I'm happy to declare you the No-Shit-Sherlock prize winner for this Slashdot article.
Thanks to you, I realize why both my son and my grandmother dribble, poop their diapers and go gah-gah, but for some reason I couldn't quite fathom, I only booked one of them at preschool...
Doubleclick was the very first host I mapped to 127.0.0.1 in my host file when web ads started to appear.
But even then, think about it: each time you hit a page with a link to some doubleclick url, you end up hitting port 80 of your own machine. That's right, even with doubleclick.com disabled, Doubleclick, Inc. manages to make you DoS yourself!
They have a silicon chip in them, which is basically glass isn't it ? So I would say not.
I don't know, I'd say there can't be much more than a tiny spec of silicon in a RFID tag, so once it's discarded, it can just be considered an all-natural grain of sand...
picked up poker as a hobby about 4 months ago, and consider myself a decent player, maybe due to programming experience (analytical thinking)>
Programming has little to do with analysis and a lot to do with gut feelings when you code, and more importantly, when you debug. What I mean is, you "feel" it when the code is right (or whatever solution you're working on is right) and you know long before the end of the project whether it'll be great, so-so or crappy.
Well, same thing for poker: you play by "feeling" the opponents, and your hands, and just "knowing" when the stars are aligned and when you should go. So yes, your programming experience may have something to do with your playing poker well, but not for the reasons you think.
Is it just me, or does the numbering system for the Final Fantasy games/movies seem completely random now?
Well, it's not the only one. Some games are numbered 1, 2, 3D, 3D-Atomic, Time-to-Kill, Zero-Hour, Land-of-the-Babe, Max Payne, 4-Ever (aka. Forever), so the FF numbering seems pretty tame to me...
Call me old-fashioned but I find pressing Alt-number or Alt-arrow more than adequate.
Unless you happen to have a kajillion keyboard shortcuts, like I do in Gimp. Please stop thinking Windows + Word + Excell, or pretend you're so cool because "what's wrong with the old studd?", and realize many people actually use off-keyboard controls quite productively.
They didn't need to go to such lengths just to have a Rubik's cube that can be dismantled and rearranged when nobody is looking, the original thing had stickers that were easily peeled off and reglued to solve the cube.
and explored the Titanic....if only it could have missed the Titanic, we would have been spared some DiCaprio acting, and more importantly, 3:30 minutes of ear-pearcing Celine Dion.
But aside from that, good work Alvin, and good retirement!
I'd bite for $150, just barely, if I saw a BIOS screen that'd give me some reasonable indication that I could wipe out CE and install something useful. But *man*, $300!
Yes exactly. Back in 98/99, the big hype in embedded computing circles was things called "set-top boxes" (read things like WebTV boxes). Everybody absolutely *had* to get into doing set-top boxes, despite the astoundingly dismal sales volumes. That trend has come and gone thank goodness.
So, while this thing is technically better (it uses a computer screen, not a TV), it is definitely more expensive (the usually accepted price point for set-top boxes is $100), and it is proven the public doesn't give a flying fuck about them. So the question is, what is it those guys are hoping to achieve here?
Beyond the fact that your reference covers Pharaohs rather than common women,
The point is that women could rise to be pharaohs in ancient Egypt without raising a stink, which should tell you something about how women were pretty much left alone and free in this society. In contrast, I don't seem to see very many imam-ettes anywhere in the muslim world.

Talk about an evil company...
If Bell and Telus merged would you call it Belus?
who can Tell...
Anyawy, I agree, monopoly = bad for us consumers.
Come on USA government, slow them down!!!
USA government? you mean the same guys whose pockets are chock full of these corporations' money?
Let me introduce you to the word "naive"...
I must cay, as an AT&T cuctomer, I feel ctrange today...
Don't forget to check the roll of tinfoil before building your hat, just in case they put an RFID tag in the sheet!!!

I can't believe I just wrote that...

He can't tell the difference, he's mad, he just said so himself...

Not to worry, if the thing doesn't work as a Rubik's cube, the builder can always stick this Lego creation next to it and reenact Picard vs the Borg.
They didn't need to go to such lengths just to have a Rubik's cube that can be dismantled and rearranged when nobody is looking, the original thing had stickers that were easily peeled off and reglued to solve the cube.
Programmers and nerds are weird. The only things that amazes then from the year 1964 are that:
* we hadn't been on the moon yet (granted, that's a landmark in human history)
* C was way in the future
* LISP already existed
Well hmm, I guess it's all a matter of personal perspective...
The reason is called "operating cost". Vehicles like Alvin cost a bundle every day, even (especially, I should say) when it doesn't dive.
In short, 2 vehicles == twice the cost. Not sure they want to pay for it...
and explored the Titanic. ...if only it could have missed the Titanic, we would have been spared some DiCaprio acting, and more importantly, 3:30 minutes of ear-pearcing Celine Dion.

and we all know what happened to Icarus.
Clearly Bush does not read Slashdot.
I didn't realize Icarus had fallen off a Segway...
You Sir just costed me a clean shirt :-)
300 bucks for that, you must be mad.
I'd bite for $150, just barely, if I saw a BIOS screen that'd give me some reasonable indication that I could wipe out CE and install something useful. But *man*, $300!
Yes, for very small documents.

Please look up the definition of the word "irony" in the dictionary.
It's like goldy and bronzy, only it's made or iron.

Apparently he just wanted to bring out the fact that in ancient egypt, the role of women wasn't exactly like it is today
Please educate yourself instead of talking out of your arse.
