Graffiti is not art. It is vandalism, plain and simple. Don't trivialize this form of petty crime and make it into a legitimate artform. As an artist myself, I'm completely appalled.
I saw an episode dubbed in spanish when I was in Mexico City. It was creepy because I already knew the dialog in enlish since I had seen the episode at least a dozen times before.
Interestingly enough, Michael Crichton came up with both WestWorld and Jurassic Park, so the whole 'amusement park gone crazy' idea is not new at all.
Remember folks, when you call something a 'Simpsons reference', it's almost always a reference/satire of something previous. I pity those of you who get culture from the Simpsons, yet lack enough culture to understand the references.
Speak for yourself. Last time I was in a car chase, it was pretty damn exciting. Driving my '74 Dart with a 383, I'd say that I open the throttle about 75% of the time when I get lit up by a cop. In real life, they usually will not chase you through a red light. In other words, the chase is over almost immediately. Every now and then, I get a cop with a bit more ambition, but putting my car up against a city cruiser with a V6, I generally outrun them within a block or two.

Baby oil (mineral oil) is what I use for lubing up robots. My robot has derlin blocks holding aluminum rods that slide through to brace the pneumatic cylinders from lateral forces. Petroleum lubricants will destroy the derlin.
Seriously folks, it's about time WindowMaker merges back with AfterStep. Dividing the great AS WM is the sole reason why KDE and GNOME dominate at this point.
If the WindowMaker project rejoined AfterStep, AfterStep could actually become a viable window manager on it's own terms. As opposed to relying on the publicity of the GNUStep project, and WindowMaker for support in the first place.
The real problem is the fact that idiots continue to build and buy homes next to busy highways; airports too. If you don't like the noise, don't live there!
I'll be interested when I see a backyard roller-coaster with some actual engineering design work put in to it. I'm sick and tired of seeing high-school level yahoos spending thousands of dollars on 6x6s and nailing together six layers of 2x4s just because it looks stout [and cool]. I know that I could build a faster, larger, and safer one for a fraction of the cost, and it would contain NO wood.
The real question here is why block MSN? What about people who use instant messaging for legitimate business purposes?? People chat on telephones, and I don't see many offices rushing to ban them. Fire unproductive people, and let the rest of us communicate.
What am I going to do about it? Nothing. They can keep sending legal threats, but I will simply ignore them. Arrest warrents?? Pfft. Most cops will not even bother to take someone in for something so stupid. I don't have the time to download movies and music, I simply have plenty of server space and fast connections. I'm doing a public service, and a major disservice to the RIAA/MPAA by moving 100+ Gb a month. Half the stuff that moves through is junk that I would never even want to watch or listen too.
I'm not going to go on about how unfair it all is, I don't even care. I know that what I'm doing is wrong, and I will continue to do it because I know it pisses people off. This is an ideal hobby, especially since it's lower risk, and less time-intensive than pushing dope to kids.
And boycott. Ha! Sounds just like that stupid 'don't buy gas on April 23rd and we'll show those rich fat-cats who's in charge'. Even if such a boycott took off, the RIAA would simply absorb the loss, then attribute it to more filesharing. Way to go! That'll show 'em!
I have had plenty of experience with 802.1x installed at a major american university (which may be the same university the article submitter works at).
Thanks to the 802.1x deployment, I have zero wireless networking capability under FreeBSD. Ah, that takes me back to my freshmen year of 1996.
Being that you live in San Francisco, contact your local drug dealer. Have him/her add your computer hardware to the weekly cross-country drug run. Drug runners can get things there in a hurry, and they usually avoid police entanglements, in case your computer is hot. (And I'm not talking Athlon hot.)
On behalf of all naval engineers, I would like to thank you. You see, with all the design tradeoffs involved in engineering a submarine, we completely forgot to add any useful safety features or redundancy of any kind. Thank you very much for you excellent insight, we will incorporate these obvious, yet overlooked features into the next generaion of unmanned submersibles.
Actually, it's quite fitting for the average slashdot reader. Most people here are armchair Linux users. Some may even have a dual boot system set up. But the majority: "I only use Windows for games." (and email, slashdot, work, coding, chatting, and browsing my internet.)
It's no surprise that 95% of slashdot traffic comes from IE.

Will Jar-Jar be back in Episode III? And will ILM insert him into episodes IV, V, and VI??

Will they have big advertisements on them? Specifically, Microsoft advertisements?
