I have trouble keeping my son in his high chair with his hands in plain site in a high chair. Good luck getting infants to sit still.
I don't know who's stupider: The idiots at the TSA who come up with the rules, the politicians that give them this power, or the dickheads that allow the politicians to be elected.
I'll stay well out of your country. I only wish your fucked up rules didn't get copied by our own government and idiotic organisations. We just had some ridiculous security restrictions lifted in Australia. What's the bet that all gets reversed thanks to you crazy as fuck yanks?
How does this work? Defending border by webcam sounds like "Stop! Hold it right there! Or I'll start my video feed and show you my genitals". How is that wholesome for that matter?
They couldn't meet their quota of 140 XBoxes an hour, and had to see their specialist for their dwarfism, but Amazon penalised them a point anyway. But they're okay with it. 14 miles a day on such stumpy legs is a killer!
The game's already been written. See black and white. You get to be the God of the religion, decide how good or evil you are and do battle with other gods. You make miracles and get people to worship you.
You lot just listen to some old beardy dude wailing "Allaaaaaaaaaaahu akbar" like he's got his knackers in a clamp, so I suppose you don't get the concept.
First of all I'm not Muslim, you lame racist wanker. Don't let reality get in the way of your rant though. Secondly what the fuck does that have to do with a joke version of "I've got you babe"? Get head out of your arse.
Huh? 100 times more efficient? How does that work when current cells are more than 1% efficient to begin with. You can't pull out energy that isn't there? What am I missing?
That's okay. Just call them hon, talk about how hard core they are, and hit on them. When they get mad, they get distracted, and when they're distracted they're sloppy. Then when they lose tell them they play like a girl. Recommend you wear a groin protector if you're going to try this in person.
Thank you very much. Resized JPegs of schematics where you can't read the print are just irritating. What you provided was much better than the Wired article.
But thanks to the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act
They say we're young and we don't know. Won't be out of copyright till we grow. Well I don't know Babe if you think that's true But I've got a bill that'll F*** you!
Babe. I own you babe. I own you babe.
They say this music won't pay the rent But I'll increase copyright and they'll get bent I guess that's so, this song is dross But at least I'm sure that I won't make a loss
Babe. I own you babe. I own you babe.
I got money coming in And I don't have to do a thing And when I'm sad, I'll copyright a clown Then laud it over parents all over the town
Don't let them say your copyright's too long Why would I care? I can buy a thousand bongs Then put your awful song with mine Sit on our backside while our profits climb
Babe. I own you babe. I own you babe.
I got though this song's bland I got you, you understand? I got you if you walk like that I've got you if you talk like that I've got you kiss your music goodnight I've got you and you know what you can bite I got you, I won't let go I got you to pay me so
Something that I rarely hear pointed out is that, with copyright as we know it today, Christianity would have died "in the womb." Imagine if the various churches who were the recipients of Paul's letters were unable to make copies and forward them to other churches. Imagine if the Bible were originally copyrighted (the way that the modern critical texts are! I still don't really get that one--how a 2000 year-old text can be coyrighted.) Copyright is an enemy of the Christian faith
While I class myself an atheist I have always believed that people must be permitted to believe what they choose. I'm against copyright in its current form, but in this case it's a good thing. If a religious sect chooses to use copyright to self-destruct, I won't shed a tear. Copyright does far worse things than make superstition less affordable and less popular. What makes this dangerous however is that any religion whose texts aren't available publicly and for free cannot be evaluated by someone before deciding to believe in it. One could argue anyone wishing to believe in superstitious nonesense gets what they deserve but the trouble is that is exactly how a cult operates, and we're all familiar with the dangers of cults.
I hate PHP but there are lots of reasons why PHP might be the better solution. Others have pointed out how ridiculous this is. ASM, C, C++ require more skill, and tkae more time to program with. It seems the moment that lately the moment the environment is mentioned as a factor, not only do all other factors cease to be considered, but all common sense goes out the window. It's like everyone in the room spontaneously turns 12 years old and decides they have the solutions to all the world's problems if only everyone would listen, all the while ignoring the knock on effects and complexities of the real world.
If it's the manager's fault, and it always is unless we're talking about developers who work night shifts
You can delude yourself into thinking a middle manager has the power to dictate deadlines if you like but in a lot of organisations that simply isn't true. The deadline is decided by those higher up based on external pressures and the desires and will of upper management. The middle manager has to try to make it work. Often it is expected by upper management that developers will stay back late to do it. The resulting timeline is a fiction and everyone's butt is on the line. If it doesn't work, there's always an outsourcing firm willing to lie about being able to deliver more quickly and efficiently (as if that were in their best interests).
This is exactly why proprietary systems that are built on anti-competitive practices and don't give you the ability to install applications without approval are a very bad idea in the long run, regardless of initial cool factor.
There are still good IT jobs out there, just not as many as during the boom. Realise that other industries also go through boom and bust cycles and that you're going to have to spend time and money getting qualified in something else. If you're going to spend most of your waking hours doing something, might as well pick something you enjoy and chase the good jobs in that industry, rather than chasing jobs and industries you don't enjoy.
What you do if the commercial is loud is turn down the decibel limit until it's not loud, then when your movie comes on it sits below the decibel limit and isn't as loud. That'd allow you to equalise the two.
I've always had a thing for blue skinned alien girls.
Mr Shatner, I didn't realise you were a slashdot user! Nice to talk to you! Please don't write any more Star Trek films though. Star Trek V was enough.

Did you actually try singing that, or even speaking it out loud? Scansion - look it up.
Dude it's a joke on an Internet board, and singing it out loud might get me fired. Get a grip.
I mean, come on, you already can't sing "Happy Birthday" without owing royalties to someone long dead. Just how low can it go?
How low? You've clearly never heard the Egyptian recording of Happy Birsday To Yooooooooou
I don't have any idea if it was made to get around that copyright but it will make your ears bleed.

A blow job would be nice, thanks.
You obviously have a different manager to me. *shudder*
I own a camera you see.
"Neither the friend nor the couple are known. In fact, who knows if this is even real, and who cares, it's hilarious."
What's next? Fart jokes? Unverified of course!
Care to hack your phone over it?

If you can't take it all in at once, what's the big deal?
Finally a photo that works like photos do on CSI when it comes to zoom!
Why do all record making photographs have to be so aesthetically repulsive!?!?

Thanks for calling me clueless.

There should be 2 volumes you can set on the TV.
1. Existing TV volume
2. Decibel limit
Once the decibel limit is reached the tv set compensates by turning itself down in real time.
Legislate that every TV sold has number 2 on the basis of health and safety. Stiff fines for not complying or trying to circumvent.
