I noticed that Firefox / Mozilla was left out of the title list of insecure plugins. I'm certain this problem applies to it as well (particularly since it gets mentioned in the summary below). Innocent slip or ulterior motive of the anti-IE crowd?

To have (exactly) 99% of homes with 13 speakers placed incorrectly, you'd first need 100 homes with 13.1 surround sound. An unlikely possibility to be sure.
As it turns out, the largest population of black jews come from Ethiopia. Therefore, it's entirely reasonable that an Ethiopian wouldn't eat food that wasn't kosher.
The webpage says it has to spin between 6.9 and 12.1 times a minute to generate 5 megawatts +/- 15%. I know this doesn't answer the required wind speed question, but it seems relavent.
I have a AMD K6-2 processor and motherboard that sat in a paper grocery bag with several loose 9V batteries for an entire year. This bag was in the family room of my college apartment and I had nine roomates. Later I took the motherboard and processor and put it in a case . . . it still works. I'm currently using it as a webserver and it has been up for over 30 weeks straight. This is the truth. If you don't believe me, check out http://www.gearedsteel.com/ to see for yourself.
Tape Drives - Probably the cheapest way to store large amounts of information. The only drawback is that they aren't fast. However, If your harddrives are large enough to hold the data you are currently working on and tapes are used exclusively for backup then a speed problem shouldn't be . . . a problem.
There were three pigeons, so shouldn't we divide the 2.27Mbps by three? Or at least assume three seperate ADSL lines? Really, the bandwidth of a pigeon is 2.27/3=.756Mbps. That's very close to 768Kbps found in a lot of DSL packages. I'd say that your average pigeon has the same bandwidth as DSL. Interestingly enough, as technology increases both the ability to fit more memory in a pigeon ready device and bandwidth should increase. I wonder which will grow faster?
Why not use a Canadian proxy server that will let you download music from puretracks.com. There are lots of free, public proxy servers with Canadian ip addresses.
His pupil beat him in 2000. It cost Kasparov the title of world chapion. Althought he is still considered the best (and highest ranked) chess player. Search google next time before you make requrest in the thread. Often you'll find your answer easier and faster.
I am still using a Macintosh LCII running at a blistering 16MHz. It is still in the original configuration with the original 40MB harddrive. I use it at my small business to print up signs and tags for merchendise.
This could most certainly be the killer app for the new blue laser (maybe ultraviolet) DVD's. I figure they will both arrive at approximately the same time given the standard number of research setbacks. Now all we have to do is come out with a better cabiling system to keep all the home theater phreaks happy (oh yea, and support the transfer rate).
I wonder what percentage of games are rated mature now opposed to in the past? Perhaps the rating system is becoming increasingly strict and thereby artifically raising the number of mature games used by gamers.
Regardless of the amount of legislation put in place to stop spam, spam will persist. This is because it works. Spammers simply look at statistics. If 1 out of 1,000,000 spams gets a sale, then it is in the spammer's best interest to spam more people and therefore generate more sales. Spam will only stop if the consumer stops allowing it to be a finacially viable form of advertising. More should be done to inform the consumer, i.e. reciever of spam.
This policy would of course destroy anything like Project Gutenberg if such a project existed in Mexico. Kind of like killing the original open source, no?
While not quite up to IMAX standard, most college students can use lecture halls after hours for their own purposes. It's actually quite easy to do. I started by calling the Union and getting the central reservation office number for the university. I admit, it's not eight stories tall, but Quake is quite cool on 30ft screen too. Most major lecture halls have projectors with VGA and RCA in for both computers and game systems. Just a thought if you can't compete in the contest yourself.
Given the theoretical situation where I would not get into academic trouble for giving out my paper, I'd have no problem with sharing it so that other's could get A's. Especially when I would be able to use someone else's paper and get an A myself. That's open source. To me it sounds great, share my work and end up doing less work overall with greater benefit (all A's). Perhaps the musicians, who must appreciate other's music as well, need to see that if they share theirs [music], they get much more in return [the rest of the world's music].

The DVD format does not come in high-def. At the very most, they are referring to 480P which might be termed enhanced-def at best.
If that was the case, the entire population of Slashdot readers would still have to be inoculated by their doctor.

How long before someone mentioned 640K?

Get a full tower case. Let them try to steal that.

You already know what I'm going to say so I don't really need to post it. (The Irony)

For the record, Star Wars 4,5,6 is out on DVD. You just have to know where to look.

It was also Abbie Hoffman's favorite museum of all time according to his book, "Steal This Book."
