+5 is not good enough for you. Your comment should be enough to end this discussion.
Nobody in his right mind would honestly think this incident was intentional. Hopefully this information will convince even the people not in their right minds of the truth.
Make a list of things you think you would be good at and could stand as a career, and pick the one you think would pay the best.
I like computer science and I love music. I'm very skilled at both. If I would have taken this guy's advice, I would be a professional musician who could hardly afford his own drums. Instead, I majored in CS and started off making more money than my parents do COMBINED. And I still have time to enjoy music, and can afford nicer instruments than I could as a musician.
You equation is wrong. Technologies that use, say, smartcard authentication and a PKI for single sign-on are much more secure than using individual passwords. They are also much more convenient.
They really need to split in to Debian Desktop and Debian Server. This would enable both to have more frequent releases. The server distro could release probably twice yearly because they would have many fewer dependencies to worry about (and no GNOME stuff, for example). The desktop distro could release more often because it would not have to hold itself to the extreme stability requirements that a server distro requires. It would be a win for everyone. I might actually be able to start using Debian again.
You just identified yourself as one of the romantics instead of one of the rational scientists. Spouting off your silliness has a negative impact on your movement because people will tend to assosciate reasonable scientific thought with your emotional non-thought.
Your unsupported assumptions that "natural" is somehow ideal and that humanity should be limited suggest that you are basing your opinions on some mysticism, superstition or religion, rather on scientific skepticism.
It's simple. Compared to the USA, France more is anti-free speech, but more pro-fair use.
Slashdot, however, is predominately both pro-free speech and pro-fair use.
If Hollywood were a city in France, however, I think it would be likely that France would be even more anti-fair use than the USA is today because the French don't value free speech as much as Americans do.
I once looked at a list of mutual funds on Yahoo that had the highest YTD returns. I couldn't believe how all these funds had like 400% returns in a year when the indexes went down. Closer inspection showed that the funds went from $0.01 to $0.04 and the like. Stats like that don't necessarily mean anything.
Huh? You imply you are in the US but you say "petrol?"
The cost of gas does include the cost of spills. The oil companies pay to clean those up, therefore the cost is included in the cost of gas. That's a better way to do it than paying for cleanup with tax dollars--it provides incentives to the gas companies to prevent spills.
Taxing the to pay for infrastructure would also be dumb. In the US, gassoline distribution infrastructure is not paid for by the government. The cost is included in the price of the gas.
Taxes to pay for the military actions which hold fuel prices down would be pointless. Theoretically, those actions pay for themselves by boosting the world economy (though this latest war was REALLY expensive and hasn't done much in the way of oil prices yet, that we know of).
Gas tax really should JUST cover roads and possibly polution-related expenses. Lower prices means lower shipping costs means better overall economy.
This article is about software which gives the LEGAL PURCHASER of a song the ability to control his own property. This includes the ability play the song on device of his choice. Your comments about redistributing music without owning copyrights are unrelated and offtopic. This software is nothing more than the digital equivalent of a CD-to-Cassette device. It allows you to play your legally purchased music on more than just an iPod/single PC.
I can understand seven billion years. I can't understand seven years. You will find that the intellectual contortions needed to accept the bible in any form will become more and more difficult as you learn more about science.
I become more and more convinced each day that apple is paying the/. editors to covertly advertize ipods. The word "iPod" is used 6 times in that write-up, and the story actually has nothing to do with iPods. That sickens me.
This president seems to be the type that does things rather than just talking about them. Even if more recent information indicates that what he earlier said he would do is a dumb idea, he "stays the course" or whatever. Just because you don't like him doesn't mean everything he says which you like is a lie.
He's shooting for the stars, I agree... but that's the point!
It's the right idea. Any research into manned space travel should be the top priority of the PLANET. We have forever to observe the solar system. If we don't get self-sufficient colonies off of this rock, humanity itself could be extinguished when the next big disaster strikes.
I used to be severely depressed (and the word suicide crept into my thoughts a lot). Then I bought a convertible sports car and it totally changed my outlook on life.
A $20k car is the way to go to cure depression. And it's much more fun than suicide.:-) vroooom!

That's all crap! Other than compressing and prefetching, all those things you listen actually make your browsing slower.

What a load.

Linspire is for single-user systems, right? "rm -rf" would be horrible as a single user because it would delete all the data you care about.
We should send nukes along behind the lawyers...
and just to be safe, use both options.

biometrics == bad?
Any technology that can add one more layer to security is a good thing.
If houses become cheaper, people with Wal-Mart wages would be able to afford houses. So you're completely wrong.
That is the least insightful thing I have ever read on slashdot. I can't imagine how it was moderated so positively.
Here is another good one.
What is 42?
forty-two: being two more than forty
Clearly, this feature is not complete.

I don't know about Dayton, but it's pretty rare to have to pay to park in OH.

You clearly are not catholic and know nothing of their beliefs.

Wow. Ease up on the commas, dude. You almost broke my brain.
Wha? Sound like something LaForge would come up with to detect a cloaked romulan warbird.
