Hey.. now all AOL needs to do is use these CD's for their next version, and boom, the global food shortage is gone... anyone have the nutritional information on these things?
Naw, I think the non toxic thing is to push aside fears that a pet/child mght die for ingesting it... but, not sure of the food items added in there...
Yeah, I'm a disgrace to the American people... my ancestors stopped in the US and promptly left for Canada without settleing.
Sheesh. The net is a global place.
But, on to your comment. While the US government does have some nationalists as rabid as what the hard core Nazi's were, they however don't have the control or the leadership that the aforementioned group did.
Does the US have the possibility of makeing some of the same mistakes as Germany did under the nazi's? Perhaps. But, I for one thing that the people of the United states would take action long before anything truely horrific happened.
The post is playing on the association that (small) minds make between Germany as a country and the Nationalist party (more commonly known as nazi) which controled Germany decades ago, as well as with the association with America is the home of the free, with various "freedoms" that have been enjoyed by americans in the past are now being limited in various ways.
It would need the authors permission. Now that would delay the posting for days potentially. Which would result in the multitude of "I saw this in site x days ago." not to mention add to the work to be done by the editors.
Then what do you do if you're told no? post anyway and slashdot the page, or not run a potentially interesting story?
Why be surprised by the non use of a microsoft product. Heck, in highschool while we had had microsoft office, more use was goten out of the corel suite.
Netscape was installed as the default browser Corel Word Perfect was the most commonly used word processing program, Lotus 1-2-3 was the spreadsheet of choice.
It's true that Microsoft OS's were used (MS DOS, Windows 3.1, 3.11, 95 and NT...outdated by many's standards, bute still in use as of 2001), it was done mainly as a comfort level thing for most students and teachers. Linux hadn't exploded the way it has now, and for us, Net acess was limited so little knowledge was there.
Actually no. if the board measures 170mm by 170 mm that means it's 28900 mm. 170mm ould give you a shape that's oh... just over 13mm (bit over half an inch) on a side.
But, in the end it is your money, to be spent how you decide to. Myself, I like mandrake, it's served me better than redhat has, or any other distro I've tried.
Primarily to fund the development of the Mandrake Linux distribution. It will also pay the salaries of employees who are dedicated to "external" Free Software projects such as the Linux kernel, KDE, GNOME, Prelude, and others.
That is one of the reasons to donate, to pay for some of the coders/hackers (and yes, I'm useing the term hacker in the sense of one who comes up with a creative solution to a problem) that add to the communal body of code, who, without this paycheque, may have to explore other places of emply, many of which will be less willing to make such a donation of an employee's paid time to something like this.
How about for maintained improvements of the project?
You're not paying for what you have -now-, you're paying towards the future. Infact, in this case to help make the future as brght as possible. If they have to cut costs down (which they will without donations) they'll have to reduce the people working on projects... which slows innovation(money is anice incentive for change)... which means the average linux user could possibly loose out.
"peacefully inhabited the land"? Brush up on your history, particuarly that prior to the founding of the 13 colonies, when it North america was simply being exploited for wood, fish, and fur.
Those who inhabited north america prior to the landingof the europeans did fight wars between various tribes and confederacies. In fact, that's how some of the earliest settlers (Both English and French) gained the trust of the native tribes, they aided them in their conflict with the other native groups.
As for killed most of them... only the ones that stayed in the US... rather large native population in Canada, which has for the most part been treated better than their american counterparts (and some would argue better than the people of european decent... but that's entirely another issue entirely).
I think that in the log, it pretty much states the Slashdot makes no profit, it actually survives off OSDN.
Basically, Slashdot's a cash sinkhle, at this point in time, an aceptable one, for whatever reasons, but Taco and the rest want some extra free cash to invest into Slashdot (hardware stuff) to improve things.
Slashdot Mirror
Could it be? A Spider Robinson fan?
There is intellegent life on slashdot!
Not trying to be as good as the US... to make the fact realised that both countries are on relitively even ground.

Just need a general direction. That's why subs have to run silently at times. One "ping" and the element of surprise is given away...
if multiple signals are coming from the same area, how hard is it to order a few shells lobbed at the area?
Oh yes... but, how much time does an average man spend out in the field? Over 2 hours... and the duration would be less with heavey exhertion...
(BTW, it would more likely be put under the light cloaking sui... not much use the other way)
Stealth technologies is all well and fine... but with the general move away from personal combat towards ships, planes and tanks...
Uh.. wouldn't anything that broadcasted a location be entirely agianst the princibles of useing a suit that made hideing easier?
Even getting the aproximate location of a person would make the suit useless.
Not to mention that this will just increase the use of thermal imaging...
Ya know... i've never heard something so stupid put across as sounding so intellegent before.
Good job!
They updated and released chainmail in the past year.
Haven't played it, but, it's out there, and I'd expect rather changed from the original version.

Remember, area(mm) = length(mm) * width(mm)
Don't forget handwaveium.
To help keep things diverse?

Maybe "Punch Out"? aka "Mike Tyson's Punch Out"?
Gotta watch out, might lose an ear as well as a few teeth.

Not to mention it would save on bandwidth (No more "I hate Katz" or "Katz is an idiot" posts)
Although, I have him blocked so it makes little difference to me.

Then they just wet down the ground, and let ide do the work rather than use the goo.
That works if it's on a soft surface, like gravel, or a lawn...
But try that on pavement... you'll not go very far.
That would be the horror story I'm refering to... was just far too lazy to track down the link.
Nope, I remember it being a table, under the table, to the legs and perhaps a pegbord at the back of the table...
