Now you don't have to lose your keys, just have to get them in salty water, or rub your feet on the carpet and touch them, or....
Actually, I was thinking the opposite. Great, finally something I can copy without having to go to the dealer to pay $100 for a new key to replace the one I've lost.
I guess the editors are getting more incompetent-- not only are they posting dupes, but they're not even bothering to give a heads-up to the owner of the site before an article is posted, which is what they say they do.
Unfortunately, assuming 36 kWh per gallon of gasoline, and $.12 per kWh of electricity,
Wow, is it really that bad elsewhere in the country? On my last electric bill here in Maryland, I was paying $0.0585/kWh for electricity, and $0.0263/kWh for delivery... That's less than $0.08/kWh
We simply tell our clients (who are all windows users anyway) to use IE. Not giving further choice means less headache for us when it comes to supporting our product.
That's a perfectly acceptable position to take. As long as your competitors take the same position, that is.
The letter says - dear information computing professional, MS would like you to test-drive our latest (insert name of fancy software package here). The enclosed demo will not interfere with any of your existing software, and as a thank-you for trying out our newest offering you can keep this handy 128MB USB drive. Feel free to pass along to your colleages as well.
...or you could save yourself a few bucks and ship them a trojanized binary on CD, if they're going to be running your code anyhow.
Science never proved that women are "unclean" when they have their period
I assume you're speaking of Leviticus 12:1-5.
I do know that Christians tend to regard the Mosaic law as a system that God used to show man just how incapable man was of keeping a system of laws, therefore man needed God. (See Romans 8:2-4 - Paul explains it better than I can... It's late.:) )
or that being gay is an abomination
I don't know how that could be scientifically proved or disproved. I suppose it can be empirically determined if it's healthy for you or not (marked increase in risk of AIDS, for example) From the standpoint of the Bible, it's a moral absolute, at least in the OT.
or that any whale could swollow a human.
The KJV translation is: "Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah." (Jonah 1:17)
Doesn't sound like a run-of-the-mill whale to me. Sounds like the Bible is asserting that God prepared a special fish to deal with Jonah specifically.
See, that's the problem with science and the bible, at least in my experience. You're going to have a hard time arguing with most Christians who believe that God created and controls the entire universe that little things like the Laws of Physics and Nature are going to stand in his way.
Some people seem to think that speed limits don't hold in the left lane... or for *them* for that matter.
Some people seem to think that "Slower Traffic Keep Right" laws don't hold for them.
Pet peeve: It's the "Passing lane" or "Lane 1", not the "fast lane". I don't care if you're going fast or not. If you aren't passing someone, MOVE RIGHT.
Ironically, I just spent Friday and Saturday of this weekend on my side job upgrading a bunch of Pure Digital workstations at CVS locations in NJ with DVD-R drives.
It was a free call, but if I knew how long it was going to take for the auto responder to read out really really long numbers for me to type then I would have just set up a DHCP server.
I never use the autoresponder. If they're going to make me do this crap, it's going to COST them to have a person do it. And I spend 2 minutes complaining to the person every time.
I've always been a fan of boring out a station in the asteroid Eros
We can't silly, that's where IF Command is located. It was the buggers' advanced post in the first invasion. It cost the marines a thousand lives to clear them out.
Of course, you don't have the clearance to know this, so undoubtedly you'll be assigned to permanent duty there.
Also, I just want to point out that I don't think electric cars are the silver bullet panacea that they are being marketed as. It still takes x Newtons of energy to move y kilograms of mass over a distance of z kilometers. Utilising electric energy to perform the work isn't somehow "free." That electricity still has to come from somewhere. And if that source happens to be the existing power grid (i.e., you plug you car in while you're at home, or parked somewhere), then that power is still most likely coming from fossil fuels. It doesn't buy you anything.
Sure it does. It's an abstraction layer. It makes the source of the fuel irrelavent, and consolidates the generation of energy into a relatively few locations.

Huh? Though I'm no defender of the slashdot "editorial" staff, they explicitely do NOT warn site owners prior to a story, see: http://slashdot.org/faq/suggestions.shtml#su900
No distinction. My meter isn't that advanced. :)

use our nuclear generators to create a massive magnetic field around the spacecraft.

Good idea, keep the radiation from the nuclear generator in!

Would have been nice to see some spacing in that line so you could more easily discern where the spaces are between words... ;-)

Forget about words, there's no spacing between LETTERS... I read "E" "E" "T" "E" "E" "E"...
oops, moderated this incorrectly, posting so that the mod will go away.

I have a crappy machine too, but Word does not take anywhere close to 20 seconds to open, even for the first time after a reboot.
/. is really getting to me these days.
4 seconds to start Word 2000 on my W2K based laptop with a PIII-600. That's WITH the slow crappy laptop HDD.
I call shenannigans on the article. Judging by the other numbers he quotes, I'd say his computer is hideously broken.
Not as if this would be a useful comparison for most people, as it compares none of the features or usability.
Bah.
It's simple, if you want people to stop being violent, create a pill which lowers aggression and which prevents people from getting angry.
Dude, pass the soma.

Withholding pay without just cause is often illegal. I'd consult with legal counsel, or at minimum your state's department of labor.
