The easiest way to accrue it is to post early (at the top of stories), often (to as many stories as possible) and inane (don't say much and you are less likely to get modded down).
Just posting reasonable comments is probably even easier, but later comments tend not to get moderated as much, so the points may not flow in. Also, some mods have fun ideas about what is reasonable.
It would be better if Apple added good support for FLAC<—>Apple Lossless to itunes, so that it didn't matter for people buying stuff from the itunes store, or for people buying from stores other than the itunes store.
Apple's occasional fit of our-way-or-we-don't-give-a-shit makes it awful hard to want an ipod, despite the nice hardware.
The audio is a 128 kb/s mp3 audio stream packed inside of a flash video file.
Mplayer will demux the stream and dump the audio to a file with no loss in quality (I imagine that most semi-functional video software will do this).
So it isn't good enough for someone who is fussy, but it is plenty good enough for your typical music fan (who is going to be playing it back on $2 headphones, or their laptop or cellphone).
There is nothing good about the material you quoted. It is the mental equivalent of diarrhea.
I say this as someone who often posts things like "Is Vista really that bad?" and "Most companies would love to have a failure as successful as Vista."
Yeah, good thing that teachers are the only people who don't know where their knowledge area stops and express their opinions as facts. Imagine if most people were like that.
That isn't what I meant. If a cop can disappear you for not having papers, then a cop can take away your papers and then disappear you for not having papers. So if there is some reason that makes it okay for the cop to disappear people, all he has to do is use that reason, and he can disappear any people he wants.
More directly (but still obliquely...), fight the disease, not the symptoms.
I would think that the stuff in the article would be trivial compared to the tensile strength necessary for the cable to be able to hold itself up. After that, I would be worried about the atmosphere pushing on it (again, it doesn't seem like this would be a big deal if the cable were strong enough to support itself).
On the other hand, it is hard to show a great deal of harm from an anonymous comment on a website (because most people won't even read the comment, and most of those who do read the comment will take the anonymity into context).
I suppose there is also the issue of whether the eatery is dirty or not.
It becomes more problematic. If sites are required to produce such information, the next step is requiring that they store it.
Without precedent, it seems like web sites should be able to protect themselves by disposing of information that is not publicly posted (because laws usually aren't retroactive).
Liability, due to bad jury decisions, is responsible for a big chunk of health care costs. So is the AMA, which controls the number of student positions available.
(Doctors *should* be held responsible for mistakes, but the current system doesn't do it right, there is not a reasonable relationship between the severity of the mistakes and the penalties imposed)
You and an AC reply both mention library size and IP concerns.
The packed versions of Jquery and Prototype both result in serving about 30kb if the browser-server combo supports gzip (which it should...). 10kb is better than that, but not hugely, and that 10kb isn't all that likely to include a selector api (which, other than papering over browser differences, is why you use a library in the first place).
Jquery is available under an MIT license (basically, copyright statement+disclaimer), so it isn't exactly complicated to deal with (no doubt a serious lawyer would wonder if the author of the library is trustworthy, so it doesn't take care of everything, but that's pretty fringe).
Jpeg works, mostly, by discarding the least important information in the image (this is pretty obvious, my intent is to put that thought in that order; it seems like the intentional discarding part of lossy compression gets pushed to the back of the line too often).

Abstractions leak. All of them.
Karma is roughly sum(moderation).

Have you been trying to have sex with Slashdot?
It's more of an 'internet discussion site' than it is anything that you could have sex with.
What, do they squirt it?

Torrent good!!!
You do realize that most of the routing of letters is done by computers, using OCR, right?
The crap I get, I hope that people buying me things are having problems.
It's a state school, the whole semester is drinking time.
Ha!
(Of course, I did go to a state school...)
And side to sides.

So what. If people are being disappeared, the justification doesn't really matter.
Before Anonymous, millions of people knew what Scientology was really all about because it was obvious.
Python has strong, dynamic typing (identifiers are not constrained to a type, but you have to create a new object to coerce something).
Generally, the motivation beyond oddball security decisions is to appear to be doing something.
Most of the pyramids are square (as opposed to say, rectangular or triangular).
