In all the years I've been on slashdot, I've never seen an argument so well thought out, so willing to listen, and so intellectually consistent . Good work, jadavis and RsG.
Looks like they've taken the "on fire" string out. It's still present in 2.4.18-3 in printer.c, but in 2.4.20-8 it's been replaced with "unknown error". Sad to see the lighter hearted stuff go as development continues, but I guess it's part of the "maturing" process.
This actually isn't always true. For example, due to the IRA, certain vehicles are "tagged" for closer inspection. If a car is traveling from the west coast of england and travels straight into London, your car is closely monitored. I don't live in England, so I can't say if this policy actually means anything, but it is a valid example of the proactive use of cameras.
This type of "You got nothing to complain about" comment always comes up in discussions like these. This thread is about somebody with a loud, comedic work setting. It does not detract from what our (or anybody else's) soldiers have to endure, nor from any other dangerous vocation. Get over yourself.
Just like in the old days when I used to buy a "Windows" formatted disk and put it into my PowerMac 6600 AV. It simply brought up a window "This disk is not formatted. Format now?" Doesn't seem too hard for the average person to get accustomed to.
Providers (T-mobile, at least) have plans available that aren't listed online. I was able to get a plan over the phone that wasn't advertised and it fits me just fine. The only problem is what a pain it is to spend 10-20 minutes on the phone with a customer rep.
By the way, I do not work for any provider, and in fact, I completely hated T-mobile (kinda still do) -- but the price was right.
Globular clusters are deficient in heavier elements because they formed so early in the universe that heavier elements had not been cooked up in abundance in the nuclear furnaces of stars. Some astronomers have therefore argued that globular clusters cannot contain planets. This conclusion was bolstered in 1999 when Hubble failed to find close-orbiting "hot Jupiter"-type planets around the stars of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae.
Goes to show you that even if the probability of something happening is (seemingly) very low, the numbers the Universe presents to us still make it possible. People should be careful about drawing conclusions based solely on conjecture when they're speaking of the (nearly) infinite.
Computer Science seems to be the only profession in which we still have access to the people that helped start it. I've always enjoyed that. Take Whitfield Diffie, for example.

This is the funniest review I've ever read.

A service rep for another provider told me that people are leaving AT&T as fast as they can. Apparently, it's because of behaviour like this.

You don't need an over-priced pre-fab. Build your own machine. It'll take more time, but it'll be lots cheaper.

I fish the classic out of the closet and see if I can still play shufflepuck once and a while. As of last month, it still works fine.
I'm currently using OpenBSD in a work-related project. It's quite good, if not well documented.
I'm thinking of switching to Mozilla. I'm interested in the basics. How is it on blocking pop-over/pop-under ads?
