If the article header is accurate, then Pioneer should be informed that carpal tunnel syndrome is only an INSTANCE of RSI, and the two are not equal.
Good point. I'm amazed how poorly people (including most reporters) grasp the distinction between the larger issue of RSI and the specific problem of carpal tunnel syndrome. I've been battling RSI myself for a year, and continue to be asked (by the same people!) if I'm going to need surgery for carpal tunnel, etc.
People worry about "terrorism" more than "heart failure" because its (a) new
New since when - the Oklahoma bombing? The Atlanta Olympics bombing? Perhaps it is relatively new to the US, but if you've paid attention to world politics you'd be aware that these things have been going on in urban centers for decades. Perhaps your point is that the average American doesn't pay attention to events outside their own country.
There is nothing wrong about worrying/being concerned with terrorism. Being terrified is an overreaction, but then again, that's the whole point.
There's a huge problem with being more worried about terrorism than about the creation of all-powerful state agencies run with no accountability. Unfortunately that seems to be the case with American voters.
Certainly post-mortem investigations showed that Bush probably did actually win the plurality of votes in Florida.
They certainly did not show that. Check the archives of the Sydney Morning Herald, or one of the other non-US papers that reported the actual results of the full recounts.
Consider also the disenfranchisement of thousands of black voters, who overwhelmingly vote Democrat.
This guy's the kind of worthless fuck who's responible for comic books, genre fiction, and just about every art I enjoy to be regelated to the "unprofessional" catagory.
With all due respect to his message of "Simplify, simplify", Nielsen is too passionate about his mission to be practical in applying it.
Just look at his site
Dude, he's a usability engineer, not a designer. He is practicing what he preaches -- his site's focus is his writing, after all. He's probably too busy making money hand over fist to screw around with the fonts and colors on his personal site...
I did mine. Just sticked a "Intel Inside" sticker onto a street garbage can.
I've been in the habit of applying the 'designed for windows' stickers onto garbage cans for a few years now. Not sure if any co-workers think it through, but I still get a kick out of it.
Nice. +2 Informative for an unsubstantiated allegation by an AC. Good moderation is the key to keeping Slashdot a valuable source of information.
Unsubstantiated my ass - it's been on the websites and mailing lists for months. This is definitely not the first publicly announced DARPA funding for OpenBSD.
WARNING: I made those numbers up, but my point remains. The majority of tax dollars come from a small minority of taxpayers (the actually rich, not just the ones YOU consider "rich").
DISCLAIMER: I'm a bit bitter still so this view should be taken with a grain of salt. Perhaps my area was exceptionally bad.
Maybe but I doubt it - sounds about how things were in the 'solution centers' in '99 when I bailed out.
Funny thing was, my supervisor was an EDS-for-lifer and was hurt that I was 'abandoning the company.' Then a year later when I called to see if she'd be a reference, she'd bailed out too!
Yes, I build Perl, Apache, and mod_perl from source. But doing so makes a complete RedHat install a fscking nightmare. Every last RPM in their distro seems to depend on a Perl RPM install.
If you need to use a different version of perl than Red Hat prefers, just put it in/usr/local/myperl or whereever, and build mod_perl using that perl version. Then Red Hat can do whatever it likes with the perl RPM and it won't affect you.
Also in the 8.x series redhat does not ship apache 1.3x or perl 5.6. Only the latest 2.0 with perl 5.8 which no mod-perl modules is available.
After an install alot of downloading is diffinetly required.
Perl 5.8 works great here for mod_perl applications. Anyone using mod_perl in a production environment compiles from the mod_perl and apache source anyhow, so I don't see how this is an issue.
The protestors against the war here in the states are mostly being financed by the Worker's World Party and others in the "Hate America" clique. The warm bodies are mostly the "I hate Bush" crowd.
I hope this is the least accurate of your arguments, because my experience is 100% to the contrary. I've been in the two local peace protests this week. One was organized (financed? How much money do you think is involved?) by a student group, the other by a neighborhood group. All the 'warm bodies' (we call them people here) I talked to were concerned about sending our troops to unneccesary deaths, indirectly killing 10s of thousands of Iraqi civilians, sabotaging the United Nations, and establishing a horrible precedent for illegal and immoral invasions of weak countries. To be sure, there is plenty of anti-Bush sentiment, as he's the most obvious one responsible for all this, but it certainly isn't about him.
I was against this war (plenty of evil dictators in this world) until I found out how evil Saddam really is. If it turns out my soruces were lieing to me, then I may change my mind again, and also learn something about which sources to trust.
Did you sources tell you that, evil as Saddam is, his administration isn't the most brutal dictatorship around? Or that the US was actively supporting him when he was gassing his own people? (See GNN for details). If they didn't, then your sources certainly are not helping you critically examine Bush's claims.
Of course Hussein is an evil brute and we'd all be better off if he'd drop dead, but that's one thing and illegal invasions based on misleading claims are another.
Contributions to BSD don't really help us as much. ..
Speak for yourself - those of us who run BSD on our production servers find contributions useful.
If you pay a little attention to what the OpenBSD core team says and does, you'd realize that there is little-to-no danger that government funding will take the project in any directions but those stated in the project goals.
There are already exemptions for political parties, charities, and businesses you have a preexisting relationship with. I believe businesses can contact you if you've done business with them within so many months/years or if you're currently doing business with them.
This isn't a big problem for my household - 10% at most of the telemarketing calls we get would fall into one of those categories.
I mean, seriously, can't you see the same sort of stuff coming out of a Gore/Lieberman/Gephardt/McCain administration?
Lieberman maybe - not the others. I can't even imagine Bush's daddy pulling crap like this - he, at least, paid his government dues before he became president, and had some sense of the duties & responsibilities that go with the office. Too bad Dole didn't win in '96 and get reelected; I can't see him driving the country into the ground the way that W. and friends have been.
When I saw the title to this story, I thought that this would be another anti-internet radio story. And with the fact that Sen. Feingold's name was attached to the story, I thought that was certainly the case. I have to say that I don't usually like the Senetor's ideas at all (I'm a very strong conservative) but I LOVE like this idea. The fact that McCain (a strong conservative who's ideas I almost always like) is expect to co-sponser says alot about how good this bill really is. Whichever party your alegiance lies with, you've got to admid this is a pretty good idea.
Yeah, it's interesting how media ownership reform is one of the few issues that manages to appeal to people of all (or no) political stripes. The current system of concentrated, cross-medium consolidation is obviously not working for the vast majority of the people.

You're being an asshole. . .taping songs from the radio and giving them to friends is illegal, and always was
Check your facts before calling someone an asshole.
But since when, in a free society, are people allowed to destroy someone's livelihood simply because they don't agree with it?
Since day one? (stealing native american's land)
Since the war of northern aggression? (making the south's slave-based economy illegal)
Since the beginning of the labor movement? (labor activists and organizers fired)
Since industry moved all the good manufacturing jobs abroad?

they regurgitated quicksort with the precision of a patriot missile
Wait, I'm confused. The gulf war I missiles that killed more Israelies than Iraq's scuds, or the gulf war II missiles that shot down british jets?

Maybe you just don't know what funny is. Here is a list of 5 things that are always, without a shadow of a doubt, funny:
You forgot monkeys!

I never thought I'd see the day that "capitalists" is used in a derogatory fashion. Especially by someone who goes on to say "I like freedom more".
You are a truly confused and conflicted individual.
The essence of democracy: one person, one vote.
The essence of capitalism: one dollar, one vote.
See any conflicts?
So far Bush has to be one of the the unluckiest Presidents the U.S. has had in a while...
Perhaps you've heard the saying, "the harder you work, the luckier you get" ?
Maybe a friendly group of Perl/XML gods will read the book and produce a framework/toolkit that the rest of us mere mortals can use.
That happened years ago: the Apache XML project's AxKit.

You're mistaking "better" for "more widely used".
Read the post, it's no mistake. For live video streaming, Real is both better performing AND more widely used.
