's legal exemptions from copyright law do not make the defendant exempt from copyright law.
Judge: What the heck? Baliff, bring me my rifle. I'm worried.
MAFIAA: You can't shoot me!
Judge: If farmers can put donkeys out of their misery on the farm, I can with asses in my court room.
But Flash can't open Klipper. I read the GP to say that the malicious Flash program can't read clipboard content to see when you copy a url.
how many sheckles a cubit of grains cost.
Isn't a cubit a measure of length? I think you meant cubic cubits.
I'm not sure what makes them think this is a good business choice.
Maybe they're unfamiliar with the concept of "you can't squeeze blood from a turnip", so they're thinking they can squeeze money from turnip blood?

but each one of them bought the PC version instead, so the publishers gain nothing by porting it.
Except customers who are happy that they don't have to reboot into Windows to play a game.
I wonder if the Chinese government is aware of MediaSentry's track record
(In Soviet Russia,) I wonder if MediaSentry is aware of the Chinese government's track record?
No, the Chinese government wonders if you are are aware of MediaSentry's record.
Or is it, MediaSentry wonders if you are aware of China's record.
Maybe, MediaSentry is aware of the Chinese government's wondering about you (or about your track record?)
Aw, forget it. In Soviet Russia, MediaSentry track records YOU!
The people in the airplane can't be saved.

Some of those pictures would look really nice as a wallpaper if they were higher resolution.
You want the nation's space fleet designed by drunk people? My problem senses are tingling.
Someone should get an ass-kicking for this.
Agreed. I'll certainly be asking for my money back...

You need to compile them first.
Because no one will notice that their freakin' operating system got changed.
