Who else _isn't_ intrigued by the Super Bowl?

Many Houstonians are already becoming adverse to the Super Bowl. The advertisements are extremely ubiquitous, littering even the communities that possess no affiliation with the municipality of Houston. Enormous billboards and banners attached to streetlamps emphasize the "importance" of the incipient Super Bowl.
As you're probably aware, the local government has also installed a multi-million dollar light rail system that many speculate is intended specifically to transport passengers from downtown to Reliant Stadium. Metro has removed one lane from streets traversed by the light rail system; commuters are "warned" of oncoming traffic by a single light encouraging them not to cross the track. Ten serious traffic accidents have already been attributed to this implementation, which is reportedly being scrutinized by citizens and Metro engineers alike.
This event is an exhibition of corporately funded "sports," pop stars endorsed by the RIAA, and the "best" television commercials. It astonishes me that the Slashdot community is so ravenously infatuated. With the possible exception of SCO, this encompasses everything that you are supposedly adverse to.
NASA technicians are preparing to wipe Spirit's flash memory clean of science and engineering files that have stymied its software.
Obviously, this is an attempt to suppress the discovery of alien life on Mars. After a "severe communications fault," NASA is destroying the "scientific" data collected by Spirit. Coincidence? I think not.
I postulate that Echelon (yes, that Echelon) intercepted a message being transmitted by the alien race. Yes, our government subsequently disabled the probe to prevent successful reception!
Meanwhile, Sir William was polishing his diamond swords. They will be distributed among his army of 10,000 lawyers, for nobody shall be permitted to defeat the knight of computer software.
It is a regex statement. Essentially, the string typically instructs a language interpreter (PERL, for instance) to search for a pattern and subsequently replace it.
In this case, it is replacing any instances of "is" with "eir"; thus, the following alteration is committed:
Before: but it's always sad to watch someone stoop to this level After: but it's always sad to watch someone stoop to their level
... that, instead of quarreling about the legitimacy of robotic space exploration, we dedicate this thread to the inevitable development of a Mars probe drinking game!
Only the sufficiently wealthy may receive access, then. In many economically deficient portions of the world, relatively benign diseases have remained impressively lethal.
Thirty years of effort, plus several decades of awaiting the availability of a less expensive implementation. What an unfortunate circumstance.
Shortly afterward, PC World employees were observed extinguishing a fire that had apparently originated from "the Athlon room." The charbroiled G5 processor was unavailable for comment.
It is also a fortunate fact that since Earthstation5 protects you from the RIAA lawsuits and hackers by hiding your ip address
If you are establishing connections to a remote machine, there is probably a method by which an individual can determine your IP address. "Intermediary proxy servers" are susceptible to compromise, too.
Many installations of several Web browsers are susceptible to exploitation. If SiteFinder were somehow compromised externally or internally, one could hypothetically distribute malicious software to a prodigious group of individuals. According to the relevant Yahoo! article, approximately 1.5 million clients were redirected to the "service" daily. Imagine the possibilities!
Registration, however trivial, is ultimately inconvenient to the casual browser. These individuals are likely dedicating a minimal amount of effort to your website.
Perhaps an entity is attempting to mitigate every convenient method by which a Windows administrator or user can retrieve updated packages.
Perhaps this entity has discovered another Windows exploit.
Once the vendor distribution services (Windows Update, for instance) were rendered inaccessible, the hypothetical entity could then invoke its exploit. And, until the services were restored, every affected machine would remain involuntarily susceptible.

I apologize for the delay. The URL is http://www.initialized.org/etc/slashdot/. Cheers. :)
I can arrange it. Email (webmaster [at] initialized [dot] org) or IM (AIM: lprazorback) me.

they're confident and casual.
The excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages does often render that effect.
The Spirit was willing, but the flash was weak.

[Bush] accomplished his goal
Wasn't his objective target Osama bin Laden? The "aggregate" certainly has become conveniently oblivious of him.
Saddam will give evidence that there are no weapons of mass destruction
Shouldn't the United States be attempting to present evidence of WMD? Innocent before proven guilty, yes?
At least Kubrick got it right in 2001.
:-)
Firefly did, too, actually.
'innovation primarily comes from big companies like Oracle'
Even your company was once an "innovative startup."
I'd have a super-arm
Many of the subscribers already do...
He goes on to describe such a filesystem as the 'holy grail' that is sought by developers.

These "developers" compose fluent VBS, I presume?

When I saw this story on Slashdot
Welcome to Slashdot. This story was committed to publication with relative haste!
Insolvency! :-)

The economically disadvantaged would become unable to access a medium that is characteristically available to them.
Aggrandize the digital divide!
