It IS lack of effort. They get paid salaries to post stories on slashdot. That's what, a minute of work, at two stories a day. Ok, 2 minutes of work per full-time workday. And that's with checking for duplication. Guess they'd rather shave some time off that oppressive two minutes of work by not checking stories.
I'm one of the people who's become disillusioned with manned spaceflight, and I'll tell you why.
It started with sending humanity to the stars, now it's just NASA maintaining it's budget. Space is no longer a province of all of humanity, but rather a small group of elitists who jealously guard what they think it their province alone; look at the shameful way US astronauts treated Dennis Tito when he want up there ("You shouldn't be here! You're not in our clique!").
If NASA decides to start creating a genuine space infrastructure, more power to them. Until then don't expect the kind of enthusiasm you saw with Neil Armstrong.
A capital idea! But why not go back to our roots? I shall first obtain a stout vessel through the usual manner--meeting a band of pirates while working as a field hand, I will impress them with my knowledge of when the silver train will be in Maracaibo, and be made captain on the spot! Then I'll offer my services to the government and be granted a letter of marquee, under the auspices which I shall plunder the merchantmen and caravels of our enemies!
Who's with me, lads?! I can promise you a share of the plunder, a hot cup of grog at the end of the day, and the carefree life of the privateer!
I dare you to find me the ip address for ANY SAM site on earth, let alone one in Iraq. Why would anyone hook one up to the internet? And how on earth would a SAM launcher run BSD?
I believe manga is one of the reasons that Japan has a much higher rate of literacy than the U.S.
It doesn't.
Japan's literacy rate is 99%, US' is 97%; don't think that qualifies as "much higher" in anybody's book. I have noticed that a lot of people just assume the US has a relatively low literacy rate, and I'm not sure why. How many people do any of you know who can't read?
exaggerated high-pitched squeaky voices mean "happy".
If you hear voices coming from manga, you may be having a psychotic episode.
In every single case, the guy who likes Anime has some sort of difficulty dealing with or confronting women sexually.
I think the whole point is why is it different in Japan, where just about everyone reads it (or watches it in the case of anime). Married, single, male, female, old, young.
I sense a great deal of anger in you. I don't quite understand it; are you terrified of the weaknesses you think anime displays because you worry about seeing those weaknesses in yourself?
What are you talking about? As an end-user system XP is much nicer than Linux. First of all in terms of pure visual appeal (and that makes a difference when you're staring at the screen for 8 hours a day) XP is much nicer on the eyes. The fonts are more readable. The size ratios between the fonts, the dialog boxes, the spaces in between, etc. are far superior in XP (which is probably as a result of the people who built the Linux desktop doing so without consulting graphics designers that much). The end-user applications are far more interoperable.
He probably didn't get a fair shake, but let's be honest here; this wasn't the first time. He got arrested as a kid for cracking, and they let him off lightly because he's a juvenile. He gets arrested a few years later, and gets 3 years probation. They come to arrest him again for breaking probation, he flees, commits more crimes while evading capture. The justice system treated him pretty lightly the first few times, but as you may expect the penalties rise when you can't stop breaking the law.
Step 1: Promise not to sue people
Step 2: ????
Step 3: Profit!!!
"Grace period" means they won't sue you if you come forward. It doesn't mean they'll let you continue to use pirated software; they just expect you to buy legitimate copies at this point. It's the same thing that the IRS does every few years. If you come forward they won't penalize you for not having filed your tax returns, but that doesn't mean you don't have to pay any back taxes.
No, it wasn't. The ships didn't do much besides collide; I want battling FLEETS in my space battles. And the buggy chase was short and didn't make much sense.
Why does everyone here make the automatic assumption that someone with a CS degree will be a programmer? If you want to design hardware, you'll need at least a CS degree, and more likely a CS/EE dual degree.
Or do you think those latest chips are created by 733t self-trained programmers?
Not sure either, but Clear Channel is pretty much always the bad guy. The kind of stuff they pull makes Microsoft look like the monastic order of St. Francis.
Old, amazingly well-done (for the time period, and medium)cyberpunk show. Main character, a reporter, had an artificial simulacrum named Max Headroom. Worked for network 23. The network created high-energy bursts of commercials that would occasionally cause people's heads to blow up. Reporter investigated. Etc.

But they still manage to consistently beat everyone.
It gets more prominent than that; Unreal II and Unreal Tournament 2k3 have the Atari logo.

So this is meant for people who are ashamed to own a computer?
Oh, wait, this is good. An actual quote from the review:
What I don't want to see happening is Sony start skimping on performance and overcharging the consumer all for the sake of selling a Lifestyle.
So who wants to break the news to him?
Which is why I find the suggestion that somehow discussing exploits on the internet weakens our ability to do that silly.
It won't matter in the slightest. Any hacking attempts aren't going to be foiled because someone released a patch for apache.

Oh, I sure they are networked, but I don't think they're pingable from where we're all typing from. And I'm fairly certain they're not running BSD.

Don't like art museums either, do we...
Only they're talking abount manga.
Blue hair says "fun"
Manga is usually in black and white.

I'd believe it except for cmdrtaco protesting like that...
Is that with a BS/B.Eng. or an MS/M.Eng.?
Twice.
From Win 3.1 to 95, then from the 95 family to XP. The second change wasn't as big as the first one.
What are you talking about? As an end-user system XP is much nicer than Linux. First of all in terms of pure visual appeal (and that makes a difference when you're staring at the screen for 8 hours a day) XP is much nicer on the eyes. The fonts are more readable.

The end-user applications are far more interoperable.
At this point there's very little difference between OS X and XP in terms of difficulty level.

I bet I could get anyone with some IT experience to pass the RHCE exam in 2 weeks.
And?
With 2 weeks of hard core studying you can turn just about anyone into a low-level system administrator.

Oh, also TechTV occasionally shows reruns.
