First, bear with me, because I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with the sentiments you are expressing.
HOWEVER, that being said, it would be nice to CONTINUE to smile, ask questions, etc. I see nothing wrong with anyone devoting time to the cause of researching what could be done to prevent a "near-miss" *grin* After all, nothing makes me smile and laugh more than some of the half-assed schemes I see in the comments on/. sometimes.
The PUKE in this comment is NOT the fluffy stuff in it, but that you are using the fluffy stuff to deflect a legitimate concern as beneath the awareness of "higher mortals"
I don't walk around fearing the ring of a sniper bullet or worry that a plane will crash into where I stand. But I think it is unhealthy not to question-What would I/We do if...?
BTW, I left out the most important part, you are technically RIGHT, but you are also wrong...
The quoted price, as pointed out numerous times already, includes the sync cradle.
God help you if you buy a handheld you can't sync-There are only two types of people that would do this
1. Don't know any better or 2. To damn geeky and know that they can get around and get everything working without ther cradle, however, they will spend more time/effort/money than the one cradle costs
Do not worry, my friend. You karma is in no danger.
A strange phenomenon exists on/.
Your post is, indeed, as you say, redundant.
However, if you pay attention, you will notice you POST is both redundant AND WRONG
Anywhere else in this world this would be a bad thing. However, on/. you will likely receive (+1, Interesting) mods, while the EARLIER original poster of this (while still wrong) will get (-1, Redundant)
Slashdot readers are intelligent people who don't like to waste their time or be told half-truths
Somethingwicked started to choke violently on his drink.
"What a wonderful exciting cough," said the little man, quite startled by it, "do you mind if I join you?"
And with that he launched into the most extraordinary and spectacular fit of coughing which caught Somethingwicked so much by surprise that he started to choke violently, discovered he was already doing it and got thoroughly confused.
Together they performed a lung-busting duet which went on for fully two minutes before Somethingwicked managed to cough and splutter to a halt.
"So invigorating," said the little man, panting and wiping tears from his eyes. "What an exciting life you must lead. Thank you very much."
He shook Somethingwicked warmly by the hand and walked off into the crowd. Somethingwicked shook his head in astonishment.
If I came across as pissed off in my reply, I wasn't at all!!! I immediately found the humor in the situation, but I really felt like a enough other ppl weren't. I too found it funny and all too typical for/.
I don't wait for them to call...BUT I am not sitting at home dreaded calls from people I can easily say no to. I am not screening EVERY damn call I receive with an answering machine just to avoid the occassional sales pitch. We have enough friends that call that the phone ringing is normally a good thing.
And yes, My wife had a Miata and looked damn fine in it...and it was a blast to drive
Really, on a boring night, it really can be a slightly entertaining trying to sell a telemarketer something YOU own.
Thing is, you have to really push it and not make it sound like a joke. When they scoff and give a laughing no to buying your Miata, use their tactics: Don't take no for an answer, incredulously ask why they would be interested in being a cool person with a cool car, ask where they live, how nice it would be to drive a convertible around, etc.
Okay, first off, let me say I found out about the Kyocera 6035 from a prior/. post saying that they were $100 (Kyocera was discontinuing them)
So, started looking around and found a deal at CompUSA-$150 with a $150 rebate from CompUSA AND a $70 rebate from Sprint. That's right, -$70 and YES I have received both rebates
NOT BRAGGING, but maybe, just maybe, someone else is still liquidating these and you might find a similiar deal.
Good phone, some of the integration features are a little cumbersome, but pretty much everything you would expect is there-Dialing from Phone book, web clipping, "always on email", etc.
Bulky? Yes. But less than my Jornada was, and lets be honest, I didn't use anything really that needed color (I am envious of the web clipping enabled phones with color tho!) And I had already sold my Jornada by then because I knew that I would not carry it and my former cell.
Definitely better than carrying a phone AND a PDA.
Disadvantages? Looks like an old school early 90s cell phone, even has the pullout antenna. I received some slack about it from my co-workers when I first got it, until I pointed out that its was both a PDA and a phone. Then I had a couple of "where'd you get it?"
The speakphone works great if there is no background noise *shrug* Which basically means that in the car, which is the main place I want to use it, it is fairly useless
If you are going for G-whiz factor, spend your $500 and get something else, its far from flashy. But if you want have a phone, PDA and look up movie times every now and then without spending all your cash, give it a look
The whole point of the matter is that no one deserves death, even those who take up arms against you.
It is so sad that you think this is true.
There are VERY few people in this world that I wish death upon. They didn't accidentally have a stray bullet hit someone..Someone that by choices TARGETS innocent civilians for mass murder *deserves* to die.
If you wanted to debate WHO the actual killers were, fine. Maybe the mastermind is the only person left who should go down, some might say that anyone who EVER heard even a whisper of a possibility of the plot and did not act is subject to death as well.
But to make a broad, generalizatation that NO ONE deserves death is just too much.
I WILL WISH DEATH UPON THEM. I do NOT pity them beyond the sad choice that have made, and their crass indifference to the impact their childish rage has brought.
Thrashing, excessive paging or congested are all conditions that occur without the involvement of a posting at Slashdot. Are all sites that are down due to "Slashdotting?" Are all sites that are thrashing, paging or congested due to Slashdot???
The point of having a term such as "slashdotted" is that it communicates what AND why...
than denying the problem is immediately admitting that it could be a problem...
He said his company had built defensive measures into its products that would make them invulnerable to such an attack.
They're invincible!!!! Invincible, I say!
However, he said he was unwilling to be specific about the nature of the security system, because such information would be valuable to someone who was attempting to break the security of the Atmel smart cards.
Is there NO chance whatsoever that he actually believes that his testimony is true?
Is it maybe possible that he truly feels that this a bad thing?
Personally, I think he is blowing things out of proportion by saying this "would set the computer industry back almost 20 years," but MAYBE he knows something about chip and software interaction that I don't. (Didn't see that quote, maybe you never RTA?)
Flamebait this isn't but its an unpopular opinion on/. so BURN KARMA BURN...nothing I won't get back.
At least my thoughts might be visible for 10 seconds or so...
Just to be clear, Google DID NOT pull the pages. They simply removed the challenged results that would normally appear in that search...
WHY???
Because they were following the law to the T...
They are only protected by the Safe Harbor provision if they honor the Notification letter.
And it can be simply reversed by a Counter-Notification.
This REALLY is the most logical way for this to work. It moves the responibility off of the indexer and puts it on the party publishing the information vs. the party claiming the info is copyrighted.
If "the man" ever shows up at Google's offices, they just whip out the documentation from each party and a copy of the law and say "goodday" to the badge.

See parent. That's okay, I have karma to burn when this gets modded down as well...
First off, MY username is somethingwicked. Was I trolling myself???
NO!!! I was making a simple joke about how I briefly misinterpretted the wording of the original comment.
Does no one remember the old SNL joke I referenced? So MAYBE it wasn't that good a joke, it sure wasn't a troll
Yeah? You think so, buddy? Well, what if we decide not to use it, huh? What are YOU going to do about?
Who are you to say if we SHOULD use it or not...
Oh, hold on...that might not be what you meant.
Somethingwicked, you ignorant slut.
"We'll hold them for ransom of ONE BILLION HOURS!!!"

Taking an isolated event out of historical context and...you have an excellent point to use during a debate.

So we have slashdotted as a "industry recognized term" now.
But what about those sites that CREEP, SHUDDER, MOAN, and SMOKE but still eek out small packets of info every now and then. I propose

As in here is a little info...and...somemore...etc.
Not that I think this is the best suggestion, but feel free to propose something else
He set out to intentionally 'break' a lot of the regular expression culture we're all used to
I hope he can break "Don't go there" and "Talk to the hand" There are many others, but this would be a good start
He said his company had built defensive measures into its products that would make them invulnerable to such an attack.
They're invincible!!!! Invincible, I say!
