As i have wondered once before,why cant we register with NY times with a fake id/email add/various other stats?We are already logged into/. with (mostly)our contact details available to all and sundry.
Refusing to register with NY and posting various ways around that is just churlish and childish.
For all its troubles in the recent past the NY times is still a VERY impartial,interesting,original and mostly correct source of information,if only because its not owned by Murdoch.
Since we are discussing BT,i am sure people are aware that Over the last 2-3 months we have had a price war going on.Even though the rates have crawled to 20 a month and under,a closer reading of the smallprint revelas most of these are either restricted on speed or have monthly download limits and sometimes both.
what is the situation in worldwide,as in US,Canada,Japan,S Korea and Europe.What are the usual charges per month and how good is the service?
and i find cooking for myself and my brother a very wonderful way to relax.It takes an Hour at the most and all my tiredness at the day's work is gone.
Cooking doesnt take too much time.Cook up a large batch of pasta sauce and deep freeze it.A 3 star(-18 C) freezer will keep it for 3 months.Everyday take a bit out and voila dinner's ready before you know.
Infact cooking is almost therapeautic when it comes to relive the tension of demaning work.
Absolutely appalling.Like all posts on/. the author couldnt be bothered to check his facts and the idiot moderators who modded this as informative didnt bother to check whether this information was correct ot not.
Prisoners of war must at all times be humanely treated.
Article 17
No physical or mental torture, nor any other form of coercion, may be inflicted on prisoners of war to secure from them information of any kind whatever. Prisoners of war who refuse to answer may not be threatened, insulted, or exposed to any unpleasant or disadvantageous treatment of any kind.
*Threat* of beatings -- OK.
Article 14
Prisoners of war are entitled in all circumstances to respect for their persons
Prisoners of war shall retain the full civil capacity which they enjoyed at the time of their capture.
Witholding pain medication -- OK.
Article 15
The Power detaining prisoners of war shall be bound to provide free of charge for their maintenance and for the medical attention required by their state of health.
Loud music -- OK.

Please do read the Geneva Conventions and you will be surpised how restrictive it is in regards to POW's.and please people can we be bothered to check up on our facts before we start espousing them as true.These are issues literally of life and death.
This is why we outsource to India. Less government regulation, fewer worker protection laws, fewer environmental regulations... I mean, are we to enforce our minimum wage laws on India? No
What makes you think so?Gov regulations regarding workers are strickest in INDIA than any of the NAFTA or EU countries.Once hired any indian worker is unsackable till the union gives the green light.
Its the American worker who has less job protection and fewer laws protecting their rights.Here in UK they tried to force firefighters to accept new equipment,last week,and they walked off because their new pay wasnt in place.No,they werent fired, instead the employers are showing signs of backing down.
Dont assume that just because you live in US you are somehow better off Law wise.Come and live in EU for a while and you will discover how you are nothing but an indentured serf for american corporates.
Alan invented Enigma, a machine to decode encrypted messages from the Germans
The Germans used the Enigma to encrypt messages and it was a polish mathematician, Marian Rejewski,who worked out the first attack on the Enigma cipher.He actually designed a machine to automate the process of figuring out the scrambler setting,which is known as a Bombe.Turing refined and improved these machines but he wasnt,by any stretch of imagination,the originator of cracking up Enigma.
I think you make a very interesting point abt excess space launch capability/capacity and the development of national launch vehicles by countries such as Japan,India,China,Brazil etc.
Even though commercially this market is saturated,Launch Vehicles are strategic assets and no country likes to depend on another to launch their satellites.
If you consider another case,their is a very large excess of armed forces around the world who mostly sit around doing nothing but we dont see any country outsourcing them.
I have always been a bit annoyed about the relatively high prices we pay here in UK for electronics.Can any/.ers from UK share any cheaper ways to get our electronics.
I am sure there are websites that ship to UK with reasonable prices and i personally would be willing to go to the continent if worth it.
I live in America, and I'm not sure the rest of the world believes me when I say that the American people really don't want to run your country or own the world.
Its not the american people its the american Government just as it wasnt romans but the ROMAN EMPIRE
The prime contender should be Arriva,a london bus company whose buses never arrive on time.
or our venerable Post Office who changed their name to Consignia from Royal Mail at a cost of 100 Million pounds only to change it back some 18 months later.
Not necessarily.Long Long time ago a newspaper decided that exit polls were enough for Dewey to trounce Truman.They werent.
While a wide difference between exit polls and the actual result would certainly raise an eyebrow or two it woundnt necesarily mean fraud.After all 4 days before the spanish general election the popular party was in the lead.

I have long wanted to rate stories as well.
I feel instead of having just the main page,there should be a main page,controlled by the/. editors (1) and a "public" page where all stories submitted get posted and are rated,just as comments are,by the logged in readers and not just moderators.But unlike scoring of a comment which is cumulative,stories should be mean scored.I mean if 86 out of 127 rate it as Level 3 thats what the story should be scored as.
So instead of seeing just the stories which caught the editors eyes we will see all the stories submitted by/. readers which is the way a reader interactive site should be.Slashdot has become what it is by involving its users very heavily.Its in benefit of all of us to increase the user participation.After all how many of us read the article a story is based on?
(1)Since/. does not at the moment not allowing submission bin to be controlled by users because "Slashdot is an eclectic mix of stories maintained by a small group of people, but contributed to by anyone who wants to. I think that the personality and character of Slashdot is part of the fun and charm of the site, and I think it would suck to lose it."Thats why it would help to have a main page which would be the gateway and reflect the editors and a tucked away page which would be a source to see something which may have missed the main page but still have been a good informative read.
California is the little kid who's parents never ever told him "no".
I am extremely annoyed by your sexist sentence.You have made me so angry i am hardly coherent.I am appalled by your non-feminine-acknowledging post.The sentence should read California is the little kid who's parents never ever told her "no".
Besides it was my Lady whose parents never ever said no to.
Personally,i think M$ will give in and provide compatibilty with rival streaming solutions and go easy on their version of DRM.Better to give in a little than to lose a lot and in this case they would rather have their media player on the desktop than off it.
But as one old man did say when asked to account for his intelligence "8 years of education and 60 years of learning".....Our education may or may not go up to a very high level but if we have initiative and curiosity we never stop learning.

This is what the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War has to say.For those short on time do atleast read Articles 13 till 20.
Sleep deprivation -- OK.
Prisoners of war must at all times be humanely treated.

On a related but off topic note which shops/websites do fellow /.ers in UK prefer for general electronics shopping?
I usually prefer Richer Sounds for run of the mill electronics.
As an interesting aside ,Dr. Porshe did design the Porshe-tiger which was rated the best Tank at that time,better than the T-34.
,IIRC,a truly huge 175 bore gun.
In fact,Alan Clark in his book Barbarossa-the russo-german conflict wrote that NATO didnt have an equivalent Tank till its 18th year of existance.
Infact Dr Porshe's dream tank was a monstrous 190 ton tank that would have carried
or we should try not to train these terrorists to become the threat they have become.After all Bin Laden was trained by the CIA.
In all seriousness, I'd love a chance to really try out a tazer, even if it involved getting mugged. Really. "Give me your--" *bzzt* *thud* "AWESOME!"
Except a mugging usually involves a gang of atleast 3 people who surround you and put a knife across your throat before you know what's happened.
