The 'work ethic' smokescreen has always baffled me. Americans work more days and longer hours than workers in any other developed nation. I guess if you're going to compare us to conscripted "employees" in third-world labor camps then, yes, our "work ethic" might be a little lower.
By the way, are the bottom-of-page MOTD's getting most and more surreal or what? Right now I'm getting "Did YOU find a DIGITAL WATCH in YOUR box of VELVEETA?". Didn't Slashdot use to have Knuth quotes and shit down there?
I think those are Zippy the Pinhead quotes? I'm pretty sure/. uses old motd files for that spot, so it's probably vintage 70's surrealia.
Just what are you suggesting we do about the problem with drug abuse and addiction?
Educate the population, get basic health care for everyone and alleviate the worst pressures of poverty. The answers to this problem have been known for decades if not longer, and are within easy reach for America. We simply lack the will to fix this.
You get an A+ for speed reading, but a D for comprehension. I know it's a lot of words, and words are hard to read

- some were 'still' anti, some had changed to pro!
What's interesting is that anecdotal evidence from some hick town in Eastern Bum-Fuck clearly shows us that teacher's unions are the root of all that is wrong with our educational system.

Which part of that sentence fragment spells doom for Microsoft's foray into this field?

Or you could simply download the cracked version and never have to worry about a constant stream of micropayments from your account, whether or not your software can phone home, or any of the other bullshit.
For all the flak they seem to catch, it's interesting to note that pirates want nothing but to make my life easier.
I've never understood the 'scotsman' analogy argument. There's a rule book set down for being a Christian, and it's pretty easy to see who plays by it and who doesn't. In fact, there's really just a take on the golden rule: "Love your neighbors as you love yourself". It's a pretty simple metric.

C'mon, this has to be a put-on. One man's life can't be this unintentionally funny.
I don't personally approve here unless there's more of a plan than hand outs for the cameras. The third world isn't a zoo, and unless the MIT people are going to go the full distance they shouldn't go period, as they'll cause more harm than good to the people they say they want to help.
Just like the tabloids criticizing celebrities for adopting third-world children. It's fine to question movitation, intent and commitment, but at the end of the day they've done something and you haven't. It's always the people on their asses that seem to worry most about a population's integrity.
You could also get rid of the developmentally disabled programs and plough that money into educating people who might help improve society. I'm not saying there shouldn't be some sort of daycare or burger-flipping training for the special needs set, I am saying that they shouldn't get nearly as much money as they do now. I honestly think their budget would be better applied to programs for gifted children, but the real question is why schools are required to provide for special needs children out of the same budget as the rest of the childrens (won't you think of them?)
Uh, an open AP is literally an invitation. Nobody is hacking your wirez, you are actually broadcasting the availability of a service. Another great example of getting pissed off at someone else because you didn't read the damn manual. It's a FIVE PAGE BOOKLET. It HAS PICTURES. They literally DREW A PICTURE FOR YOU.
Since you're not a professional sysadmin/webmaster/whathaveyou it's forgivable that you didn't know about the standard method for blocking search engines from indexing your site. It's not a hidden feature, it's not a hack, but it is a little obscure if you're outside the "art".
The news service's webmaster has no such excuse. This isn't a matter of intellectual property vs. the "electronic commons", it's a matter of incompetence vs. greed.

There's a difference between dissent and being wrong. Don't expect positive moderation for claiming that up is down.

Gary admitted the crimes, but tried to justify them with the age old crap of "curiosity".
You are truly a product of these times.

Hope that helped!
I think you'll find this to be a concise summary of the phenomenon.

Your scenario is a little off, since your oven can't walk out of the house and burn someone else's house down. Let's try a more realistic scenario.
You buy a new drive-by-wire car.
You can tell right there it's going to be a good analogy.
Is the fee you currently pay on blank CDs considered a license to burn whatever you want?

Find out when the term "conflict of interest" applies and when it doesn't, or you may embarrass yourself in front of a large audience some day.
He's headlining a Broadway play called Frank's Home. Might just be on a sabbatical though ;)

True, but the perpetrators violated her reasonable expectation not to be attacked by flying penises in that context.
Are you brand new to the internet or something?

Consider TVA's "Raccoon Mountain Pumped-Storage Plant" in Chattanooga
Am I the only person who pictured a giant pile of raccoons operating a hand-pump? Yes? Ok, never mind...
It's not an "is this the best software package for our company right now" issue, it's an "is this vendor likely to fuck us over in the future" issue.

It's people like you that block my internets from arriving on time.
