Talk about a made up controversy. PBS is slowly dieing and now they're trying to get attention.
With the excising of three not-so-little terms -- "s --," "f -- " and "blow job," Ok, now I'm confused. They're censoring "Fuck", "Shit" and "Blow job". Are they saying that they had to remove these words because of he evil Bush government? Those words haven't been "allowed" for many years now. Really, this whole thing is absolute crap. "Chilling censorship" my ass.
It's also really "surprising" that PBS doesn't like conservatives (who cut their funding again?). And that there's an article in the SF Chronicle about it (strange...). And, this might surprise you, a hollywood actor is also upset about this. This is really a new low for slashdot that'd they post such a ridiculously idiotic article.
Only way I can see of getting around this is to have a click that opens a new window AND updates the current one, and I don't even know if that's possible.
Yep, that's what I've seen. Don't remember the sites though, sorry (and they weren't all porn sites)).
or there will be some work around found that won't be fixed for two years. Even with Firefox you get a popup or two every once in awhile, it's not perfect.
I'm sure it will involve jscript/vbscript/activex/ and the browser's strange ability to allow sites to access your system memory through a solitaire extension to IE that is enabled by default.
Keep in mind that the benefit of locking overclocking to only 10% is twofold for Intel. Not only do you disguise the now revealed fact that DDR2 is ready for faster speeds, but you stop people from buying cheaper chips and overclocking them.
Think about it in this theoretical situation, why should I buy the $1000 3.4Ghz chip when I can buy the $500 3.2Ghz chip and overclock it 200Mhz?
Which is within Intel's 10% overclocking lock... so... your point is?
I was wondering if my fellow lefties can help me out here. As you are aware, there is currently a huge humanitarian crisis in Sudan. Some would even call it genocide. I have no problem with that. But what I can't seem to figure out is how the United States is to blame, as we usually are at fault.
The problem is that the US is in no way to blame. The problems are a direct result of the ineptitude of the United Nations. And people wonder why the US didn't want to have to hold hands with the UN.
It's well known: if you're a bad boy and want to get the UN out of your country, all you have to do is to start shooting at the pretty blue helmets and they'll pack up and leave.
It's absolutely unacceptable and disgusting the UN hasn't done anything about this issue.
Man... anytime you knock headline news on slashdot people take it so personally.
As opposed to the other network which never presents any news...
You, like most people, confuse they're fairly unbiased news reporting (with a slight right slant), to their many very-biased commentator shows. It's unfortunate. Fox News Channel is not equivalent to CNN Headline News.
Listen, I woke up every morning for about 15 years watching CNN headline news. Every damn morning I watched at least 30 minutes. Then the merger and now it's absolute shit. The last straw was when some no count, piece of shit band "just happened" to stop by and PLAY SOME LIVE MUSIC. Would it be tough to get guess who owned the record label that the band was signed to? That's not news. I love
And the average age of the news presenters is, what, 13?
So you prefer looking at 90 year-old bags and curmudgeons?
Yes, because when they actually went off script and offered some brief perspective on the news, they would actually have experienced life.
You're right! Firebombing companies we disagree with is the wave of the future! Screw laws!
F'en idiots couldn't even firebomb the place right. THEY DIDN"T EVEN START THE PLACE ON FIRE. YOU BREAK THE WINDOWS FIRST, THEN THROUGH THE FIREBOMB IN.
I'm definitely not a Starbucks fan (I prefer Caribou (the #2 chain)), but maybe some people like to get coffee at a place where they're not treated like they're interupting the employees by wanting to order. Or, they can get service even though they happen to be in a good mood and aren't wearing a completely black outfit to show that they're deep, dark people. IT'S FUCKING COFFEE PEOPLE! COFFEE! THEY SELL COFFEE!!
Fuckin nitwit.
Best quote from your article:
"if neighbors don't want the Starbucks, they should stay away from the store"
Slashdot Mirror
blah...
Well, since I don't own a TV so I (strangely enough) don't get cable.
drop the "since"
But what do you care? As long as you have your cable TV you're fat, dumb and happy, right?
Well, since I don't own a TV so I (strangely enough) don't get cable.
Thanks for the nice personal insult though. Really helps to forward your point. Insults say a lot more about the insulter than the insulted.
If Bush-Cheney prevail in November I would guess the answer is sometime in 2005.
Why wait that long? November 3rd or 4th sounds good to me.
very easy...
' replaces a letter
Do not = don't
is not = isn't
we are = we're
Not used when possessive
Its
hers
His
except when it's a possessive name:
John's bike
Jill's bike
3M's new product
Those are the basics

No, I'm not new to E3. It's just that I've now seen pretty official news from Sony and Microsoft about their next-gen stuff, but not Nintendo.
claims that Nintendo will not be showcasing its nextgen unit next E3. It will just be discussing its "vision" for its nextgen unit.
I couldn't find links showing official info either way. Who's right?
I said nothing about quality. What's your point? I'm just pointing out the number of people using each technology.
Sorry, the US isn't the only one using TDMA/CDMA. In fact, over 202 million people use it worldwide, with over 120 million outside the US.
GSM has about 1 billion subscribers.
oh come on now... for instance... DAS BOOT means "The FART OF FARTS! I EAT PEPSI AND PEE COKE!"
I'm going to start a Scrictnein Fan Club.
:p
Well at least spell my name right if you do
it's obviously a joke, and it's also obvious that you haven't got a clue
well, after tax that would give you about 650,000 robots
Maybe you would stand a chance?
I think people with apple laptops just carry them around more, and have them on display more often, because then people think they're special.
Anyways, let me try this fun made up stat game! Here goes:
Is that why about 95% of the laptops at Apple Corportate Headquarters are made by Dell?
The question is what's worse:
A false sense of security
or
No sense of security
?
There it is! The elusive Step #2:
servers in Russia are less likely to harvest my passwords and offer my identity to the highest bidder
Step 1: Create Server (in Soviet Russia no less!) that harvests passwords
Step 2: Offer harvested information to highest bidder
Step 3: Profit!
Now, to create these password harvesting servers... off I go! Oh wait, he said something about a six step plan! Damn't!

And now for some helpful links:
Note: If you click on download links for firefox on the main page of mozilla.org, you get 0.9.2. The link on the firefox page @ http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ still gets you 0.9.1. The link on the main page for the Linux version of Firefox still points to version 0.9.1. It seems that if you want 0.9.2 for Linux you'll have to compile it yourself.
0.8
0.9rc
0.9
0.9.1
0.9.2
And a direct link to the newest release for the really lazy:
Windows 0.9.2
The question is, what is the shellblock.xpi for?
Does Bugzilla know? Sorry, links to Bugzilla from Slashdot are disabled. Ook!

hmm.. no, that's not quite right

Best quote from your article:
"if neighbors don't want the Starbucks, they should stay away from the store"
and wheres the 100 from?
Notice how I mention 2104. That's a 100 years from now.
So, 10 new stores/week * 52 weeks/year * 100 years = 52,000 stores (my units cancel out nicely)
