  1. It's not for legal reasons on Use Code From Stack Overflow? You Must Provide Attribution (stackexchange.com) · · Score: 2

    They just want the link to drive more traffic to their site.

  2. Bullet Time for a Videography class on Ask Slashdot: What To Do With Old Webcams? · · Score: 2

    If you have a video class in the district, figure out a way for the students to use them for doing some matrix-style bullet time videos. Or if there is an electronics class, let the students tear them apart to see what they could do with them.

    As an employee for a major printer manufacturer, I highly recommend everyone print out your webpages. Please. Our profit margins are depending on you.

    So many people have moved to Idaho that our old traffic patterns are no longer valid. For instance, it has been ages since I've seen a tractor (John Deere, not Mac truck) on the freeway :). You learn to not run up on one of those. A dirt clod can dislodge from a tire at any time and do serious damage to a windshield. Or so I've heard....

  6. Re:What would Stallman say? on Apple Sued For Turning Workers Into Slaves · · Score: 1

    Micron lost a lawsuit by requiring clean room workers to be suited up & ready to go when their shift started. It was work related and the Labor board deemed it as requiring compensation to perform. Idaho is a Right-to-work state no less...

    Cool. I'm a Vista newb (haven't been running it for a week yet.) Tell your boss I said it was OK for you to leave work early. I'm sure he'll let ya. :D

    Is there a way to make a shortcut or something to do just that? What can I say, I'm a little lazy and that whole right click run as thing..... ;)

  12. Re:I saw a different problem on Vista's Troublesome UAC is Developer's Fault? · · Score: 1

    I second this question? I can see where it is easier to elevate when starting VS2005 and can imagine retro-fitting might be hard/impossible, but it does seem safer to only elevate when needed.

  13. Re:A lot has to change to make parents responsible on Judge Strikes Down COPA, 1998 Online Porn Law · · Score: 1

    Way to show that your parents fucked up raising you. Calling people names on the internet. Guess what, step away from your computer, leave your folks' basement and learn how to be a productive member of society.

    You have a moral obligation to quit if it is getting in the way at all of being a parent.

    Well, my kids need a house, food, and clothing. Me going to work sometimes gets in the way of some of my parenting but if I quit my job because of that, they'd become homeless, starving kids. Dual incomes are needed for many a family to barely scrape by. My household, like many others, is a single parent, single income household. So your blanket statement needs refining. Things are not so simple when it comes to raising children.

    New article here, but at least a week old for other forums. Send them money and maybe they can afford a "real" hosting company.

    I happen to like those eyeballs. I'm always losing my mouse pointer. Sure I could just wiggle the mouse around and see where it is but with those eyes, I always know where it is. Plus I'm a closet exhibitionist so I like having eyes looking at me.

  20. Re:Childish screening procedures. on Linus to SCO: 'Please Grow Up' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    IANAL either but based on SCO's sue happy position, hiring someone from SCO could be a big liability.
    SCO could later come and say that their ex employee transfered their IP to your company.

    I had to take a "keyboarding" class using Selectrics before I could take my high school computer class. It was renamed "keyboarding" the year I took it to sound more high-tech than it really was.

  22. View the future paying SLASHDOT service on Snag the Red Hat 9 ISOs, via Cash or BitTorrent · · Score: 1
    Could someone write a program so I can see what they're paying for without me having to pay?

    I don't know if I totally agree with what RedHat is doing with the "consumer" releases but releasing this 1 week early for paying customers doesn't really bug me too much. Posting an article that promotes "bypassing" this restriction bugs me a "bunch". Maybe one of the paying Slashdot customers will write a program that displays the Slashdot that they see so we all can see it (without paying.)

    So RedHat looks like the Microsoft of the Linux world. They're still on "our side" so to speak. Sure, they would actually like to make a buck. More power to them.

    So now will we'll be able to tell if she's wearing the "I'm getting lucky tonight" panties or the "He's not worth more than dinner" panties. Might help us decide how much to spend on the date.

    If the database is distributed, results might be coming from different servers. After a certain point (so many millis?), the results are returned. This could result in the difference.
