only on slashdot do the basement dwellers let it be known that they think the vagina is located somewhere between a woman's breasts. Only on Slashdot does someone mistake a Y for a vagina...
"Actually, modern technology can detect the magnetic fields that your firing neurons produce right now. This is where you get all those images of "brain activity" that you see. It is very much a non-invasive and passive technology, and could, theoretically, be carried out remotely." I hadn't heard of this. I have heard of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, which is able to detect blood flow to different parts of your brain.
But that's a far cry from detecting the firing of neurons via magnetic fields...
Actually I don't see why Nike couldn't afford to pay the people who make Nike shoes US minimum wage. It's not like they pass the savings along to their customers, that's for sure. You say that as though profit wasn't the purpose (and chief motivation) of business.
File under "Poor use of the term "oligopoly.'" There are plenty of independent TV broadcasters. Not so many independent cable providers, satellite TV operators or broadband ISPs.
You can safely wear the spandex, because if YOUR decision was vetoed by someone else and you let it go, there is obviously no balls to show through the tight bike shorts. She's old, her heart's frail, and I'd rather not lead her to a heart attack. You can talk about someone else's balls when you're willing to sacrifice a family member for the sake of your own.
The insurance industry would love that as well. When I bought a Progressive policy a few weeks ago, I was asked if I wanted to have one installed. Considering my total daily commute is 6 miles, it would certainly save me a lot of money...But I didn't like the privacy aspect./I would love to ride a bike to work instead of a car, but that option vetoed by someone else.
The concept has been documented in the printed works, i.e. the ST:TNG novels (and in far greater detail than in the TV series, I might ad.). In short, nobody can patent the generic idea of head-mounted optics that aid in human sight. Specific implementations? Maybe.
There is precedent. Heinlein's description of a water bed (In Stranger in a Strange Land, I think. Depends on if his Waldo book came out earlier.) led to the invalidation of a later patent taken out on the real deal.
You get full resizing (of both text and images) with single buttons (plus and minus, no modifiers needed). I found that feature handy, once I found it at all. Problem is, Opera didn't support resizing menus and toolbars to match my GNOME session's 109 dpi. (1280x1024 109 dpi is comfortable from five feet away...which is how far away my head was after I laid down comfortably on the couch.)
So, Opera was able to resize the content it displayed, but not the application itself.
...and while we dealt with abuse cases I couldn't tell you what the caps are. That's slightly vague. Is it because you didn't know, or because you weren't allowed to?
A fact totally lost in the teaching of American histroy within the United States. It's skipped over in K-12 education, but is covered in PS101, which was a gen-ed requirement where I got my Associates degree.
Food for thought: where are most Big 3 cars assembled? Try somewhere other than the USA. I hadn't heard this. However, I happen to know that my parents' Hyundai Sonata was manufactured in Alabama.
Bruce Simpson got in trouble ages ago for building a rocket that adaptively kept a cart level. After someone in the US government was quoted as describing his activities as "unhelpful", the New Zealand government stepped in with some financial crap to close down his hobby.
Meh...Comments like that one have been posted by ACs for as long as I've been on Slashdot. They get modded down to where nobody sees them, including indexing bots. Also, if you look at some of the oldest archived Slashdot stories, lower-rated comments (including Score:1 comments) aren't there, period.

On my family's BBS, typing "grin" in most chatroom environments would tell others, "So-and-so is grinning widely."

Still up after all these years...

I don't believe it was mentioned in TOS. However, 1970s scifi books used it. (Notably The Mote in God's Eye).

Nah, not worth the time. Has anyone actually timed how long it takes for the TV Guide channel to loop?

I thought that webserver looked poorly configured...

The patent was linked to from TFS. You didn't read it?
It would seem to me that IMDB had this down ages ago. I seem to recall reading somewhere that it was originally an email-accessed database.

"Connection Reset By Peer" almost makes it, but requires a communications path between you and the machine you were connecting to.
Flash 9 runs fine on both my laptop (running Xubuntu) and desktop (running Ubuntu).
Sure, it's not Open Source, but you can't have everything.
And demand mental health medical coverage...
I noticed an option for uploading MP3s. I didn't try it, though. Maybe I'll transcode some of my favorite module-format songs.
