TPHB: It has come to my attention that 40% of your sick days are on Fridays and Mondays. This is unacceptable. Asok: HA HA HA !!! THAT'S A GOOD ONE !!! Asok (to Dilbert): Please tell me he was kidding. Wally: Welcome to Hell, kid.
Neither do I, but your logic is not quite as funny:-)
If they are smart, in addition to a base station type thing, they'd have the ability to go corded as well. This would allow the controller to be powered by the base when batteries are low.
1. Procedural Background:
The Complaint was lodged with Nominet on 8 November 2004....
3. The Facts:
1. The Complainant is a company engaged in the retail sale of computer software and hardware including computer and video games through high street outlets under the mark and style GAME and online from the domain name game.net. It, and its predecessor in title Game Plc have been in business under the mark GAME since 1990.
From 1990 to 2004 is 14 years. Did these guys *just now* hear about "the internets"
"I don't care if it ref's a previous atricle, it's still enough of a dupe to not be on the front page."
Apparently, you didn't get the memo.
In an effort to quell the angry masses who insist on yelling "DUPE", Slashdot editors will prepend
"In a follow-up to yesterday's story," to every story.
This actually brings up an interesting point. Does Windows have less bugs (I know, I know) than these Linux distros? Or are Red Hat and Novell more proactive to fix the bugs they do have?
Actually, I think a more important question is, how significant of a security risk are the respective bugs?
The claim is that MS had less vulnerabilities than various Linux distros. Yet, I'd be willing to bet many of the Windows security holes are big enough to drive a truck through. Remote exploits and the like. If the Linux vulnerabilities were rather obscure and difficult to exploit (especiallly remotely), then the comparison is apple to oranges and clearly FUD (surprise surprise)
My light turns green (that street always turns green after the train, and I had a witness to back me up). So I go, and almost get T-Boned by the cadillac full of elderly men and women. They got all angry and rolled down the windows to yell at the "young-en."
A similar thing happened to me the other day.
I'm waiting at a red light to cross a busy intersection. Light to my right just turned red, so I'm waiting for mine to go green. First driver on my right has time to make a right on red, just before I start to enter the intersection. Of course the old person behind him thinks that since the car in front of him started moving, he has the right of way as well. Pulls *right* in front of me, without even glancing to see if I'm there.
Things I often witness - A granny will just drift to the other lane even if someone's next to her. No turn signal either
I notice this most often on the highway (merging from the entrance ramp, or changing lanes).
I call it the "close your eyes and hope for the best" method. Seems to work for them most of the time, since the alert drivers have to take evasive actions.

Hmmm, can't imagine how the racist stereotypes slipped past my 8 year old brain.

... invented a pnuemantic control device for electronic equipment called a Quadpuck. Basically it's a series of contact and pnuematic switches.

"That, and how about the proof reading proccess."
Did they have to oursource it to some h4x0rz?
"It doesn't even look like Microsoft can implement a simple "Yes/No" button in a reliable way... Geez"
Maybe Microsoft doesn't want feedback from 1337 |-|4x0rz that don't run IE

You could always go outside and talk to some girls.
What are these "girls" that you speak of?

Who came up with this idea... Energizer or Duracell?

Wouldn't have worked. Everyone knows the Sausage King of Chicago is a confirmed bachelor.
BTW, kudos on the reference. Apparently the mods didnt get it, but it made me laugh like hell. +5

Looks like it is having a minimal effect however.

Respond to satire with even better satire, and what do you get? A bunch of idiots explaining to *you* what satire is.
Either that or, best. troll. ever?

Any response from the time traveller?. Seems this job would be right up his alley.
For the want of a </i>, the joke was lost.
Or maybe Intel and Trent Reznor are trying to boost their popularity with a cross marketing campaign, and they really meant to trademark Pentium /VIV\
Isn't this the same Ken Kutaragi of Father of PlayStation Admits Sony Mistakes fame?
Looks like the Sony board of directors bitch-slapped him good after giving that interview. Glad to see he's back to his good old self again.
Not necessary. Perhaps I should clarify -- "Captain: What!"
Doesn't that page say all vulnerabilities are patch? :P
It merely says *known* vulnerabilities are patched. Besides, it was a joke. Laugh.
What?
Do people really need to stay in contact that often?
So do, but most just think they do.
If history is any guide, it's great for DoS and remote exploits too
Anyone tried the AYBABTU layout?
Yes, but I didn't like the fact that they took off every Z, I, and G.
