I've heard of it, and seem recall making a mental note to myself to check it out. I must have mentally lost said note. Maybe it's behind the mental couch.
I looked into it a while back, as I'm the registrar at a school that uses SSNs. From memory, the law states that a government employee/agent/representative/whatever can't demand your SSN for non-essential reasons. A non-governemental person can ask away. You are under no obligation to give it out, but if they wanna be dicks about it, they are under no obligation to continue with the transaction if you do refuse.
I wonder if I'm the only guy who's so totally jaded to new music that I touch nothing new, period.
Not at all. I get home from work, turn on NPR. Once their news/talk/interview stuff is done at 8:00 I sometimes leave it on at a lower volume, sometimes turn it off, and sometimes fire up iTunes. Never any "new" "music" involved.
I'd *love* to find some new music, but so very little of what's coming out today is worth a damn. It's all either watered down or off-key.
Not at all - It's a fresh story created by comparing old stories and synthesizing a story which has been carefully analyzed and found to be similar to some of the greatest slashdot stories of the past.
It's also sure to farther drown out any ammount of creativity and innovation left in the music industry.
My god man, do you have ANY idea how much water that would require?!?!?!?
With the amount of our precious natural resources you propose using to drown out the remaining creativity from the music biz, I could rinse out my coffee cup.
The times that the announcements didn't live up to what the rumor sites predicted are the times that the rumor sites were wrong, and therefore presumably not basing their reports on genuine trade secrets.
This year's expo is one time when the rumor community nailed pretty much everything dead on, yet it doesn't seem that Apple is suffering from a lack of hype right now about the Mini Mac or the iPod Shuffle. Me and my fellow Mac geeks knew full well about the Mini Mac, and yet we still called each other saying "Holy shit, have you heard yet?!?!?!?"
So basically, you're going with a definition of 'religious' that makes 100% of people religious. If it is impossible for anyone to not be religious, then there's really no point to the term's continued existence.
why the fuck did they ever build that mouse in the first place
At home I'm a Mac user with an eleven button trackball. At work one of my duties is to administer a small lab full of Winders machines for our students. I would *love* to find a source for cheap, one-button PS/2 mice. Now that I deal with so many first-time computer users, I totally understand it.
Also, and this may come as a bit of a surprise to some our younger viewers, but computers were generally quite useful in those dark, lonely days before teh intarweb.
Hell, some might even say they were *more* useful in those dark, lonely days.
While we're on the subject, anybody have any recommendations as to a DVI KVM? Specifically, which ones (of the few so far on the market) are decent, and what kind of results/issues could I expect from using a DVI-VGA adapter to plug any VGA-only machines into it, as only my primary machine has a DVI port?
Slashdot Mirror
slashdot is full of dumb fuckers.
You must be new h------
*OWW*
What was THAT for?
No, but they were a huge part of the old school warez scene. Especially Hotline. Heh. The memories...
I would just like to remind you that the one recurring symbol of the inauguration was the boot.
Patents should be owned by companies creating products, like they were originally intended.
I always thought that the patent system was created to protect people who invent new things.

Thanks.

A Jesus Nut flying an Apache... yeah, that'll let me sleep better tonight.

Carpe scrotum.
Thank you for speaking up. Tis a shame how often the obvious needs to be stated these days.

You forgot Poland.
Oops, I meant Hawaii.
Is that you, Rush?
If anybody actually listened to all the advice the human race would have ceased to exist a few thousand years ago.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
So basically, you're going with a definition of 'religious' that makes 100% of people religious. If it is impossible for anyone to not be religious, then there's really no point to the term's continued existence.
I recall hearing that about ADB, too. I thought some Sun or SGI machines at one point had ADB ports back in the dark ages.
If I'm reading this right, then you are attempting to implement a feature such that Mac users with a stock setup will not be able to use it.

fucking the web up with the ignorant yapping of the equivalent of a Middle School cafeteria at lunchtime.
Heh. Good'un.

Hey, glad to see you've regained that vicious streak!
Sorry, couldn't resist.
