It's a great idea... until you read that "The bag might cost a hundred dollars but you can reuse it a hundred times, and by that time you'd be saving a ton of money". So yes, great idea... until kids start stealing them BECAUSE THEY CAN.
Also : Read the AC posts in any slashdot story and you'll be quick to agree : the world is filled with angry kids.
Actually, I think the point the OP was trying to make was something like... "Why not just explain it in a sentence or two IN THE F*SKING ARTICLE instead of linking a video or an external source".
Nah, I think the Toshiba was $1199 regular price. That's what my 'adjusting for sale price' comment was referring to.... I don't consider a $100 increase over $1200 that bad but hey, that may be a deal breaker to someone else. I don't usually buy Sony products (and I didn't intend to that day) but I was pleasantly surprised by this one given the bad reputation I hear from everyone.
You're right, a 10% price difference is insignificant. By the way, what's 10% of your body weight?
Hey, serious question, but what exactly would it take to put an end to Type 1? What are the steps needed to do so? How does the illness actually work? Ignorant would be polite, in my case, I know nothing of such diseases. And, I am curious. Maybe I can F/OSS one out in a program. =)
Wikipedia, for some basic knowledge before asking for others to do your "research" for you, would also be polite.
See if you can reproduce bugs. If you can, try to produce a reduced test case. Detailed bug reports are incredibly valuable. Taking a bug report that says 'foo doesn't work' and saying 'when given X input, foo crashes with this stack trace. Valgrind output is {attached}. Problem appears to be in bar.c, but I don't know enough to fix it.' is amazingly valuable.
This is great advice for the non-technical QA / User Experience Tester. Someone who likes IT, but can't be bothered to learn can stack their resume by contributing in this manner (and let the real workers get to it...)
Crowd-funding is how entertainment will work in the the not too distant future, as far as creators are concerned:
0) Start by making something good, although probably for free, thus starting to build a reputation;
1) Offer to do something, for money, proportional to your reputation;
2) Get funded by the crowd;
3) Deliver a good end result, and with it improve your reputation;
4) Loop back to 1 as much as you need or want;
5) Retire.
Copyright? What for?
Crowd funding is already what we do. They make a good game, you buy lots of it, they make a sequel. What you're talking about is cutting out the middle man (publisher/developer who lends them money) and doing it yourself.
I like to be derogatory to my servers and name them things like filth, slime, dirt, shit... brings up some humorous conversations, like "this server is shit!"
Note that the name I see isn't what my users see though (they are VMs with web clients), so no problems with management so far, but I did get a laugh out of an auditor.
You should start naming the servers after people you know. Thus, when bill (the print server) isn't working, you can loudly exclaim "Bill is such a jackass! He REFUSES to print my G-D 104e form for accounting". (yes, said jackass, won't say god-damn... oh FFS).
If your goal is "weight loss" then eating less is far easier and more effective than trying to burn it off at the gym. Going to the gym often makes you eat more when you get home - making it a waste of time.
(Yeah, I know it's heresy in the USA to say gym isn't the answer to everything...)
... Wrong. Eating less will only work for a while, and only if it is a moderate decrease. You burn most of your calories due to metabolic rates, and the best way to increase your metabolism is to build muscle. So no, you don't have to go to the gym. And cardio won't really do it for you either. But you do need to bulk up on your muscle mass.
Example - an hour of cardio will let you burn about 300-400 calories. Increasing your base metabolic rate by 10% will let you burn the exact same amount with absolutely NO cardio. So if you drop about 5-10% of your body fat and turn that into muscle, you'll lose the equivalent of an hour of cardio (a DAY), simply by going to the gym 3x a week and doing weights. It'll probably take you about 2 months @ 3x half an hour (so 1.5 hours a week over 8 weeks) a week to see that muscle increase, but you'll be getting the equivalent of a 7 hours a week of cardio for weight loss.
Or you could continue to believe whatever pseudoscience you're spouting (and probably read in "mens health" or equivalent trash magazine) and stay fat.
I just wanted to make it clear that drinking excessive Mountain Dew wouldn't necessarily make you fat, though it wouldn't be good for you
Unless, of course, you define excessive as "more calories than your body can burn in a day". At which point, excessive mountain dew will make you fat, no matter what your pastor says.
In the USA, yes. But not everyone in the world (or even on slashdot) is from your funny little country. (For references to that, see the primaries last night).
A tiny tiny portion of the real early internet was funded by the govenrment. There has been no funding of infrastructure by government for the last 20 year.
Many companies turn off usb booting in the bios, and then lock the bios.
Come out of the bubble. Life is better in the real world, where facts aren't made up and truth is based on objective reality!
Yes, that's why it's an AMENDMENT (a change to the amended document). As an amendment, it is now part of that document.
Right. And the post-facto adjustment to the declaration makes it just as meaningful as the stuff the founders thought of first. Doesn't make it less important, just makes it easier to leave out.
Maybe, maybe not. There may be key-loggers installed which still grab your keystrokes./quote?... which is why you boot from your usb key?
Also, your sig : "We paid for the internet one dialup account at a time." is completely wrong. Much of the internet infrastructure was paid for through government subsidies and grants, EVEN in the USA, but especially so every where outside the usa. As for developing the internet itself, that was subsidized through military and education spending... by the government.
No, neither of those things is true. The reason for "having guns" is in order to have a check on the government. The right to bear arms is enshrined in our highest law in order that we, The People, may defend our rights by force if needed.
Really, highest law eh? That's why it's an amendment? Learn some of your history and stop acting like a tool for others.
Residents of the USA, don't think that couldn't happen here just because we own more guns.
... I thought the USA was already big on being self-policing. That's why you want everyone to own a gun... and that's why you have the lowest crime rate of the modern world. Oh wait, only one of those things is true.

So, where do I go to get my MA in interrogation? Or is it an M.Sc? I'm not talking about an MBA - that's self-inflicted torture.
Also, how long until universities are diluting the techniques, and offering it as an undergraduate degree?

I've gotta say, that if you're not aware of the Raspberry PI project, then you're asking the wrong question.
Sounds like socialism to me!
LOL the employer was the US Army (although they were civilians)
According to my grandmother they spent about 2 hours drinking and eating brats and burgers for every 1 hour working, so...
Not only socialism, but good old fashioned american procrastination (and giving others many opportunities to help out).
c) find a better wife
Seriously, I've never understood all the horror stories, not before and not after my own marriage.
You're obviously not married, with such a odd comment and low UUID.
Beagle bone + USRPs? I'd google that, but it sounds like I'd find some nasty rule 34 images out there... Unless you mean beagle BOARD ...

slashdot... where two posts saying exactly the opposite of each other are both marked +5 informative.
Hey now, we're teaching the controversy, so people can form their own opinions.

All sugar sodas are bad for you. not saying you should drink them, just that people need to stay informed.
Define Bad, then you might have an argument. At this point, it is still just an uninformed opinion.
Maybe you should get some newer stock then. They still make Jolt http://www.amazon.com/Jolt-COLA-LONGNECK-making-12-Ounce/dp/B001IW05IQ/ref=sr_1_3?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1331118624&sr=1-3

pardon my ignorance, but did someone give eugenics a good name?
Uh, yeah... I think his name was darwin.
