I like your prank with the pad of dollar bills with perforated edges. To me, it's like a statement regarding the true value of what so many in the world call "money" which is simply a paper representation of an abstraction of government coercion and the monopoly of force.
What's your opinion of real money, such as precious metals, vs. what so many in the world call "money"?
If two sexes are no longer required to sustain genetic diversity, what will the purpose of men be?
Only women have the components required to gestate a fetus to term, which is a major requirement to providing continuity to the species.
Maybe it would be possible to create a gestation chamber or use a different mammal for gestation, but the likelihood of doing this due to the cost is extremely low.
Men will become truly redundant. This development spells the doom of the Male sex. We may be two or three generations away from the matriarchical lesbian society.
You mean I don't ever have to work again?

Ok, so let me get this straight. Magazines and Newspapers are going to pay me to receive their product? Ok, let's say $20 per year per magazine and $100 per year per newspaper. That means that if I subscribe to 100 newspapers and 100 magazines, I get $12000 per year, and a free supply of firelighters and toilet paper!
My point is: Who is going to prove that you READ any of it?
Nope. Win95 was supposed to have arisen from CHICAGO if I recall correctly. Cairo is the elusive NT 5/2000->NT 6/20??. Also, think of them as being on separate development tracks even though Chicago was originally speculated to be shedding its dependence on DOS, and 100% 32-bit (which we all know is not the case w/ Win95).
Has anyone even considered the stopping distances of different cars???? This would have to be factored into the system by providing more space or some kind of inter-car telemetry.
But you're assuming anyone who doesn't want Windows must also be a computer expert. I disagree. I think if all boxes had El Torito CDs put into 'em from the factory w/ OS images instead of automatically loading the images on the HDs IN the factory, it would cut down on the computer seller's cost to change OSes per customer request. This would essentially nix Windoze preload inertia and the cost burden excuse from the computer seller.
this problem isn't to break M$ up or sell off its source code to the highest corporate bidders. The best thing to do would be to BAN HARD DRIVE PRELOADS entirely. This would disrupt Microsoft's business model and make the market more egalitarian. The technology already exists. Here is the proposal:
Make bootable CDs using a free OS controlled by no one corporation which will hold an image of the operating system and load it on to the hard drive on first activation. This way, there is a lower cost to the hardware reseller to change a specific machine's OS. They only need to make one master for each OS on each model line and they can easily swap windows out on request.
This sorta thing was sure to pop up amid all the good press... Media freaks are always trying to pop hype balloons. It's the way they see to get noticed by the likes of slashdotters. Of course, maybe the author of that article should read Cathedral vs. Bazaar again...
I have the problem on the other end... My trunk gets cold and the CD-ROM refuses to spin up, or when it does, the read is slow and error-filled. I guess it would be a good idea to have it copy the files to the HD then play 'em.
As soon as too many of these companies comply w/ this ludicrous request, sightsound will have a legal fund to persue compliance from the rest of 'em and defend the validity of the patent in court. BAD! VERY BAD!

Oh, and they're AUSTIN, TEXAS cops.

double plus good luck with that (YOU'LL NEED IT)
Unlike California, lane splitting is technically illegal.
Yes, unlike just about everywhere outside of the US, lane splitting is technically illegal.
That, and since they're warm most of the year, there will be motorcycle cops.
Good luck.
Is it against the Slashdot TOS to sell accounts?
Apparently, it's a thing in some states with low-digit car license plates to put them up for auction.

IANAL, but AHEM:

Otherwise, I agree with your points.
Why not use e-mail addresses as keys? They already exist.
One could set up an LDAP server and look users up.
Well, this new dictionary is only 15 years overdue... (1984->1999)
If the data were encrypted, that could be a positive attribute! Cordless networks with infinite range!

We don't use Linux because NT works so well, we use Linux because NT is such shite!

How about GoNadUs? It still has GNU in it
An ideal system for this kind of thing would probably be a notebook computer w/ a damaged screen which could be bought for less $$.
I bet people would buy prefab DC PC power supplies
for projects like this. You should sell 'em if you get it working right.
I have the problem on the other end...

to spin up, or when it does, the read is
