Unfortunately it doesn't work in Chrome when loaded as an extension, I'm not sure what the issue is. Also you might want to update the include to be *beta.slashdot.org since they have implemented the sub-sites in the beta now.
Oh yeah and if you want to get rid of the right column crap in comments just write a rule to remove the width parameter from col-river pull-left for *.slashdot.org/story/, it makes the content 100% width and hides the right column.
Luckily the layout can be fixed with a few lines of greasemonkey script, just turn off max width on the split-right container, turn off the background images and turn off the max width on the col-river pull-left div and things look MUCH better. I commented on the first day of the beta that the whitespace was horrendous but apparently they don't care, luckily HTML and CSS are client side so we can decide how to render the page =)
Why does Austin have monopoly rules? I thought Texas was the land of the free market? My little piece of Democrat controlled Ohio has two cable companies, u-verse, multiple DSL providers (if you haven't gone u-verse yet), two fixed wireless providers, and Clear wireless as broadband options. Not many of those options are over 20Mbps, but honestly there's not a hell of a lot of content out there requiring that kind of bandwidth at this time.
Yep, Comcast were the ONLY ones who made sense when it came to throttling, they basically said during congestion the highest n% of users would get throttled to maintain QoS, if there was no congestion on the headend then no throttling and once a certain percentage of users on a headend were in the throttled category they would reconfigure the headend and backhauls to alleviate the congestion (basically use smaller segments so each user gets a bigger percentage of the total pipes capacity). This is how a reasonable engineer would design a throttling system and it met the business goal of delaying capital costs until it was truly needed. I've never been a Comcast customer so I can't comment on their customer service (or probable lack thereof) but as an outside observer their business practices seem extremely reasonable.
Actually, officially they can't. The last two generations of GPS birds do not have the circuitry needed for selective availability. And frankly given the number of consumer GPS units that have been used by the military in the field it would be kind of silly to turn it back on if they could.
Mothballing a nuclear plant shouldn't be an issue at all, many plants have stayed offline for a year or more due to regulatory problems, if they can be kept offline for one year I can't see why they can't be kept offline for 5 and be brought online in the same manner. It's not like the startup procedure cares how long its been since the last criticality event.
Nah, since peak output coincides with peak demand solar production means lower capital costs for peaking plants and grid upgrades, smart utilities will be all about residential solar generation.
Yep, I love em for camping, I wouldn't take em backpacking as they're a bit bulky, but for boyscout campouts they work well. That's actually my primary use but having a backup lighting source for power outages is a nice bonus =)
Yep, during hurricane Sandy my 13W solar panel was still putting out enough power to keep my pair of 3W light a life lamps going. They might "only" be equivalent to a 45W bulb but when the powers out and the house is mostly dark that's a lot.
If your systems are any good your ERP and CRM will be linked, often with a content management system thrown in as well. For instance you want to be able to look up your customers orders, invoices, etc when you're talking to them so those will get pulled from the content management system and you might want to be able to pull their current balance so you'll need to be able to talk to your ERP system. If all these systems are islands it's a LOT harder on the customer rep. The fact that most of these systems are web enabled today makes this integration fairly easy (certainly much easier than the old backend processes of syncing the data between systems and customizing each piece to fit your businesses mix of systems).
The 8GB NookHD is a better deal at $109 IMHO because it's got a significantly better screen. It's cheap enough that I'm seriously considering it now that they've added Playstore support despite the fact that I have a KindleHD, I figure I'll let the kids have the Kindle with FreeTime and keep the Nook for myself.
The problem with blocking people you don't like is that the spammers can create accounts faster than you can block them, that's where the wisdom of crowds comes in. Unfortunately as you mentioned it tends to reinforce group think too much, but so do most other moderation systems including peer review. Eventually most worthwhile ideas will bubble back up so it's not a complete disaster if they're lost for a time due to dismissal by the group.
There's not enough spectrum to replace the entire fleet of manned craft with drones, not to mention the fact that any enemy beyond cave dwellers will figure out how to jam the drones (ARM missiles only go so far to helping with the problem).
Silo'd is often a requirement because you'll have mutually exclusive dependencies, like we have one app that must have Acrobat in standalone mode because it uses a plugin that breaks in embedded mode and we have another app that embeds pdf's into the page where the workflow doesn't work if it's setup for standalone mode.
LOL, until MS licensing changes XenDesktop won't be a replacement for existing XenApp farms, plus XenApp is significantly more memory efficient than loading up an entire OS image for each user.
I've had both over the years, and both have bugs and issues, though the ATI driver folks are certainly more consistently stupid, and they're the only ones to leave me so ragefaced that I decided to buy a new card instead of deal with a bug (stupid card re-queried the GDI table from the monitor/tv at every boot and overrode the existing settings so even if you forced it to use 1080p if the monitor reported 640*480 it would reset to that every single boot), something not even the fine folks at 3dfx had managed to do.
There is no next house, this is the one I bought and I'll die in it or in the southern house I'm saving for as a winter residence. People who waste 10-15% transaction costs buying and selling houses amuse and befuddle me, if you're not going to stay put just rent.
200 work days a year, 10% is 20 and it's not like every single one is extended to 2 hours. Plus in calculating fitness to purpose you have to consider most likely worst case scenario. Even if it's one or two days over the 10 year ownership of the vehicle you still have to have enough juice to survive it, being stuck in a dead car in a blizzard isn't really an acceptable failure mode for me. Get me double the range in an affordable package and we start to look useful to me. Obviously if you're living in southern California where you're 10-15 miles from work and it's never cold enough to require the heater then it's easier to justify the Leaf, it just doesn't work in my situation.
Credit default swaps were a major cause of the domino like collapse of financial institutions in 2008 that required a government intervention of unprecedented size and scope. CDS's are a large part of the shadow banking system, they are black boxes to regulators who have no ability to regulate the market or ability to model the effects of problems in the market.
Yes, I'll jump right on incurring those 10-15% fees to sell and buy a house, plus pay more for a similar school district closer to my work, have way less land, and be farther from my parents and my inlaws just so I can save ~20-30 hours per year in commute time, not.

Dude, it's a freaking mailto: link, if your system is setup to use Outlook to handle mailto: it's nobodies fault but your own!

No, a free market demands the rule of law, without enforceable contracts there is no free market.

It's what I use when I misplace the wireless trackball for the HTPC.

Linux isn't supported in 5.5 anyways since they upped the flash version requirement to greater than the last version available for Linux.
