Tax cut for the wealthy: $1,600,000,000,000; Iraq war: $287,000,000,000; $1,000,000,000 denied for scientific research and the advancement of the human species: priceless.
There appears to be some speculation that this was due to a hyperbaric atmosphere (one that contains increased levels of oxygen). In such an environment, it is completely plausible to walk a hundred miles or allow the body to more efficiently process waste materials. Of course, then again, oxygen is actually a pretty nasty substance, so...
I am not claiming to be an expert, by the way. Just a thought. Please don't fillet me.
What I really want to do is shatter this common perception that a degree will automatically result in success. It won't. In fact, the opportunities they open are sometimes crap. (If I had a degree, I would likely be a corporate drone somewhere rather than a largely autonomous developer in a small shop.) The other point is that great success is certainly possible without a degree. In otherwords: aspiring developers need to consider all possible paths, not just the one that society typically says you should follow.
And now I have a kick ass job. Not only that, I just recently received a massive raise. I think it's true to say that most companies with programmer-unfriendly policies are the ones that are going to care about degrees. In my case, the company I work for is very open-minded and is more interested in the skills and merits I possess rather than whether or not if I have a sheep skin hanging on the wall at home. So, do yourself a favor: quit school and become self taught. People who learn on their own initiative are much better developers anyway.
I almost went down there to get in line before dawn and snap one up, but my wife said lots of unreasonable things like, "You don't need another computer," and "What's wrong with the computer you have now?"
Get out. Get out now... before you end up having children.
These are organ transplants. Nothing about the genetics of the recipient changes when organs are implanted. If the lamb reproduces, the offspring will be 100% lamb. What kind of crack-pot science-fiction freak are you?
Makes me wonder if Java is really just as bad as ActiveX
Who the hell moderates stuff like this as "insightful". I don't have any exact numbers in front of me (nor will I spend the time to find them), but I can safely tell you that over their respective lifetimes, ActiveX has suffered many orders of magnitude more exploits than Java ever will. The only meaningful caveat I can think of to this statement is the "default" Java runtime environment (that used to be) packaged with Internet Explorer that is written by Microsoft. Of course, you can hardly attribute any problems with that to Java because Microsoft built it on top of ActiveX and took very little interest in security when doing so.
Also, I should point out that any of theoretical exploits will have the most damage on Windows than other platforms because Windows is insecure. It seems that any code running on a Windows box has, one way or another, unbridled access to resources that should be above the user's privileges, but that's an entirely different situation altogether...
Now that I'm older, I want to spend my time doing interesting things. Anything I buy I want to be something techy or some kind of cool toy. So, once having someone else follow the fashion trends for you and pick out clothes is actually quite convenient. Yes, as a kid it sucks, but once you get old, it's a good idea to rekindle that activity. "Mom! I need more boxers|socks|shirts|etc!"
...it just seems like most of these other games out there are visually so unappealing and flat. I'm used to real shadows, bump-maps, and dynamic lighting everywhere. I check out those screenshots and I think I've been spoiled. Reality can't be suspended by such lack-luster sights anymore.
The ones who brought up the first draft bill where Democrats, which was opposed by the Republicans and rest of the Democrats alike, so how does Bush winning make it more likely?
Remember, Evolution (as well as Creation) are both Theories (the Theory of Evolution).
Incorrect. Evolution itself is not a theory. However, there exists a theory that attributes the development of complex life to the process of evolution (that is what you are most likely referring to). I suggest you read a brief article over at talk.origins titled Top Five Major Misconceptions about Evolution. It should help clear up some confusion about what evolution is and what scientists mean when using the term.
I'm very disappointed that Peter Jackson has decided not to include a very important scene in The Two Towers. One day I hope that future generations will get to see these movies with the badger scenes fully restored...
removing the unnecessary Arwen scenes to compensate
Yes, how perfectly Slashdot-nerdesque: remove the hot, busty chick with the sheer top so that we can see a bunch of short, fat, hairy hobbits run around and beat up on old wizzards. Sheesh man, get your priorities straight!;)
Your points are all absolutely correct. You could even go so far as to look at the whole journey taken by the four hobbits as being a trainer for dealing with the Scouring. From the perspective of Frodo and friends, it is still something as a periphery matter when considering the well-being of the Shire.
did you know the entire battle at Pellenor Fields took only ONE chapter in the book, but almost an hour in the movie?
In my edition of The Two Towers, the battle of Helms Deep took a little over 6 pages yet it was more than half of Peter Jackson's rendition. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but Tolkien's interest in battles was not much more than "...and they fought."
Slashdot Mirror
I was thinking of Sprint's flat-rate data service, for example, with a link cable between cell-phone and PC. Or if you're a Treo 650 user...
Ack. Whoops. :) I guess, being this is Slashdot, you can't be too harsh. I could also clame that english is not my first language. ;)
Now there can be an end to the airline's monopoly on in-flight Internet access. Gives us geeks something to do while sitting for hours on a plain.
Laptops are shown to raise the temperature of the scrotum. Lapdances also raise the temperature. Is the latter of these two also harmful?

If only we had some sort of software that allowed us to specify which devices (virtual or otherwise) to boot from when the system comes up...

Clearly it's $699.
No no no, it's more like "Mozira vesus Ekporora". Get your engrish straight, okay?
