Instead of a +5 Informative, that should be a -1 Troll. I copied sentences almost directly from the NYT article and just changed a couple words. April fools! I've never trolled for Karma before... I didn't think it was going to be that easy.
What a great idea. Now I can see BOOBIES from the safety of my parents basement... here...let me try it out.. ewww gross. (click) ewwww gross... (click) ewww yuckko (click) ewww grosser! (click) ahh good, guy with guitar playing a tune... OMG he's lifting his shirt...agghhh ewww gross. (click) ewww gross... I want Boobies. Girl Boobies. Oh yeah, I forgot...this is Slashdot. I guess I'll just reload the wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boobies oh YEAH baby... seabirds! yeah! fap fap fap
This ruling is the second time a federal judge has declared the program of wiretapping without warrants to be illegal. However a 2006 decision by a federal judge in Detroit, was reversed on the grounds that those plaintiffs could not prove that they had been wiretapped and so lacked legal standing to sue. The new law, however, still requires the government to obtain a warrant if it is focusing on an American citizen or an organization inside the United States. The surveillance of Al Haramain would still be unlawful today if no court had approved it
yeah, if I hadn't already posted previously, I'd give you mod points... I learned the "ghoti = fish" thing back in elementary school back in the 1970s I enjoyed it and made me appreciate how silly and arbitrary the English language has evolved into.
Yeah, we don't have that "é " letter in our alphabet, so we must have lost it. However I'm thinking René Descartes may have just stolen it... you know how those French are...
Lots of people probably don't mind "the government" keeping their DNA on file, but lots of people probably DO mind private insurance companies having the DNA data:
"Since health insurance paid for Isabel's genetic screening, her positive test for a cystic fibrosis gene is now on the record with her insurance company, and the Browns are concerned this could hurt her in the future. "It's really a black mark against her, and there's nothing we can do to get it off there," Brown says. "And let's say in the future they can test for a gene for schizophrenia or manic-depression and your baby tests positive -- that would be on there, too." Brown says if the hospital had first asked her permission to test Isabel, now 10 months old, she might have chosen to pay for it out of pocket so the results wouldn't be known to the insurance company."
Impress your friends with geek AND music knowledge. In addition to being the phone number in the Tommy Tutone song, 867-5309 is also a prime number. It's also a prime twin, so (I think) 867-5311 is also a prime number
With two measurable qualities, couldn't you graph anything on? # of cabbages sold per day, number of kills I get playing Team Fortress 2 per day. Other than what day it is, they're not related.
Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. You can graph any two variables you say? Sounds like witchcraft to me. burn the demon!
OK, we have a new standard of measurement... "glitter" I can handle that. After all I understood volkswagon-sized meteors, a station wagon full of backup tapes, a library of congress -sized disk farm, and of course the old favorite, a football field sized nuclear storage facility.
People think all SSDs are the same. They aren't. Consumer SSDs are typically MLC and have a failure rate far above "enterprise" SSDs which are SLC. I wish you could buy consumer SLC SSDs
with that ringing endorsement and the spelling that looks annoying like "coffee", but not quite... I didn't even read TFA I'm not even sure why I'm even commenting. This is kinda like the message you occasionally see on Slashdot for idle.slashdot.org "don't go there"
I use this all the time for equipment that isn't covered under any maintenance contract. You call Cisco, give them the equipment model & serial number, quote the security advisory URL, and voila...they give you download access for the most recent code for your switch/router/firewall... NOTE: You sometimes have to be on hold for an hour or more...but it DOES work...I've done it in the last 3 months for an old 28xx router.
Customers who purchase direct from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service contract, and customers who purchase through third-party vendors but are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale should acquire upgrades by contacting the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC).

Free upgrades for non-contract customers must be requested through the TAC."

by the way I like the new Slashdot colour scheme.
yes, yes it is. Thanks for asking.

All we need to do is say that Al Quaida has set up a training camp on Mars and see the money flow after that!
We'll be on mars in no time!
If it's anything like "rogue" or "nethack" crossed with "tetris" and "super mario" ... I'm ready to play!

Yes, stick a fork in it... "jump the shark" is done.
Hey the 1990s called... they want their phrase back.
I said "cuddle" buddy, not cuddle buddy.
What about cuttle fish?
When I was growing up, all the other kids on my block had a DARPA, but I didn't.
I had to do with some stupid National Science Foundation
