Right, but it costs more to send the ads then the text. So it'll cost them more to send the bigger ads. Which means when you pay, They'll be getting your money and saving on bandwidth costs.
Why don't they just sell t-shirts or something, I'd rather pay $25 for a t-shirt than this, as at least with this I get a t-shirt and not just stiffed.
Okay various News services charge for *CONTENT* what exactly is Slashdot charging for? *Links to OTHERS content*. Am I the only one that finds this a little perverse? Slashdot survives on it's users to submit links, and others to create the content.
So, what we have here is this paradoxal existence: Charge the people that keep your site running and full of content.

   Legos were by far my favorite toy when I was a kid. The reason was because it was a fun challenge to see if you could make something with just 20 (or so) basic pieces (of course then there were the specialty legos which there are now a million and a half) But if these allow you to make any shape, what's the point? It takes all the challenge and imagination out of looking at that pile of disjunct legos on the floor and seeing what it could be: a Deluxe Super Moon Skimmer with missle ports... oh and a... It was fun cause it was hard and it took your imagination. I kinda pity the kids who grow up today (or didn't grow up) without legos. Those were the happy years (this is kind of ironic as I am only 20 but hey)
   Now I stare at a blank screen and a keyboard and see that quicksort function it could be =)
What 0 and Funny??? I was mearly pointing out the ludicrisy in unqualified statements that include the work never and I get a 0??? What's up with that? I guess at least I'm funny....

Just this week I bought a $200 pair of headphones (Sennheiser 590's) arguably the 3rd best pair of dynamic headphones manufactured today. As I was buying them (at work) everyone was ridiculing me saying their $40 headphones were fine... Believe me they were extremely impressed by the audio reproduction.
Maybe some day I'll upgrade to the $15,000 electro-static headphone and vacuum tube amp combo Sennheiser manufactures.... Some day....
I do belive it's Up,Up,Down,Down, Left,Right,Left,Right, BA Select Start... and you should get the ultra secret Cheat menu where you can remove those damn ads...
I am a Sophmore (First year student with credits of a Soph) at the Colorado School of Mines, which it happens does not have a Computer Engineering major. So, I decided to go with an Electrical Eng. and Computer Science Dual Major. My goal has always been a Computer Engineering degree, which I plan to persue as a grad student. So I'll walk out of college with 2 B.S.'s (EE and CS) and a Masters in CE..... It'll just be impossible to find a job : p
But anywho, I think you really need to look at what you want to do... Many colleges look at Com Sci as programming only, and if you want to do that, there's your major. However if you want to actually build and design Com Eng (which is much akin to Elec Eng) is your best bet. If you don't know I would really say go for a CE, you'll be much more marketable, as you can do more than just program, and you will pick up programming on the way. But hey that's just me.
I 100% agree with electronic voting, and the way Belgium does this is even better. Everyone is dismissing e-voting because it is "unsecure." I've seen more what-if's than in a NASA brainstorming session. Well here are a few for yah against the current voting system...
What if people vote under the alias of a dead man?
Oh wait that happened in Chicago during the Kennedy-Nixon election
What if the precinct happened to lose a ballot box in transit?
Oh wait that happened in Florida this year
What if the election officials swap ballots or change results?
Oh wait that probably happens every year somewhere
My advice? Adapt... Electronic voting is safer, more convient and a hell of a lot more accurate.
Everyone called for Florida because they fucked up on the exit polls. They called it for Gore when less than 5% of the actual votes were counted. They call things based on these polls not on actual votes.
Go ahead and blame Nader for Gore's loss. Start crying about it... But the fact is if Gore was a better canidate all those people would have voted for Gore. The only person that cost Gore the election is Gore.
I'm already sick of hearing about "...if there was only Bush and Gore, Gore would have won" Well guess what? IT'S NOT SO WAKE UP! Bush wins (thank god) and life goes on...
Does everyone realize that we could have neither canidate with 270 electoral votes?
Using CNN's current listings, if Bush takes CO, AR,FL,NV, and OR, giving him 267 EV's. And Gore takes AZ, IA, WI, CA, WA, AK, and HI giving him 265 EV's.
This would give neither canidate 270 EV's. It's my understanding (I very well may be wrong) that neither canidate would have the sufficent EV's to become president. If this is correct... What happens????
The real question for me is this: does it support the nVIDIA GeForce2 GTS? When I tried Mandrake 7.0 it read it as a GeForce 256 and I couldn't get X-win to work. I would love to get a linux distro on my computer, but I keep having problems with linux not supporting the hardware on my computer...
The fear of mass destruction does not lie in the creation of these molecules, but in the creation of a self-replicating molecule that causes great harm (kida like RNA with a chainsaw). As to whether this "grey goo" death is even resonable is anyones guess. Terminator-phobia seems to run rampent in todays society. This is simply genetic engineering taken to another level... and will we die because of it? Maybe, however there is huge vaule for helping to curing many diseases that plague society.

This "grading" , as far as I can tell from the article, was done by, in all likelyhood, a bunch of 75 year old bastards who couldn't f***in' turn on their computer without help from their 18 year old sex to.... I mean assistants. So they are operating on second hand knowledge from people who aren't even listed. And what about this "gained access almost every time" ? How many times did they try and did they friggin have a printout of every employees' password... There are some things missing here from the article that I would like to see before I pass judgement...
That's just my two cents though....

I being a Freshman (Sophmore credit-wise) at the Colorado School of Mines see this from the inside... CSM is one o the top Engineering schools in the country (Teaching techniqes have taken from here to places all over the world) The difference is pretty easy to see if you simply look at avg. starting pay for grads... the avg starting pay (this avgs ALL fields from Metallergical Engineering to Com Sci) is 45k and placement rates at 98% within six months... That is just plain impressive... Also College degrees encompass much more than the small fields that IT schools offer. I personally am dual-majoring in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. And I'm really not trying to be egotistical but you put my resume next to that person who got that IT education and there is no comparison. And even stranger I plan on going to grad school and study Computer Engineering and Physics(always been a love of mine). I will end up with a MUCH greater overall education and experience. If I complete my plans I end up with an EXTREMELY marketable resume and my career path is limitless, from programmer to researcher to management I will be qualified to do it all... and if I simply decide to minor in business I'll be set... I feel that a university education will simply take me Much further than not to have one

Yah, you're right... noone's been able to mass produce science genius' ... oh wait I guess Germany did that in the 30's and 40's ....
