...It's an alien shroom trying to get us all high so it's masters can take over the world? Or perhaps it was created by the Brain (if you don't get the refrence, just laugh)?
Damn, relooked at the article and it talks about 5.25" slots, not sluts. Oh well.
As for how you can use them, while not removing the plastic covering themselves, I stick extra harddrives there. Never can have too many of those (damn IDE!!).
"The next scheduled Venus fly-by will be in 2004 and 2006 by the Johns Hopkins/Goddard Messenger spacecraft on its four-year mission to study Mercury."
Will a spacecraft even last 4 years that close to the sun? Does it plan on staying on the "dark side" of Mercury?
I mean, the article says that "The frame for Messenger's signature sunshade - which will protect the craft and its instruments from the intense heat at Mercury - is due to arrive this week from GenCorp Aerojet. Layers of ceramic fabric will be added to the frame at APL over the next two months." but will that be enough? I mean it is the sun after all. I'd be surprised if it didn't fry as soon as it got within Mercury's gravitational field.
...if this will spell the end of online advertising.
Although I'm sure AOL, IBM, and even M$ can show prior art on this (not to mention the millions of perosnal web pages that have other people embedding banner ad's on web pages).
I think Jeff Bezo's is a bit patent happy. I wonder if the USPTO will finally get a clue and stop giving out patents like candy (especially to Amazon.com).
On the other hand, I wouldn't mind seeing someone patent the process of applying for a patent.
It won't let me post it here (something about too few characters per line (Damn you Cowboy Neal1)), so here's a link to a relevant poem in my/. journal.
There are three major crimes, under which most other crime can be classified:
Murder -> Includes all forms of abuse (eventually one or the other involved parties does indeed snap and just not stop) and the actual crime of murder. The government already defines self-defense and justifiable homicide as "ok this time" Rape -> All manner of sexual abuse Theif -> from petty larceny to federal offenses (bank robberies, etc).
I totally agree with you. They should be tracked down and drug out into the street and shot. BUT ONLY if they CP makers reside within NZ's borders. Otherwise just go after the traders.
My point is that once the populace allows the government to implement any sort of censorship "in the best interest of the populace", the populace will GLADLY start giving up more and more rights. It's a slow fall into fascism and the stripping of ALL freedoms previously enjoyed. Those who knew what freedom was like will be censored until the majority of the population has known NOTHING but total control of the state (and they'll think they love it, too!).
I would prefer to do away with the electoral college in my country for that exact reason. When I vote for someone, and that person manages to get the highest precentage of votes, he should be the one getting the votes!
The current system is the only reason we have Dictator Bush in office.
"But on regular broadcast TV, we get uncut movies (cept for ads of course), full frontal nudity, sam jackson in his full Mutha-Fucker unedited glory, unbleeped south park....after 8pm.
So there is censorhip but without the puritanical crap, and as long as you're not into hard core pr0n the experience for Trev Sixpack is actually more open and 'free' than what was like when I lived in the states."
As long as the above is government mandated, it's WRONG. Now if your local TV station decided (without government intervention) that they were not going to show pr0n until after a certain time, then that's fine. They own the network.
"Did I mention they also abolished the penny? Universal heathcare that pretty much works? Someone getting badly beaten up still makes the national news? nz rocks."
So? Oh? So? Get rid of the puritanical net censorship laws and I might agree with you.
The government works for YOU, not the other way around.
"The most significant change, however, has been the dramatic decrease in both band 1 and band 2 targets in 1994. Possible reasons for this include:
the police adopting a proactive strategy towards armed robbery in many areas; improved situational crime prevention measures such as better security screens and CCTV; professional criminals turning to `softer' targets where guns were not needed to effect a robbery; diversion of criminal activity to the drugs trade."
I'm fairly sure that those in the drug trade are as well armed as the cops. The others make no refrence of guns except in the third one where criminals moved to easier targets. I'm sure that there are more statistics in the Google search I used to find the above data.
"You know what, fine, All censorship is evil, now lets get rid of those rulings that indicate that porn is only available to the over eighteens, this is obviously censorship, while we're at it why don't we"
I wouldn't call it censorship. Censorship is the complete quieting of expression. For a more complete definition, here's a link directly to an entry in Merriam-Webster.
"remove all programme classifications as well, thats got to be censorship because people won't watch if its a certain rating. Also"
No, that's not censorship. That's setting a standard. That's where we should stop, though.
"while we're at it lets take away the idea that society as a whole, through government can set a minimum standard to which the societies"
The minimum standard should NOT be government mandated. It is not the job of the government to make sure minors aren't watching objectionable material. Parents need to take MORE responsibility in raising their children.
"members are expected to comply, because that is obviously censoring their freedom of expression."
Yes, it is limiting their freedom of expression. I do not want to live in a world of sheep (no pun intended). I want to live in a world where the individual is free to express themselves. If they do so in a totally unacceptable way (child pr0n, for example), then yes their behavior needs to be corrected.
"See censorship is not all or nothing, it is a gradual thing, at one"
You haven't made that case, imo.
"end you have no censorship, anything goes, whether its watching a blow job on the nightly news or renting a snuff video from your local"
As long as the parent is willing to be responsible for what it is their children are watching, I have no problem what's on tv. As for snuff video's, I'm not exactly sure what they are. There is a difference between censorship and allowing/disallowing acceptable behavior.
"store, at the other we have the stalinist states which controlled everything that you heard or saw in the media, neither of these are good, we need to strike a balance between the right of the individual to freedom of expression and the right of the society to expect certain minimum standards to be adhered to."

OMG!
Another reason why Linux s0x0rz!
Windows will rise up to crush the penguin!
And why is this being posted a THIRD time?

I'm guessing they're new to slashdot. :)
To add onto that, it's not even free as in "full featured and free".
All they offer is a free demo. Bloody wankers.
Huzzah

There are of no use to me, but I'm sure my dog and cat wouldn't mind toying with 'em.

When they censored Google and any website they don't agree with?
No, they prefer continous flame wars. ;)

That would be patently funny.
I read both, actually.
If you knew anything about biology, you'd know that pheremones are excreted with sweat.
It's how humans "spray", so to speak.
It didn't say unwashed. It said that it was from the armpits of men who haven't used deodarent in 4 weeks. BIG differnce.
Is that it has to do with pheremone's present in sweat. I'll assume they used underarm sweat as we have a lot of sweat glands there.

And we currently have the oldest constitutional democracy (although our form of gov't is a Republic). Gotta be doing something right.

What I see is that criminals still have hand guns. Armed robberies are UP, not down.
