I've not been paying as much attention to the browser wars as I once did. Does anyone know how WebCore (Safari) and Gecko (Firefox) compare in rendering CSS? I know that Safari supports the (completely awesome) text-shadow property whereas Firefox does not, but what are some other differences?
A millionaire doesn't necessarily have US$1,000,000 of disposable income. After taxes, tending to his/her beach house, going to Europe, paying kids' tuitions and maintaining 3 SUV's, probably no person whose worth is below $2 million can afford a trip to space. The high life costs a lot, especially for those who can spare the cash.
Most of those millionaires already have set their priorities on extravagant socializing and keeping up with the Joneses. Dear god, we can't appear middle class.
InfoCon, ThreatCon, AlertCon... maybe someone could create a meta-Con of sorts, one that averages all the other *Con values. It could be called ConCon.
You might find it interesting that Slashdot, along with an information sciences grad student at the University of Michigan, conducted a poll of UMich slashdot readers. The poll appeared at the top of the slashdot front page to those viewing from a "umich.edu" subnet a few months ago. I forget the specifics, but it asked a bunch of questions like "Do you think the moderation system affects the content of comments?" and implied that the slashdot editors were seriously considering the final data.
Who knows if it will effect anything new though. If there's one thing I've noticed with the editors after 6 years of reading, it's that they're very conservative with how they manage their site. They don't like change, for better or for worse.
Michael Sims was actually fired from slashdot a while ago. Check your the "Authors" list in your slashdot "Homepage" preferences. Michael's gone (thank god).
Is reverse-engineering software necessarily illegal?
I doubt it, since SAMBA, linux's NTFS support, countless device drivers and many other hacking efforts have involved reverse engineering software. Those projects still thrive, so either corporate lawyers are being nice (hah!), or it's completely legal.
The principles, the implementations and the security vulnerabilities of this 512 bytes ROM will be discussed in this wikipedia article entitled How to fit three bugs in 512 bytes of security code.
So it seems someone doesn't know the difference between a page with wiki technology and Wikipedia.
The ugly: not getting an internship at all. Unless you're female or an underrepresented minority (black, hispanic), getting a science/engineering internship is hard. That's on top of the fact that most companies weren't hiring much at all, interns or fulltime employees. Hopefully next year will be better for those of us who lucked out this summer.
I've walked by that place many times in Ann Arbor, and I never knew it was an actual software development house. I assumed it was purely a *nix IS consulting firm sorta deal. Nice to know there's some real open source development going on here in A2.
Do you know what x86 means? A Wikipedia page for you. SSE2 and SSE3 exist within the currently accepted x86 definition. All Pentium and Athlon processors conform to the x86 classification.

Holy fucking dupes batman...

The story submitter most definitely meant Fahrenheit, not Centigrade.

Comment of the day I think :)
Impossible. Steve Jobs invented the iPod on the 5th day.

Wait until Yonah.

Something like FCKeditor?

what?
You know, you're allowed to swear on slashdot. Here, watch: fuck, shit. See? The worst you might experience is a down-modding. It's not so bad.

That's ivy league for you.
Thanks for mentioning that movie. You are the first to suggest such a connection.
Man, that's hilarious! They're Martians guys, get it? Ha ha!
We can handle only twelve wireless technologies.
