Wait... so you're saying I shouldn't have drank the stagnant rain water that gathered in my C64 box starting 10 years ago?? WTF I thought you meant the rain water aged like a fine wine$!@$
Because english words are made up of some common components. 'i' always comes before 'e' in 'ie' pairs, for example.
From the context, he either means that in some non-English language, 'i' doesn't come before 'e' in 'ie' pairs, or that in English 'i' always comes before 'e'. Neither one makes much sense to me. I figured he meant the latter, meaning that the 'ie' pair was the combination of 'i' and 'e' without an importance on the order, and that English was a special case where 'i' always came before 'e'.

I could feign a plebeian ignorance, but I inveigh your deceiving sleights. By seeing correspondence I've received, including eight receipts from my leisure activities and a weird lein on my sovereign freight sleigh, a weighty surveillance can be unveiled: SOMETIMES E COMES BEFORE I!
but hey, they did it to Mitnick - filesharers are equally computer criminals
That's like saying since blacks are a minority in the US, they should be put into gas chambers because Germans did it to Jews. I'm not a "Free Kevin" fanatic, but Mitnick's been punished far more severly than justified because the FBI wanted to set an example and the legal system couldn't cope with the buzzwords. Using him as an example of what should happen to people who commit computer crimes is perverse.
In my opinion, computer primes should be prosecuted based on their "real-world" equivalents. Having someone download MP3s off of you should be considered giving 10 or 100 illegal song copies out ($600 max), not the $150,000 the RIAA persues. Mitnick was punished too severly because the judicial system got too hung up on the threat of computer technologies and the potential for harm, rather than looking at the trespassing charges for what they really were.
Putting "ry" on the end of the word doesn't make it a plural, even in your two cases. Instead, it describes a part of it's root word. Bigots have bigotry. Toiletries are part of a toilet (the room, "I'm going to the toilet.").
Likewise, componentry is used in the fabrication of components. It becomes a part of finished components. That's why it's found on 30,000 Google pages.
How can you include game hardware in your numbers?! The box office numbers don't include popcorn and projectors, and the music sales don't include stereo systems. And you can't gauge popularity on dollar amounts, you should at least gauge it on units sold (or time used, but that's harder).
So would you agree that UW Madison and UIUC are top party schools? Do you think they were ranked that way because of crazy house parties or because, like the review said, they have "endless... shopping and outdoor activities?"
My father's side of the family has a sort-of honor system where the dad pays always pays for the tuition of the kids. It's happened from at least the time of my great-grandfather, who paid for my grandfather and great-uncle to go to college at Tufts University. Then my grandfather paid for my dad's education, and my dad paid for mine. I've never talked to my dad about the tradition, but when I have kids I definitely want to keep the tradition going.
Some would look at it like my family's well off, though we're not rich. I instead like to think of it as a loan across generations. I don't have to pay for my education until later in life, when I can afford it, and then I repay it through my kids.
I'd think more BS people would get drunk every weekend than BA people. Sure, the sorority girls are all BAs, but there's lots of liberal thinkers in BA programs that are against drinking and the "party school" image. On the other hand, I think most BS students _want_ to be at a party school. The people who work hard getting their degrees tend to go out and party more on the weekends... I don't see what's wrong on that. HR managers should be concerned with how well people get their job done, not how their workers let off steam on the weekends.
I read the finer print too, but I don't understand why you would map black to a non-black color. But if you look closely at the pictures of Earth and Jupiter, you'll see there's quite a bit of noise on them. I suspect that same noise over the space portion of the picture would have gotten a bit of color on it. If I were them, I would have desaturated it rather than filled it with black. However, because Jupiter and Earth were done with two different pictures ("exposures"), they had to black it out since the noise probably didn't match.
Which is why I disagree with the picture: Earth and Jupiter were photographed completely independently. It's not how they would look from Mars. If it was, then they wouldn't have done two seperate exposures and they wouldn't have to black out the noise of space to make the picture look cohesive. I don't mind how they did the color mapping, I just disagree with how they composited the pieces together afterwards.
Because Jupiter is over 5 times farther from the Sun than Earth, two different exposures were needed to image the two planets. Mosaiced together, the images are shown above (top picture). The composite has been highly contrast-enhanced and "colorized" to show both planets and their satellites. The MGS MOC high resolution camera only takes grayscale (black-and-white) images; the color was derived from Mariner 10 and Cassini pictures of Earth/Moon and Jupiter, respectively, as described in the note below.
So what about that picture is accurate?! They changed the brightness, contrast, and colors for each planet and moon independently. And when they were done, "the color image was edited to return the background to black." So the process of colorizing was so lossy and brought out so much noise that they then had to redraw the edges of each planet and moon when they masked out "space."
I have completed my plans to build a Martian crematorium for passed-away nuclear power plant technicians. This first permanent extraterrestrial crematorium will be dedicated to help remember the dedicated scientists, as well as pet cats, dogs and aligators, who could not survive the blistering radiation and isolation of living on Mars. It should be up and running by 2029, provided I find a way to deliver my ready-made building blocks to a construction site 300 million kilometers away from Earth.
Should Slashdot editors post an article by someone who works for RealNetworks? He only gave links to sites run by Real. Shouldn't it at least contain a few links from actual news sources like C-Net, who might put things in a less partial perspective?
One could argue that it's better to get an article straight from the source, then read the comments for impartial opinion and review. However, I disagree. Slashdot should be a collection of articles that the community found interesting and submitted on their own. It shouldn't become a press release distribution ground for promoting corporate agendas to Linux geeks.
What do you mean "look up?" You don't know that 01000001 is A and 01100001 is a? And that you just have to subtract each letter's value from the above numbers to know what letter number the value represents?
Come on: it's binary, not rocket science. You should have learned to subtract numbers in elementary school.
Robots.txt only makes well-behaved search engines not index certain portions of your site. You're still going to be vulnerable until you take the sensitive pages off-line completely. But even then, if a passwords list has been indexed by Google, updating your robots.txt file won't remove it from Google's cache until Google spiders your site again. At which time, Google will discover the passwords list doesn't exist and remove it from the cache.
At least that's how it should work. Is anyone aware of Google requesting robots.txt more often than they spider pages? And then proactively removing pages from their cache based on new robots.txt entries?
While the article deals with Google specifically, lots of non-well-behaved spiders go through common locations looking for password files regardless of what you've blocked out with robots.txt. The only way to completely protect your data is to remove it from your site.
Genes for infertility are interconnected with other genes. Scientists are just now discovering such correlations, and maybe they will find a code that turns on infertility when other things are incorrect. I agree that people alive today should live the best lives they can through medication and other fixes, but I disagree that bad genes should be passed on to future generations. In addition to survival of the fittest, infertility very likely another of nature's ways to stop bad genetic traits from propogating. We should let the process continue to work how it has worked for millions of years.
If such a concept was possible, every company would just buy one copy of software for all their employees. The software is bought by the company, and the employees are agents of the company. In addition, in the tech industry employees usually own stock in the company. But there's a pretty large amount of case law showing that each employee needs their own license for the software they use at work.
Where I live (Texas) unions don't have much clout, and wages here are around 20%-30% lower than they are in the average union state.
I'd predict that states with higher union membership are older states with older corporations, such as northeastern states. These states happen to have higher population densities. Have you considered that salaries are higher in "union" states because cost of living is higher there?
I agree that unions are a good thing, but Texas is a cheap place to live. It would probably be more convincing if you compared union worker salaries to non-union worker salaries within the same industry.

We need a Mars moon base to help build Russia's Martian nuclear power plant! It all makes sense now, doesn't it?

Yes, and when you've wound for one minute, the laptop rings and the LCD screen pops up!
All around the airplane seat,
The dorkus charged his PC.
The laptop was filled with charge,
POP! Goes the LCD.
Still, the chances of this wiping out most of a continent are better than the chances of you winning the lottery.
On the contrary! Today I bought two lottery cards!
Yes, and fine them for walking in the streets!
And if they're on a leash, then the owner should also be fined for jaywalking.

Pretentious eggheads laugh at DeVry, employers dont. They usually care if you can do the job, and have appropriate hygeine.
Are you implying that DeVry has a course in appropriate hygeine?
I wonder if they teach it as a "life skill" or just to reduce the stench in the classrooms.
