It makes people feel more comfortable to think that obesity stems from lack of control
Oh really? I mean, REALLY?!?!? Which people I wonder? As a person who could afford to lose some weight I would be seriously tempted to be able to blame my weight on factors beyond my control. "It's not me honey, it's the virus. Now pass the dang doughnuts before my virus makes me hurt someone." Except, I know that's not true.
It leaves me wondering how long it will be until we prove that no one is responsible for anything.
But while I was doing research on the PRC to find some fodder, I found myself getting sicker and sicker reading about China's treatment of families, particularly, women and children. What's worse, is that America seems to be moving toward China rather than away from them. So this is meant to be an anti-joke, a small dose of sobriety amidst my daily regimen of vanity.
Ah, but how do we know this is in fact the actual text of the article and not some Chinese-Google modified version of the story being served from a top secret server farm in Beijing. Hmmm?!?! Who is this Bill Thompson? We don't know. I've never met him. Maybe he should come to my house and prove he's a loyal American... or Britain... or Englishman... He might be a robot or Chinese, or worse... a Chinese World of Warcraft robot gold farmer. Well he won't fool me!!
I think I'll be spending the rest of the century in my tin-foil lined saferoom playing WOW and asking people to type several pages of flawless grammar before they join my group.
Take that China. Take that Sergey Brin. Take that robots.
Project UngoodWare aims to give you a double plus good bellyfeel about your computer. The people of Harvard and Oxford will have a goodthink and make an effort to stop the many installcrimes done by the unpersons who make ungoodware.

I imagine a good bit of the book is taken up by repetition of the title:
In Beginning Excel What-if Data Analysis Tools: Getting Started with Goal Seek, Data Tables, Scenarios, and Solver we're going to show you how to use some of Excel's What-if Data Analysis Tools. Beginning Excel What-if Data Analysis Tools: Getting Started with Goal Seek, Data Tables, Scenarios, and Solver is written with the beginner in mind, but if you are coming to Beginning Excel What-if Data Analysis Tools: Getting Started with Goal Seek, Data Tables, Scenarios, and Solver as an intermediate user, we have something for you. Even if you are coming to Beginning Excel What-if Data Analysis Tools: Getting Started with Goal Seek, Data Tables, Scenarios, and Solver as an advanced user, we believe that you will come away with something useful. So let's get started with Beginning Excel What-if Data Analysis Tools: Getting Started with Goal Seek, Data Tables, Scenarios, and Solver.
P.S. I had a lot of fun writing Beginning Excel What-if Data Analysis Tools: Getting Started with Goal Seek, Data Tables, Scenarios, and Solver, and I hope you have as much fun reading it.
I'd say you have no chance in hell of writing a single book that will tell people like your grandmother and my mom how computers work. A lot of it's bound up in information theory, and if you've never thought about it before, it's a lot like swallowing the red pill and waking up outside of the Matrix, because it legitimately touches on every aspect of your life.
Having said that, I do wish you luck. Maybe you have such pedagogical skill that I will be proven completely wrong.

From the Restaruant at the End of the Universe "Not unnaturally, many elevators imbued with intelligence and precognition become terribly frustrated with the mindless business of going up and down, up and down, experimented briefly with the notion of going sideways, as sort of an existential protest, demanded participation in the decision making process and finally took to squatting in basements sulking."
Starting next Monday the Yellow Cab Company of Chicago will begin charging all business to which a fare is delivered. "It is unreasonable," said Abraham Stoley, President of Yellow Cab, "for businesses to receive the benefit of customers and employees arriving at their sites in a safe and timely manner and for them to pay nothing. We spend time, we spend gas, and quite frankly, we expect them to pay their fair share of the fare." Although they are not implementing it at this time, Mr. Stoley went on to say that they may also begin billing all businesses passed on the way to a destination, as these business receive "free marketing". Businesses everywhere were unavailable for comment.
Those involved in the Quaero project, including Thomson, France Telecom and Deutsche Telekom, have said that it will be much more than a typical search engine
I'm waiting for a press release that say something like "Those involved in the Chameleon search engine project have stated that Chameleon will be a complete ripoff of existing search engines, with little to no innovation."
I'm long past getting excited about products that were just announced by groups that have no significant track record in the area they are proposing to enter.
Just when I thought we had hit the cap on stories posted concerning Microsoft, Apple, and Intel, we get one that could reasonably be filed under Microsoft, Windows, Apple, Intel, News, etc.
...agreement by The Anti-Spyware Coalition on some standard methods for identifying and combating spyware. From the article: "The Anti-Spyware Coalition, whose members include Microsoft, Symantec, Computer Associates, McAfee, AOL and Yahoo, said on Thursday that it has finalized its spyware detection guidelines.
I guess now we just have to wait for the Spyware Coalition to agree to the demands that they write spyware to these specifications...
I wonder if the Motorola deal will come back to haunt Apple. If the impression that other copmanies come away with is that Apple held back on the Motorola deal so they could launch a better deal for themselves, that could hurt future relationships.
OTH, I realize that in business dealings you very rarely get both sides of the story and Apple may be able to sit down with future partners and easily allay any fears they might have. Business is funny like that and has a lot more to do with confidence than with money.
My company believed that we had a private key infrastructure, but it seems that our moss green frog hide-a-key was a layer of deception far too easily pierced by even the most novice criminal mind...
from the blog: Later, it was explained by the only person at Gamepark Holdings who speaks English that they didn't really understand what they were saying. Apparently, they don't seem to understand the GPL, either.
Well, they understood how to get up an English web site. And they understood how to design a device and market it and take people's money. I think they are like anyone else, in that they understand as well as they want to...
It's cool that they chose Linux, but if they wanted to do keep from disclosing the source code, they should have chosen BSD.
I think it might qualify as ironic that for the first few minutes after the article for a Slashdot editor's book appeared, I kept getting Move along, nothing to see here when I clicked on the "Read More" link...
I think all the patents should be put in a queue that is visible to the public and that we can moderate. Also, maybe there should be a limit on how many patent submissions you can make in a day, or a week, or something. And I don't think Roland Piquepaille or Beatles Beatles should be able to patent anything.
Wait... didn't we already have this discussion today?

Is it just me, or does Kevin Mitnick (I'm assuming that's Mitnick in the article) look an awful lot like a young Steve Guttenberg?

Silly slashdot editor... the moon controls the tide.

oh, and no replies that say:

Well then, maybe someone would like to explain to me why my iPod is engraved with the following:

we now use a terra-cotta sleeping bunny key safe and feel much more secure.
The discussion about this topic was fast and furious yesterday.
And today you were hoping they would be 2 Fast 2 Furious?
A sort of commentary sequel, if you will? Hmmmm?
