EXACTLY! Slashdot, please hire an actual Editor. You know, those guys they have at newspapers? They make sure stories are "fit to print," (to paraphrase the NYT) checking for spelling errors, grammatical errors, and relevancy. Wait -/. already has editors... How bout hiring one with an English degree, then?
JIT inventory is not the same as JIT manufacturing. JIT inventory means your parts/supplies arrive at the factory as they are needed. JIT manufacturing means your widgets/computers/whatever are manufactured as they are ordered by the customer.
In the case studies I have done, (Nissan, Ford) I haven't heard of an auto manufacturer using JIT manufacturing for its primary method. Maybe for specific BTO models, but not across the board. And besides, popularizing is not the same as pioneering.
Yeah, seriously. No WAY is it a knock-off of the LCD Imac! Any diehard MacAddict will tell you: this thing is a knock-off of the 5-year-old Twentieth Anniversary Mac.
It requires SO MUCH restraint on my part to keep mysefl from stealing the fire engine from the firehouse around the corner. I walk by it almost every day, and almost every time i walk by its just sitting there half out of the garage, beckoning me closer...
"STEAL ME, CORTEZ!! I HAVE A HOSE THAT SHOOTS OUT IN FRONT!! I HAVE A SIREN!! CHICKS DIG ME!!"
Its getting pretty bad now, I look for the triangle button so it will yank the firefighters out of the drivers seat...

"ybos. We make technology easy."
Couldn't you at least make pronunciation of your company easy? Which is it, 'why-boes', 'yibboes', 'e-boes', or 'why-bee-oh-ess'?
I went into eb tonight and they had the same thing (listed at $129)... so i tried to pre-buy one at that price and of course some schmo came up to the register and was like "what the fuck? those things are supposed to be $400" and so the salesman did a double take and wouldn't let me buy it anymore. god dammit
I was in a discussion with the president of Lightband, LLC the other day and he was telling me about how his company was bringing high-speed connections throughout Africa via sattelite. Granted, its expensive and the latency is high, but its still high-speed internet access, good for businesses who need it more for the bandwidth than the latency across a long distance.
Not in my office!! if an application crashes, its MY fault, because obviously I was messing with someones files. It doesnt matter if they didn't know wat all those.dll files were and so they deleted them. Duh!
They have a channel devoted to video game commercials. It was lots of fun to watch, but mostly because I was seeing games that weren't out yet, in a language I'm still learning.
I just hope that it doesn't get too commercial... I wouldn't mind seeing people playing video games (in fact I love that Korean stuff, my roommate Jung tapes it for me when she goes home) but I really don't think I could sit through two hours of Crash Bandipoopchute 23 and Spyro 6 commercials.
Run your own mail server. Just a relay is all you need... make sure its authenticated so you dont get blacklisted by ORDB. I use ArGoSoft mail server, its small, uncrippled and freeware (they have plus and pro versions for $$). And its a fully functional server, so you dont deal with verizon's BS.
i dunno wtf you can do about ftp blocking, that is some major bullshit.
Does ESR have the time to do this?? it seems like a daunting task.
How 'bout adding a layer of security to apt, so that it authorizes the server it is connecting to, with SSH or something? and/or adding a "secure" preference that won't install packages through apt/rpm that aren't signed... at least this way the user can automatically deny unsigned packages if he chooses.
This is what my dad said to me when I had a similar situation about 2 years ago:
"If you study business, you can do anything you want."
So I changed my major to CS with IS and I can get my MBA in less than a year once I gobble some experience points up. You'd be surprised: a lot of business courses are really interesting (with the exception of MIS that is, surprise) if you can deal with the all the cute girls and whiny students. Whiny students really just mean less busywork, anyway.
its not for heat dispersal, its for increased firepower. The trigger just spins the barrels, the co2 is like always on. it gives it a higher rate of fire.

Duh.
you're right, copyright doesn't protect the design of the cartridge.
But design patents do.
The sole reason I go to my Visual Basic class. The room has near-perfect lighting - you can even play castlevania in there.

as much as I'd enjoy reading Lessig's take on every little thing, I'm in agreement with the other replies, his time is better spent elsewhere.
You could alwasy go read his books, Code: and other laws of cyberspace and his new one The Future of Ideas: The Fate of the Commons in a Connected World
Or jsut check out his website

This was all just a clever ploy to wring 8 karma points out of one post, wasnt it?

Did you switch to OS/2 Warp back in the day?
Thought not, even though it satisfied all three of your requirements back in the pre-windows 95 days.
