Actually, L. Ron Hubbard *is* laughing his ass off, because as you are probably very well aware of, he never actually died but merely advanced to a higher state of being.
... That computers had been in 3D all along, and now it turns out that I have been using 2D computers all along and that only the Acer Aspire 5738PG is in 3D ! Go Figure....
I *was* replying to the 'INSTALLING YOUR N****R' post, just hit the 'parent' button below my initial post to verify. Oh well, nevermind, mod this minus 1 offtopic as well...
This a-hole has been posting the same denigrative and racial post multiple times now, think that maybe it's about time we should consider banning this person/account from slashdot by now ?
No, fake as in the blog that posted it photoshopped the original ad as ran in magazines. As in this article is a hit piece. RL did not photoshop it, whoever submitted it to photoshop disasters photoshopped it as an attack on Ralph Lauren. That's not fair use.
Thank you very much for clarifying that for me. And I am inclined to agree with you that in such a case, it is *not* fair use... But then again, such pieces *may* sometimes be meant as 'satire', in which case it *would* be fair use in my opinion. It's a fine line, though...
No, this is dangerous. Very Stasi-like. This is a disturbing trend in official and informal law-enforcement because it encourages things like community-based harassment. People will band together and participate in government-sanctioned stalking of atheists, commies, homosexuals, or whomever else they just don't like.
It is simply turning the people against each other to distract them from their discontent with their government.
Yeah, you're unfortunately, but probably, very right. Seems that I'm not as cynical as is required by today's world. Thanks for taking me down to earth again and clearing my head.
(I would mod the parent up if I was able to mod)
But we *can* afford prizes up to £1,000 for public citizens that are effectively doing police work ? This world is getting way too weird for me... Or perhaps im just getting old:)
Well, of course the photo is fake, I mean no real living person has body dimensions like *that*. I was merely wondering if the modified photo was an actual advertisement by Ralph Lauren or not.
You actually mean that this misformed picture was used in an actual published advertisement by Ralph Lauren, and is not a 'mock-up' made up by a third party to criticize the industry ? What a fuck-up by Ralph Lauren...
The case of Kevin Mitnick, who was initially restricted from using any sort of communications technology whatsoever (no computer access at all, no mobile phone, etc.), other than a landline telephone...
Everything that comes into a black hole comes back out eventually via Hawking Radiation.
Ah, so my initial pre-conception that *nothing* can come out of a black hole is outdated or simply dead wrong: 'Hawking Radiation' comes out of a black hole, being the source of the entropy. Thank you very much for clearing that up for me, I would mod you up if I had mod points left.
Slashdot Mirror
The court found that the organization is legal, not that it's a legal church.
Ah. A fine distinction to make indeed. Thanks for clearing that up.
As far as I understand, this case wasn't about getting religious recognition
Yeah, well, close enough... From The Fine Article :
the judges did not ban the church entirely, as the prosecution had demanded, saying that a change in the law prevented such an action for fraud.
I'm sure L. Ron would laugh his ass off

Blast them from outer orbit. It's the only way to be sure...
... The court also decided that the Scientology Sect^H^H^H^H Church is a 'legal' church, that should be allowed instead of banned in France.
Outlook Express never used PST files
Sorry, My Bad...
What is .pst used for exactly?
The 'PST' or 'Personal STore' file contains the Outlook/Outlook Express Message Mail Box.
and the return of the great god Quetzalcoatl and the consequent destruction of all life on earth.
Actually, Quetzalcoatl is the Aztec version of the 'feathered serpent deity'. In the Maya area he was known as Kukulcan or Ququmatz.
Duh. Move along, nothing to see here, news at eleven.
Just out of curiosity, what jurisdiction do the dutch have?
They have the authority to determine what happens over in Holland.
What more authority does the Dutch court have than I?
Thay have the authority to determine what happens over in Holland.
But Im holding out for the first fully holographic laptop myself.

This isn't a government project, it's a private company that has decided to try a new and stupid business model.
Wow, I totally missed that in the article, thanks for clearing that up for me.

I wonder who's snooping on the snoopers?

That _was_ the theory, Hawking messed that up with Hawking Radiation though, sorry.
Thanks for pointing that out, like one of the other posters. Apparently, my pre-conception of black holes was outdated or simply dead wrong.
