I'd like to know when Slashdot is going to fix their scripts so that when folks post quotes, it doesn't post like someone with one of those cheap fake Italian accents. Or make it better...

The longer I live, the more Greg Bear's story "Hardfought" bothers me.
Here, it's the "mandate" in the story: iirc, every warship (and they're all warships) is required to carry all of mankind's digital knowledge on board to ensure that everyone has access to facts and reason to back their arguments.
So, if they had Slashdot in the story, you'd have folks saying, "You didn't read your warship, did you?" or "RTFW: Read The Fucking Warship!".
Of course, the response would be, "You're a new sailor, aren't you?"
You forgot one thing: the World's economy is so integrated that any nuclear action would be economic suicide for all. The evil financiers are doing what the U.N. and others have never been able to achieve: a World economy and eventually an integrated Wold government. Yeah, not in our lifetimes, but not so far off as we think.
Sure, Ill will continue to blackmail the World, but let's face it, he doesn't give a shit about retaliation. He is starving his own people, after all. Do you really think that he'd give a shit if we nuked them? He's tucked away in his palatial bunker with his whores.
And there's the Islamic Fundamentalist terrorists. Nuking a country won't do anything. If anything, that's exactly what they would want: great recruiting tool! The Muslim community will take care of those folks eventually. Their development requires that Islamic terrorism be stopped.

Typical narrow-minded Microsoft thinking. Couldn't they have just done the autodetect, then immediately tried to read from it, remember which result was correct?
Instead of the training session? Interesting.
FTFA: You can't just try to figure out what type of drive the user has by comparing the clever technique against the boring "turn on the floppy drive light and make grinding noises" technique, at least not without displaying a warning to the user that you're about to do thisâ"users tend to freak out when the floppy drive light turns on for no apparent reason. "Thank you for using Windows 95. Before we begin, I'm going to turn on your floppy drive light and make grinding noises. Press OK."
Floppy disk insertion detection is not a sufficiently compelling feature that users will say, "I appreciate the benefit of going through this exercise."
That's another sham surgery - for most. And many orthopedic surgeons are steering folks away from it.
Get some exercise, stretch, lose the gut, and you'll see your lower back pain disappear! Oh, get up away from the idiot boxes - TVs, computers and the internet - speaking of which; bye!
If I recall, he's not the only Democrat to have done this recently.
It irks me when folks make it "Democrat" or "Republican" thing. It's not. It's a POLITICIAN thing. You know why the Kennedy's are all "serving the public"? Because their father, Joseph P. Kennedy, the bootlegging, mafia connected, stock market manipulating crook, cheating, adulterer, and I think he also liked to have sex with little boys (can't slander a dead guy!), said that the real power is in politics. Not just being a rich guy. Hence, he pushed his kids into politics for POWER. The same goes for the Bush family or any other person in politics. It's for power. Which means, you have Republican politicians catering to the religious loonies and Democrats catering to the leftist loonies leaving the sensible folks out in the cold because we don't make a big enough stink about anything.
And if the folks in MA would stop electing Kennedy, he wouldn't have so much power. But hey, He's a KENNEDY! His brother was SHOT!
With ALL those windmills going, taking the energy out of the wind, eventually, there won't be any more wind. See, the wind hits one set of windmills and slows down; then hits another and slows down further until eventually, no more wind! Then we'll have to set up windmills in the Middle East and we'll be right back to where we are today! It COULD happen!
I never see these studies that say they weed out child abuse. I know for a fact (sorry no cites or sites and I'm relying on personal experience here... ) that child abuse will result in the same symptoms as Asperger's. That's what I'm wondering. You have one crowd who's looking for a biological reason and another who's looking for a behavioral.
I don't know what to say. We're complex and any studies like this needs to be taken with a grain of salt or two.
We all know the searches are actually being done by a large amount of people in suspended animation, being fed the corpses of the previous people.
The thing about each server having its own battery is a cruel joke.

Linux Needs Critics
·
· Score: 1
for saying there are no Linux critics.
A couple saying that if you criticize Linux you are berated.
Here's something to consider, why do people identify personally with on OS or brands for that matter? I've seen flame wars when folks said that RIGID power tools were really RYOBI (Techtronic, of Hong Kong, manufacturers RIGID for Emerson, RYOBI is there house brand and they outright own Milwaukee Power tools. FYI); so, it's not just OS fanboys. Same goes for Nikon or Canon fanboys.
I never got that. It's like criticizing Linux, Apple, Porsche or RIGID is criticizing you personally. It's not. Linux or Apple are OSes: not a lifestyle. Some folks just need to get a life!
This is by far the best april fools story posted today. I almost fell for it!
Same here.
I've been vacillating between anger that it's so common to see big corporations begging for money and getting it that this seemed real and amusement at the thought of MS begging the Government for cash.
Besides, as any brewer or baker will tell you, yeast used in brewing is genetically inclined to produce more alcohol than CO2, whereas the yeast used in baking is just the opposite - it produces much more CO2 than alcohol. That's why you don't bake with brewer's yeast, or brew with baker's yeast.
Remember, not everyone drinks alcohol, especially not everyday, but almost everyone eats bread at least once a day if not more...
Folks, it's almost Passover - maybe unleavened bread can save the planet!
/just stoking the fire a bit
Oh, fuck 'n a! No wonder everyone hates my beer by LOVES my bread!
I also think it's the folks who sell the spamming software and whatnot. They sell this "Get Rich Quick with Mass Email Marketing" to folks who plunk down their life savings and they start doing the actual spam. I compare it to selling pans and picks to mine gold to someone in NY City.
Damn straight! I'm having a hard time now and I really need some business opportunities to come my way!
I really need something that will allow me to get rich quick.I lost this email from this Nigerian Prince that needed help. I'll be doing someone a favor and all I have to do transfer some money and he said he'd give me a million dollars.
Then, when I make it big, I can get some penis enlarging pills! Then I won't have to buy that Ferrari or Porsche!
Its a stupid thing to nit pick I know, but 'dune coons' != 'indian'. I find it amusing that people with such blatantly racists attitudes apparently can't wrap their heads around the concept that 'brown' is not an ethnic group.
Shit! No wonder I couldn't find any programmers in the Home Depot parking lot!

Speaking from naval experience here...
What does your bellybutton have to do with icebergs?
He was talking about oranges smart guy! Geeze!
And don't share your phone promiscuously!
Abstinence is the way - don't use cell phones!

Oh, never mind.
We've never had reason to. But if Pakistan's civilian government falls to the Taliban, you can bet your ass we'll be going in.
I'll take that bet and I'll RAISE you one testicle!
Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face!

I think that's what killed "your" idea.
Go here and read up on it. It's free!

Your post is much too wordy.
Just say 'correlation is not causation'. Much more succinct.
No, I'm sorry, but that's not correct. It's like correlating eating kumquats and death in traffic accidents. No.
Anyway....

Now, don't you wish you wished for a big titted blond bikini model, a private jet, and a hundred million dollars?
Too late! Bwahahahahahahahah!

I live in Japan and it's 02-April-2009, you insensitive clod!
Achievement Whore, the new Karma Whore.
I've always been doing those things without the achievement points. Does that make me a slut?
Really a shame on this. I'd argue that we need more Irish porn in the world :(.
Such as....
Oh God! I'm done.

send more _useful_ emails to offset that.
