I'm surprised at your minireview here. I listened to the Ebert and Roeper review and they never say this is not for kids. You can listen to their review on the Ebert and Roeper website and read Roger's review on his Sun Times web site for proof.
Furthermore, I took my 5 your old to see it an would take him again. We all absolutely loved it. Lot's of good stuff for kids to marvel at and plenty of inside jokes for the adults (especially parents).
I'm not quite sure what your motives are in lying about the content of the movie.
Alabama is an "at will" employment state. This means that an employee can be disciplined or terminated for any reason (or for no reason at all) as long as the termination does not violate federal or state laws.
I do not know state law in Alabama, but he wasn't fired for being black and he wasn't fired for not sleeping with his boss, so I think he is screwed.
Perhaps there is some whistleblower law floating around that will save him. Otherwise he should be getting his resume ready.
It first glance I liked the idea of a law that requires a program to be easily removed. This would make spyware (and some badly written, but useful software) easier to remove when I choose.
But then I wondered about certain security patches that say, "Once this Security Patch is installed it cannot be removed." I see this with Windows all the time and suspect it applies to other OSs in certain cases.
The law will need to be carefully written to exclude OS patches and the like or we could have a mess.

I don't think soldiers will be wearing this technology any time soon. It requires an image to be project on the material. Doesn't seem practicle for a soldier running throught the forest.
Now if you wanted to hide a stationary vehicle or plane this could be the ticket.
And those 300-foot tall
antennas for the 900-KHz AM band that dominate skylines would have to be only 80
feet high, with no compromise in performance, using Vincent's design, he said.
Hmmm... I am no expert, but I
thought those AM towers were tall so the antenna could be placed at the highest
possible altitude. The radio transmitters in the Philadelphia, PA area are
also located in the highest place in the region geographically.
I think the actual antenna is
attached to the top of the tower. It's not the entire tower. Can
someone help me out here?
A great solution for my clients to reduce server load has been to outsource spam filtering to a third party (we recommend Frontbridge). They have an amazing filtering system that has to this date never had a false positive. Once the service is up you don't even have to think about spam anymore except the occasional one that gets through.
Gosh, how do you post to this thread without looking like a troll?
I know the topic of censorship is near and dear to the Slashdot community. I
hope people can see that the right wing has a history of using money to censor
media outlets in this country. This is a good example of that as is the holy war
the FCC has declared on broadcasters.
The liberals in this country want open and free discussion. the conservatives
think that they can get away with censoring the liberals by labeling everything
opposed to them as indecent.

site may be offensive to compassionate conservatives).

To be honoest, if MS never existed I suspect most of us would still be running Novell servers. When the Windows NT 4 server came on the scene most of my cliets quickly migrated from Novell to the NT platform.
Since this migration predated most mainstream awareness of Linux or the maturity of the Linux server, I can't imagine any of us would have considered it. Linux proponents would have been calling Novell the big bad server monopoly and trashing them on slashdot every time a new Linux distribtion/version/build was released.
On the desktop I imagine OS2 would have matured and been the accepted platform. Perhaps Linux would just now be making the scene as a desktop solution in fierce competion with OS2. Maybe Apple would have made a push for acceptence as the perferred desktop in Novell server environments, but who knows. I'm not sure their focus would ever have been for the corporate desktop.
I bought a shrunken Sacagawea Dollar from this site in May, 2003 (around the
same time my Slashdot story submission about the site was rejected). The coin is
truly amazing to look at and a hit at parties. The details of Sacagawea and the
Eagle are perfect, only smaller (although the coin itself has a bit of an uneven
surface caused by the rapid shrinking process). I'm happy to see the site
finally get the news for nerds treatment it deserves.
Dell spends between 1% and 2% of revenues (or about $700 million annually) on R&D. This is a very modest amount compared to Sun and Apple. But to say they spend no money R&D is simply incorrect.

How will you conceal your secret identity?
I'm a bit disappointed that you cannot perform a whois lookup on .us domains.
.us people? Were they denied access to the data?
Doesn't Verisign like the

Of course, if they sell it on eBay and it gets reported on /. the price could
go much higher.
I noticed this too. I wonder if this is for the the High Def transmitter????

Another thought... God forbid we would all still be using dumb VAX terminals with a mainframe backend in the corporate environment. Yikes.

There is a cool Popular Science article for more information.

It's interesting that a factual post that corrects a glaring error would get modded down as overrated on /.
