I was with my Dad and his dog and my Girlfriend at a rugby tournament this weekend. Every single woman that walked pass came up and started petting the dog. I told my girlfriend next year she wasn't invited and I was just going to bring the dog.
You sir are a dick. Mainly because you claim to have a girlfriend and then effectively tell her you're going to cheat on her to her face - unless that was in jest, in which case that was still a dickhead thing to do.
I doubt it was "paying honour" to the animal. If you spent a whole hell of a lot of time hunting a very large animal I would think you'd want to use every last bit of it too - especially if you could use it for something or eat it. I know I would, and it's got nothing to do with honouring the animal. Respect, maybe....
Why even remove the old data? Why not mark it as old and maintain snapshots like ZFS? Reallocate the "old" data when you need it, but maintain old data for backups...?
While the links provided in TFS are nice (and I mean that in the most banal of ways), I really wanted to see the cheap multi-touch displays and get more information about them as well as the first ever case mod - does anyone have links?
Where is that money going? It's already depreciated and I bet you can get the same specs in a year for a fourth the price. You think anyone is going to buy that computer for more than was paid? No, neither do I.
[...]I mean, just take a look at the current Honda Civic dashboard and compare it to a German car's dashboard. The Honda is all gadget-y and digital-y and the German car is just, well, Teutonic-ly svelte. Maybe the saying "there's no accounting for bad taste" doesn't ring true in Japan.
Reading the article, the "virus" requires the user to actually execute the desktop link in order to execute the malware. How do we protect a user from his own stupidity? Once burned twice shy I say.
I doubt it would be an issue if the artists got a small stipend for hosting their content on a server or for some other similar service, in order to get their art out more.
All us Canucks also wear Tim Hortons stuff abroad now. Anyone who doesn't is deemed american and subsequently mapled and beavered for impersonating a canadian. If you don't know what mapling and beavering is, be warned, you may be the next target.
How so? Other content is not blocked, from what I have read, it sounds like they're only going to put a levy up so that I can get my fellow canuckle head content easier.
This makes me think I might be able to get a better streaming version of CBC than they've got and I can watch all sorts of shows then. Currently, I don't have CBC even with rabbit ears and I miss it.
In either case, the nanny province/TERRITORY is telling me what I can and cannot watch. Whether it is the content,
There, I Canuckified that for you. It's now compliant with the Canadian Content laws.
Further Canuckified for those freezing their asses off even more than most of the rest of Canada - I Salute you, those in the frozen north, from my vantage on a sunny island down south!
Everyone needs to take a deep breath and see how things proceed over the next year or two.
That is precisely the opposite thing you should be doing right now. This sort of "take it slowly" idea doesn't work anymore with the age of the internet. A government needs to act and react fast and concisely. Frankly when I heard Obama was going to make this website I just about jizzed in my pants. Why can't we have something like this in Canada? I would love to see where my tax dollars are being spent! Yeah, I can request that information but they're going to give it to me in a ridiculously boring document that even an accountant could barely read.
Also the very fact that they've made a website in order to communicate tax spending with the people makes this government fundamentally different from the others already.
- They require thousands of miles of new power lines to be built. Getting power lines approved and built is monumentally expensive (which is why Mr. Pickens wants the tax payers to pay for them instead of building them himself).
I was under the impression we could just slap some solar panels on our house and take ourselves either off the grid or contribute back into it? How does that imply thousands of miles of new power lines? Now imagine _everyone_ doing it. Clean energy, plentiful, cooperation amongst neighbours - that sounds pretty good to me.
[...]nor does the sun shine all the time.[...]
Whnuh..?? The sun is constantly barraging us with energy! It doesn't just blink out. Do you mean clouds? There is still energy getting through - maybe not as much but it's still there;)
I know eh? This is soooo awesome! I can't wait for the thought police - this will make everyone WAAYY more relaxed and comfortable - and all the people that have dirty thoughts will be "cleaned"!!!
Actually, R'Lyeh is supposed to be somewhere in the Pacific ocean: Source. Also, according to the article summary at least, they were checking for potential sources somewhere off the coast of Houston, TX, which would mean the Gulf of Mexico, attached to the Atlantic. This was likely nothing more than a star-spawn.
On this case, they seem to have landed a professional criminal who makes it a business to record movies and sell them for distribution, in which case jail time is not out of the question.
Frankly, jailtime for something like this is preposterous. Maybe fines and monetary remunerations, but jailtime? What the fuck man - that should be reserved for the truly heinous crimes, like murder or rape! Jail is a place we put people who impact the public good to the point where leaving them in the public for rehabilitation would do the public more harm - jail is not for punishing copyright infringement.
As a corollary, don't work from home, they will come to expect you to work from home at a moment's notice. I mean, you may like work, but no one likes to work all the time.

I don't know, I was watching an english documentary the other day called "The Office" - I don't think they have a very good manager.
This makes me hate ads even more. I am so glad I use adblock plus right now.
You mean you posted after doing research to back up your statements? Am I still on slashdot?

Seriously? Ever hear of a door? Or maybe... I dunno... training your cat? Contrary to popular belief you can train your cat.
Oh wow. I had completely forgotten about night.. Talk about sleep deprivation.

As a true Canadian, you would have known to say:

"As a canuck, let me say these hosers need to Piss off eh!"
Just doing my part to help spread stereotypes.

Are those further list elements supposed to make you less appealing to slashdotters? Because I doubt the that's worked.

And just for the record, a "small hole" is a low-level project, such as an operating system
I don't think any operating system qualifies as a "small hole".
