Out of curiosity, which other brands offer a similar service?
My MP3 player runs on a rechargable AAA battery, Many stores sell them, and if the battery runs out while I'm out and about, I simply buy a 4 pack of normal batteries, and it carrys on playing.
No, it's not. This is the kind of crap that I'd expect to see on Digg, not Slashdot.
This morning it was one of the smaller stories on a 3 minute news headlines on national radio in the UK (10m listeners), it's deemed by someone to be important.
1. Most sports contests aren't during commute time.
Because noone watches then. If you build it, they will come.
2. Most non-commute, non-car journeys are short enough not to bother about what happens in the game. If you're THAT interested, you'd stay home or at the sports bar and watch it on the big screen with your buds.
Perhaps in America, however 1-2 hour commutes via train etc. are not uncommon in other countries.
3. Most commutes aren't THAT long. The 100 mile each way is the exception, not the rule. I can do without video for 15 minutes on my way home.
Ahh, for a 15 minute commute. The first 6 miles of my commute takes 40 minutes
If you pay $8/hr, you're going to get an $8/hr guy. Keep in mind that Wal-Mart starts at $9/hr.
Of course, if the rent where your developer is is $200 a week, your $8/hr guy earning $320 a week doesn't have a lot left over.
An $8 an hour guy living in an area where rent is $20 a week will have the same left over that a $12.50/hour guy in the first place has. Chances are everything else is cheeper too. I work in London, pay £800 a month rent, £300 a month travel. That's a good portion of my paycheck gone before contemplating food and other luxuries.
If I worked from home and lived in Wales, I'd be able to take a £12k pay cut (40% goes in tax) for a better quality of life (more "off" time, less time wedged in someone's armpit)
Any use without the copyright owner authorization is illegal, definitily if it is for profit. There is fair use, but this use of checking papers is not "fair" use. The kids should get a lawyer
Wasn't an issue at School, but at Uni we had to sign a contract saying any IP created in the process of our work at uni was owned by the uni. Same with work. Why do you think the schools in question don't have the same contract between the school and the kid?
Considering that Firefox is the more common browser on Slashdot, how about doing a story about Firefox 1.5.07 fixing four separate critical...
Because the first I, and many or most firefox users, heard about the bugs, was when Firefox told me that a bug fix was waiting to be installed. By the time I got to slashdot, it wasn't news, or a threat.
Aside from the mere annoyance factor, this is either the blessing or the curse of HD (generic) DVD, and HD TV in general.
I'm waiting for a decent 1080p screen before getting anything in HD. At the moment there are two standards, 1080i, and 720p. At IBC the EBU were saying 1080i was crap, which their material was, but it depends on what material you have to start with. Start with interlaced material and you'll be better with 1080i. (BBC's HD Trial is 1080i, although I believe it's 1440 wide)
Dirac does a good job of allowing 1080p (3GBit) over 720p/1080i infrastructure, I'm eagerly awaiting results of 1080p or 1080i/720p over sDI (270MBit), meaning we could upgrade to HD without purchasing new matricies etc!
Of course, Ultra HD is just around the corner, and with 7680p a reality (saw it yesterday, It felt like looking out of a window!), and being able to store a massive ammount of uncompressed video on a DVD (about 2 seconds), it may be worth holding off!
Come round to my house to watch a mediocre Harrison Ford thriller, 90% of which takes place in such exotic locations as a house and an office - in high-def!"
IIRC He was configuring a cisco, right there, on the screen. That's right, High Def IOS!
Face it folks, your "blogosphere" is a mob of people who believe anything that their favorite "blog aka news site" posts, and that is ANYTHING AT ALL at times, and repost it themselves, often not even bothering to change a single character.
Compare with traditional news media, that believe anything that their favourite news wire (AP, PA, Reuters) post, and reprint/broadcast it without bothering to change a single character.
No, I was born in San Antonio, and played with rattlesnakes in my crib. Here in America, we refer to our original non-American origins of our parents, grandparents, or other ancestors.
So, you may as well say you're Chinese. You are American, I'm sorry, you may not like the truth, but that's what it is. You are not Welsh, You are not Scottish, You are not English, You are not Irish. A Welshman is one who was born and bred in Wales. Or possibly one or the other.
By your definition, I'm English-Italian-Norwegian-Spanish-German-Australia n.
Under Linux, you won't swap much anyway unless you need it.
We've got a strange unsupported application that grabs 80% of physical memory and sits there using it. Unfortunatly the kernel that was supplied (2.4.20) seemed to have some bug where swap got used, and get freed. 2.4.32 seems to have solved the problem.
It doesn't, Alexa get their stats from the Alexa Toolbar, which is spyware (and IE only). All a higher ranking for digg tells you that more digg users have this spyware installed, and run IE, than slashdot users
*based on 1440 minutes/day x 365.25 days/year, and $12,599,000,000 in profits for 2006,
Ahh, the usual precision problem. There are 365 days in 2005 (I assume you mean 05, as 06 isn't over). If you mean 04, there are 366 days. On average there are 365.2425 calendar days in a calendar year, ignoring leap seconds, however in any given year there are a whole number of days.
As a rule, I have abstained from using Flash on my desktop's Gentoo installation. This self-denial is due to a combination of factors: Flash's outdated linux versions, its tendency to make my browser unstable,
Get flashblock, a firefox extension. Won't load the flash unless you specifically ask it.
Only browser troubls I have are with very comments on popular slashdot stories with the new interface
In the '80s, the terrorists were communist revolutionaries.
No, they were American-funded minority Irish sepratists that indiscriminatly killed innocent men, women and children, as well as attempting to kill the UK Prime Minister, and succeded in killing half the cabinet.
What would happen if an Iranian citizen, a member of Al-Queda, managed to blow up the annual Republican bash, killing half the seceratries, and Bush only escaped by a fluke, and to top it all, British citizens were funding them?

Linux is *not* user friendly, and until it is linux will stay with >1% marketshare.
So if Linux gets user friendly, it will drop to a 1% market share? Sounds like a reason to keep it not being user friendly!
I have and know how to use Wireshark (formerly known as Ethereal, soon to be illegal where I live)
Where's that?
No, it's not. This is the kind of crap that I'd expect to see on Digg, not Slashdot.

If I use any GPL code in my application, even one line, I have to release my application under the GPL license.
Then re-negotiate a license with the copyright holders, as you would have to do if you used a line of code from anybody else.

Scot or Welshman could tell you, and I'm both
You were born in Wales, and moved to Scotland when you were arround 4 or 5? And you don't know what "Britain" means?
BS degree
BullShit degree
Exactly how does digg.com give you spyware?
It doesn't, Alexa get their stats from the Alexa Toolbar, which is spyware (and IE only). All a higher ranking for digg tells you that more digg users have this spyware installed, and run IE, than slashdot users
Digg.com now not at 100 on Alexia with Slashdot at 165.
So the average digg user is more likely to have spyware on their machine than the average slashdot user?
I wonder if the submitter "prostoalex", was thinking slashdot would do the same. Now, lets see, who has submitted the most number of stories?
Most Active Submitters
496 prostoalex
Ahh
Um... ST: V?
Star Trek: Voyager?
There are 9 trek files
1) Forgivable as it was made in the 70's
2) Awesome
3) Passable
4) Wonderful
6) Awesome
7) Passable
8) Great
9) Passable
10) Pretty darn shit
They didn't make a number 5 for some reason.

So, hippies use apples... and... terroists use dells?
First season of 24, all the bad guys used Dells, all the good guys used Apples. Nina used a Dell, so it was obvious who the bad guy was.

unless you're saying that the common point is outside Pluto and that this isn't true of other systems.
That's exactly what he's saying
