MS: Oh yes, they were on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying Beware of the leopard.
It'll be SabreTooth (version 10.9) they'll have to worry about by the time Vista comes out.
What if I were to download "The Simpsons" from last nights free broadcast? I'm not uploading anything, just downloading and watching it, then deleting it after I watch it.
Of course, the irony of Bittorrent is that while its core idea of "distributed distribution" relieves server load it also turns every downloader into an uploader. You don't just share the work, you also share any legal liabilities.
I'd like to assume that when we're discussing nontrivial temperatures that only scientists deal with, we should assume that the scientific (i.e. Kelvin) scale is being used.
What you say is absolutely correct, but only in the context of research itself - not in a/. article summary where no specific figures ("billions") are given.
And what would you have people do? Lots of us DO email, write, and telephone our representatives. But no letter, phonecall, or email has even a fraction of the power that a $10,000 "campaign contribution" does.
Campaign contributions mean that political representation goes to those with the most money to donate. Democracy died long ago.
Well, Mozilla raised $250,000 for the New York Times Firefox ad in a matter of days. Just think what a $250,000 "campaign contribution" could do - if only we could all agree on a "message"...
My favorite system was the P2P "Third Voice", a browser plugin which let the user attach popup sticky notes to any web page, stored in a DB the plugin checked against the "background" page's URL. That way, P2P commentary could effortlessly appear right in the context being presented, without requiring cooperation from the provider of the target content. The project folded, but I welcome its return.
Wikalong is a Firefox extension which lives in your sidebar. You can annotate any page on the web and any Wikalong user visiting that page will see your comments.
Anyone can edit any comments and you can see all the most recent comments on a web-page or using an RSS feed.
Yes, this is going to be big. The Firefox sidebar becomes a shared space for notes and comments - every visitor to any given web-page sees the same set of notes and can edit them. Or roll them back to a previous version. Or view a list of recently-annotated URLs.
Indeed! I have received two emails from my building society which include the phrase A number of bogus e-mails are currently circulating in the UK encouraging customers to visit fraudulent websites where personal or Internet security details are requested. Halifax would never send e-mails that ask for confidential or personal security information and it is very important that you do not reply to these e-mails or click on any links within them.
Sensible advice and policy, except that it's immediately followed by this LINK: Please read our security section for help and more information.
higher C++ gurus told me that using all of the std namespace would bloat my code unnecessarily
Get new gurus. Putting using namespace std; into your program (especially in a header file) is regarded by some as poor style but it certainly won't "bloat your code".

What you say is absolutely correct, but only in the context of research itself - not in a /. article summary where no specific figures ("billions") are given.
What observable difference can you imagine between some matter at 1 billion degrees and the same matter at 2 billion degrees?
When you're talking about billions of degrees the temperature scale is pretty irrelevant.
... until the security issues of this new, attractive target for crackers have been worked through.
Or for /. ?

I can't disagree because there's no such thing as morallity. Did you mean morality?
I just installed it and took a look; two differences I can see immediately are :-

Almost unbelievable!

For the second time today Slashdot has posted a story which first broke last year (scroll down to December 21, 2001).
See here for articles from last year on this topic.
You're playing it right now, bud ..

I agree with you that Everything2 is not an encyclopedia, however, the Everything engine would be an excellent way to build something like GNUPedia.

That was today. At 11 am. Not very useful.
