Arrgh! I can't stand the wait! We hit 0.9.9 and I thought, "GREAT! Next time I see Mozilla on/. it will be 1.0!!!!!!". Several Mozilla stories later I see this 1.0 story! Branch closed... Does that mean it's ready? No Moz! Now another 1.0 story with no Mozilla!! I want my browser! STOP TORTURING US!!!!!
And i fail to see how you can teach. Its hard as hell to learn in a lecture hall of 300, but 1000? thats insane.
If you actually want an active class discussion the limit is usually considered to be about 20 students. The fact is that I don't believe that there really is much of a difference between 50 or 300 or 1000. Once you reach a certain number it's just the prof/specialist lecturing. I don't notice any difference between my classes with 50 students and my classes with 150 and I doubt there would be a huge difference going upto 1000. The 6 hour point on the other hand I agree with, it would be necessary to have some significant breaks in that period for it to be effective.
several of its key program managers warned that underestimating Microsoft's ability to meet the computer security challenge might be as foolhardy as was misjudging its ability to turn itself into a dominant Internet player.
I thought they were the default security player. Don't the vast majority of hackers break into MS boxes already?
In its native form this element is deposited on computers all over the internet, is largely harmless and considered fairly trivial. However the presence a web site known as "slashdot" causes this element to ionize and it is than attracted to this site. This ion permeates quickly through broad band and rapidly builds up at this site creating a large positive charge. Often small web sites linked to this "slashdot" will serve as an outlet to these ions and they will accumulate on the smaler site until it reaches critical mass. At this point the web site collapses under the weight and the rate at which the ion transfers slows down noticeably, eventually the process is complete the ions will slowly migrate back to "slashdot". Invariably this process will repeat its destructive cycle indefinitely.
There's also Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD(which is essentially the same thing as OS X). I might be mistaken but what makes OS X anymore of a traditional Unix than any of these others I've suggested, or is he just mentioning OS X because it's well established in the desktop market.
Well Duh! If you don't have a net connection how are you supposed to post an "Ask Slashdot" question to figure out how to get out of the situation?!?
He's sure asking for it

Time Travel
·
· Score: 2
But Alan Guth, a physics professor at MIT who has studied the theory of time machines, says he isn't sure it's even theoretically possible to travel through time. As far as whether time travel is a possibility, he says: ''Definitely not within our lifetimes.''
Researchers from future read archives of ancient/. articles, stumble across this quote, than jump back in time and travel forward again just to spite him!
On that note this discussion seems be be shared between this this storyand this poll!, I don't know which one you origionally posted too but you have a comment in both!! (well at least until they fix the bug and then I'll by moderated into oblivion:)
obscure SF writers (Randall Garrett and Isaac Asimov)
Obscure?!? Asimov is one of the most famous science fiction writers of all time!! Unless of course SF reffered to Self Fondling writers, in that case I would have to agree that I hadn't heard of either of them referred to in that context before!
Overture's patent infringement suit comes amid widespread criticism of so-called business method patents--a relatively new class of invention recognized by the U.S. Patent Office and the courts that has led to a flood of filings laying claim to nuts and bolts Internet activities.
Unfortunatly the patent office doesn't seem to care and are accepting patents of what they know are business models.
"We've recently become aware that (Google is) infringing on our patent, and it's our policy to protect our intellectual property," said Overture spokesman Al Duncan.
Google in February said it would begin auctioning ad-sponsored links on its search-results pages
And they just realized now?!? Personally I think the fact that they waited over a month while letting Google use and integrate this "patented" idea and then without warning suddenly dropping this lawsuit on them shows a deliberate vendetta against Google and this suit should be thrown out on that basis alone.
Somehow I'm forced to wonder if this 13 inch bug isn't native to California. In order to be a species it needs something to mate with and if people havn't been seeing 13 inch bugs before I would think that other bugs might have the same problem. In other words this isn't a species from around here. I suspect this species probably originates from some jungle and this one just escaped from its cage. Either that or its the vangaurd of a massive Alien invasion and soon legions of these are going to overwhelming our species. Alien invasion or South American pet? Take your pick.
One interesting thing to note is that the DJ made one of the worst impersonations of Jean Chretien I have ever heard. Unless Bill has a very poor memory or didn't known the Prime Minister's voice I suspect he would have known from the get go that the person he was talking to wasn't legit and would have been thinking for a while how to respond to the joke.
Think of the possibilities, assuming that they couldn't tell if the chip was outside of your body you'd have the perfect alibi! What do you mean I wasn't at work honey? Just look at the chip records. Well Officer, as you can see from these records I was no where near the bank last night. Maybe you could just stick it on a rat like they did in total recall. The possibilities are endless!
reaching temperature hotter than the Sun... evidence of fusion.
From the APS, 'The possibility of a major discovery has been obscured by substandard experimental techniques.
What kind of experimental technique could account for that kind of error? Oops! Maybe maybe we shouldn't have set it up in a nuclear reactor that must be where the heat is coming from!!
Just think of all the poor/. newbies who just clicked on your highly rated link to see what it was! I never saw I would see a goatse.cx higher than -1.

Sorry forgot, 0.9.9+
I do, It rocks. I just keep thinking, If this still 0.9.x what the heck is 1.0 going to be like?

The problem is that the portable heater market is already fairly saturated.

And of course, there's OS X.

How many people are working on Linux?
Next thing you they're gonna be saying Mars is a Blue Planet!
