Used to do that somewhat with CDs, but slightly more focused. Back about 8 or 9 years ago when I knew absolutely no one who knew a thing about electronic music I would just browse the (limited) selections in the music stores in my area, grab one or two that looked interesting, and buy them. Got some total crap, but I actually found quite a few CDs that I really liked (specifically by Aphex Twin, The Orb, and Orbital, if anyone cares).
Wired and PC Magazine are only some that have fallen to this attack.
While Wired can still be interesting (I read it since I started getting a free subscription somehow) it has steadily turned into the "shiny things" computer magazine. Anything stupidly expensive instantly gets coverage. PC Magazine went from being a reasonable source of information to a huge glut of advertisements with worthless content sprinkled in here an there.
2600 is entertaining still and I buy it regularly (don't want to be on that subscription list though *GASP*!) although some of the articles list tech information that's just nowhere near correct. A little too heavy on the lame windows exploits/security information too.
Non tech: Maxim and Stuff really do have pretty interesting/funny articles (and other things too)
maybe I'm just reading this (and the info) wrong but is Apple just saying: "No DNS/DHCP/Directory Server needed, because everything is a DNS/DHCP/Directory server!"?
Am I confused (most likely) or does that just seem a little silly?
Second, an uncited study indicates that in a certain sample of the press, 75% of those surveyed did not identify any media outlets as liberal. If , for the sake of argument, we assume the survey in fact does exist and was in fact valid, what does this mean?
That is from the Pew Research Group study. So it does exist. None of the groups (Liberal, Moderate, Conservative) from the survey had any real problem naming a conservative news source. And how does that show that then that the "press is much more representative of the political spectrum"? What it may truly shows is that many in the press are blind to their own biases. If we were to reverse those results, and 75% of the conservative members of the press could not name a conservative news outlet, what would you think then? I mean, come on.
This may not be the case. In a country where many people call themselves independent, voting for a person does not imply political leaning.
If a group or a person consistantly votes a certain way, you can typically infer their true politcal leanings. Many people may like to call themselves "independent" but truly aren't.
However, most us know that public universities do not tend to overly discriminate on political issues, being rather more concerned with the professors ability to get money and write articles
Professors get tenured and then get to keep their job for life as long as they don't break the law. Companies give money to universities to do research that the companies then profit off of. I'm sorry, but to suggest that the majority of public university professors don't have a left leaning bias is just plain ridiculous. I really don't think most people who even entertain the idea of making that argument. The only argument most people make is whether or not it's a good thing.

More as well... just do a google search to find them. Now... where are the major public universities that do not have such a heavy leaning left? But, of course, stats are stupid so here's a quote:
"It's completely accurate that, compared to the larger population, universities are far, far to the left," Michael Munger, chair of the political science department at Duke University.
Of course, what does the chair of the Poli-Sci department at Duke know about politics?
Yes, on average US press is more conservative than European press. What's probably missing from a lot of your reporting (or at least is covered very minimally, especially when compared to the coverage the abuse of Iraqi prisoners got) is the UN oil for food scandal and the beheading of hostages by Iraqi terrorists. From what I've seen the turnover of power to the Iraqi interim government has also gotten little press.

Your horse is beautiful!
AMAZING! I'm sure I'm not the first to say it, but Mula Gula is a horse who has by any stretch of the imagination defied the odds!
because it's our right, as Americans, to get another coupon for $10 off the latest version of Windows XP2003MEServer 64-128bit edition
so you're saying the if I search for "People in the primary election" they shouldn't return peoplesprimary.com?
3 [threedegrees.com] = I'm thinking this is just like Orkut
And quite possibly uses the same code...

very similar to how it turns up for a seach on Linux. All sites that have a *.linux*.* type domain address.
Is this their new search scheme? Type in a word and we'll return matching domain names? That's awesome technology!
it's called a f'en link - try this next time:
Pretty pictures
yep, I almost always read replies
Thanks for the tip. I'll have to check it out.

I'm sure you actully mean PC Magazine == shit
:p
Clearly was not code. What language let's you have variables with a space in them?
And anyways... I was using VB
actually... that's not funny at all
As if anyone is ashamed of reading playboy these days

easily configured, distributed XXXX server
and if there's a problem we simply do what to reconfigure this vast array of distributed servers?
maybe I'm just reading this (and the info) wrong but is Apple just saying: "No DNS/DHCP/Directory Server needed, because everything is a DNS/DHCP/Directory server!"?
Am I confused (most likely) or does that just seem a little silly?
(shh... me thinks I meant it as a joke...)
So, it's about a gallon?

I guess we just have to hope (or not) that their computers or hard drives never fail.
Don't worry, I'm sure they're using a RAID 0 setup.
no... i was just trying to be a jackass... ok... and insult you.
great.
so you posted something that only pertains to you and refers to an opinion that only you know
That's what slashdot is all about! Posting worthless posts that only you will understand
So you prefer the fabricated spectrum of the politicalcompass website? Fine.
That's because the news is left leaning but hardly liberal. On the other hand, the right wing treats anyone left of Hitler as a pinko commie.
Anyone left of Hitler?
Uhmm... wouldn't they be right then?
