Nope, just went to his home page to see if he was a new account or something and that post was one of the first ones listed. The hypocrisy was too great not to call attention to it.

That's an apples to orangutans comparison. A better one would be, the company needs to hire someone who has built hinges using a lathe, why would they hire someone who's only experience is in designing and building lathes and teaching others to do so?
The correct answer would be, they'd be fools not to hire that person.
I would add to that the requirement that any law can only be presented to the committee after the President has signed it, and they have 2 weeks to approve or disapprove. At the end of two weeks, the law defaults to "disapproved".
Good luck getting monstrous laws passed under that regime!
How can anyone lose a debate against religious types? All you have to say is "You have an imaginary friend whom you can't prove exists, but continue to insist he does. Why are you not on medication instead of being at this debate?"
A file is essentially just a collection of data - no more and no less. To try and add attributes to that makes little sense and seems as futile as trying to say that each collection of molecules should have a tag saying what it is, who it belongs to and what it's for.
I disagree. I think being able to tag individual files using metadata (perhaps stored on the inode for the file, perhaps in a relational database, perhaps in some other form) could be incredibly useful. For instance, suppose you have a number of photos on your local PC. Being able to tag each photo with information on who the members are in that photo, in such a way that when you transfer the photo to someone else that information is saved and transmitted, too, would be incredibly useful.
Take two 256 bit random prime numbers, multiply them, and you have not "created" or "invented" the result but merely discovered it, or rephrased discovered its two factors.
Ah, but if you come up with a novel way to generate those random numbers, along with a novel way to store their representations for future use, then you've invented something and not merely discovered it.
Probably true. I used a public list of international airports, but didn't double check it against anything. And most likely, there are dozens of smaller airports with customs offices at them, even if they don't have "international" in their name. Hell, there are river ports with customs brokerages hundreds or thousands of miles from the nearest border. All of those are considered "borders" as far as the DHS are concerned.
(Fun fact, if you type "DHS" in Firefox, it'll suggest word replacements. One of those words is "Gestapo". Try it yourself.)
The route they're talking about here is I-5, which is a common route between either Tucson or Phoenix and San Diego
I5 runs north-south (as all odd-numbered interstates do), and runs from the border of Mexico through California, Oregon, and Washington to the border of Canada. You're thinking of I8 or I10.
If you're within 100 miles of an airport with an international terminal and customs, then you're within 100 miles of the "border". I've built a map using Google showing these radii, for those interested.
So it's not the majority of the country, but it's a big chunk of it. And all of this land falls under the TSA's direction. Welcome to your shiny new police state.
None of those answers were the right one. The conversation should've been:
Agent: What citizenship are you? you: <silence> Agent:Where you going? you: <silence> Agent: Where you coming from? you: <silence> Agent: Where do you live? you: <silence> Agent: How long you staying? you: <silence> Agent: You have anything in the trunk I should know about? you: <silence>
One of the examples in the linked article is a doctor with over $200,000 in debt, who now lives paycheck to paycheck because their loan payments are so high. If a medical doctor can't afford to pay back their loans, there's something wrong with the system, not the student.
You can if you leave the country. That's been my advice to every 20-something I know who's stuck with crippling debt (and one of the reasons I've refused to cosign for any of my kids' loans). Young people need to take their degrees and leave this burning ship while they can. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, all would welcome educated young folks.
Google's smartest move to stay relevant, despite what may or may not happen to search, was AdWords. By extending their advertising network beyond their own pages, they've ensured they'll always be relevant (at least as long as they continue providing accurate ads through their network, that is).
No, but figuring out how to correlate a third party's interests into a given search? That definitely seems like something that could (and should) be patentable.

Yes, you're right. Only a loser would ever use a piece of software that was copied from a previous, similar, piece of software.
Jeez, only a complete loser would have an 8-character user name.
Sounds like the way I got my first Linux-based job in '95, except I used newsgroups instead of Wikipedia.

Holy shit, there's some one Slashdot who doesn't use an RSS feed to get updates on what's on the main page? Git off my lawn!
Check and see if fetchmail can handle it, it does some converting from mail box types to others. Also, procmail might work for you.
Just make sure you don't accidentally start sending out those old messages all over again. Probably best to do the work offline, just to be safe.
I never browse Slashdot without a spare keyboard nearby for just this sort of occasion.
When people search for things or places, you can bet paid advertisers will top the results. So yeah, definitely a source of revenue sitting there.
Please remit $30 (USD) to my email address using PayPal so that I can replace the keyboard you just ruined with my coffee. Thank you.

To be fair, he did suggest that it be free up to a certain point. More efficient A/C units could still result in savings, though not as great.

FTFY. There is no problem that can't be solved by throwing hardware at it.
