Every employee has a right to contact an employer. It's the employer's job to have a system to allow for that communication. Has it been shown that each one of these employees used a spam bot? If you have thousands of employees, you should be ready for them to contact you, just as you build a bridge strong enough to support nothing but fully loaded tractor trailers from end to end, as, even though it's an unlikely scenario, it could very well happen. What would you have done if the bridge collapsed, complained that the truck drivers should have ascertained the maximum load of the bridge? It's not their task.
Can't wait for the world where everyone wears a HANS device and a Bell helmet. Would also love to see drivers put on an 8 point harness. Good thing for backup cameras cause otherwise you won't be able to move to see behind you.
Making full chassis out of CF is still prohibitively expensive and energy hungry. Hmm, I wonder what the difference in fuel economy savings would be compared to CO2 release in making CF.
Slashdot has two levels of anonymity: registered pseudonyms, and complete AC users. ACs don't have to register at all and still are able to post. Registered users don't have to provide their full names to do the same, yet can still establish their reputation and engage in a normal discussion while still enjoying anonymity.
The whole TARP program is the epitome of this. Covering the asses of those that played with things they did not understand, but pretended they did. The US taxpayers were those people's rich parents who bailed them out.
No it isn't. Any of us can take part in arbitrage at your home right now, with 0% cash advance offers from credit cards and savings/CD/MM accounts. (Albeit, currently, it likely wouldn't make any sense due to the low interest rate from the government, and I haven't paid attention into whether those offers are still prevalent, but you can play arbitrage with anything, at any quantity.)
to generate electricity, but isn't a major hurtle for projects like this one the distance from where the electricity will be consumed? They're confining this to the desert, because of the daytime temps, but most power is being used on either coast, thousands of miles away.
It's the job of the Secret Service to investigate the guy. Saying a sentence shouldn't automatically get you prison time. You probably know how many trolls there are on the Internet, saying dumb stuff to elicit a reaction. Our prison system is already overgrown without adding this group to those jailed for nonsense crimes and extended sentences.
I would guess that something ending up in the trash isn't due to wearing out or being faulty. It's people upgrading to the newest and bestest tech, the higher res, the better refresh, etc.
Sure, you'll have the used sales, but even with that, you'll have many people tossing perfectly good stuff due to not wanting the hassle of reselling.
I would instead like to see the uproar in the US if a US citizen were to be extradited to Europe or Asia for linking to software made abroad stored on a server he had nothing to do with. Somehow, I don't think things would be as easy.
Wasn't one of the points of that book that the physical book wasn't of importance, but the information itself? And that information could be stored anywhere, on the "wall screens" or in your head. And with our move to all things digital, ebooks are the natural next step. Publishers will try to protect the stuff, but it all can be broken down into plain old text, which will be readable for centuries. So no reason to get all up in arms about the lessening importance of physical books.
At least that money bought them something. Think of all the money that just disappears. All the money that's overpaid. All the money on overdue, nonfunctional projects that end up getting scrapped, then the government suing to recap a fraction in damages. Yes, we need higher taxes to support such wastefulness, and transfer of wealth from the honest to the scheming.
I think the point was to not take the statistic too seriously. If you submit a buggy module, then fix some things and resubmit, you doubled the number of contributions for the same code. So the statistic itself isn't as telling.
It's like the DocuWiki we use at work. I use the preview button a lot, so I'll just have one submission email for a whole page of info, screenshots, etc. Another worker apparently isn't aware of that feature, and you'll get update emails every few seconds, most of them spelling changes for individual words and fixes to heading nesting. Looking at emails alone, you'd figure that guy was the one with most contributions.
> Publicly traded companies with stocks worth less than 5$ get delisted, and that means those companies are toast.
They wouldn't. Exchanges would be making exceptions, extending the length of time that you can be below their thresholds. Happened to companies already, SIRI for example, due to the economic times, I guess. They were trading for ~$0.16 for a while, and for under a dollar for years, never got delisted.
how much other manufacturers are really being stopped from using said components. My inclination from past experience is that most non-Apple companies would choose to use lesser quality components to keep prices down. LCD displays for example, have for the most part been a lot worse on laptops, music players, etc.

So I guess we'll just keep saying "Yes it is" and "No it's not" ad infinitum.

How is it a scam, exactly? You were the one to characterize arbitrage as some large scale scam, which it isn't.
I don't think it was Samsung to create Android. Why isn't Apple suing Google? The bump and slide to unlock is present in all versions.
So where are you living now, also in Florida? I ask because I wouldn't mind getting out of NYC myself.

The code that prints that error message itself crashed.

Not one joke about a basic HTML page with a blue background? Slashdot, you're slipping!

But domains of people who are doing "more legit and legal" things -- like a mom and pop bakery -- have been seized in the past. Somehow tpb never was.

Unless "I could care less" is meant in a sarcastic tone. Sorry if everything in life isn't in line with some rigid formula or rule.
Maybe the distance to the CO becomes a factor?
You know how to use a shovel, right? Why not run a few strands to your house then?

The bike would be leaning in that case.
