With the code-name "Operation Site Down," close to 100 searches were conducted globally (U.S., Canada, Israel, France, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Germany, Portugal, and Australia) within a 24-hour period
I had a *lot* of 10,000+ word essays to write, my hands and wrists were getting so painful I could barely type, yet the deadlines couldn't be put off.
I switched to dvorak and the pain vanished within about a week of using it.
Maybe the Dvorak layout merely has a different muscle usage pattern that will also eventually wear out your wrists as above. Or maybe you have a better technique than for Sholes.
The picture looks like an "x-ray naked" picture of an 80-year-old woman... and if it is, in fact, a picture of an 80-year-old woman, then of course she doesn't look so hot "backscattered".
Good point. I don't know why my original reply got modded "informative", since it was meant in humor only. I'm still working on presentation.
Opensource innovates just as much as anything else. Everything from filesystems such as Riser to decenterlized p2p systems such as Gnutella or even bittorrent for that matter.
Did I miss the headline mentioning that sourceforge.net, Gnutella etc. became sentient and started producing things on their own?
Open-source is the name for a set of licenses which meet certain requirements. Individuals produce software, and choose to put some of that under open-source licenses. There is no open-source entity producing the software.
If you, as an employer, manager, etc, cannot trust the people below you to do the work you put before them, then why are they your employees?
There's this mentality shared by people in various power positions (companies, households, etc.) that they might as well monitor people just in case they are being deceitful. Trust be damned!
As others have commented in the past, I'll welcome total surveillance when everyone is monitored and everyone can view the logs of anyone. Of course that'll never happen because the watchers are doing the worst (like setting up secret surveillance).
Of course, there's always the other explanation of hoarding specific items - some people are just natural-born packrats.
Your post will go great in my large collection of posts about consumption. Never know when it will come in handy, and some day Slashdot may not be around...
It is completely opposite way of thought than how American's have previously thought about property. For example how many of you grew up and left doors unlocked to your house or car all the time. I for one never locked my car doors at home nor the front door to my house. It is your private property and you never expect anyone who wasn't welcome to break those boundries, but we have welcomed the Internet with it's complete opposite point of view.
Internet protocols are made to allow software to automatically get resources it needs. Right now if my machine can access countless resources without any sort of authorization. WiFi is made in the same way, where the OS can automatically use the best WiFi signal available at any given moment without the user having to baby-sit it.
Access to internet resources is very different from physical property where every act is intentional, thus trespass can't be done unintentionally (well, except maybe berserk Segways and robot-driven vehicles). What you seem to be proposing is a permission-based Internet, where even a website visit requires contacting the author first to get permission.
Did you notice that the file folders in Longhorn are standing up like books, with the contents coming out? Maybe all the new features fell into a pile on the floor.
That said, I also visit CNet and EPinions for product reviews and -- right before buying from a particular vendor -- search Google for "vendor sucks"
Thank you! You just saved me from making a bad purchase. I was about to buy from a vendor, but your search found a whopping two hundred thousand hits for "vendor sucks". I'll definitely take my business to a non-vendor.
Slashdot Mirror
Why is it that virtually everything I read on slashdot, I've already seen on the AP/Reuters wire stories from my paper?
Slashdot is a discussion forum.

I actually find my self balking for a second before using "black" as a personal descriptor, so many people taking offense, seeing it as labelling.
Please, use the term "luminosity-challenged".
Let's say the cameras spot something fishy, like another strike to the tiles during liftoff.
How about one of those hundred cameras coming off?

All of the Drupal websites were offline for about two days because of a server meltdown at the organization's hosting provider.
Nucular computers is bad, mm'kay! Don't support it. This is what happens, things melt down and people are left without homes.

Is the Common Lisp version written within the same efficiency constraints as the zlib (C) code?

WOOT! Hot nekkid ch1cks!1.
Not if you're sober.
why did you buy a dvd player when your vcr still worked fine?
Because I was just damn tired of having my VCR fast-forward when I pressed the fast-forward button. My DVD player is great, it has a mind of its own.
I'm hoping Longhorn will be similar, with digital rights mutants (DRM) to protect my right to give up my rights to content producers.
Let's just hope Microsoft doesn't remove this beta management system by the time Longhorn is released, as has happened to so many other features.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
The purpose of the BSD license is to ensure the authors are given proper credit
The purpose of the new-style BSD license (the one without the awful advertising clause) is to protect the author from lawsuits and misattribution.

Do you mean stealthily?
:-)
If you are able to stealthily kick someone's ass, you probably didn't kick hard enough
