Some frustrated users meted out one-star ratings for the album as their way of protesting Amazon's slow service, lowering the album's rating to three stars
I didn't see the ad, but happened to see it show up in my Amazon MP3 app on my phone due to the popularity. Listening to the album snippets, I assure you, it deserves the three stars.
They can use everything up within usable distance a lot more rapidly. If the greedy corporations are driving the outward expansion, then everyone else has to get by on what they sell you or their leftovers.
The current wording of the 4th Amendment SHOULD already protect us from these kinds of searches/seizures. The government is simply ignoring it, and We The People are allowing it to happen.
Funny what people will give up when they're scared.
I fully believe he could "learn" all that material in a week because he wasn't learning the material in the usual sense -- he was just learning the standard labels and terminology for things he already understood.
Or as a slight expansion on that, perhaps each new topic was immediately obvious to him.
The problem is the title: "Fukushima radioactive fallout nears Chernobyl levels"
The headline is actually worse than sensationalist: It's an outright lie. Fallout of Cs-137 and I-131 are at near Chernobyl levels, but the fallout, as a whole, is far far less than Chernobyl.
Yes, and fallout *at those particular stations*. To compare the overall fallout from Chernobyl (implied by the sensationalist title), they would need to factor in the distance from the sources (Chernobyl is much farther away from those stations) as it applies to wind/weather dispersion patterns as well as half-life of those isotopes.
If violation of civil liberties extends to wiretapping for suspected IP violations, I predict that many now docile citizens will rise up and wage revolution, both underground and in high court.
Only if it prevents them from TIVOing the newest episode of "Three and a Half Lost Heroes of Beverly Hills".
"Is that a copy of Knuth? Hang on—volume four? But he only finished the first three volumes in that series! Volume four's been overdue for the past twenty years!"
"Yup. We—or the Black Chamber—have a little agreement with him; he doesn't publish volume four of The Art of Computer Programming, and they don't render him metabolically challenged."
it is a methodology that tells you were you are, and can adapt if you take a wrong turn or if you change the destination
If you constantly take wrongs turns, maybe you need a better driver. If you can't decide where you want to go, nothing can give you directions on how to get there. None of this relates to the effectiveness of the GPS device.
Translating this back out of the car analogy is left as an exercise to the reader.
The planning is ridiculously costly, and the constant pressure makes people manic about their work.
That doesn't sound like any Agile methodology I've seen. One typically works on smaller, self-contained pieces of functionality over a smaller amount of time, which has very little to do with planning and very much to do with doing. Certainly nothing near as much planning involved with a massive waterfall software project.
You're in the difficult 50K to 100K segment, which demands some knowledge and lots of genuine, honest curiosity. If you had only waited a week or two, you would be in the 100K+, which only requires a 50% troll ratio.
Fire-fighting services are generally not optional mostly because fire isn't something you generally choose whether you want, and fire will spread to adjoining properties and get harder to fight as it does so.
Pay-as-you go fire-fighting is a fantastic idea, if you like the early Nineteenth Century.
Yes. That's how they get from planet to planet. Then, when some of them reach a planet and it gets hot enough, they divide and reproduce, and start growing other, more complex types of cells, and then quickly form intelligent beings who reproduce quickly into an army and take over the planet.

Junk science journalism FTL.
This post is an example of why I continue to read Slashdot.
Shutting it down will only trigger imitators. Heck, asking for shutdown may have already done that.

Sometimes you just need the ability to bring two points together when no straight line between them exists.
A straight line exists, it's just at a higher dimension.

It's also a giant mecha.
Yes, but does a Brazilian saying "I'm a Scotsman" make him a Scotsman?

Calling something Agile doesn't make it so.

Repeet in small wurds, pleese.

Eventually, if prices on these materials goes up enough, we may end up mining landfills for them.
Yeah, the summary was horrible.
It appears that the problem [...] is getting worse and may be hitting a peak somewhere in the neighborhood of 48 cores.
This suggests that the problem will get better beyond 48 core, which is clearly twaddle.
Are you aware that every time anyone has done a study of millionaires in the U.S. they find that the majority are self-made, first generation?
Citation needed. It's understandable how this would have been true during the dotcom boom, but otherwise I've never heard of this.
[...] the Orion-class vessel (called "Michael" in the book).
Full name Archangel Michael, field commander of the Army of God.
Duplication: that's what I get for not refreshing my view before replying.
"God was knocking, and he wanted in bad."
Perhaps your definition of "profit" is too narrow.
Yes. That's how they get from planet to planet. Then, when some of them reach a planet and it gets hot enough, they divide and reproduce, and start growing other, more complex types of cells, and then quickly form intelligent beings who reproduce quickly into an army and take over the planet.
You forgot the "???" and "profit!" steps.
The "civilized man goes native" motif isn't anything new
For an interesting diversion (as usual with that site) there's a large list of examples at tvtropes.
