kdawson's posted stories, IMO, are not too bad and sometimes actually worth reading. I for one, am not filtering him out in my Slashdot Preferences.
I'd browsed the Firehose a few months back, and I was surprised by the sheer number of story submissions. It's a tough decision to pick the best ones for the day.
every time I hear wind power generation, it reminds me of Dune....specifically, the Dune PC games...where the main source of power were these wind turbines.
(yea, the old DOS based game...Dune II...man...classic...)
Those were wind turbines? Then the wind blew into the ground and... vanish?
In other news, scientists have named these 16 million old laughter as "True Laughter". In comparison, the human laughter is named "Hi Laughter", believed to be between 16384 and 262144 years old.
About 4 months before the shit hit the fan, the financial blogs I was looking at were predicting a banking crisis.
Newspapers are supposed to report current news, not make predictions.
Also, newspapers are easy targets for lawsuits, if they name any financial institution. Individual financial bloggers, on the other hand, are harder to chase after.
If these journalists are so professional and accountable and so on, where are they on covering the ACORN government-sponsored partisan politics? Hello, that's brazenly illegal.
I'm pretty sure the journalists themselves would love to cover these events. However, someone above them decides that these news and editorials are not as interesting as the next "<artist name> not wearing panties" news for Mainstream Media news.

Since you imply that few newspapers cover on ACRON, Washington, 60 Minutes... Since you are an AC, I'd hazard a guess and say that you don't read business newspapers. You were just commenting blindly regardless of the truth.
It should have been enough to show him the data was being stored in the DB.
My guess is, this client is quite particular about the program's look-and-feel, and would not tolerate a message showing "Data Saved" appearing next to the button.
Quite an interesting read. I think. I don't really read. Hey, hey, stop pinching me, I'll read it! Um, it says:
The probability of a monkey typing a given string of text exactly, as long as, for example, Shakespeare's Hamlet, is so tiny that, were the experiment conducted, the chance of it actually occurring during a span of time of the order of the age of the universe is minuscule but not zero.
I guess he has to "find his own path". He's obviously branching off the mainstream path (his friends and family), and going to find his own meaning for himself in his own world. (Everybody goes through mini versions of this stage at some points in their lives.)
Maybe ten years down the road, you can meet him up again and hear his story?
I'm still sorry to hear your story. Wish I have more comforting words for you. It sucks to experience what you've experienced.

But....spinach is evil!
Therefore, Popeye cartoons should be banned!
The router appears to glow in the picture.
Does that mean the router has biochemical reactions involving free radicals as well?
Someone call Greenpeace! There's a lack of environmental progress from router makers!

Can you tell us who that belongs to? I can't find it in AltaVista, Lycos or Webcrawler.
From: Mad Quacker (3327):
I'm surprised to see slashdoters' knee jerk reactions to this story. There's obviously a lot of technical details here that are missed.
You must be new here.
What, no helicopter sound?
Even NewYorkCountryLawyer has an interest on water on Mars...
I saw some motherboards with two 16-bit PCIe slots, separated by approx 6 cm. That appears to do the trick.
Crap! The joke fails badly here. Please mark me redundant. Thank you.

Also, this post from PMuse (320639): ... we will have a CGI farm pretending to be an actor pretending to be a robot pretending to be a man.

I seldom see pirated DVDs in Singapore nowadays. If I see anyone selling bootleg DVDs, it's always a surprise to me.
I think most of us who get pirated movies, do it via P2P.
Eek! Ack! Oop!

Oppps! Hee hee hee hee ....
Anyway, I mean they don't read replies when they leave nasty posts.
Thanks for your reply. :)
Usually ACs don't read the replies when they say such things. Do ignore such comments, they're motivation drainers.
Thank goodness for Slashdot moderators.
Your post made me do a web search and find this: Infinite Monkey Theorem

Do you have a response for another post beginning with "I think people should mind their own bloody business personally" (5, Insightful)?
