Houston ISD has been receiving intense scrutiny. According to district officials, their current rate of graduation is seventy two percent; however, the Texas Education Agency initiated an investigation regarding the validity of their drop-out reporting practices after it was determined that a district employee had modified those records at Sharpstown High School. And, as a result of monetary indiscretions, two hundred employees were terminated in February.
Tele-Aid, a service provided by Mercedes-Benz that exhibits characteristics similar to GM's OnStar, transmits real-time data pertinent to approximately 65 metropolitan areas within the continental United States. As mentioned previously, radio stations are also capable of broadcasting the information.
There isn't anything comparably ominous to The Dentist: "Once I'm done with these here teeth, son, I'll be exploring the lower territory with my drill..."
The upcoming WinFS file system will be the first to be context-dependent, and promises to make long search times and wasted memory a thing of the past.
Well, yes; we must preserve those system resources for the most recent incarnation of explorer.exe.
Yes, seasons six and seven are certainly evidence that somebody was "asleep at the wheel." In fact, they were quite reminiscient of an enormous vehicular accident...
From any perspective, Clear Channel is an entirely commercial endeavor. Whenever the corporation isn't promoting "sponsors," Clear Channel attempts to promote labels sponsored by the RIAA. Modern radio is a commercial medium, not an exhibition of artistry. "Corporate America" regards you as a "consumer," not a "customer."

Calling Minitel a proto-internet may be a bit of a stretch, but it is not far off.... all of it determinedly low-graphics and designed for speed.
All right, aspiring web developers and disgruntled dot-bomb employees. Your objective today is to modernize this archaic service: develop a functional implementation of Flash and JavaScript pop-under advertisements, then ensure that all original content is publicly inaccessible. Finally, schedule a decadent yacht party. We're going to party like it's 1999!

Are you looking forward to your inevitable cavity search? ;-)

No, it isn't quite Thursday yet. The moderators are merely attempting to prepare for tomorrow. ;-)
I am sure there are some proactive Slashdot readers that know more about this issue that could try to enlighten the ruling parties

Now why can't auto makers put this kind of thing in a dash instead of mostly worthless GPS navigation and DVD units?
Several Mercedes-Benz GPS navigation systems actually do support the reception of traffic information embedded inside of radio signals.
Blizzard may soon encounter the chill of insolvency. ;-)
Timothy published related information this morning. Perhaps "55808" is attempting to locate Slashdot duplicates. ;-)

According to these videos, perhaps Ballmer should consider the aquisition of a portion of this company. :-)

Witness vampires and miscellaneous other creatures of the night defeated as Dawn petulantly screams. For instance: "Get out, get out, get out!"

Of all dot-bomb employees polled, 90% preferred the Herman-Miller Aeron. According to rumor, these chairs are easily obtained. :-)

IRC Networks across the internet have felt the brunt of the Fizzer worm.
Now, miniscule web servers, you will feel the brunt of the Slashdot behemoth!
Interesting, and mostly productive results have occurred so far from such a meeting of the IRC minds.
And, once this story is published, we'll observe the various effects of futile desperation!
