Nowhere in the article does it say that they are doing it "because Democracy would have 'Democrat' in it." That was just an editorial comment by the obviously juvenile and biased article-poster.
We are a constitutional republic. We are not a pure democracy.
Beagle Bros Apple II Peek & Poke Chart FTW! Good memories dinking around with that.
The professor does have a point. I remember writing one of my first BASIC programs. All it did was wait for a key to be pressed, then fill all character positions on the screen with that letter. I could watch it go line by line. Then I wrote the same program in 6502 assembler. The entire screen of characters changed instantly, as fast as I could type. A feeling of awe and sudden empowerment rushed through my veins. Fun stuff.

The way I always interpreted it is that MS-DOS is the 16-bit patch to CP/M, the 8-bit operating system.
Your last sentence just killed the premise of your post. So, Slashdot is now invaded by angsty idiotic inept clueless poseurs who think they are geeks but are not, and...and...somehow these clueless idiots know enough to be aware that McAfee sucks. That seems to tell me that a growing number of people are becoming *less* ignorant and more savvy and knowledgeable about these things. If even the "clueless idiots" know enough to make fun of McAfee products, then maybe Intel's $7B purchase isn't such a smart thing. But what do I know, I'm just a socially inept clueless poseur pseudo-geek.
Speaking of "learning something new," here's a stupid off-topic question, but I have to ask: I've been here off and on for years (not necessarily posting), and I've seen "GP" and know it means something like "top poster" or "original poster." But never knew what it actually stands for, and Google seems to be no help. So what does "GP" mean anyway? Told ya it was a stupid question...
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I have Microsoft Automatic Update turned OFF on the Fit-PC, to prevent it from updating and rebooting. I do the updates manually.
I'm making the switch from Comcast to MagicJack for my so-called pseudo "land line."
I have it running on a cheap Fit-PC Slim that is running the MagicJack software only, nothing else. I figure the $235 I spent for the Fit-PC Slim will be paid for pretty quickly due to (a) saving $25/month when I get rid of my Comcast line, and (b) running the MagicJack on a dedicated PC that sips power (it runs on only 10 watts!), rather than on my main PC that is an i7 behemoth with tons of cooling, etc. I can turn off my main PC when I'm away from it.
I have MagicJack voice mail messages e-mailed to my Gmail account, and from there I have a Gmail filter set up that sends a text message to my cell phone when a MagicJack voice mail comes in.
My Fit-PC Slim is remotely controlled from my main PC, so does not need a mouse, keyboard, monitor attached.
The MagicJack interface and the ads on the side of the window don't bother me because (a) I'm not using the interface at all; the MagicJack PC just sits there and does its job, functioning as a phone, and (b) I installed MagicBlock and MagicWho? to make it as invisible as possible.
So far, so good. The sound quality is at least as good as my Comcast line if not better. I'm hanging onto my Comcast line for a little while pending some more testing, but am expecting to get rid of it soon. Looking forward to the cost savings.
...but it sure seems unethical. The police seem to be posting these pictures only to (a) humiliate and shame those arrested, (b) forever stigmatize those people by way of distributing (downloadable) pictures that will now live on in digital form in the public domain, in one form or another, forever. Who knows where they might end up. Sounds like a good way to potentially ruin someone's life over an *alleged* night of over-indulgence and bad judgment.
There is "being available in the public record," and there is "put on worldwide public display with a big scarlet 'A' for Alcoholic on their chests." They're going over the line here.
What do you expect from a company with a bunch of Yahoos running it?
Seriously, though, they just made a combination of bad choices, or in some cases no choices (indecisiveness about what the company should be). A common scenario in companies that rise and fall as Yahoo did. I remember reading many years back that Yahoo headquarters had whimsically named its conference rooms things like "Decisive," "Competent, and "Sane," just so they could say things like "Anyone know where Paul is?" "Yeah, he's in Competent...he's in Decisive...etc."
This is an armed conflict in one of the most violent places on Earth and he put the spotlight on a number of civilians in a way that makes them targets of opportunity in a war zone.
Yep, exactly what I was saying in the last thread on this subject, and I ended up getting bad karma for it, but I know I'm right. Assange has even said that he does not care what happens to the people in these documents. In other words, his claims to be "combing through" this second round of documents in order to protect the people involved notwithstanding, Assange appears to be perfectly willing to let other people and their families to be brutally murdered as long as he gets to bask in the glory of being the Rebel On The Left.

Slashdot is making me feel more stupid. I mean, seriously? This is the kind of garbage that gets featured here these days?
I know that Lisp is not an acronym, but we used to refer to it as Lots of Irritating Single Parens.
It's not its, it's it's.
This is true. I do NOT miss wasting hours with EMM386.

I'm safe as long as I'm running my Mic-CAFF-ee! (At least that's the way my boss pronounces it).
if a Mexican guy walks past one and it says something like "Good afternoon, Mr. Yakamoto," you'll know to stay the hell away from him.
^ "that"
barry manilow.
An inexcusable offense; you should be copacabanished for that.

Exactly. The only thing I would trust this guy to "meticulously comb through" is his own hair.
