Ok, in next weeks computer science class you'll learn signed and unsigned numbers. Any binary combination represents that many _states_ which can relate to any number/thing they wants. In this case there's no reason to hold a negative N numbers of bugs so you'd be much smarter to read the binary number off as a positive integer.
On TV, the bastion of reality, several people could slow their heart beats. One guy was down to one or two beats a minute while lying in cold icy water.
A friend of mine can get down to 10/12 beats a minute.
Doesn't this mean the brain (or something, never liked the idea of a central thinking/memory source for the body) can somewhat control the heart?
Unfortunately anonymous posters could quite easily create a user just for a purposes of posting. A user name doen't validate that the person won't want to troll if that's the purpose of the user account.
With the moderation problems of the current system (in that moderat0rs giving their points to topics they don't know enough about but that look authoritive) would be more problematic when they have control over stories also.
Unfortunately I think a human touch is the only current way to see through the shit.
However what I'd like to see is an open possible article list that anyone can post on to help assist/(troll) the editors in choosing good stories - with the final decision being on the editor. Previous articles like the Quake text mode version will then hopefully be known about before posting (ed's can still post it with the backing that it doesn't look so accidental)
Thank you for your time, and may you get breakfast in bed tomorrow morning, champ.
The scene from the transformers movie where Megatron knocks Optimus down and they play that epic rock van halen styled power chords. Bloddy brilliant touch.
What I really dislike (apart from the eventual 'an internal error occurred' message box that pops up after program termination) is the fact that sometimes (cannot really say why this happens) I click on the menu bar (e.g. File) and the menu won't come up!
That happens to me occasionally. I can't get any menu bars to respond or even close the window by clicking the [X]. But if I go into another browsing window then back it's ok again.
Personally, I blame yeuchy girls, jews, and doz' boys over at redmond.. and the boogie-monster.
You can get a list of slashdot's advertisers straight from their AdFu server (moved from adfu.blockstackers.com.. because of traffic?). An unbias person running it wouldn't be enough (they'd still have to be on VA's payroll - not enough seperation to remove doubt for the averagely paranoid, har, har).
But does slashdot still control the ad process? (this isn't a flame, i'm genuinely asking).
An open bidding, ALA Ebay would be about the only was of pleasing those who suspect - what say you, cmdrtaco?
There was an idea I read in the paper a few days ago about movie rental that you earned by watching ten minutes of adverts and answering questions - or paying the rental fee.
I think the current problem of the media is that it's too cheap to reproduce and so a free information (`end of days` is information?) won't sustain an economy.
<p>Originally a b&w 2D video couldn't be copied but now it can. Because of the nature of people no one would try and control the tide and so colour films at high res with selectable languages and interactive - flow chart styled - movie sequences are also easy to possibly copy. The technology is wide spread.
<p>Maybe the artists could move into media that involves technology people don't have the ability to copy. Like atoms and not this easy digital thing.
They speculated that the balls floated with air current. All originating from the ground but scampering off to the nearest aircraft to scare other new zealand scientists, like Jason Gunn.
I kinda disagree. When one company is developing a system it's inherently limited to several goals - many, if it's well managed. But the people who write device drivers now or utilities probably don't do it for the attention and won't change what they do because of a change of linux focus. People write to solve problems, it won't change much.
Stupid moderat0r. When you don't understand what's going on don't go do it. It wasn't an insult or a troll. The band, Porno for Pyros, their song, Pets.
The GUI's end up being slow because they are processing text output
A little wrong there. Not all GUI apps with UI seperation need to read output text - the true seperation from UI is the option to output a number of ways. An example of this is something like MySQL results being sent to a PHP script. Quite a different format from the text output.
ps. All 'GDB' is an example of, is a badky designed app.
On DVDutils.com there's an email address asking for responses to the form letter being sent around to sites to take down deCSS content. The link to the site (in english) is here (temporary mirror while dvdutils scamper from server to server... ie:may not be available/may be out of date by the time you get to it/check the dot com for current schtuff).
And, if you're particularly bored, my letter. It's wanky and tame, but that's what they're supposed to be;)

Hi you crazy kids, you
We both know there isn't a legal standpoint for doing what you're doing when it comes to legal action about taking down the information pertaining to decoding DVDs on dvdutils.com. There are perfectly legal reasons for decoding legally purchased DVDs so as to view them on other operating systems not supported by vendors. You have no legal right - and in my eyes no moral right - to threaten these websites with legal action. These are small sites largely run by passionate unpaid people for the benefit of others. They probably haven't the resources to stand against your false claims - and with the cost involved are forced (albeit in a defacto kinda way) to bow under your legal weight of faulty claims. Discussing the merits and flaws in DVD encryption is not illegal and your actions degrace the legal profession.
I was reading an online Canadian magazine recently (sorry, can't recall the url) and they proposed Microsoft moving it's base of operations to Canada and along with the article and it's supposed benefits to Canadian soceity was a poll asking readers if they'd want Microsoft living nearby. The answer was yes.
So you want to fly 2d pages in 3d with (i'm assuming) some lines for page links? Firstly HTML is one way linking (ie, goto coke.com and you don't get links out to the millions of sites saying "this site powered by coke", only whatever they link to on the site)... the concept of webpages and the 2d graphics that are placed on them are best viewed in a flat, 2d, perspective. When they get some formats/protocols that effectively emulate a 3d world (not VRML!;) then maybe we'll see a use for genuine fly-through 3d content but till then it's (and who want's to read a page at an angle rather than right in front of them?).
I've been researching (or thinking over beers) about how a 3d web would be best used. A window in your browser that rendered the links in 3d by querying a search engine (like Google with the link=vote philosophy) would be useful.
However, mostly, I think the web will go 3d through a hack of quake3, it's so much of an easier transition.
I'm not sure if this was exactly what you were responding to but Chrome effects refers to Mozilla's UI that can be fully customised using XPToolkit.... imagine freeamp skins (read:winamp skins) but with functionality so you may place buttons anywhere using existing technologies like XML, CSS, HTML, Javascript (ecmascript?) DOM.
Meaning future downloads of a dumbed down interface for your Aunt Gladis or a NIN mozilla chrome with inbuilt mp3 player.
If you can't hack Mozilla assembling a Chrome helps to do your bit to make Mozilla a better browser (...than IE:). If you want to learn more about chromes try Mozillazine's chromeZone.
That is completely untrue. You do not have to be good at something to make money doing it. Take Microsoft for example, they make some of the buggiest bloated software anyone's ever seen, and they got tons of money doing it.
Microsoft's goal isn't to produce good software, it's to get people to buy their software/hardware... which they're very good at (at least, in the short term).
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, porn.

Shitty HTML is accepted on slashdot far more than shitty programming.
That's kinda shitty.
KoRn!
