Shouldn't this be a Slashdot Politics story instead?
I fail to see how this has anything to do with anyone's online rights...
I'll bite.
What are the names of the two political entities that are responsible for *every single law* regarding the internet? Here's a clue, Libertarians are against such laws and the Green party actually likes using the internet to communicate with people.
It's admittedly slightly specious reasoning to assume that this is why the YRO tag got stuck on this article, but with a little clever thinking the dots do connect.
Seeing a third party biting into the two groups whom no one completely agrees with but which nevertheless have been responsible for the limitation of our rights on the internet easiily earns the YRO tag. The submitter just forgot to mention it.
It has a circulatin of 425? That means, what, about 10 people on the editorial staff? 20, maybe? Am I to accept this as the heartbeat of Crawford, TX?
A town's newspaper doesn't speek for the town. The town certainly doesn't speek for the state. The state doesn't really matter to the rest of the country.
Yet it's important to a news site that has over 2 billion hits and is read around the globe. I hope the Slashdot union boss is getting paid well enough for his incredible services.
(Today is the day I filtered out the Politics topic because I just can't stand watching Slashdot do this to itself.)
If your fortune teller told you that it must be true. Most of them hate Bush (in psychic terms: they love Kerry) so to hear one concur with Republican hopes that the economy won't suddenly turn sour implies a very strong possibility it's true.
Though I must add that they intend to see Kerry win the election. My sources informed me of a psychic who tuned in on Bush and Kerry during the debates and was reading lots of love going out to Bush from half the nation with lots of hate coming from those same people towards Kerry. Luckily she diverted the hate back towards Bush during the middle of the debates so Kerry was capable of performing fairly while Bush's powers were diminished.
Designed to possibly delay pollution by 3 years for every 100 while at the same time solving a bigger problem for the rest of the world: the United State's economic success.
It's good that it reduces those dangerous CO2 emissions though. Plants are getting out of hand.
In other news, the long known but commonly ignored fact that UV light causes ozone to be produced from O2 is now noticable thanks to the apparent increase in ozone production following large depletions of the layer.
MMS stands for Microsoft Multimedia Streamer. If your browser chokes on the mms mime-type just feed the address into xine or whatever you use and it should play.
Brown leather purse-like wallet. One sections hold credit cards and bills folded over twice, the smaller section holds a few SmartMedia cards for my camera. It has zippers on it so nothing ever falls out.
That CNN quiz seemed more like a push poll. I download the Daily Show every day, but the only real reason I knew the answers to the questions is because my girlfriend is strongly anybody-but-Bush so I dig up dirt from both sides to humour her.
Besides, I always figured the crowd watching O'Reilly were the people who watched talk shows during the daytime and then O'Reilly at night just to feel smarter while still getting inflamatory characters onscreen. The conservatives I know are much more boring than that and stick to Brit Hume, who serves more constructive conversation anyway. O'Reilly's followers no doubt have a good smattering of liberals who think they should be Republican because no one who yells as much as O'Reilly could possibly be wrong. Sheep.
Is this software as good as the ever-extensible Kwiki implementation?
Talk about looking gift horses in the mouth. That's like seeing Houdini get out of a lock box hanging from a crane and asking "Yeah, but can he levitate?"
The point is Microsoft put something out that's open source. If it were 30 shades of awesome they'd be selling it instead. For now it's just there for the community to improve upon and keep.
We really do need a larger cap. Since the cap was first started and the random moderator selection was first instituted, haven't Slashdot's numbers grown enough that twice as many moderators could be made and posts can receive up to twice as many points?
This system was instituted back when the population of moderators didn't have the time to deal with a ten point system. Has Slashdot not at least doubled by now? Think of how many times over the number of willing moderators has multiplied.
Actually, I'm thinking of my high-school buddy who was, !!, a Quaker. They live in S.C. and go to a Methodist church, but their official church is in N.C. and have remained Quakers for the 10 years that I've known them. They don't drink and they don't vote.
I was going through random search on google image search when I came across some computers nearly identical to this one. Search for "grm" to see what I mean. Is there some tie between the two products?
As everyone and their pet monkey have said, this program doesn't run on many versions of Firefox, including 1.0. The program seems simple enough for fixing's sake, but I don't know exactly what needs to be changed for compatibility. Is there some sort of source migration guide for Firefox that I just haven't been able to find yet?

If the U.N. is really that far off then it's probably safe to ignore them on other matters as well.
Kerry: I supported the Child Online Protection Act in 1998 which would have made it illegal for commercial Web sites to make available sexually explicit content that is harmful to minors unless they restrict access to adults by using a credit-card or adult-access code. The courts have blocked enforcement of this statute. They have argued that there may be other ways, such as Internet filtering software, to protect minors from inappropriate material while ensuring that legitimate speech is not chilled or punished. Whatever the courts eventually decide, our nation must act to make the Internet safer for children by protecting them from harmful material in a manner that is consistent with the First Amendment.
He's saying that he wants children as far removed from the "bad" stuff as possible but it's the courts that are causing the draconian censorship we see now since they refuse to force the implementation of a system that is opt-in for pr0n and etc. I can't agree with that more.
Since it's obvious the moderators couldn't understand my humour, I was referring to this comment I made earlier about the demo release. Getting FP was purely incidental and the "Yay!" was directed at the fact that there was finally news of the Linux release.
Show them Morse Code. Show them how information can be sent using a whole bunch of yes's and no's, on's and off's. Show them that 1's don't really get caught going around the corners of cables, that they don't need to sink $30 into a "digital audio" cable when any RCA will do, that data can be sent using light, radio, or current without giving you cancer or cramps, that extremely simple adds up to extraordinarily complex, just like the rest of the universe.

Out of curiosity, have they fixed the bug were filtering things doesn't work?
They promised no partisan front-page politics stories until they fixed it...
I just noticed that it did that.
Damn.
One of my favorite Trivial Persuit questions went about like this:
How many of the singers on Frank Sinatra's duets collection recorded in the studio with him?
Answer: None.
Sinatra's music was fairly manufactured. I think you'll often confuse him with the musicians who wrote his music.
Who is Bobby Derren?

That sounds like Libertarian propaganda to me.
P.S. I'm a firm supported of the Libertarian party and even more so Bash #4753

The Bush Team is going to have a War Room to provide live rebuttals to thousands of conversative blogs.

\Con*ver"sa*tive\ (k[o^]n*v[~e]r"s[.a]*t[i^]v), a. Relating to intercourse with men; social; -- opposed to contemplative.

What's wrong with a gift horse?
Go ask a Trojan, if you can find one.
Trojan?
Like when the thingy bursts through the gates and breaks open and all the men come out and wreak havoc?
Are you comparing Microsoft to condoms?
Is this software as good as the ever-extensible Kwiki implementation?

I think this calls for an Ask Slashdot.
If web designers focused more on the information they want to deliver rather than its appearance, this would be less of an issue.
Tell that to the porn sites.
What I want to know is what we are doing to stop them from continuing their infiltration into our personal lives that we live behind closed doors.
I'm sorry, can you give me examples? Start with the "continuing" part.
Actually, I'm thinking of my high-school buddy who was, !!, a Quaker. They live in S.C. and go to a Methodist church, but their official church is in N.C. and have remained Quakers for the 10 years that I've known them. They don't drink and they don't vote.
Quakers vote? Since when?

You're right, one must be wrong.

What are you talking about?
The U.N. has Rwanda as the highest per capita prison population.
Meanwhile for drug offences there are three countries leading the U.S., according to the U.N. again.

Show them Morse Code.
Show them how information can be sent using a whole bunch of yes's and no's, on's and off's.
Show them that 1's don't really get caught going around the corners of cables,
that they don't need to sink $30 into a "digital audio" cable when any RCA will do,
that data can be sent using light, radio, or current without giving you cancer or cramps,
that extremely simple adds up to extraordinarily complex, just like the rest of the universe.
Show them that there's no magic involved.
