That's a really good point... Usually a lot of submitters can't spell or f**k up the link or don't tell all the story, and then, of course, the ACs come out of the woodwork.. Isn't Taco usually pretty good about not quoting the submitters? I know one of the editors is... But I don't see his stories on the mian page that often...
Because that's what editors do. They edit. They fix typographical and grammatical errors. A lot of them are paid a great deal of money to see rough drafts of potential bestselling novels. They make sure that as many little screwups are taken out of books as possible before the books are printed. Yeah, you still find the occasional one, because they're still human. But this is just shameful.
Who'd'a'thunk'it? I just checked out the gramophone.mp3 file the guy provided, that's great quality! Hardly any noise and it even picked up some pops and clicks near the end! Kudos to the programmer, it sounded like a vinyl source!
The lack of fan = the lack of ventilation. Maybe I should have made that a little more clear. Still, I'll take a blocky beige aluminum case (that I plan on modding that sh*t out of) that has good ventilation and is a little noisy over a cute sealed plastic one that's absolutely silent.
Hey, obligatory /and/ on-topic to the comment!

this is nothing that the G4 Cube hasn't been able to do... quieter (no fan)
Too bad a lot of G4 owners have reported case-cracking due to the lack of fan, eh?
Note to Steve Jobs' flunkies: If you're gonna tear the fan out of a computer, make sure the case isn't made of some flimsy shit! A badass beige aluminum case would have been much more appropriate for a G4 than most PCs; it can take the pressure a lot better.
You should give Harry Potter a chance. It's a fun book, with more than a few christian or nearly-christian themes, even if God is a bit absent. But if you refuse to give "Harry Potter" a chance because of its "witchcraft" themes, can you at least be consistent and stay away from Star Wars, Star Trek, American Gods, Babylon 5, everything Asimov wrote, and just about all the other avenues of Science Fiction ever written? They ALL have rather blatant anti-Christian messages, and are filled with blasphemy, aside from a very small minority.
I'm confused here. Mind explaining those "anti-Christian" messages held with Star Wars and Star Trek? Last time I checked, Star Trek was just a massive metaphor for today's world.
I remember that; I think it was something along the lines of the cockroach started figuring out what was going on when it started feeling things beside it that plainly weren't there. A cool idea, but you either have to eliminate all conflicting sources of information or directly interface with the motor neurons.
I hate to go offtopic here, but I wanna use my automatic point for being subscribed to point something out:
[I] have a friend who has ALS (Stephen Hawking's ailment)...
I know most of us are computer nerds, but how the FUCK does something like Lou Gehrig's "I feel like the luckiest man on the face of the earth" speech get forgotten? Matt Groening spoofed it. The one book that actually brought ALS to public attention (Tuesdays with Morrie, a very inspiring read) mentions it. Have we all forgotten ALS' common name, Lou Gehrig's Disease?!! Jesus FUCK!
When "someone" mentioned one radio station, they meant the station that isn't there; the one that all you hear is static. That s**t's plenty random, it's neutrino hits on your antenna, if i recall.
We have a number of those at the store I work for (Zehrs, if you live in Ontario or Qubec), but only for the self-scan lanes. I don't think, as someone else said, they're any more of a risk than a paper copy, but your particular retailer's behaviour is a little odd. If he's getting the paper copy, there's no need, in MasterCard/Visa/AMEX's opinion, to have the digital version as well. I say call the guy on it; the worst it'll do is make him think about it, right?
All right, you're officially The Most Helpful Person On Slashdot now.
I looked through all the documentation I could find; the only thing I found about charCodeAt() was that it use ISO-Latin.. But I think they also said they were JavaScript 1.2-specific.
Any idea what version of JavaScript IE6 emulates, and Mozilla actually uses?
A search on google for unicode and javascript brings back a lot positive looking results without actually delving into them.
Yeah, positive looking. That's the thing. Looks are exceedingly deceiving on a search engine. Try actually delving in; I can almost guarantee that it won't convert Unicode characters to their character codes.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh..... Right-o. Maybe I should have read a little more carefully, eh?

Ewwww, all right. That dude's fired.

Do /. editors actually edit? Probably not the first to notice, but it's spelt Vinyl. V-I-N-Y-L.
Not that hard, folks. Especially when you get it right in the headline.
Oh, my god, I've been using Apples for years, I have good reason, Duuuuuuuuuuude...

You found it amusing? I found it shameful. I just posted my own comment along the same lines, only significantly.... angrier. :-/
Duh, maybe cause he's trying the lighten the mood?
It's a fucking joke, dumbass.
Oh, and by the way -- no one survives ALS! It will kill the person; it's just a matter of time.

Just a little odd, if you ask me, to have to sign both a paper receipt and the digital pad.

Hilarious. It's called a typographic error. Your satire would have been perfect had you spelled "sentence" and "shortsighted" correctly.
Oh, okay... The way I've understood it for years was that JScript was a sorta-cheap knockoff of JavaScript.. D'oops!
If I were you, I'd not only use better grammar, but I'd identify myself. So somebody the results. Good for him. A lucky search.
Too bad there's no JavaScript topic, eh there chico?
Lick your own.

Yes, in fact, I have. Two NICs.
Besides, every Cisco router I've ever seen has been, well, distinctly obvious that it's a router and not a rack-sized computer.
