Many househoulds don't even have ONE BOOK on display.
How many is "many". Is this figure higher or lower than in the past? Hell, I can make up bullshit statistics like that myself.
Pretty shoddy reasoning for someone who claims they are with an institute of higher learning. Maybe this preceived decline in affairs is due to lousy colleges.
Personally I'd fly on Jihad airlines where they put a Koran in the seat back pocket, so you could clutch it too your heart as you stormed the cockpit and gave complimentary box cutters to you upon entry to the plane. There are so many flights, the odds of me being on one that goes down are so slim, its not worth worrying about.
You mean the record company wants them to pay back a million dollar advance? How horrible!
In reality the band got $1 million for selling 1 million records. Sounds fair to me. Even better, they got their money BEFORE they actually sold the records. Given the time-value of money, they actually did better than $1 Million.
Any list of "underreported" stories that includes stories published in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, only the papers with among the largest publications in the US, is flawed.
They should call it... things the left is pissed people haven't gotten more excited about or something...
Unstable people like Socrates, Martin Luther, Ghandi fought like hell for their beliefs. We remember them preciesly because they did not waver against the winds of change.
Once the government starts collecting this information, they're going to save a copy for themselves. Then the database will be available whenever they want to determine who someone is, such as when analyzing photos of protests.
Why, that would be horrible... walking around in public and someone being able to recognize you.
Or do you usually walk around with a paper bag over your head?

If you think credit card companies get a 20% cut on a transcation... well, you are on crack, frankly.
beacuse SWT is actually a nice cross platform toolkit, while Swing and AWT are horrible festering pieces of crap.
I must have missed the bit where we started rounding up and executing all the Jews.

Wow.. you infringed on the copyright on a(m) [free] article arguing that people wouldn't copy stuff if the price was right.
You are a real asshat.
I don't get it. Fox doesn't sue someone and its news.
How about a list of everyone they haven't sued?
Damn, must be a slow news day.
The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act makes this clearly illegal
No, it doesn't. Point out to me where this would fall under that act. The act requires fraud, causing of damage, etc...

...I'd buy one in a second. If it cut 15 minutes off my check in time at the airport, it would be well wroth it.
There's no reason why this mentaility wouldn't effect the NASA contractors.
I can see your dictionary must have fallen apart.
Yeah, that's why all the Bind and Sendmail authors were rounded up and shot year ago.
Which is fine I suppose, except that it seems a little beneath the editorial bar for the front page of Slashdot.
You are new here, aren't you?
Making everything in Java is only going to make the situation a couple orders of magnitude worse.
Are you really suggesting java is 100x slower than C/C++. Or do you just not know what "a couple orders of magnitude" is?
Wow, that's intuitive... I guess Linux really is ready for the desktop.

I don't see what the problem is.
So every court decision you disagree with is proof of this?
Typical slashdot reaction.... sad really.
Yep, time to sue K & R for writing 'C', the world's crappiest language. You wouldn't see buffer overruns in a real programming language.

Last time blues travel was on there.
Now we know what KDE 5.0 will look like.
Sounds like a great idea.

Yeah, like Stalin.... or Pol Pot.

Finally, though Microsoft is not mentioned, people might start to understand what a monoculture of poor quality software enables.
I blame K & R for writing such a fundamentially broken language in the first place.
Yep... whever you don't get your way, its because we are becoming like Nazi Germany.
Fucking grow up.
