Well that will certainly make a nice change from Slashdot's usual calm, reasoned discussions.
Well, on the Windows vs. Linux discussion earlier (guy who switched for ten days story), did you notice that the discussion was intelligent, civil, and pretty moderate? I think that Slashdot has just gotten overfamiliar with every W/L argument and the discussions just go like chess games played by rote.
Now I'm just waiting for the same to happen to discussions of copyright law.
Go easy. I'm a soon-to-be physics graduate who's had a pretty solid understanding of physics and math, and until I got partway through high school the question nagged at me; I suspected it had to do with units, but the fact that a choice for velocity and mass units forced a choice of force units wasn't obvious. Don't go so hard on him.
Note: "A choice for velocity and mass units forced a choice of force units" is quite a phrase.
Our intervention helps them, our intervention hurts them. We are free to do what we want. For many people that is "helping there be more animals", or "mitigating our earlier and continuing impact" or "killing everything". Stop the counter-counter "x is natural" arguments.
All joking aside, have you noticed that there are more couples amoung your nerd friends than jock friends? Because I sort of took a census and realized that among people I knew the geek girls were doing geek guys at a remarkable rate, much higher than that among the average joe guys I knew.
the non stop media bombardment with the same video of her when she was a vegetable, over and over. It brings to mind the SouthPark episode where Kenny is a vegetable, and the lawyer lost the last page of his living will.
Huh, now that you mention it, they are kind of similar. I wonder if the creators were thinking about that.
I've noticed lately that adding extra terms to Google searches can generate MORE results, so obviously they're not returning every page containing those terms. It's good to know they've got a more complex search algorithm than simple regexp, but at the same time it means that you can't index database size by such simple assumptions about how they're searching.
And it may just take a bit of IE use to remind them why they need to get to mozilla.org after all.
What?
None of the target market here have tried Firefox. Are we honestly going after people who are frustrated with IE (but need to be reminded of it by using it), aware of Firefox, but just forgot to get it?
Are you saying "More people using IE is good because they'll get frustrated with it and turn to Firefox?"

Hmmm... Explain this "expanded to infinity" concept of which you speak.
Another joke. The whole first sentence was gibberish.

You fail to understand limits. While in finite terms what you say is correct, the difference when the terms are expanded to infinity drops to zero.
Okay, sorry, I wanted to just further provoke you, but the math major part of me can't bear to type that sentence without a disclaimer.
So yes, it's a joke. Some folk don't think it's funny. That's okay by me. Glad to see someone reading it, though.
the complainers themselves don't care that they themselves are committing acts of infringement themselves.
I copyrighted "themselves", and you owe me thousands of dollars.
Launch a crew on a small, reliable, inexpensive rocket.
You can only have two out of three.

I learned that as a way to remeber when Andrew Jackson became president.
(you don't have to initially remember either for it to be helpful for remembering both.)
Maybe her font's too small to tell the difference between the period and the decimal.
Also "bison".
Also "Painted cat".

Brings back memories, only mine was with a mountain lion, not a cougar.
Cougars and mountain lions are regional names for the same animal, Felix concolor. Also, "panther".

Because it wasn't a Warhol Worm.
My god carries a hammer. Your god died nailed to a tree. Any questions?
My god carries an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle. Your god is missing an eye. Any questions?
Yeah, I know; it's kind of rough growing up like this. But I try to deal with it, one day at a time.

Linux booted on device X, which, depending on the value of X, can either be crazy weird (a watch) or pretty boring (iPod drive).
Can anyone suggest an article in the format
"Booting Linux on a _______"
that would not be vaguely believable?
Give it time
It just isn't worth it nowadays to harass people with unwanted/ unwarranted emails.
If it's not worth it, they won't do it.
Fair enough.

Comments?

That's awfully silly.
