After reading his post I think he is going to sue the local newspaper Movie and/or Food critic next. After all, they evaluate services all the time; many people rely on their services to give them information about what to eat/watch; and if the person is having a bad day when they come to eat your restaurant and give you a bad review, YOU CAN'T SUE THEM FOR IT!
After all, if you really wanted the smallest and best running program out there you would probably code it all in machine code specifically for the system it was going to run on. Of course, it would take you so long to do it, what would the point be? Just take a time machine back to the beginning of the computer and you can code in machine language all day if you want.
Use your brain, if/. hosts the mirror locally, then the number of people access their site isn't going to go up. The total bandwidth might go up a little bit due to more images, but in the end it would have a minimal effect on them. It's not going to magically draw more users from the void to hit/.
/. has enough bandwidth to handle it's own user load. If/. locally mirrors sites it links to, or at least mirrors just the main page so we can all get the gist of it, then there won't be any problem.
Google, The Wayback Machine, etc. cache the world world without any legal problems, so why is it so hard for/. to be responsible with their journalism?
Most news sources don't even directly link other web sites like this, they would just mention it exists and give the name it. If the person cared enough about it, they can spend their time finding it.
I've always wondered why people with blonde or even black and brown hair have red facial hair, but nowhere else? From my observations it is very common. Are there different genes for facial hair and pubic hair than head hair?
It is highly likely they are looking at the wrong thing. From my experience there are a few different types of red heads, and you can usually differentiate pretty easily. Usually redhaired people of Irish descent tend to have different freckles than those that aren't. It's kind of hard to explain but I'm sure you know what I'm getting at. Then you have people like me, where as far as I can tell my red hair comes from the side of my family from Czechoslovakia. Are there many red haired people there? =]
Anyway, I've never had problems with anesthetics and I wonder if it isn't more of an Irish/Scottish type thing rather than a red haired one.
Besides, the Iraqis will probably just set fire to the oil fields again, thus creating even a greater environmental disaster, and destroying the oil anyway.
Reminds of when I showed up at a LAN party with my girlfriend, who came to play games with us and all my friend's mouths fell open. They just couldn't believe that a female would want to play FPS and RTS games with us. (Usually if a female would show up, they would just distract their male counterpart from gaming and we'd lose 1 player instead of gaining 1.) =]
I had an experience where a person was the winning bidder on something I was selling (I forget what it is at the moment, but appx value would be $100). After the auction the seller assured me payment was on its way.
After about a week I received nothing, and the seller then accused me of fraud! Saying that they had sent a Cashier's check and that the bank said it had cleared (which made me suspicious, considering that from what I read it can take some time to verify cashing of a cashier's check).
So I got the person's contact from eBay. Luckily it was valid, I called up, and spoke to the bidder's mother! It turns out the bidder was a 12 year old kid, thus not able to bid/sell on eBay legally. Once I contacted eBay with this information, and they saw a trend in the users account, I was refunded all listing fees and final value fees, and the users account was suspended permanently.
I think I was lucky to actually receive total reimbursement in this case. How often does eBay actually refund everything, and how often are you stuck with paying for listing fees for items that the seller vanished?
According to dictionary.com 'irregardless' is a word with the same meaning as 'regardless'. It is just an informal word. I wouldn't recommend using it in a formal paper or speech, but on Slashdot, who cares.
It's sort of like flammable and inflammable. They would seem to be contradictory but in fact have the same meaning. 'Irregardless' is an attempt to combine the words 'irrespective' and 'regardless'. It's a word, and makes sense. Just don't use it in your thesis.
Dave Thomas as well. He used to live in a YMCA!!! Although he's no longer alive, he sure did pretty good. You could even argue his less than modest life early on attributed to his success.
Plane A carries 100 people. On an average flight, only 75 people are actually on. Of those 75 people, 5 brought laptops, but only 3 people intend to use them. Of those 3 people, 1 is in first class and could actually afford a laptop with this. So, now we have to pump out enough air for 76 people instead of 75. I really don't see a problem. I would also guess that they probably have to have enough air to keep about 125% of maximum capacity alive or more.
Okay, here's the definition of a planet from dictionary.com:
1. A nonluminous celestial body larger than an asteroid or comet, illuminated by light from a star, such as the sun, around which it revolves.
So what is the definitiion of an ansteroid?
Any of numerous small celestial bodies that revolve around the sun, with orbits lying chiefly between Mars and Jupiter and characteristic diameters between a few and several hundred kilometers.
From this I would conclude that it probably is a planet given its dimensions. But really you are just drawing an arbitrary line between asteroid and planet. Personally, I think that if it is within a belt of asteroids, then it is probably an asteroid, and if it isn't, then it is probably a planet.
It's just an arbitrary distinction given to an object orbiting the sun. Also, I believe it is thought that the asteroid belts are really just planets that didn't quite get it all together. Who knows.

I did a lot of work getting into the bank and getting that vault open. I deserve to be paid for my efforts.

I kinda wonder about the race one, since some races of people are more susceptible to certain diseases and thus a higher risk in some categories.

Maybe it is not a sensitivity to pain but a resistance to anesthetic? I'm not sure how they would know which one it is.
I've always wondered why people with blonde or even black and brown hair have red facial hair, but nowhere else? From my observations it is very common. Are there different genes for facial hair and pubic hair than head hair?
Then how's come my red hair comes from the part of my family from Eastern Europe and Slavic countries? =[

But the 2.8 Ghz processor "makes the Internet faster!" Duh.

Barbie's are not realistic representations of women either. Look how many girls love them and play with them though.

What do they mean by touched? Sure I've gotten virii in e-mails, but they're never actually executed or able to infect my machine.

The sad thing is I think George W Bush thinks going to war will help the economy.
