    The standard location for dog placement is under the center of the table. That way, there's easy access to the dog from any seat. Most dogs are automatically self-positioning.

    Less efficient models will move from station to station as needed, but these are more intrusive.

    1. WTF are you babbling about, Sunshine? I'm reading at -1, and your post looks like a non sequiter from the parent
    2. Knuth should explain how to properly go about computerized voting while he's got some media attention.

    Usually, if the business has a store in that state, they're supposed to collect sales tax for the state.

  13. Re:Go ahead America on U.S. Approves IBM/Lenovo Sale · · Score: 3, Informative

    I thought that IBM laptops were already being built in China. So any informal "technology transfer" would have already been going on. This is just selling them the business side of the operation. What, you're worried that they'll learn secrets American shady accounting practices and stock manipulation? Where the hell are they gonna outsource all their jobs to to pump up their stock?!!!!

    Actually, it's usually the other case. Management outsources the development of new modules to vodka-addled Russkis, and honest, tax-paying Americans get the thankless job of hacking through 3,364,283 lines of multi-layered macros in 192 modules to learn that it prints "! ".

    Those new Dyson's are so revolutionary that they create a suction 150,000 times more powerful than gravity! Obviously this is disguised alien technology attempting to infiltrate the Earth!

  17. Typical slashdot fuzzy reasoning... on New Dr. Who Episode Leaked · · Score: 1

    "Son of a bitch" and "bastard" are not mutually exclusive categories. Although I'm not sure if "bastard" is strictly applicable to dogs, since the majority that aren't owned by crazy old ladies aren't married.

  18. Re:Dr. Who sucks on New Dr. Who Episode Leaked · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually, I've wondered why SF has to be so realistic. What's wrong with having sets like a in a play, as long as they set the appropriate mood? Gives Dr Who / Blake's 7 / ST:TOS a whole new aspect. Hmmmm.... "Dr Who live", "Star Trek on ice"!

    Do they go back to their roots and use the same abandoned gravel pit that they've used for alien planet since 1974?!!

    #1 with a bullet, and a sometimes *nix user -- standardize your damn directory structures and startup scripts. Or at least come up with some sort of virtual linking scheme to provide one consistant view. "Well, *BSD puts it here, but on Linux it would be there and SYS 5 doesn't have one..."

    And get a windowing system that can be tuned to be efficient if one so desires.

    Bloody 'ell!

    "Are you the sort of person who would get the heebie-jeebies if you discovered that the working name for a computer network that would ultimately completely automate all commercial air traffic navigation across the country was called "skynet"?"

    Uh, yes, actually.
    Choosing such a name indicates either :
    A) astounding hubris
    or
    B) astounding ignorance of public perception
    on the part of the developers. Either is a bad thang.

    hey, I'm a nerd, I'm supposed to suck all the humor out of a joke...
