Why do people insist on oversimplifying the iphone model by calling it a way to make "fart apps." For the last time, people, this is not about fart apps; this is a revolutionary new flatulence platform!
A story submitter, on Slashdot, humbly and openly admitting a mistake. My hat is off to you, sir. Here's hoping some of the people responsible for the more absurdly sensationalist summaries (your submission is certainly _not_ one of those, just to be clear) that creep onto the front page take your precedent as an example. I won't be holding my breath, though.
You're not holding your breath because Nushio has the patent on such behavior?
What's crazy is the people he hires to write the papers don't seem to have any sense of the ethical issues involved. At least two of them are interviewed using their real names, and they act like the only thing wrong with this whole shady enterprise is that the fool didn't pay them on time. One of them is apparently an established writer for the Star Tribune; another one seems to be an award-winning teacher in Orlando Florida. I'm glad these individuals are no longer working for this douchebag, but it doesn't seem to bother them at all that they are cheapening their own professions.
Puff and strut now, big boy, but know going into this election cycle your team's major talking points are cutting off unemployment benefits and gutting social security.
Also blowjobs! At least in Texas, Republicans plan to really bring out the vote as the no-blowjob party. Democrats must be shivering in their boots over this!
This statistic really underlines the need for better filtering software. If 1/3 of the internet is porn, that is fully 2/3 of most people's time that is wasted on news, technology, sports statistics and the like. We really need a reliable filtering algorithm that will allow us to filter out that useless 2/3rds.
If the school isn't making a profit selling the right to read the articles, they ought to be in the clear. The basic argument of the publishers here is that what schools are doing is the equivalent of making multiple copies of an article for classroom use. Guess what; the 1976 US Copyright act specifically identifies "multiple copies for classroom use" as fair use. Beyond that, I'm assuming the school has already paid the publisher for the electronic copies of these articles through a database that students already have access to. The publishers aren't bitching that they aren't getting paid here; they are bitching that they aren't getting paid twice.

Just use Monaco and STFU

Yeah ok but how many characters would the md5 for "go google it" be?
>>>So it basically means that there is no limit.
C'mon. You mean to tell me I can take the collected works of Harry Potter and boil them down to a 128 bit MD5 number?
Trick question. Harry Potter hasn't written any works!
It's a magical and revolutionary flatulence platform!
who will wooosh the woooshers?

The Sony reader is far better at reading fiction than the iPad.
That's because the iPad only deals in Truth.
... oh, wait, you said BLender.
Yeah but as an earlier slashdot article pointed out, Donald Knuth was wrong!

No worries; we'll take care of that on our end.

...in fact, forget the butlers!
(+n Informative.) Except that headbutting people is fucking stupid, since it hurts the butter as much as the buttee.
That's the point then, isnt it? Mutual assured destruction; kept peace between the superpowers for decades.
Maybe he thought the store clerk was a pro-censorship politician?
Surface oil will also turn into a tar ball. Tar balls become inert ...
What's the big deal here? Just use tar -xvf and be on your way.
