Your project is a case study in bad management, though. Sure, you completed the whole thing in six days, but what are we left with? Documentation that's cryptic at best, and literally billions of bugs.
Ah well, I didn't find that particularly remarkable, since all of my cows have markings just like that. Actually, not all. I have one cow that has a street map of Detroit on it, but her mother got into the marijuana crop when she was pregnant, so she was always a little off.
I'm very glad that Slashdot finally added the ability to include informative pictures with their stories. For too long, I've seen news stories about cows and wondered to myself, "What exactly is a cow? What does one look like?" Now, thanks to this excellent feature, I no longer have to suffer the embarrassment of cow ignorance.
The cool thing about the Open Source movement is that just about anyone who's willing to can step up and become the "public face" of the movement.

If you're on Win98 or WinME, your entire operating system is already no longer supported by its vendor, so why do you care if your browser is supported by anyone? You're probably already a zombie in several spam networks, so any security vulnerabilities that show up in your browser are not going to affect you in any practical way.
I think once an OS vendor ends support for that OS, you really shouldn't expect third party software vendors to continue supporting it.
Ohio already had its chance to be Florida back in 2004. Those two states need to stop hogging the spotlight and let a lesser-known state be Florida for once. I nominate New Mexico.
My point is that giving a corporation millions in tax breaks in exchange for a very small number of low-paid jobs is not the best way to go about attracting employers to your area.
Hell, even a call center would offer more work opportunities to the local citizenry.
With the increasing popularity of Lights Out Management, attracting data centers seems like a poor use of corporate welfare, since only the lowest paid workers (rack and stack, junior technicians to push power buttons) will actually need to work on-site.
I just don't get how people are stupid enough to fall for #1. A check is just a piece of paper until it's cashed. Offer to void it and send it back to them through the mail. If they refuse, they're obviously shady, so just hang up. I guess it's the same reason people fall for all scams: they let their greed get in the way of their common sense.
#2 is a little more understandable since people tend to trust people in uniform, but giving anyone the kind of information they would need to steal your identity is just foolish unless you initiated the interaction yourself (say, by calling the gas company directly).
I should also add there's some iptables stuff involved too, but if you know the terms "squid" and "transparent proxy", Google will give you plenty of pages telling you how to set it up.
This type of throttling seems like it could be a real problem for Video On Demand applications, since suddenly slowing down your connection when you're streaming video could result in some pretty lousy viewing experiences.
Since Comcast itself seems like one of the companies poised to go into Video On Demand in a big way, this strategy seems like shooting themselves in the foot. Sure, they could have it throttle only if it's not Comcast's VOD, but then they run into the same issue with the FCC that they currently have with the P2P throttling.
I don't see how Comcast can do real content-agnostic throttling without screwing with its own content offerings. I guess that's the problem with being a bandwidth provider and a content provider at the same time.
They use a rocket engine. The fuel was derived from oil, which used to be dinosaurs. The dinosaurs used the wind (or "air") to breath, and the plants (and other dinosaurs) they used for fuel also used the wind in a similar fashion. Thus, the vehicle is technically powered by wind.
See? This green stuff is easy if you just put a little thought into it.
Like all Slashdot readers, I possess preternatural intelligence, and I have been blessed with unlimited knowledge from birth on a wide variety of topics, many of which were unknown to anyone else at the time. I'm also irresistible to women and, although only 3 years old, already possess incredible cynicism and am nostalgic for a time decades before I was born.
Because of this, like all Slashdot readers, I am able to provide opinions and factual information on virtually any topic posted here. Our information is always more accurate and reliable than the article, and all Slashdot readers are absolutely correct in everything they post, even when they contradict each other.
If you need any proof of these extraordinary claims, just browse any article here on Slashdot. The politics section is particularly good for this.
It's not really accurate either. My Slashdot UID has been passed on for generations, and will continue to be passed on. I'm actually only 3 years old. Some families pass on the family name, we pass on the family Slashdot UID.

Now all of my search results will have comments on them with advertisements for herbal V1@gra. Sweet!

Thank you Slashdot!
Um, don't open source the stuff you use to hurt other people with.
Well then where does that leave sendmail?
For those who are curios
I think the minifigs themselves would be more accurately labeled as curios, not the people wondering about them

I had no idea those damn Democrats were so interested in propping up false extra-solar planets.

Only on Slashdot would you not only get a joke written in C#, but also multiple replies complaining that it's not technically sound.
They've thought of that, but no one could figure out what to do when "Mickey Mouse" won the Presidency, so the idea was abandoned.

To be fair, the company now known as Atari has virtually no relation to the company known as Atari in the late '70s and early '80s.

Configure a linux box as a router, put squid on it, set up your whitelist, and you're all set.

Our cosmonauts have reported to have seen from space that Italy looks like the boot of Allah striking the Zionist regime.
The Jews control Sicily now?!
sure they can put a man into space, the problem has always been to get them back down safely once up there. When will they be able to do that?
In 20 years. It's like backing up your data: Concentrate on the backup infrastructure, we'll worry about restore later.

You can't expect to prevent theft at all in any kind of party.
Hell, if it's a really good party you should wake up 2 weeks later naked in an alley in Tijuana.
