Uh, the Texas City explosion wasn't really a technology problem. More of an industrial-safety issue. Proper labeling, pre-planned procedures, and all that. A very low-tech incident, to be sure.
You must have been mis-informed by the media. That happens. The only places in the USA that have power problems are the ones that haven't built any additional power capacity in the last 10 years due to environmentalist protests.
Hitler's men did have all the guns. That's why nobody could resist them once they took control of the state machinery! Imagine a situation in Germany akin to that of current-day Algeria, Colombia, or Afghanistan, or even wartime Czechoslovakia.
It certainly would have aided Hitler's opposition to resist after having the country's power structure stolen from them. Then, Hitler would have been busy putting down insurgencies and guerrilla wars inside his own country, with no time to oppress foreigners.
Cats' mind control doesn't work too well when humans take them to the vet to be neutered.
Seems as if widespread sterilization would refute the 'evolution' argument as well. No animals with successful traits would reproduce! Nobody wants a big strong tomcat, or a fat kitten factory.
Outdated FUD. Opera has had an option for quite some time now that enables it to behave like Internet Explorer. Of course, that ruins much of Opera's functionality, but hey, small solutions for small minds.
When Opera identifies itself as MSIE or Netscape, the Opera string is still in the user-agent. Thus,
Opera/6.0 (Windows 2000; U) [en]
Is my current user-agent. If some idiot has created a page and chosen to restrict viewing to one or two of the many browsers availible, you tell Opera to report its user-agent as MSIE, but the Opera string is still there, and will show up in the logs:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows 2000; U) Opera 6.0 [en]
Knowing the mental qualities of most page-restrictors, this fools their detection scripts quite nicely. This can blow up in your face, however, if the malicious web designer chooses to intentionally exclude Opera, by denying all browsers that contain 'opera' anywhere. I have complained about this to the Opera support groups but they told me it wasn't possible to do a "complete" fake header. If you want that I guess you have to rewrite user-agent headers with a proxy.
Reducing costs by replacing your telecommunications-grade infrastructure with cheap PCs running this month's patchlevel of Red Hat Linux sounds like a recipe for success to me!
Uuuuhh, I'm not sure on how certain you are of the concept, but having a laptop at a geek affair marks you as "one of the chosen". If you don't have a laptop and are not ostentatiously using it within plain sight of everyone, how is anyone to know that you are a dangerous hacker coder? One might as well just show up to an art opening wearing jeans and an A-shirt for all the distinction it gets you.
Yeah, if you think the liquid they put on your popcorn is "butter", you're sadly mistaken. That liquid has no relation to any dairy product ever created.
I found it rather witty, even though I did feel deceived. The intro was plausible enough to pass a 2-second inspection. It would have been much worse, though, had the joke been less funny, misspelled, you name it. Rather shocking that timothy posted this one, as he's usually the worst about posting misleading stories, endless duplicates, etc. Seems the one who submitted the article wrote the lurid intro; timothy just made the editorial decision to post it.
I bet when they look at the logs for this story, and see how many extra hits it got, a light bulb will pop up in someone's head.
in their news postings. That kind of thing is usually what gets corporate masters' attention, and is usually why heavy-handed stupid policies get put into place. Recall the senseless corporate internet lockdowns all because Larry the marketing guy had topless jpegs in his temp folder.
*I* was referring to the REAL KLF, from the great, great book. The idiots you mention STOLE their name from there. Their shitty music does not at all live up to their namesake.
I bet this moron has never heard of the Principia Discordia. *weep*
Hear, hear. Netrek's major problem is its own people. Don't even think about posting in rec.games.netrek unless you've been playing since 1992, the regulars will shit all over you (*cough* Tom Holub *cough*). The skill gulf that exists between joe schmoe players and good players is far greater than any other online game such as Quake. God forbid you should ever get dooshed while carrying the precious precious armies, you'll be kicked off the server immediately if you're not a "known" player.
Plus, after you've gone through the newbie stage and really begin to play, you realize that netrek really isn't all that exciting. You can't even fight Klingons vs. Federation, for pete's sake. One of the ship classes is totally pointless. There's only one server nowadays that has a pickup game, and all the netrek variants are dead (the regulars cheer this). Don't get me wrong, I really liked netrek at one point (I have the honor of being picked DEAD LAST in the draft the one year I entered) but netrek and its players are simply calcified.
Yuh, like a $9/hr Kinko's employee is going to be the myrmidon of copyright law, tirelessly vetting every customer's content before allowing access to the duplication technology.
Get a grip, they could care less what you do as long as you don't cause them any extra work.

It's not racist to refer to Americans that way! It's only racism when Americans refer to others in that way. Where's your political correctness, mate?
Good thing war and death weren't around until modern man invented aircraft and nuclear weapons.

FPSA is an intellectual masturbation exercise for privileged eggheads. They don't expect any of the "solutions" to actually be implemented.

No, you're right... timothy is a boob. However, slashdot editorships are not awarded on merit and, to my knowledge, one has never been revoked.

Yah, a sunfire is nice, but I'd hardly call it "Big Iron". It's obvious whoever used this term has never seen a Real Computer *cough* PC users *cough*
Pop music is commerce, and makes no attempt to disguise itself.
I like how you used French to disguise the practice of picking up litter and exhibiting it as art.
Besides, I hate the KLF idiot for dirtying up the name he took.
