And zapping PRAM just became more fun. Toss it in the microwave instead of having to hold down 15 (exaggeration) keys at the same time in some sick attempt at becoming Digital Twister Champion.

Google Image Labeler

Would it be too far out there to propose that your "payment" is finding the right images when you search google for a specific word? That you have to spend less time clicking the "next" page, or trying to further refine your search?
I don't mind spending a few minutes a day doing this if I know that it's going to help me search in the future.
While I agree that there should be some bonus time for doing well, I can understand that they don't want to give you too much feedback. The way I see it, the point is to get a good cross section of what people would label an image, not find the 2 people that see each image the same way. If you've got people doing really well together, then they obviously see things the same, and it is probably time to pair you up with someone else.
The problem comes from situations that require split second decision making. A car or even a motorcycle can easily kill not just the operator but those around him or her. What happens when you've had those few drinks, and some hotshot biker decides to fly past you at 80 miles an hour while doing a wheelie (I live in Atlanta), and you can't see his headlight when you switch lanes because it's pointed up? Don't laugh, this happened to my girlfriend who was sober and luckily is very aware of motorcyclists.
If you don't have split second reaction time, have fun explaining to the police that the alcohol in your system had nothing to do with the fact that you just killed someone (even if it was just as much his fault as yours).
Alcohol impairs our judgement, plain and simple. Some can drink more or less before they feel that same buzz or get drunk, but BAC is BAC, it's a percentage of your blood that contains alcohol.
Just because you feel fine and unimpaired, doesn't mean that you are.
Yeah, but your average person isn't going to be taking part in piracy.
There may be a lot of people pirating, but how many of them are going to want to do it when google can either kill their account, or submit any information they used when signing up to the appropriate authorities? Don't think people aren't stupid enough to enter their real data when signing up, because believe me, they are.
Pahroza is seeking donations in order to work on his slashdot article and comment reading skills full time. At present he is able only to skim the articles, and able to read only a portion of the higher rated posts.
Should enough donations be received, he can become a full time slashdot reader, and ensure that all posts and articles are read completely.
Drag and drop and wonder why things don't work the way you want them to, but rather how the IDE thinks you want them to.
They do serve their purpose in assisting people with spending less time working on the UI implementation of the code they write by hand. I think a good example of that is XCode.
As usual, there is no Mac OS X installer available for the Sun Java[tm] Studio Creator. There do appear to be sources for SteadyState and JGraph. I'm downloading them now, we'll see what I can make of it.
They're only going to 60 meters. That's not very far. If you want to hear what the sky sounds like at 60 meters, you could always stand on the roof of a small skyscraper, or go skydiving.
I believe that having a free development environment opens the door for many of the people out there with incredible ideas that do not work for a company that can afford to pay for the dev environment.
These are the same people that tinker around in their free time and come up with great ideas.

Global warming is what happens between ice ages. I don't know what else there is to say about it.
Now THAT was solid gold.
Which means you haven't been listening to them as long as those that have been listening to (record) albums.

I see what you did there.
Ahahaha. pwned!

It works just fine with Firefox in WinXP. Had no trouble whatsoever, and damn it to hell if it isn't a little addictive.
As an end-game raiding priest, I approve of this message.
Just google "self immolation vietnam"
I wonder whether it's possible some of the people doing this really want the truth to come out? That someone "accidentally" screwed this up?
Oh, wait, we're talking about the government?
Nevermind.
Check out WebGUI.
It's open source, configurable, easy to maintain, and easy to learn.

I've got a 6800GTO (in my cheapo Dell) that comes with PCI-E. I was able to make the change from 12 to 16 in mine without any problems (so far).
Hell, just litigious shows SCO as a first hit. So does a search for just bastards.

Why are you whining about people whining ?

That doesn't really sound like a back door, but more like opening the front door for you to come in and help out.
I agree on all counts.
