Here's another shocker -- changing every keyword in the language to be UPPERCASE is a purely syntactic construct. If it was added to the language, it would STILL be stupid (oh, and bytecode compatible).
.1 could be stored as 00011010. Look, it does have an (emphasis not added)binary representation. It happens to be one I just made up, but it's there. 0001 is the numerator, 1010 is the denominator.
I've got to ask, are you a Paul Deem in anything (I sure as hell am not)? I'm betting that with nearly 10,000 posts to Slashdot, posted in a very short amount of time, you probably used to be, but you aren't anymore.
So when the next nutjob dictator of Germany kills a major portion of an ethnic group, no one will be able to do a census to demonstrate that it even happened. (Just kidding.. I think)
After a few people get smashed by these things, when they break down, people's "personal space guess" will begin take into account the height of the damn thing.
You do realize that most ofthe people digging around in that utility are the type of people with clear plexiglass windows on their computer cases and neon lights within don't you?
What was the prior falling out? The rejected Mario 3 PC demo? Or was it less of a falling out and more of a clash of ideals (when id made it's fast rise to fame with bloody demonic themed games Nintendo was busy turning Mortal Kombat's blood into sweat for fear of 'the children').
'Every app that ever interacts with a user. It is never acceptable for an app to stop-the-world while it does something that I (as a user) do not care about. I get enough spinning beach balls as it is.'
You realize that a call to malloc is nondeterministic don't you? You get the same problem with manual memory management, there is just a lower average time; but 'stop the world' still happens.
People who visit w3 schools are interested in things like making sure their sites work as many browsers as possible, including ie7. Their browser statistics tell very little about the general population.
Many people put forth suggestions like this: "This meets all of your requirements, significantly beats your price requirements, *and* has color!" I don't think you would say that these responses were off topic. Ask Slashdot is rarely about helping one person; it is about getting a general response on a topic.
This article probably caught the eye of anyone else looking for laser printers, color or not.
They look at how many more people would buy it if it was cheaper. It is very simple: # of purchases * price. If lowering the price wouldn't increase the bottom line they won't do it. That isn't price fixing. That is common sense.
Yeah, because the new Britney Spears is worth more to consumers than something from The Beatles. I stopped reading at that point. That isn't price fixing; and (some) music doesn't rust.

Perhaps; but none the less I think we would be in a worse situation today.
Recording Engineers?

I bought a new DVD for my living room; I got it all hooked up and everything and now I'm looking for some movies to play on it.
'i still don't know what an operand is. four hours of sleep +'
Funny that immediately after you say you don't know what an operand is, the next words out of your mouth are.. an operand.
So, China would have been more acceptable under Japanese imperial rule?
Whoa, you are an inventive genious! Oh wait, that's kinda how nearly all compression works.

Change the name. While geek is a badge of pride for many, you are basically limiting yourself to just the hardcore geek by using that name.

Yeah, because the Rails people suck so bad at marketting.
This isn't the case for DVDs. A binary codec from site does not get downloaded for DVDs.
In super metroid there is a flashback to this.

I dunno; the internet is fairly susceptible to EMP and we all know that it is just a series of tubes.

Google might finally be turning into Yahoo. With regard to your title, Google used to believe in exactly the reverse.

You'll notice 'Ask Slashdot' is more of a prompt for discussion, and in that regard the parent was perfectly topical.
