Mandrake Cooker (rpmfind link here) tends to be right on top of all the latest software releases. They usually have an RPM within a week of a new release.
>So far, no president that we've had has "exercised" this "power" to it's full extent.
Nor will any president do that. If he ordered the military to attack the Capitol, the order would not be followed. The military are not robots, and the command and control system would not permit an unstable president to use the military as his personal army.
For example, during Nixon's last days as president, his senior staff let it be known privately that any orders coming out of the Oval Office should not be acted upon right away, but should be cleared with someone else first.
I cannot think of another case where con artists who used spam to con people were sent to jail over it. If you can think of such a case, post a link. Otherwise, shut up.
There's some sort of difference between Sponsors and Partners (which are what you're linking to). I don't know what kind of support Parters were giving him, but I understand it wasn't money.
As much as I like Tom, he's the most cuttable character in the book. He doesn't really fit --it's like he's teleported in from some other book. (In fact, Tolkien wrote a short story or Novella starring Tom, and I don't think it was set in Middle Earth.)
I remember seeing in my freshman year of high school (1979, if you must know) an ad in Scientific American for a calculator. A hand-held, mechanical calculator. It was about the size of your fist, and had a crank on the end. This was just before those cool four-bangers with the red LED displays came out.
Anyone remember the decaday, from SNL (back when it didn't suck)? SNL had a series of sketches mocking the metric system, like promoting the decabet (10 letters in the alphabet). The decaday is a 100-hour day. You'd spend thirty hours working, then sleep for twenty hours, and so on.
I didn't mean that there is probably no extraterrestrial intelligence, there almost certainly is. I just meant we're not likely to detect a signal from any of them.
Try running the folding@home client instead. That project produces actual, useful scientific results about protein folding. SETI is just an inefficient search through a million billion haystacks for a needle that probably is not there.
Remember what the Internet was like before the suits got to it? That's where we're headed again. The greedheads thought the Web was a Big Fat Golden Mountain, but it turned out there isn't much gold there after all. They will eventually go away. So what? There will still be plenty to see and do on the web, but it won't be VC-funded, subscription-funded, or advertising-funded. It will be grass-roots and hobbyist-powered, like the old days.
Patents can keep competitors out of the marketplace (resulting in higher prices for the innovator), can help a company increase its market share (since it has technology that its competitors can't copy), and can result in a stream of revenue if it is licensed. That's how.
1. Post a lame attempt at humor.
2. Watch it get modded up to 5:Funny.
For an extra fast ascention, bash Bill Gates and/or Windows.
Moderators, just because you find something slightly amusing is no reason to mod it up. And if you DO find something really funny, could you please look at where it's already at score-wise and ask yourself if it deserves to be higher?

> Firing Janet Reno is the first step.
Just wait till you tards get a gander at Ashcroft. He's a thousand times worse than Reno.
Just Say Duh(Bya)!
How many of these points are there? Well, there are 360 degrees of longitude and 180 degrees of latitude, 360 x 180 = 64,800.

No. Wrong. You don't know what you're talking about, and I AM a patent attorney.

Beowulf was written before the tenth century, I think. So it doesn't make the cut.

Would you Slashdot people learn how to spell, please?
That does it, I'm installing DOSEMU for sure. And does it run that 2D scroller with the biplanes, what was that called...
An AC tells me that the calculator I'm referring to is the CURTA calculator. Looks like some shweet high-tech stuff to me.

The Calendar Faq here has tons of cool information about calendars.

And it has a really small memory footprint compared to SETI@home.

And why did Triangle win?
I remember being a leafnode to a fidonet BBS. Ah, they had flame wars in those days! Scary that they're still around.

Are you absolutely SURE you don't want a picture of Queen Victoria?
