But apart from misdating the document by 800 years, misstating the impact of putting it online and misrepresenting the likely attitude of Christians to its publication, the summary is fine...
Then you're saying Slashdot's editorial standards have improved?
Yes, but I was thinking about Raul and Fidel and some cigar pr0n addictions. Pics of Monica Lewinski acting as humidor to the President of the United States has to command some serious pesos down there.
And thus, in light of the error of his preachings, did the lowly coder conceive of the "preview" button. And the Great Architect did look down upon it and say "RTFM!"
Actually, this makes sense with the Biblical story of the Tower of Babel. At one time in history, all programmers used and understood the one true language - LISP. Great things were accomplished, and man reached for programming godhood. However the Great Architect In The Sky took offense at the introduction of strings, vectors, arrays and streams and the creation of Common LISP and sought to punish the arrogant and make them understand proper syntax. He cursed their tongues and begat Fortran, Cobol, Algol and BASIC.
Today some strive for the light with Python and Ruby, while others walk the darkest of paths -- Visual Basic.
However, my point is, beyond the run from the CO demark to the customer premises how can I get a cheap link to "the Internet"? Even if I run my own fiber and install my own routers at both ends the telcos are going to hammer me with a "local loop charge" to run a 3' cable from my router to theirs, then massive bandwidth charges.
Bandwidth to where? How much is it for peerage? Where can I get a 100 MBps or better uplink to the Internet and how much will it cost? Running trunks from POP to POP doesn't help me.
The last mile is the killer, because people don't like their streets dug up every few years to add capacity.
Do you honestly believe that if the U.S. was able to produce oil at, say $50 a barrel, and the rest of the world way buying at $150 that we'd be selling it domestically on the cheap? Hell no! We'd be selling all we can at $150 per bbl to foreign countries and pocketing the difference.
We can have all sorts of projects but do you honestly believe it will be as cheap to drill in the Arctic Circle and Outer Continental Shelf as it is to just drop a pipe in the ground in Texas or Arabia? The costs of dealing with the environments will chew up any price savings.
We could use a "Manhattan Project" style investment, but not in oil. Invest in nuclear, solar, wind, tidal, and bio.
Aluminum is quite often used in electrical cables and wiring. It is the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust, and third most abundant element found there by weight. It is also easily and commonly recycled.

"When is it acceptable to encourage users to accept a self-signed SSL cert?"
The answer is: Never.
Never talk in absolutes.
I work for a financial services company that has approximately 300 independent affiliates where we handle back-office processing. Much of this is done thru SSL-encrypted communications, both web and e-mail. We are set up as our own CA and self-signed the certificate. Client certificates are issued to our affiliates that are signed with our cert.
The issue is trust, and our affiliates trust US vastly more than Verisign or any other company. We meet them face-to-face at least once a year, as required by law. We speak with them on the telephone frequently. They don't know Verisign from Verizon.
We instruct them on how to install our cert as a trusted root, so it only pops up the warning once. After that, it will only pop up if there really is an issue.
Good thing your government mandated health insurance also covers psychological exams. Once you're diagnosed with a non-threatening form of insanity, you may apply for a waiver and play with all of the small- to medium- boobies you wish. In a well supervised environment.
Hmmm...I wonder if the insurance would cover your "therapy" and a few properly proportioned "therapists".
I seem to remember a case in Utah where a local obscenity ordinance was being used to try an shut down a video rental store. The argument was local values in the town didn't truck with XXX videos.
The defense got anonymized records from one of the big hotels right across the street from the video rental. It showed that in-room, adult movie rentals were quite popular -- well above the national average. It also showed that the majority of those renting were from the local area, and not out of town perverts.
The defense showed that the "local values" were, in reality, not in line with the stuffy, Victorian puritanism that was being touted publicly. The defense won the case.

(Disclaimer - this is my blunt gut feeling. Facts may be off)
Hmmm...have you considered running for President of the United States? You seem well qualified. Tell me, how do you pronounce "nuclear"?
Yes, but I was thinking about Raul and Fidel and some cigar pr0n addictions. Pics of Monica Lewinski acting as humidor to the President of the United States has to command some serious pesos down there.
I figured they arranged for something like this years ago.
1. Rename it from "ISS" to "Alice".
2. Bang! Zoom!
3. Straight to the moon
4. Profit!
Considering how QT is licensed under the GPL, how is this still relevant?
And you mean "Liberate from Nokia", since Nokia purchased Troll earlier this year.

Apparently not today it can't. Not for a lot of people.
Its not a "World war" when only the US and Iran are at war.
Have you thought that Disney might be right after all? It really is a small world after all.
Yes, exactly right.

You're confusing Duff with Miller Lite.
If they can't remember IPs, they shouldn't be allowed on your network.
Power Users must be able to identify machines by MAC as well as IP.
Admins must be able to do both - in hex, decimal, binary AND octal.
Octet delimiters are for pussies.

Last chance for gas, 20,000,000,000 km. We have lotto tickets and cold beer!

There is a difference between my Ethernet not working and colored tabs.
Not if "my Ethernet" is a euphemism for "my cable" aka "my penis" and "colored tabs" means your little blue tablets. :-)

Nobody paid attention the first time. They're going to keep doing it until someone notices.

You might be on to something!
So, when do they extend this to a minimum female bust line?
If you don't have at least a 34C, your employer provided insurance will mandate a boob job.
I'm thinking the gov't inspector position on that law will be a highly coveted spot.

This Florida case strikes me as very similar.
