Progress against any of them is progress against all of them. With any luck, a sufficient defeat in Canada will allow Canada to get a foothold in the world music industry for the near future as the old guard is defeated in a long series of battles.
"so we might as well shut the story down now."
Nah. Let's suggest for him to go to the Patent Commons once he's finished, and *then* shut the story down.
"You should not have to read a book 3-4 times before you discover depth in it. "
I completely disagree. I think you should be able to read a truly great book as many times as you want; each time interpreting the book entirely differently due to the influence of the previous readings on you. A book that you can read twice is good, a book that you can read three times is better, but a book that works on many many levels, that changes the reader's very self is better still.
I thought Snow Crash was an amazing book, but then again I read it during highschool when a lot of the stuff I was reading was Star Trek : The Next Generation and Forgotten Realms type paperbacks, so mabye compared to that it was amazing while compared to the classics of mankind(whatever you want those to be), it's only so-so.
Does this sound farmilliar at all?
For those not in the know, there's a somewhat similar site to slashdot called Kuro5hin, and a bunch of people from k5 fucked off and created a competing site, called husi (no Url because it sucks). Back when husi first started there were a whole bunch of messages very much like this one plastered on k5. coincidence? Or mabye this is just a standard guerilla warfare tactic of modern companies?
layout is in any way "girly" is pretty damn derogatory "I can't say that I've met any girl over the age of eight who said, "OMG!!! PONIES!!!""
The point however is that you have met girls *under the age of eight* who have said this! This is the target market that the/. crew are aiming at today, not your average woman.
It's probably possible to make a somewhat reasonable pinkscale monitor device, if you give any credance to musician/genius Wendy Carlos. Check out her oil canvas paintings.
for those who are really lazy; This is an example: this picture is made from white, black and red light alone, yet the human mind will parse it as full RGB mostly. Interesting stuff, imho.
I dunno, I agree addiction is generally a symptom of an underlying issue, some people just need something to fill part of their lives and when they find something, fill their lives with it, be it drugs, or religion, or games, or porn....or slashdot. I had to add that... I just had to!
in the meanwhile...woa this form feild is FUCKED UP in Solaris' Netscape.
and there's no submit button. wtf. yet another browser I can't use with slashdot now. (first lynx, then elinks, then safari, then dillo, now netscape??) Then again considerring the subject matter, mabye I should be thankful?
Ideally I'd like to get more addicted(in the sense of this thread) to math. I used to be, once. When the only alternative to math was working fulltime as a dishwasher (since my computers weren't really capable of doing anything interesting programmingwise, at least with my skill level, and I didn't yet have a piano).
I think I'm going to make that my goal for today: seek out math enablers.
Thank you kind sir
You have no idea what the hell they were thinking. You can make some educated guesses but that's it.
Am I wearing jeans today because
a) they are the only thing in my closet
b) because jeans are comfortable
c) because I don't see wasting some salesman's time, some casheir's time, some trucker's time, some gas station pump attendant's time, some banker's time, some manager's time,
some oil manager's time and thirteen government official's time just so I can have a pair of jeans that are faded, but faded by the manufacturer instead of by use?
d) because I actually get paid to wear these jeans, and I'm a corporate plant.
e) because I'm a dirty good for nothing GNU/Hippy
f) I'm a homeless bum
g) I can't afford it
h) I'm a stupid pothead
i) some other reason?
"Do you trust the one in the white lab coat, or the one in the bike-racing suit more?"
I mean if we're in an operating room, I'd probably be somewhat suspicous of the lab coat but not for professionalistic reasons, but rather pragmatic reasons; reasons that actually have a reason other than mere speculation: if you have a white lab coat you can clean it and be aware of dirt easier. Certain types of uniforms are OK if they are the right tool for the job. But most people do not gain significant advantages from their clothing(I'd say a lot of people lose...I mean how many office shoes could you run from the police effectively in?)
If people want to make a guess about me and guess wrong, they are welcomed to it. It's their loss, mostly.
Oh and yes when my job requires it I dress spiffy and professional. But only insofar as it's required(unless I have some reason to do so. I've been known to surprise my peers by occasionally showing up to school in black & whites complete with tie, for no other reason than I felt like it, or that I had nothing else to wear. If anything wearing a suit to me can mean I'm either too poor or too lazy to do anything else.
Summary:
If you see me in a suit: assume I'm a lazy bastard
If you don't see me in a suit: I'm not being lazy, somehow. Unless you notice I'm also posting on slashdot, of course...

Problem 1 with your post: You assume everyone lives in your type of society. Different survival tactics work for different areas. Unless I'm missing something in game theory, which is possible
"but using THAT type is force is NOT justifiable. "
Sure it is. You survive through it, and you justify it to yourself later.
"The best way to handle the problem"
Problem 2 : never assume you have the right problem definition. Who knows what the problem is? Mabye the problem is insufficient funds to social programs, or too much funds altogether to social programs. Or mabye it's that you've had a bad day at work today.

if Kill $group posts are illegal, what about hypothetical Kill $group posts?
ie
IF $Q THEN Kill $GROUP
...
If the americans invade, then kill all the invading americans.
is this post illegal?
What about posts that talk about posts that say "Kill $GROUP"? Wouldn't that make your post illegal? I mean they tend to include "Kill $GROUP" don't they?
Slashdot Mirror
/. is more devious. They block your IP address so you can't post further comments for like a month or so if you get modded down enough times.
...
It's not just you that often can't post, but your family, your friends, your neighbors

All of the stuff in this article could easily be covered under current, nevermind future DRM schemes. And Lonevo(sp?) is certainly involved in that.
and did you squish it?
