But, if having a chance, however small, of meeting a celebrity (whoever that may be) will encourage one schmuck of a parent to bring their kids out and if even one of those kids learns something then it'll all be worth it. No matter how silly or hyped up this might seem to you, this event can only be a Good Thing (tm) in my opinion.
When you look at these photos, there is one aspect that is lost due to the size of the planet itself. At 3000 miles wide, this "storm" is about 40% the diameter of the Earth.
Diameter of the Earth is a nearly meaningless comparison. Not only is the Earth not a perfect sphere, but also most people will have a hard time gauging the spatial reference to something more meaningful, such as "about the size of the entire continent of North America."
Thanks, I passed along your comment to him. He took a bunch of stills, too, but obviously all from the same vantage point, ground level. He has not posted them with public access, however, and I'm not gonna go through the hassle of copying them.:-)
I have two monitors, with one rotated so that I can better work on vertical files (documents) and slashdot. The other is normal, for spreadsheets and running applications. Either is suitable for coding.
Because it is part of the story. The story is that US Tax payer's money is going to purchase young BOYS for the male warlords. There is no instance of the buying of young GIRLS in the story. Thus the homosexual remark.
In looking through the story I saw nothing that says that the boys are homosexuals. They seem to simply be sold and raped as slaves. In fact, I don't really see a lot of evidence that the 'masters' are really homosexuals. Even some of them do it simply as a means to 'be competitive' or perhaps not get killed themselves. I guess the really high-level ones might be homosexual, but the one page I was able to read didn't talk about it that much.
Agreed with sexconker (great name btw), but specifically, data is a mass noun in addition to be plural for datum. There are specific references from the Wiki page that you can go look up, if you don't believe the Wiki page in the first place.
In a society where law enforcement is uncertain, it is generally the bad guy who gets away with it, and the good guy who slipped up who is brought to book.
If both guys committed the crime, then they're both 'bad guys.'
Exactly. I have certain on-line tasks that require IE. I have no choice in the matter. For all other browsing requirements (work or personal) I use Firefox.
Why isn't the article date a required statement in the summary? That would ensure that the fucking editor isn't a complete moron, or at least that he posts the article knowing he'll get ridiculed.
Slashdot Mirror
If so, then it has already gone supernova. But, no one can yet provide a realistic guess as to when it will self-terminate.
Heh, that I did. Of course, I'm not being paid to edit /. stories (and clearly for good cause). :)
Shirley, you jest! They get PAID!? Holy fucking shit, Batman!
I'm fairly sure the spelling is "immortalized" (American) or "immortalized" (British). How much does Slashdot pay its editors again?
British uses an 's.' Because you have them both the same, I assume you made a simple typo, just like (I suspect) the summary did.
Can photo be used as a verb? Not according to online sources.
Yup, just like the good ole days.

[China] doesn't need to steal US research....
Then, why does it? For shits and giggles?
it is "delete from" without the *. I want half for fixing your bugs
Sure, she'll send it right to your login. Oops, nevermind, AC.
Since when is Canada not a state in the U.S.? :)

You're OK, morally speaking, if you donate a part of your new-found earnings to legitimate earthquake relief funds.
Not necessarily. Wi-Fi does not mean texting. SMS texting is likely over the (e.g.) 3G network, not wireless broadband.
I'll tell you what I'd do.
The fact that this is a white paper by a company selling network equipment didn't set off anybody's conflict of interest meter?
I have no such meter. I work for the U.S. Congress.
I finally deleted (not archived) my GMail. Sorry I had to take 149,999 people with me.
Any notes in the margins to Rudy von Hacklheber?
