Contrary to popular belief, extreme inebriation makes effective speech-rec easier.
The speaker doesn't care so much about how accurately his utterances are rended when he's drunk enough.
Ugh. Obv-troll, but to combat FUD I would like to point out that there is, in fact, no violation here. Source need not accompany bins. A promise of source disclosure fulfills term 3 part (b) of the GPL. They don't even need to disclose the source until someone requests it, and then they don't need to make it available online -- they could ship it on CD or floppy if they were so inclined.
First off, it is already implemented in the Slashcode.
And second, using that functionality for that purpose is the Wrong Way. If somebody controversial snuffs it, I should be able to shout "Hurray!" from the rooftops even if you feel like staring at a blank computer screen for a couple of minutes. As such, if a moment of silence if justified it should fall to the mods to mod everyone down who posts before a suitably reverent pause -- OR YOU COULD JUST NOT CLICK THE LINK FOR A MINUTE OR TWO, AND YOU'D NEVER NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCE.:P
I'm actually not too sure what bothers you so much about this. DNS servers are, overall, very smart beasts. They know how much memory they're allowed to consume, and drop records from their cache to stay within their limits, based on certain criteria -- primarily 1. the frequency they are requested and 2. Their TTL value (pull-date).
If a record isn't getting requested very often, it is more likely to drop out of cache. A few hundred extra bytes in one record may make another record more likely to fall off the cache earlier -- but that record would most likely have been infrequently accessed and stale verging on expired.
If the entries associated with a torrent aren't requested very often then they'll get bumped down and drop off too. If they are requested, then it's legit: DNS is connecting clients with servers like it is supposed to, and all's right in the world.
It would take 7 years to change your eyecolor for instance because we rejuvenate ourselves every 7 years.
A small, but interesting nitpick: eye color is not built in to the cells, but is a result of enzymes. This is why dietary changes will change your eye color. Thus if you had a delivery mechanism for an in-place substitution of the relevant alleles your eyecolor would change very quickly.
But please, stick with colored contact lenses for now. Unless you can get me bright red glowing eyes....
Can anyone tell us what the Chinese symbols for "What not to do and how not to do it" are?
I'm not entirely sure how Slashdot handles unicode postings, but here's my best attempt to answer that question. Remember that Chinese ideograms can, of course, represent more than one English word. But my best translation is:
I remember the Weekly World News reporting on this matter. It turns out the whole thing was a plot by Castro, using trained attack-sharks to decrease our national morale.
But that aside, the shark attack rates were definately higher -- I know because I spent the summer SCUBA diving in Kailua-Kona. The exceptionally low rate of shark attacks overall means that it wasn't very statistically significant, but.. 01 was definately a bumper year for these...
...you're assuming you'd get a chance to breed? Pfft. You're already as EMF exposed as the rest of us -- throw in some transmission lines and you'll be sterile before you can find a partner.;)
They're definately fun to ride -- if there's a dealer in your area I'd heartily recommend you check it out, even if only on the New Mercedes Principle (I'd never buy this, but it's still fun to try it out...)
As to the barrier of entry, that's a matter of perception. All told a Segway does everything a car would do for me (I'm an urbanite, YMMV), and I'd expect to spend a rather large amount more on a new car than I would on a Segway. So given that (in my case) they're (almost) functionally equivalent, and one's a hell of a lot cheaper... *shrug* Even factoring in rental car costs, etc. the Segway is almost perfect for me -- if I could only link it into my longer commute.
Sure, my bike (after customization, mods, etc) is about a fifth of the price of a Segway, and is better exercise besides -- not to mention that it goes on the busses, I still wish I could just lean my way to the corner store and back when I want the second six-pack. Also, have you seen the hills in Seattle? You want to attack that on a bike? You're a brave soul!
robogun,
I live in Seattle and work in Redmond -- and I see them in operation more or less daily. I'd buy one myself if the bus system out here had accommodations for them, but until then I'm sticking with my bike.
For the record -- I didn't crash on my first Segway ride, and have never seen a crash except for one resulting from a passenger-side door opening close to the sidewalk. I'll admit it took me almost five minutes to get over my "beginner wobble", but after that it was rock solid.
Have you tried one yet? They're extra-special nifty.

Uhm. Duh. But remember, your moment of silence is as much an act of speech as my shouting, and /. need not provide you with that either.
This is silly. Last post, so feel free to mock me however you wish. :)

Or am I missing something?

Good evening,
I tried to convert "small houses" into "VW Bugs" but my unit conversion calculator app gave me an undefined error. Can anyone give me a pointer?
Thanks!
And I, for one, welcome our new neophyte coder overlords.

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. There are only two of us left, you know!
