On the contrary, last night at a Fake Steve Jobs appearance/meetup in Los Angeles, Dan was recommending that everyone read Groklaw, that it was one of the best tech blogs out there. He even spelled out the URL for an audience member who hadn't heard of it.
For my Firefox extension, Morning Coffee. It helps you organize those daily sites so the ones that update sporadically can be viewed at the right intervals.

Panda3D is pretty decent if you're using Windows (it supposedly runs on Linux and Mac OS X with increasing levels of difficulty). It supports shaders and other such fun things if you're into that, and has Python scripting, which is always fun.
On my Mac I use BBEdit almost exclusively now for note-taking and the occasional creative writing I do. It's perfectly suited (and in fact designed) for coding, but it's stability, speed, and simplicity make it ideal for any task.
Now I only fire up Word when professors insist on pretty formatting for my assignments. As I take more and more CS classes, this is less of an issue.
Also salient, from the friggin' Declaration of Independence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
So, yeah. Mr. Jefferson (I go to the University of Virginia, where he's mentioned as if he was in the next room) was all about overthrowing an unjust government.
Can we see a link to the old shirt? I wasn't even aware there was an official slashdot shirt.
That will also let potential designers see what's been done already.
It's "significant" (or at least notable) because there was speculation that they would be marketed as the PowerMac 970 as Apple tried to separate itself from the perceived slowness of the G4.
It's a case of six of one and a half-dozen of the other, but you'd be surprised how many people would get up in arms over it.
It's a Japanese variation on pinball, used as a form of automated gambling. It was huge in Japan in the 70's/80's, and still big today, though less so.
If I recall correctly, Nintendo's foray into video games grew out of their interests in pachinko.
All a Wizard does is increase the success of "usability trials;" it does not actually make the system more usable. I could just regurgitate a bunch of information, but Joel Spolsky wrote an excellent book called User Interface Design for Programmers. It's a good read, if a bit overpriced. Check it out at your local library, or just go to a bookstore and sit down to read it. That might violate the DMCA, however.
I'll never understand people's anti-AOL views, especially the particularly vitriolic ones on/.
AOL may purchase other companies, but they obtained their supremacy and financial advantage much more honestly than Microsoft. I think a lot of the hatred stems from dislike of their product, which I could understand. Slashdotters especially see it as a neutered version of the internet, and as a tool that lets newbies post to our precious, otherwise undefiled newsgroups.
I think attacking AOL is more of a kneejerk response to any large company, rather than a view based on actual problems with their practices. How many of us cut our teeth using AOL?
Besides, I don't see AOL's influence as being as pervasive as Microsoft's. They only control access to the internet, and there are literally hundreds of other options that many people use.

The answers are all right here.
Isaac Asimov's favorite story that he wrote. Beautiful.
And here I thought all the methane was around Uranus....

I for one welcome our new robot overlords!

Karma whoring.... Link to the article.
In Soviet Russia, that design would incorporate YOU!

Are you sure you didn't mean to say "DAMN DIRTY APES!"?
