"Well I guess we know why the world is the way it is. Over a billion people on the planet, all walking away. If doing the right thing was easy then the world wouldn't be in the shape it's in presently. Well as the saying goes "Evil prospers when good men do nothing."
Well obviously you should help if someone is getting beaten up or mugged or stabbed or having a heart attack, etc. But let someone else fight the victimless crimes.
Everybody knows that as soon as you place yourself at the scene of a crime, you become a suspect. My friends and I learned this when we called the police after seeing some kids set fire to a pallet of cardboard boxes behind a Wal-Mart. Guess who got grilled the hardest? Yup.
You see something wrong? I'll tell you what you do. Walk away. It's either that, or get yourself involved and substantially raise the chances that something negative will happen to you.
"The price? Approximately 55.000 Danish kroner (8.000 Euro) each."
Wow. You know your currency is valuable when they have thousandths. But hey, 8 euros is a pretty good price for this. I'll wait till it comes down a bit more, tho.
"Shuster has a long list of pending patents, including one for pop-up audio ads that cannot be turned off.'"
Ever since I disabled JavaScript and Flash in my default settings, and only add the sites I approve to my Trusted Sites list, I haven't been getting any of this.
But... "The day after it's deployed, every legitimate mailing list on the planet will get challenges from all the Earthlink subscribers... " is a good point. It should be done slowly. Say, the first week only affects people whose address begins with 0. Next week, 1. Then 2, all the way through Z. Sure it will take almost 40 weeks. But it will be better that way. And we've gone longer than 40 weeks without this. What will another 40 hurt? I am SO there... This *IS* a service for which I'll gladly pay.
Hah. Of course not! Why, there are so many areas in which to get a degree these days. It's apparently only worthless if it's for computer science. But, I mean, what are the chances of that?
(whoa, weird colors. And ads that push the article down a full page at 1600x1200? Slashdot better be making killer dough.)
The first game that I remember that made an impact on me was the King's Quest series. Just a really imaginative game; made you think, immersed you in exploring and fantasy. It didn't hurt that I was around 7 at the time, the ol' formative years.
There are few games any more that inspire creative solutions. Most games are killing games or racing/competitive games. No more Zork, no more King's Quest.
Is this a cause of today's kids? Or merely a reflection?
I bet those Jihadists knew how easy it was to crash a plane. They might still be alive instead of being raped by Vincent Price in the 7th level of hades.
But anyways, instead of whining about the laptops, should we figure out how to isolate these instruments?

So, if it takes 6 seconds to go 3 miles, the sled went an average of 1,800MPH. Even when it went 1.8 miles in 1.3 seconds, that's 1.8/1.3*3600 = 4984.6MPH. So was the 6,400 MPH only for a split second towards the end of the run?
In any race/speed trial, the average speed will be significantly lower than the final speed. Extreme example. First speed:0, speed at target:1000. Average speed: 500.
Yes, it made a speed jump at the end. This was detailed in the article.
I've liked enterprise since the beginning. I think their problem is their trying to appeal to the wrong audience. I mean, WTF.. TNG never had to sink to all these hormonal sex lows to get ratings. That's fucking sad. Is this turning into Baywatch in Space? Make it challenging, smart, witty, and complex, and you'll get what you want. Make it paltry, thin, weak, and oversexed, and you'll get the demographic you deserve.
P.S. Is everyone else's Post Anonymously button missing? Or is it just me? Do I have to log out to post anon now?
I bet it won't work without javascript and macromedia.
My default IE settings are no javascript. If there's a site I want to use that needs it, I add that site to trusted sites.
As for flash, it's used for annoying ads that you potentially can't close or mute. No flash installed above what comes with IE, and I have that set to ask me first unless, again, they're in my trusted sites.
Try it. Between that and my ad-blocking hosts file, the web goes back to the good old days of reading content without being distracted. The only distractions I have any more are animated gifs, and the stop button/esc key stops those.
"Sounds like you're a Microsoft hater who just doesn't want to even give WMA a chance. It's a pretty good codec, but I still use MP3 @ 320kbps because it is more ubiquitous."
As I stated in a later post, I don't trust the W in WMA's "platform-independent" format any more than I trust the A in Apple's. The fact that WMAs are displacing true(r?) platform-independent codecs makes in closer to the forefront of my mind. When I start trying to find songs and they're more avaiable in apples' codec than ogg or MP3, they will also gain more of my train of thought.

"I'm sorry you hate it for political reasons"
As easy as it is to read my post and say that, which seems itself like a political knee-jerk, you should be able to see that it's not a political reason. Like you stated, it has DRM-out-the-ass implications, as well as the platform-proprietarity I *explicitly* mentioned. (What does the W stand for, smart guy?)
This also applies to the A in apple's format. These tards (W & A) should stick to making OS's. I and probably many others don't trust something as truly platform-independent when it has the name of an OS in its name.

The phrase is "would have."
"of" isn't a verb.
