If you are too stupid to understand what the options are in the moderation, then DON'T FUCKING MODERATE!! There's a bunch of negative moderations here that are marked Redundant, like someone else made the same joke.
If you want to moderate something down, and don't want to worry about the reason, just use Overrated. Sure, it's the pussy way out, and isn't subject to M2, but at least it would make more sense than using a moderation option that isn't even remotely close to why the post needs modded down.
Mod this down as -1 Redundant too. I don't give a shit. I have Karma coming out my ass like this guy
I have no clue how to use Usenet newsgroups or IRC. On your next slow news day, could you post a question on your front page asking how? It might be good to post it a couple times throughout the next few days to be sure people see it.
Come on already. 2 stories on the frontpage in one day, and still no Icon/Topic for Google? It's slashdot's favorite search engine. Every time something new, different, interesting, pointless, etc. happens with Google, we get a story on it. If the freaking Matrix movie has its own topic/icon, why not Google?
While I agree that RealONE is pointless (and obnoxious, and a resource hog, and borderline spyware); the existance of the other packages just proves the point. What would happen if RealONE was the ONE and only media player? You'd have to sell your firstborn to Real just to watch a video on your computer. You'd probably have to let the software phone home whenever it wanted to.
This is the exact reason that choice is a good thing. And, with the software being open source, there's no legal reason that if the Mplayer developers develop some great feature, that the Xine developers can't analyze it and add the same feature to Xine or vice versa. In this case, re-inventing the wheel (which isn't actually what's happening) causes variations in design, features, etc. that create innovation.
Two applications that do the exact same thing. Most sane people would see that as pointless and redundant. It's a waste of resources.
So, by this logic, the availability of RealONE, Quicktime, Windows Media Player, MusicMatch, Winamp, etc. is pointless and redundant. After all, they all play video files.
By extension, it's also pointless to have Windows Movie Maker, Adobe Premier, MGI Videowave, etc. since they all produce video files.
Maybe we need to reconsider why there exists more than one project to fill a need?
The FORM element acts as a container for controls. It specifies:
* The layout of the form (given by the contents of the element). * The program that will handle the completed and submitted form (the action attribute). The receiving program must be able to parse name/value pairs in order to make use of them. * The method by which user data will be sent to the server (the method attribute). * A character encoding that must be accepted by the server in order to handle this form (the accept-charset attribute). User agents may advise the user of the value of the accept-charset attribute and/or restrict the user's ability to enter unrecognized characters.
A form can contain text and markup (paragraphs, lists, etc.) in addition to form controls.
Given that information, I would put the form outside the table element, since the table controls the layout of the form. Besides, shouldn't that be part of tidying up code?
My only guess about your post is that the link isn't anywhere near correct (probably a messed up copy/paste job). It's a situation where, as I've mentioned to other people, each moderation should have an equal and opposite moderation (e.g. +1 Funny, -1 Not Funny; +1 Informative, -1 Not Informative). Then, someone could mod the post down as Not Informative, because the link is wrong, rather than Troll or Flamebait, because, well, who knows.
Ok, if troll is "a provocative posting, designed to start a flame", then what is flamebait? Because, to me, it seems that your given definition for troll is more appropriate as a definition of flamebait.
It seems that troll and flamebait mean basically the same thing, and therefore we could eliminate one of those options from the moderation.
The way I see it, and the FAQ attempts to cover some of this: flamebait would be something like "You moron. How could you suggest Windows over Linux." A troll is more like "Linux sucks. Windows rules."
In other words, an attack against someone personally would be considered flamebait, while an attack on an ideal or product would be a troll. At least that's how I moderate them.
I believe this could be considered discrimination, and companies are required to keep all resumes they receive on file.
This page on EEOC regulations looks like a good place to start looking. From my quick glance over the page, it looks like age, gender, religion, and medical disability are about the only things that are protected under the EEOC. Everything else looks to be fair game.
Also, as it pertains to keeping resumes on file; that would only apply if you actually receive the resume. If the mail server simply drops it, or bounces it back, I would say that you haven't received it, therefore, you don't have to file it.
Wasn't this one of the problems in the dot-bomb? Haven't companies learned that it's better to be really good at one thing, and stay out of markets for which they are not suited, rather than be mediocre and lose money hand over fist? Not that I have a problem with companies trying to innovate, but I just wonder how wise this move is for them.

Yes, but what's your question?
Well, congrats. You are probably the oldest (by user ID #) user I've ever had comment on something I said. Tell me more about the good old days.
I'm sorry. Did you just imply that the editors ever read the articles? That must have been before I started reading this site.
Or, she could climb in goatse guy.
Maybe a small scale multi-colored "Google" would work just fine? It certainly wouldn't take much time to create.

You seem to forget the birth of Katherine Zeta-Jones. Mmmmmmm......
Well, from the W3C page on HTML 4.01

No direct experience, but a quick search came up with Creative's official open source site as well as (from that page) an extigy driver

Your hands or the CDs?
Wait. Shouldn't this be:
Without the update step, apt wouldn't know about the new packages.
Although, I suppose you could have the apt-get update step in a cron job.
Forget annoying teenager. Does it come with the hot asian or latina chicks that hang out at lowrider shows? If so, I'm there dude
You insensitive clod

Followed up by instant replay, for those "did he really just say what I think he said?" moments.
Where else would you feel ashamed to admit that you work?
Well, besides OSDN.
I was just wondering why SCO hasn't been sued under RICO. It's the same type of thing, isn't it?
Of course, what logically follows is:
Note the uncanny lack of a ??? step in this scheme.
