New Orleans teaches us that it isn't a good idea to build below sea level on the coast. It says nothing about "global warming". Remember, some years ago it was "global cooling" that we were concerned about, with the ice age returning.
Sorry, Galileo didn't have problems with the government; he had problems with the Church. The two may have been closely related, but it was the Church, not that State, that he had problems with.
Heliocentrism is a scientific belief that didn't jive with the religious beliefs of the time.
Global warming is a political belief that doesn't jive with the scientific beliefs of the time.
Give me a hardened version of Windows that is more resistant to attacks and doesn't require me to run heavy applications to keep my computer clean.
That's not what they are offering. What they are force-feeding you is their own version of the same kind of software that attempts to clean up after the operating system lets the cruft in. This article is *NOT* about Microsoft making Windows more resistant to this sort of crap.
Even if you wrote a phising page that stated in big, bold, blinking letters "This is a Phishing Scam, and if you fall for it we will drain your bank account", some people would still click the link and enter their data.
..*SOB* what a touching *sob* story, I nearly *sob* passed out with *sob* emotion, especially *sob* *sob* the touching *sob* part about *sob* dipping in read *sob* paint. And when *sob* he was forced to *sob* sit on a *sob* folding chair, *sob* *sob* I thought my *sob* heart would *sob* burst.
Oh *sob*, the inhumanity of it all *sob*, of his not *sob* wanting to sell *sob* his products to *sob* Walmart. *sob* *sob* Maybe *sob* I should *sob* check into my *sob* local Walmart *sob* *sob* for an extended *sob* vacation. *sob* *sob*...
Couldn't this whole story be summarised as "He didn't want to sell lawnmowers to Walmart, so he didn't", instead of this long, dull tirade?
By the way, what the hell does Walmart or Lawnmowers have to do with "news for nerds, stuff that matters"?
Does it have a button to add an anonymous "first post" message to all the articles on the front page? It doesn't even need to look at the number of responses already posted. That seems to be one of the most common exercises done on slashdot.
but of course, deployment of such self-aware entities increases chances of a artificial intelligence takeover, which would suck.
You must have missed several episodes.
All you need to do is ask it to do something impossible, like calculating the last digit of pi, find an intelligent actor, or correctly fill out a tax form, and it will self-destruct.
Be sure to stay far away when it does, because it usually makes a large mess. You do know that computers are always built out of explosives, don't you?
Don't worry about the battery life. It comes with it's own transformer, but you have to be carful not to put it on carpet because that will block the fan ports.
Aren't there any other Windows Only(tm) languages you could teach them? There ought to be plenty of other languages you can choose to lock them into the Windows enviornment.
Now, Jupiter has this new storm that's beginning to rival the classic Red Spot. Is this more sign of a warming solar trend?
It's those two damn SUV's that NASA has running around Mars! Everyone who watches TV knows that SUV's are the only thing that can cause Global Warming! They are exporting our Global Warming to Mars!
It might be useful if all of your class books were available in a searchable format. And it would be good if you could get access to the notes given in class, as some teachers write too fast, and immediately erase after writing.

Netcraft comfirms it, BSA is dying...
Someone had to say it...

Maybe vacations, spin, and cronyism don't work once the electorate begins to be informed.
Oh, so that's why Clinton lost the presidency for the DemocRats.

let me be the first to say "Ghaslespruthmeep"
Sorry, but I already said that last thursday afternoon. You know, after waking up from the drunken rampage on tuesday.
and denying it access to what it contends are vital documents it needs to prepare its defense.
Doesn't that remond you of another case: SCO, "we're breaking up Jim, we need more documents..."

It was just some lawn chairs that some other peddler had left behind as samples.
Maybe Microsoft had just been through, and thus they needed new chairs in a hurry.

WAIT... Steve Ballmer has human children?!?
It was one of those "Hello kids, want to play with my X-Box", then WHAM!, the door slams shut, and you hear a key turning in the lock.

That's almost fast enough to support the average Slashdot's readers requirements for pron.

Just how much crap will MS developers take?!?!?!
Considering what they have already put up with, without a whimper, I'd guess that there is plenty room for much more.
Why should MicroSoft care, when they can get them to line up six deep begging for more?
Can I get one of these to use in one of the "Robot Combat" TV shows? I think I could kick some butt if I could!
Just make sure the audience knows how to duck and cover.

You get extra points for:
Killing you opponent.
Raping them.
Stealing their paddle.
Shoving the tennis ball...
All that aside, much of the attitude is summed up as: "We protect Democracy, we don't practice it."
if they are mamallian red blood cells, how did the clouds get seeded with them int he first place?
When they triggered the improbability drive, a houseplant was converted into a whale...

I love farmed foods. I merrily buy my vegetables without bothering to glance if it is organic or not.
Me, I only eat inorganic vegetables. You know, the ones that are made from refinery slag.
Now you can get a degree in Solitare!

to coincide with the entry of compatible disc players
Is the player called "The PS3"? If so, then they should be able to sell a lot of them. Otherwise, it will be a mere trickle.
