There are twenty or thirty of them in the aquarium in Osaka. Hell, I think I remember seeing one in the aquarium in Long Beach! Not as red and spiky as that one but otherwise basically the same crab (some much bigger than half a meter).
That's not a "crab like thing." That's a crab. And aside from being really red, it isn't that unusual, I don't think. But damn it would be tasty.
Some of the other fish are bizarre looking though. Anybody can point to other pics of weird deep sea fish? A long time ago there was a different slashdot story about deep sea fish with some great photos but I could never find it again.
It's just absurd that ibooks and powerbooks don't have this standard. Especially the ibooks with those nice white plastic keys; it seems it would be so easy to have them light up so people could type in the dark. I figure this would be a no-brainer; why haven't we seen this yet?
I think that is wrong. It also doesn't save you the pain in the ass of installing the old OS again. There's a better way around this; the install disk is actually a full install disk but it has an app that checks what's installed and won't let you install unless it deems conditions correct. Fortunately you can delete the app and burn a new fully installable OSX CD by following the instructions here, near the end of the thread (but before all the pr0n links).
So you're trapped in a room with Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, and a lawyer. Luckily, being a good American second amendment nut, you have your trusty pistol with you. But you look in the chamber and realize you only have two bullets!! Quick -- what do you do?
I have that smelly old t-shirt... it says "BBEdit: Software that Doesn't Suck." They sent it to me for free back when I ordered BBEdit 3.0. I pretty faithfully upgraded until right before 8.0. Not because 8.0 didn't also look cool, but because for my purposes I'm perfectly happy with 7.1.4.
BBEdit REALLY doesn't suck. For basic text editing of course there are fine programs that are free, but for HTML and for other tasks that require a lot of text processing (supersmart search and replace, browsing multiple files, etc.) it is a godsend on the Mac. And it is ALL Mac; so intuitive it makes you want to drool with pleasure. There may be newer OSX text tools out there but I've had no need or desire to poke around at them, not with trusty old BBEdit around.
I agree - this is the most interesting aspect of this story; that nobody seems to want to investigate who forged the documents. I have my suspicions and they're on the right, not the left, of the political spectrum. I have no evidence for that other than Rove's history of dirty tricks and the fact that this incident ONLY benefited the Bush conservatives. But that's circumstantial at best -- it could very well have been a liberal DUMBASS who thought it would be a good idea to forge documents. But I suspect Rove because it seems completely designed to end discussion of a potentitally damaging story -- this functionally ended the debate over Bush's military service. There is plenty of other evidence that the Bush family pulled strings and the most reasonable speculation is that Bush jumped ship in order to avoid being drug tested. But after the CBS screwup, no big media would touch the story with a ten foot pole (other than to discuss the CBS forged memos).
The story is accurate. There was plenty of other evidence besides phony memos. Which makes me suspect Karl Rove as the source of the forged memos, since the forgeries effectively cut off legitimate discussion of this issue. Now conservatives can just laugh off the charges and blame them on the phony memos rather than actually respond to them.
It's a freaking letter to the editor. Even if you were right about Salon's bias hurting their objectivity about scientific facts -- and you're not -- this is a letter from an independent citizen.
power-crazed traitors who will steal an election and jeapordize 200+ years of democracy don't count, becuase I'm sure we could find some of those in Hollywood too.
Not in hollywood anymore - we sent his ass to Sacramento.

What a country!
And based on this article it looks like that's all you need to do to get something posted to slashdot.

you had to go spoil all our fun!
There's something more useful or important than beer?
Perhaps, but I wasn't getting paid $26 billion a year to figure out that very thing.

Don't forget, this is the same CIA that didn't see the collapse of the Soviet Union coming.

Thanks for the explanation though!
And only one mouse button!!
So? The rich need toys too you know!!!
Anybody know how to get OSX to recognize ed2k: links and send them to mlnet? I always have to manually paste them into the mldonkey web interface.
There's a dirty joke in there somewhere but I'm too lazy to find it.

Nah, we can just limit it to an area of Texas where there aren't a lot of good people. Like Crawford.
