Well, I heard the rumor that the Israelis had taken over the dealing in XTC, but hey, now that I heard it confirmed on slashdot that they're now taking over the crack trade as well, my, gosh.
All the food that I eat seems to take weeks to travel through my intestines now, since my last infection by what was probably some rotavirus. I hope I didn't catch it from some of the rich gene-tech companies I am travelling by.
I don't quite understand what better proposal he has to offer.
It looks like the solution would be to build an IDS from one piece. Taken to the logical conclusion, one would somehow have to throw all network traffic at some mainframe for analysis.
Obviously one reason most IDSs are not built this way is that it is insane to analyze that amount of traffic. It seems more likely that one would instead try to tune the initial filtering steps to report more events to the next stage.
Also, the non-IDS based security which many care about basically centers about avoiding the big pandemics; I am not sure slashdot will have much offer from a more "professional" point of view. Hell, I don't even log the hits from slashdot on my proxy ports as an attack;-)
Dial-Up is more risky, because a dialer can use the line to call a costly service.
Apart from that security through outdatedness might work sometimes, at least if the hacker possesses 1337 equipment, and is not living in some backwards country.
How about we reconcile your nuts theory and the "bacteria strengthen the immune system" by putting forward the hypothesis that:
When nuts are introduced into an untrained immune system (untrained because it hasn't encountered many enemies), then the immune system will (often) target them.
This kind of flaw is hard to fix, not because of the single flaw, but because it is likely that most other components of the system would have the same flaw, that is, if the system has lots of subdata "owned" by someone, fixing one flaw and going public about it would just have made people poke and prod at the other flaws.
As far as I know, the material in a broadcast(a concept which now is extended to the internet) is copyrighted, so you need a license anyway to retransmit it. There are limits to this right, as depending on your method of transmission, the content gets pushed i.e. broadcasted to tons of places. As far as I am concerned this includes the right to use deep links as long as the content linked to can stand by itself, and several courts have agreed to this concept(although you never know about these wacky US courts and international treaties pushed by the US).
Currently, neither broadcasts nor websites do enter the public domain, so you have no rights to upload them to P2P filesharing services. There may be exceptions to this, as for example when you are sharing drivers and utilities for hardware you can to some extent assume that this is in the interest of the manufactures, since the final user will have to agree to a license aka EULA anyway before using the software.
The second issue in TFA is that the web is mutating to a point where premium services are offered. This is to some extent the fault of the fucking users of the internet, since voice-over-ip users are relying on a "quality of service" that before was reserved to phone users. Moreover, the internet is competing with the phone lines for bandwidth, so it is only natural for carriers to start charging for voice-over-ip, one way or another, because when every Joe and his Mom are using it, it will be just the same service as the phone.
This will be good news for the scientists who are trying to make robot insects but just cannot nail it. But is there anything to suggest that this may be a more efficent form of flight than what methods we already have?
Yesterday, scientists created the first flying robot insects. We know who made the robot insects, so we can safely conclude there is someone out there making bees as well.
"so... would this HELP or HARM a typical PCB in the long run?"
The text about the conductivity across very narrow gaps is supposed to illustrate that it helps conductivity, so you need not be worried if your PC is put together less than perfectly, since Stabilant helps bridge the gap.
I have no idea what it would do to really fine circuitry, but supposedly it means contacts are better, so one might be able to exceed some specs.
I heard http://www.stabilant.com/ will work wonders with circuitry, and is great for floating your motherboard in, but it comes with a hefty price tag.
You cannot use AllPeers and find it amazingly fantastic at the same time, due to x*px >= 0.5 hbar, where px is the degree to which you are using AllPeers, x is the degree to which you find AllPeers fantastic, and hbar is the height of the bar you are in.
I have a feeling the official patch will be similar to the unofficial patch, with the only exception being that gates will be built in to allow software supported by MS (esp. own) to still use the callback functionality that the exploit uses. Not that this is a bad thing, I suppose they would need to sign all apps that use callbacks though, which might be slow.

Has the W3C finally gotten over its hatred of providing any easy tools for centering both text and block elements?
The best way I found so far which I find devious is using

Maybe something like http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/1 2/19/1740205&tid=156 mentionened on /. would appeal to you, although I wouldn't recommend it (well, people like me usually get to rewrite stuff like it)

Kids falling into cold water and surviving happens quite often.
;-)
There is something to kids which makes it easier for them to survive this than for adults. Now that would be a research topic
Anyway, I believe it would be wise to first get heart and breathing of a rescued person going before wrapping them in a warm blanket.
My girlfriend can do the same scan of a face in 0.33 seconds.

I don't quite understand what is going on here.

Hard herbs for smart women.
Troll? Btw. the troll of phaos looks great, I made it (or at least improved on the photograph of a sculpture).
.. then I'll order a Beowulf cluster of Segways.
You change part of the image, and the entire image gets dithered differently.
Bad for onMouseOvers, if you didn't notice the problem in time.

Computer games should round randomly.
This means that every little bonus that the player gets might have an impact on the integer result. Example: phaos.
The "other" neat thing is that the expected value of
floor(x+rand()) == x
with 0.0=0.0
You cannot use AllPeers and find it amazingly fantastic at the same time,
due to
x*px >= 0.5 hbar,
where px is the degree to which you are using AllPeers, x is the degree to which you find AllPeers fantastic, and hbar is the height of the bar you are in.

I was wondering how many people are out there who have their compilers set up and ready to compile it, seems there are quite a few.
But did you (or the OP) check whether the sourcecode matches the binary patch?
Did you audit the sourcecode for security leaks which might have been maliciously inserted?
