Below the event horizon, any delta that moves you away from the singularity takes you above the speed of light. If you were to turn on your rockets and aim for outer space, even if you only hovered there without moving away, you'd be exceeding the speed of light. AT the event horizon, hovering requires you to travel at exactly the speed of light. Time dialation in a gravity well can have weird effects:-)
Spam *doesn't* work. But there are plenty of companies out there willing to try it and plenty of spammers spinning the numbers right to convince companies to try it.
Spam *does* work for the spammers, but not for anyone else. You're dead on, companies who pay to have spam sent are being scammed and the data to prove it is too hard to sift through, and so it continues.
I used to be addicted to an MMORPG, and to online Quake 3, if you want to call it an addiction. Here's the thing though.
I spent HOURS (4 or 5) a day playing the MMORPG, and maybe an hour at the most on Quake. That's because they are entirely different games. These addiction theorists would have you believe that I was addicted to the MMORPG but not to Quake, because of the number of hours I spent playing it. The reality is, I played the game as many hours as I did simply because that's what is required to play the game. MMORPG's simply aren't designed or suited for short term intermittent play.
This is mostly bullshit. I believe that some people do actually become seriously addicted to games, but for the most part, it's nonsense.
A person becomes 'addicted' to an MMORPG the same way they become 'addicted' to a good book. I've spent hours a day reading (who hasen't), and after awhile start to think it's time to do something else, but can't put the book down. Addicted? I don't think so.
If exposed to bleach, much of the information will be lost. Interestingly, the information that is retained is invariably about such things as hair spray, boys, and that one bitch who always wears stuff from totally last week, oh my gawd!
>> gah. stupid autocorrect. "It's" supposed to be "Its".
OK I'm confused. Is that supposed to mean "'It' is supposed to be 'Its'"? Or did you mean "'It's' is suppused to be 'Its'"? Did you say that sentence out loud before posting? I mean, if we're being grammar zealots...:-)
This country has completely lost it's perspective (if it ever had any). The fine amounts reflect a level of desire in the country to stop a particular activity. Nobody would argue that boobs are more harmful than nuclear waste, yet the fines indicate that we DO think that. How does a country, or it's government anyway, get so ridiculously out fo touch with reality?
I disagree. In my experience, it's as obvious as the nose on your face what algorithm to use. If it isn't, either you should find another line of work, or the difference is minimal anyway. Use the right algo to begin with, then you won't waste time later adapting your code to a different one.

WTF is with you capitalizing 'gun'? This is classis stuff. And ironic, because I think if you look at the per-capita murder rate in the 'bible belt', you'll find it's lower than other places where guns are less plentiful.
You cannot prevent killing by blocking access to guns. Period. People who are somehow fucked up enough to want to kill someone, will do it. They'll use whatever they can get ahold of, like say a letter opener. Shall we ban those too?
The whole gun banning thing is just the most elitist, retarded argument ever!
Actually, the GPL could be a lot shorter if Stallman haden't riddled it with Stallmanisms. Just like most everything else he writes, his extreme idealism comes out and smacks you in the face, and it usually winds up hurting the cause more than helping it.

I think this probly nails it.

Which explains why it was settled with an arm wrestle. If you want a real fight, have the robot wear a blowse matching the girl's...
Yeah... but the compression!!!
That's not much different from Write Once Un Readable...
Is that you, Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf? Well... Almost.

Which has to be the most ridiculous state of affairs EVER.

The only thing this proves is that the world should not have to be burdened with crap like EULA's.

Fourteen years to be exact. But hey, at least we got a new vacuum cleaner out of the deal that never clogs. Ever.

Donate? We'll probly have to pay money to get him taken off our hands!
I wonder how much it would cost to get rid of him AND Keanu Reeves... Package deal anyone?

Agreed, most whole heartedly! The LGPL is A Very Good Thing.
Then it should probably render incorrectly.
Every time.
So bassically, you're saying that it's OK to behave *unpredictably* when presented with *predictably* incorrect input. Wrong.
He usually does make very good and well thought out arguments. In this case though, even his delivery is bearable.
The command line is fine and dandy.
Just not DOS!!!
I'm so sick of hearing this. I have yet to hear anyone even attempt to explain what slashcode is doing wrong to cause "The Problem".
Personally, I think it's FF, not Slashcode. I'm sure slashcode has its share of bugs, but...
ANY ONE OF YOU TRASH TALKING IDIOTS CAN EXPLAIN WHAT'S WRONG WITH SLASHDOT WHENEVER YOU CAN SPARE THE DAMN TIME!!! Put up or shut up.
Which will spill an endless torrent of food all over the place.
