Right, because there's nothing weird about naming your language "5". If you waste all your time worrying about what your product will mean in another language you'll never get anything done.
No, that's reporting the "news", not reporting the news. Who gives a fuck what the wife of a washed up singer thinks of a new singer?
Manufacturing the news is a completely different animal and we really haven't seen it since the heyday of yellow journalism in the late 19th/early 20th century. Even the recent tea party marches don't qualify, as Fox wasn't the organization that started them, they just helped get the word out about what other people were doing (eg, reporting the news).
Getting rid of downmods on Slashdot sounds great in theory but it would just result in GNAA posts lingering at 1 (or 2 if the guy doing it has good karma). Which means I'd have to set my threshhold even higher to avoid seeing them, which would bury comments that are actually useful.
The Slashdot moderation system has its flaws, but it seems to work better than most of the alternatives out there.
Over 600 comments in and no one has mentioned LS9? These folks have found the solution to peak oil: make more of the stuff. Hopefully they can get up to speed quickly; if they can keep costs reasonable, we could have true energy independence...and a fresh source of tariffs on exported petroleum.
What about those of us who need to use different accounts on the same site? I manage the retirement accounts for myself and my wife; I need to log in periodically either as myself, or as her, to move money around and make sure we're on track for our goals. Does GPGAuth allow this kind of flexibility?
Beck is famous for attacking politicians (especially Obama) by "asking questions". So some internet smart asses used his own style against him. Turns out he doesn't like it when the shoe's on the other foot.
Why didn't you explain that the different mail and phone systems you're using are not compatible for that project and suggest unifying them all into one product? Why bang your head against a door to solve a problem that a vendor somewhere has already solved for you? The CEO isn't going to care how much effort it takes, nor will he care about the money it costs to institute something else. Either way you'll look like a hero, so just take the easier solution and move on to something else.
if you can devise exercises that are fun, it could work.
This is why one of the common pieces of wisdom from athletic instructors is to change up your routine once in a while. Your muscles get used to a set pattern and stop responding as well, but more importantly you get bored by the repetition. It's important to introduce variety into your routine so it doesn't become too routine. Get a bike and ride for miles (I wouldn't recommend someone who's really overweight start running, it's pretty easy to destroy your knees that way); join a martial arts program or a Pilates group; take up rock climbing. Best of all, get a workout buddy to keep you motivated (and return the favor).
I once saw a man with a puppet made out of cloth and plastic have a complete conversation with that puppet. Completely different personalities, the man never moved his mouth, there's no way to explain how that puppet talked. Except for one: it was a trick. Just like what hookers do for money. Or cocaine.

approach to fighting spam. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work. (One or more of the following may apply to your particular idea, and it may have other flaws which used to vary from state to state before a bad federal law was passed.)
( ) Spammers can easily use it to harvest email addresses ( ) Mailing lists and other legitimate email uses would be affected (x) No one will be able to find the guy or collect the money ( ) It is defenseless against brute force attacks ( ) It will stop spam for two weeks and then we'll be stuck with it ( ) Users of email will not put up with it ( ) Microsoft will not put up with it ( ) The police will not put up with it ( ) Requires too much cooperation from spammers ( ) Requires immediate total cooperation from everybody at once ( ) Many email users cannot afford to lose business or alienate potential employers ( ) Spammers don't care about invalid addresses in their lists (x) Anyone could anonymously destroy anyone else's career or business
Specifically, your plan fails to account for
(x) Laws expressly prohibiting it ( ) Lack of centrally controlling authority for email ( ) Open relays in foreign countries ( ) Ease of searching tiny alphanumeric address space of all email addresses (x) Asshats (x) Jurisdictional problems ( ) Unpopularity of weird new taxes ( ) Public reluctance to accept weird new forms of money ( ) Huge existing software investment in SMTP ( ) Susceptibility of protocols other than SMTP to attack ( ) Willingness of users to install OS patches received by email ( ) Armies of worm riddled broadband-connected Windows boxes ( ) Eternal arms race involved in all filtering approaches ( ) Extreme profitability of spam (x) Joe jobs and/or identity theft (x) Technically illiterate politicians ( ) Extreme stupidity on the part of people who do business with spammers ( ) Dishonesty on the part of spammers themselves ( ) Bandwidth costs that are unaffected by client filtering ( ) Outlook
and the following philosophical objections may also apply:
(x) Ideas similar to yours are easy to come up with, yet none have ever been shown practical ( ) Any scheme based on opt-out is unacceptable ( ) SMTP headers should not be the subject of legislation ( ) Blacklists suck ( ) Whitelists suck ( ) We should be able to talk about Viagra without being censored ( ) Countermeasures should not involve wire fraud or credit card fraud ( ) Countermeasures should not involve sabotage of public networks ( ) Countermeasures must work if phased in gradually ( ) Sending email should be free ( ) Why should we have to trust you and your servers? ( ) Incompatiblity with open source or open source licenses (x) Feel-good measures do nothing to solve the problem ( ) Temporary/one-time email addresses are cumbersome ( ) I don't want the government reading my email (x) Killing them that way is not slow and painful enough
Furthermore, this is what I think about you:
( ) Sorry dude, but I don't think it would work. (x) This is a stupid idea, and you're a stupid person for suggesting it. (x) Nice try, asshole! I'm going to find out where you live and burn your house down!
When you buy food at the grocery, do you think the money you spent just goes to the grocery store and never leaves to other people? The grocer had to buy the food from the wholesaler that delivered it in the first place. Then the wholesaler has to pay for the fuel for his trucks, using the money from the grocer. So part of the price of every organic grape you're buying goes to the fuel tax that got that grape to your local market.
Slashdot Mirror
One more reason to flee to the Cleve!

Oh man, makes me wish I hadn't posted above so I could mod you Insightful.

To be fair, a lot of people bit your sister. It was a crazy party!
"It never has"? Are you suggesting that the free market has never solved any problem, ever? That's absurd on its face. The free market gave us:
the automobile
the laser
the telephone
the telegraph
the airplane
the computer
the CD (both financial and physical)
I could go on pretty much ad infinitum but hopefully this is enough to make you rethink your comment above.
Except the one that takes over your webcam...
Dude, did you just share your Slashdot password on Slashdot itself?

Also consider the inventor, not an expert in any feild at all related to it but simply the guy that wrote the "Wonder Woman" comics.
I'd say that makes him an expert in drawing hot, tall, brunettes. That's enough qualification for me on any endeavor.
I had a roommate like that once. His room made a great place to dump bodies. Wonder what ever happened to him?

Sorry, but that won't work. The people of the Hawai'ian Islands have proven over the years you can subsist on only spam for many decades.
That sounds like an admission to being Wallace, to me.
What, nothing about penis size or how to make money at home? Things really were different back then.
Maybe you were too sarcastic in high school?
A lot of people don't like that, you know.
Really? You don't say?
