There was a time when half the USB flash media readers on the market were based on the same pirated designs -- at least according to hardware folks I used to work with who'd be in a better position to know than I am (or, most likely, you are). I'm fairly sure this is a bigger problem than many people realize.
If the edits in question had been made by the staff of a Republican, does anyone doubt that fact would be omitted from the summary?
Had a Republican done this, we would have been informed of his party and had to suffer inane comments about the stifling of freedoms under the Bush administration.
Just sayin'.
There are 360 degrees in a circle because there are 365 (point whatever) days in a year.
The ancient Greeks were more primitive than we are today; lacking computers, they couldn't manage a simple off-by-one error, and had to fall back on the less sophisticated off-by-five-and-a-long-decimal error.
...rumors that the keynote announcing the Intel deal, which included a demo on a PowerMac, was in fact powered by a quad-Pentium powered box.
The 'about' window was trying to say that it was a Pentium 4, not there were four Pentiums. The formatting may have been a bit confusing for some folks.
I thought there already was a robot in No Man's Land... He was strapped to some guy's back. Robin and Nightwing saw him on their way into the city. Or was he a cyborg?
I don't really know. Ironically, I would have to be a bigger geek to say something geeky.
Is Sendmail still used because it ships as the default mailer with almost every flavor of Unix?
Yes. Yes it is.
Just like Internet Explorer is still used because it ships as the default browser with every flavor of Windows, and Apple Mail is still used because it ships as the default mail client with every flavor of Mac OS X, and so on. This surprises you because...?
The ultimate test of the chemistry hypothesis is be to construct life from inert chemicals off the shelf.
You've done an excellent job of hiding it, but you're arguing in favor of creationism here. Either 'life' appeared naturally out of millions of random interactions of inert chemicals, or it was created by something supernatural.
If you're going to advocate creationism, then at least come straight out and say it.
I suspect they're engaged on some wacko conspiracy: "Do as much as we can to lose money and then blame it on customers. And then, once we've reached bottom, we'll... um... well, we haven't figured that part out yet. Our goal is to simply piss off consumers, hit bottom, and then blame folks."
I'm not sure, but I think 'collect underpants' was in there somewhere. Then stage three is profit.
calling the/. crowd the "general public" is a bit of a stretch, don't ya think?:-P
Actually, General Public is CmdrTaco's commanding officer. He's one of the secretive figures in the shadow government agency that actually runs Slashdot. I'm told he's helped out occasionally by General Protection Fault and Colonel Panic.
Is anyone else subtly annoyed that 'exportation' is a word?
It sounds like something completifically inventorated, but sure enough the dictionary verificates its existification. I am extremifically annoyarated to be denyified this oppurtunitization to drop a Bush joke.
Screwed the cable line into the modem, turned it on, attached it to the Linksys router, turned it on, attached that to the LAN port on my Mac, turned that on, and presto! A working internet connection!
Step three... There's no step three. There's no step three!
What about when I have one mail address on my server with a lot of aliases pointing to it?
There's a big difference between spoofing the from field and setting the reply-to field. Setting the reply-to is totally legit way to handle the situation you're describing, while spoofing the from has no legitimate application that I've ever heard.

One. It is a fact that urinating in the ocean produces liquid. The amount can be calculated based on the flow rate and duration of urination.
Two. It is a fact that a flow of liquid into the ocean will result in the ocean containing more liquid.
Three. A greater quantity of liquid in the ocean will lead to a reasonably predictable rise in global average sea level.
Four. An increase in sea level will result in flooding in low-lying areas.
When I look at the points, I see a reasonably watertight chain of logic. So for God's sake man, don't pee in the ocean!

And though I agree that space is neat and all, Velcro is actually doing alright for itself in the innovation department.

- Actually, it uses an advanced system of gyroscopes (based on Segway technology) to prevent users from placing it near their ears.
- Well, okay, you can put it up to your ear. But it'll give you cancer.
- None of the cool kids put it up to their ears.
- Putting it up to your ear would be circumventing the advanced voice security features and may violate the DMCA.
- You can't put it up to your ear because you don't have one. You can, however, put it up to your GNU/ear.
- Actually, you can put it up to both ears. Imagine putting it up to a Beowulf cluster of ears!
And I'm spent.--
