lilo lart is -apt- [GlobalNotice] Hi all. I have a serious drug habit and I need to raise $12000 to pay off my loan shark, or his thugs are going to break my diodes. Please give me money so I can continue to spam you, and thanks.
I put lilo's nick on ignore but he changed it to FUNDRAISING (yes, all caps). My ignore list is a bit longer now...
Now if we could only get them to upgrade their web server...slashdotted already.:(
Yes.... the standard comment about slashdotting never gets old, does it.... or doesn't it? Well done, another +4 funny for something that was redundant 300 stories ago.
Ever wanted to keep stray dogs or neighbors from trampling your backyard, but just couldn't find the system to really deter them? Well this site shows how they built a bi-polar Tesla Coil system
Ofcourse it depends on how the Tesla Coil is feeling at that moment. It might see the dog and think "oh, i won't bother zapping it, life sucks!". On the other hand, it may have a manic episode and send out little zaps to make the dog dance! (Dance Doggie! Do the Hustle!)
You were watching the same game as I, right? Putting aside that your side won, this game was tedious and boring. Yesterday's South Korea vs. Turkey game (for third/fourth place) was far more entertaining. Brazil's gameplay throughout the tournament was disappointing and it's a good thing they have to qualify for the next.
I mean, what if I live next door to a cinema and they install this? Suddenly I can't receive mobile phone calls in my house because I'm in the shadow of the cinema!
If you live next to a cinema, there's other reasons you can't make mobile -or any other kind of phone calls-...
[ring ring] "Yes, Hello?"
[cinema next door]: BEGUN THIS CLONE WAR HAS !
"Can you speak up? There's several thousand watt speakers next door!"
Despite the prevalent opinion on Slashdot (and my own) the government does need the ability to monitor telecommunications. Given proper authority by warrants and what-not, the government should be given every possible tool and ability to protect the nation, within sensible limits, always.
How about setting those sensible limits at your borders? Respect other country's privacy for once. Stop being a bunch of international bullies/control freaks. The cold war is over.
There's more people in an average city. Anything Iceland does is not really relevant on a world scale.

Slashdot Mirror
I always wondered how long it would be before someone tried to give a "weather report" for the Internet
You mean like this?
Why is this under hardware and not "ask slashdot?"
Also, i blocked everything apple and i still get these topics where they don't belong, like here...
Please put the stories where they belong.
I think greycat's apt factoid says it all...

Just a detail: humans are not theorized to have evolved form chimps. Rather, chimps and humans evolved from a common ancestor.
Well, the scientists are still not sure about Michael and JonKatz concerning that...
Oh great. Now CD players will be banned from planes.
I doubt it. The RIAA has enough dough to buy Dubya, just like the tobacco industry did...
What Does a 39-cent Bic Lighter Tell Us About the Bush War on Terrorism?
Money is still worth more than lives.
Wouldn't you know it, an article about uptime...and slashdotted. Looks like he needs a mirror.
You could always try the Google Mirror
I thought the date on the Microsoft OS box was the expiration date, just like on canned and boxed food.
e.g. Win 98 went bad in 1998, etc.
So with that logic, Windows XP probably means it's eXPired already, even before you take it out of the box?
Pfew... smell that stench!
- Or else they're going to give you some cement overshoes?
And ofcourse the winning answer:Or else they'll kill this puppy?
Or else the penguin on your tv will explode?
Or else you'll switch to Linux?
Donut court says it's naughty to dunk them into coffee. Stop it now.
Oh yeah, deep link all you want, we don't care.
"Limbo" means it'll actually never come out. ;-)
No, that would be "Woody".
Great game!

You see my point?
Perhaps Slashdot should interview the president of Wal-Mart.
President of Walmart: Slash-who?
I have always found Redhat unbearable, so how is this new? You guys made a typo, right?

Iceland.

There's more people in an average city.

Think about it, what was the last novelty hit?
Take your pick:
Lou Bega - Mambo #5
Los Del Rio - Macarena
Baz Luhrmann - Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)
Modjo - Lady
What was the last song that got popular just because some DJ thought it was amusing?
Cornershop - Brimful of Asha
Spiller - Groovejet
Ohwell, i guess music in Europe isn't as dead as in the US...
Not every animal died because of evil humans, some died because they weren't fit to survive in this world.
Yes, just think of the Pygmy Shrew!
Could someone please come up with a reasonable theory on what the hell the dolphin-with-pick-ax logo is supposed to be before my head explodes?
You'll find out next time you'll go for a swim at the beach... no more mr nice dolphin!
"Slashteam": can we please moderate stories, already? This thing has T R O L L all over it with the tag...I mean, "propellorheads?"
Well, it was posted by Timothy, what do you expect?
