For example, it will prefetch a document from another host that the one you're browsing. In the FAQ they say that they don't see that as a security risk. But I really don't like the idea that I could be tricked into prefetching stuff I don't want by a simple HTML tag (goatse, copyrighted material and other illegal stuff).
Yes it can be disabled but not from the GUI preferences, so many people won't even notice it.
The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th.
So basically these guys made a website for ASP developers and expected Microsoft to be so thankful that they'll pay for it out of the greedyness of their hearts.
They were not even synchronized with the little pendulum breaks. That was so stupid you missed 5 minutes of dominos and then had to watch that damn pendulum for 5 other minutes. They tried to fill that time as best as they could but still it would have been much better to use the same breaks as the others.
Other than that, the show was amazing!
That's the best joke...

...I've heard in years. But if I try to tell it to people I know they'll just stare at me with "those eyes" (if you're a geek you probably know what that means).
My all-time favorite CYOA series: The lone wolf series is available for download with the authorization of the author here: http://www.lw-oasis.org/aon/.
You can try the excellent series of free books Light and Matter. It's an excellent overview of elementary physics.
Note: The "Simple Nature" textbook on the same site covers the same material as "Light And Matter" with a little more depth added. So it might be the choice of many slashdotters.
They want to tell you how to dress, when to sleep, when to work, when to eat and when to go to the bathroom. They'll make you think like they want you to think.
They want you to fear for your job. They want you to be a slave. And when they'll have succeeded, you won't even realize you are.
From what you're telling us, no one has asked you to stop wearing golf shirts. So what if the others don't? Are you so worried you're not gonna fit in that you have to wear the same type of clothes?
Be yourself and everything will be fine. Who knows maybe some other people will start wearing golf shirts too after a while.
Unfortunately too many people were using those for pirating and they are probably not taking risks now. They still sell the MBV2 cable so it's still possible to buy a GBA development solution from them. But the cable doesn't really replace the flashram:(
but what about the legal one? In Switzerland, it's now illegal to distribute (as in selling, *not* copying) a movie without the explicit consent of the copyright holder for Switzerland. It seems we no longer have the right to choose what movie we want to see but we'll have to accept the small selection that are officially distributed here.
I'm really not qualified to answer that since I've really no idea what it must be like. But since this is slashdot...
- language lessons: the tapes or CDs that come with language lessons start slowly and then gradually increase speed. And you'll get something that is well pronounced and free from noise. - Audio books: Buy some audio books and buy the printed books too. Then read along while listening to the tape. Be careful some audio books don't include the full text, so be sure to choose an unabridged version or it will be useless for reading along.
Audio books are going to be harder to follow than language lessons, but I have no idea of what you can currently do.
Well, where I work we had this crazy idea to translate everything to Klingon to try to make it to the slashdot front page (free advertisement). We never did it though:)
With all the MMORPGs in development, I think people are going to play more diverse games. And since, playing a MMORPG takes a lot of time, people aren't going to play more than 1 or 2 at a time. So either all those new MMORPGs aren't going to be popular or the current big ones are going to lose a lot of customers.

Is that prefetch thing such a good idea?
:)
For example, it will prefetch a document from another host that the one you're browsing. In the FAQ they say that they don't see that as a security risk.

Well I'm probably just being paranoid.
It really sucks that they changed most of the names. I hope the movie will have the original names back.
extinct because of humans. We really are the cancer of this planet.

See! It didn't happen. We are safe.
So basically these guys made a website for ASP developers and expected Microsoft to be so thankful that they'll pay for it out of the greedyness of their hearts.
Sure, that could have worked:)

...as a programmer, I'd like to be free too :)
You wouldn't happen to have GPS coordinates with that? You know... the DoD was really careless when they put their missile launch sites on the net :)

This apparently is the first time it's been this close since the Neanderthals.
So that's the best time for the martians to launch their invasion fleet?
How can these machines be called Amiga. They have nothing in common with the original Amiga and are just pretty standard and boring PPC machines.
You might as well put an Amiga sticker on your mac or PC...

Hmmm, some guy's wearing a crypto suit.
Well, those crypto t-shirts have been available for a long time. So I guess it was only a matter of time until they made a whole suit.

So that means that we'll finally get the Episode I without Jar-Jar Binks?
but what about the legal one?

They've already GPL'ed quake2. Did ID software do it to make money? I don't think so.
Pat Cadigan is a woman. She's a sci-fi writer and is often refered to as "The Queen Of Cyberpunk".
Linus has read too many cyberpunk novels! (well, at least according to this graph)
