Slashdot fan boys really believe that without a contract that is properly written having a mans Well, I attend the Slashdot fan boys club, and I assure you that we don't get the moderation either. In fact, after great discussion, we have come to the conclusion (group think helps), that this moderation error is the work of the infamous 'Moderators on Crack'.
he missed the week where "how to lie convincingly" was taught. If George Bush has taught us anything, it's that lying will always fool a certain percentage of people; no matter how badly done. What that percentage is depends on a lot of factors, but the important part is just to take the leap, and lie. Because you never know if it will help, unless you try.
Look forward to watching the second hand sale value of your vehicle plummet even while fuel costs rise to the point where you can no longer afford to drive your (now) useless vehicle. No, oil will not continue to rise (but it may hit $150). It's the speculators who have been driving up the price, and like the stock and real estate markets before it, I believe the bubble is about to burst, and commodity price can really drop after a speculation bubble.
Personally, I expect the price for gas to hover in the $2.50 to $3.25 range for the next decade. Of course that was the price when I purchased my hybrid, so I don't expect the light truck category to have the popularity it did have, but sales will pick up again (unfortunately).
What about building the first Maglev between Washington and New York? I think they are more concerned with making it actually profitable.
Really, the service between New York and D.C. is amongst Amtrack's most important routes. The only thing that service between two tourist traps would accomplish is public interest, and as a first generation demonstrator.
then give him a good dependable communication device. One that prompts him based on his location, and mission. ie if you turn left instead of right it tells you without the need for some expensive device. It is a communication device. Wireless radio did a lot for comminications of foot troops, but it can be limited for an individual solider by a need for stealth, irrelevant chatter, and bad location guesses. Think if it as a twitter interface which will automatically insert GPS data. I could see messages like:
suspicious person [location]
Face time with 'friendly' merchant [location]
House search, normal [location]
House search, danger [location]
Following armed man [location]
Following shooter [location]
Under fire, but covered [location]
Under fire, exposed [location]
With a well tuned distribution list, I think that this could really make a difference.
(B-52) And they are expected to keep flying for another 30 years. It's going to be interesting to see what replaces them. Likely something the same size and capabilities, but with a carbon fiber airframe, mostly to save on fuel. That is assuming of course that we continue 'own' the sky over any target we'd like to hit with it.
I believe that your saying, Stein's theory is that God controls all things, including evolution. Of course if he put it that succinctly, the opening credits would last longer than the movie, so I'm guessing that the rest of the movie he just throws around a lot of muck, and see what sticks to the walls. Kinda like a typical political race.
I hope that he had time for my fringe theory; God invented the universe in order to create the ultimate chili recipe. Once achieved, he'll 'big bang' again, and work out the best golf swing.
As much as I'd love to register as a Democrat, it's boneheads like Biden that keep me from doing so.
Do you expect perfection from every area of your life? Perhaps when your old dog diddles on the carpet, do you shoot it? Everybody is a bone head once in a while, it's those who are nearly consistently idiots who should be avoided.
Biden's overall ok (IMHO), this statement, made in a committee meeting, seems more about searching for an answer rather than statement of unchanging position, or a finalized plan. I know that it's surprising to some people, but intellectuals sometimes say things hoping to be rebutted, as it's hard to learn things when people always agree with you.
For more than a year, I've been searching for that answer myself. It's been avaliable to people just a couple of miles away (including TV service), but my area seemed to be left out of that rollout. I searched and searched for any tidbit of information, but with no success, I even did their web form nearly every day. Finally about 4 months ago, a crew came out an laid steel wires from pole to pole, then a week later another crew wrapped the wire with new cable. A couple of months passed before a different crew put some boxes in the ground and drilled between them. Next came the signup guy, who took my order, and set the appointment. Just last week they installed yet another box near my curb, and this Thursday I need to work from home so that I can meet the fios install guy sometime between 8am and 5 pm. A week after that the Comcast guy will arrive to end my service with them (I'm taking the box back, myself, but they'll send a tech out to unscrew my line). Yay!
I like to think that my constant poking on the webform convinced them that there was a need to be filled in my area (I even 'asked' for a couple of my neighbors), but chances are that they finally got around to filling in the holes, after 'cherry picking' the nice areas. Funny thing is that at least 10 of my neighbors out of some 25, have the telltale utility service flags, which I suspect is a good response.
I think that Verizon keeps it's detailed roll out plans secret, and the only way for an average guy to know is to watch for the contractors, and the Verizon tech trucks.
On a side note, I've also noticed that my bill from comcast has been rising the last couple of months, perhaps they are trying to make up for the lost revenue.
You're rocketing down the freeway exceeding the speed limit... And suddenly for no reason apparent to you the guy just in front of you hits his brakes, hard. Even if you have the wherewithal to follow at a safe distance, most drivers actually overbrake when they see police cars, and now this will happen even when the cops have long gone. If they were ever there in the first place.
One wonders how this could benefit Republican election chances, or further cover up some of the many illegal activities of the Bush administration. While it could just be the President's Administration understanding the legitimate uses of the P2P networking, but that would like, utterly unlike nearly every other action of the last 7 years.
Why not just have an online library that allows people to download whatever book they wanted... There is a "limited" number of books released to this online library and... If you want a book... an option to purchase the physical representation
Perhaps we are merely the accidental by-product of the simulation. Just like Bender didn't intend on creating life, and found it tough to figure out what to do. "Being God isn't easy. If you do too much, people get dependent on you; and if you do nothing, they lose hope". Hopefully we won't nuke ourselves like his hapless worshipers (if I recall correctly, it was a fight over religion).
So, they claimed the mission was only for 90 days, That wasn't what they claimed, it was the task they were given, for me it's obvious that they built two fine machines. Congratulations!
Your net up is a tax receipt which has value which varies depending on how much you pay in taxes.
Good thinking over all, but it's your marginal tax rate not how much you pay. So if you are a middle or upper class working stiff who actually produces the goods and services which drive our economy (marginal tax rates of > 25%), you actually for once stand to make out 'better' than someone with an income driven by capital gains (flat tax of 15%). Of course, an accountant with a sharp pencil might tell you to claim the profit as income.
Should Slashdot just redirect to digg and get it over with? How is this news? Why was this one modded 'troll'?
Troll - "is someone who posts controversial messages in an on-line community such as an on-line discussion forum with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response." I think it fits, and would meta moderate it as such, if given the opportunity (and taking it).
Seriously, Taco, you're letting the quality of/. slip below Digg.
While I agree with you that/. editors could do a better job with some of the summaries and occasionally a particularly poor submission creeps in (slownewsday is often an appropriate tag for such stories), but it's hardy the mess that I've seen on Digg.

Yea, that may have been made up, too bad it overshadowed the very real issue of Bush's questionable National Guard service.

How about renaming it for the woman he killed? NinaFS, perhaps?

Sure, we'll write that policy, however it'll cost you $52 million for coverage, with wind and bullies excluded.
So how did you figure this out?

He forgot to mention that it's a fairly new law, and it seems to be working, 18% drop and all. Also even in 2004, the U.S. still tops the list, of gun violence deaths.. Both those were from this simple search.
I just signed up for fios Internet, TV, and phone.
A better analogy would be to see mainframes as movie theaters, and PCs as televisions.

Do you mean like Oreilly's Safari service?

Yes, it can also be divided into two other parts, those who think this post is 'funny', and those who don't.
