such as saying the Starr Report would be illegal under COPA, despite the fact that it was quite clearly exempted under the "serious political interest" clause
It wasn't the report itself that had people up in arms, it was the accompanying image of Kenneth Star sporting a chubby while he typed it that really bothered people. Describing Lewinsky as "sultry" and "no better than she should be" didn't help his cause, IMHO.
I also have no problem with pointing out the hypocrisy of those who complain that others don't do enough to help, when almost certainly they themselves could do more to help.
The millionaire turns to the bum and says "well, you're not doing anything either."
Find your nearest garden supply store that carries hydroponic gear. Now find the scruffiest employee therein. He'd be a great source of info on setting up ventilation systems in small rooms.
dotProject is pretty good. Allows you to filter the display of entries, and if you'd combine that with a few user accounts that have access to each other's stuff it'd probably do the trick.
Computer-based interruptions fall into a sort of Heisenbergian uncertainty trap: it is difficult to know whether an e-mail message is worth interrupting your work for unless you open and read it
What makes this even more frustrating is that, to follow the analogy, somebody has already peeked into the box but just decides to label it 'cat'.
I'd say that there's a difference between jokes that rely on an assumed physical difference (low intelligence, skin color, etc.) and those that rely on an assumed deficit of character (cowardly, headstrong, etc). One type reinforces our superior racial characteristics while the other reinforces our superior social structure and mores.
Q: "How many Americans does it take to change a lightbulb?" A: "Who knows? They quit halfway through."
Face it, you don't make jokes at someone's expense if you feel they're beneath you. You do it to cut them down to your size. French = surrender jokes make us look small.
Seriously... sit down with the boss and tell him your concerns. If he's a decent person he'll do something to alleviate them. If he's a shifty fuck then you need to realize that getting credit for software is not your largest problem.
Experiments that he participated in included further investigation into how the human body deals with weightlessness and the possible causes to lower back pain and nausea, yet are these activities simply carried out so as to 'entertain' or is there real scientific purpose behind them?
I dunno, the submitter seems to think that you might be in for some pretty sadistic in-flight entertainment. Probably smarter to be able to pull your own weight.
oh wait... I do know. Because you have drunk the liberal MSM anti-FoxNews kool-aid and are busily jerking your knees in response to anything labeled "Fox News".
You can't really call The Daily Show "MSM" until it's carried by a major network.
Dang, they totally left out implications in school. Would have saved all the "Mr. SF, where is your WORK. You must show your WORK." Lectures by Mr. Pahal
Oh sure, you'd totally see groups of knights reading Chaucer at high volume while they slowly trot by on their pimped out stallions, the front hooves bouncing up and down in an effort to impress.
Slashdot is a large, well-visited site, with paid editors, and we're asked to believe that they're not capable of spotting stuff like this?
Because you must click and post? I don't get this whole "OMG its a dupe" fad that's come into being. Why do you care? Is this just the post-modern version of the "neither news for nerds, NOR stuff that matters!" troll? I guess I'd rather have that back, they were filtered out by mods.
Oh they got the moral, but for them it was "kill the goose and get the next egg faster."
I have to totally agree with the GP. This will drive me back to p2p and the used record stores. Actually, you know what? Fuck this. I like stealing from corporations. I'm tired of trying to do the right thing when I see the wrong thing being rewarded on a macro level every day. How the hell did we get shamed into being "good citizens" by these bastards? It's like listening to Tony Soprano give a "crime doesn't pay" speech.
Contact the owner (whois) and offer him $300 for it. Cheaper for you than getting the sharks involved, he makes a tiny profit, you both win. Don't try to take a moral stand on something like this. You're only on one leg as it is and there are plenty of real battles out there.

Can we please stop calling gamers althetes (or the execrable "cyber-athlete")? They're gamers. That's a good description.
If you're so dull that you actually need an analogy to understand what they're doing, you probably don't read anyhow.

Why is this on the front page of Slashdot...? I mean, I love FF7 like the rest of you, but this doesn't deserve the front page, I'm sorry.
It's fine, learn to play.
Or the Eddy Izzard version: "I like my women like I like my coffee - in a plastic cup"

Are you paying attention, AC? That's how it's done.
That was Schrodinger, dumbass, not Heisenberg.
How right you are. My bad.

I wonder if they make jokes about us in Vietnam.

I dunno, it'd be nice to see the govt. push some basic standards.
"And there fhalle be no portf open by default."
or something.

Can this be programmed into cheap telescopes for well known light sources?
Is this the answer to light pollution?
I'm guessing that the answer is "no" and "no", respectively, but I'd be interested to find out why not.
Ditto, and don't you just love the layout? Too bad they changed it later on...
(ok, i'm just going to do this once.... O RLY?)

Grinding lenses is a fun father-son hobby! Actually, it's a good son hobby while father has a cool beer (if I remember correctly =)
Not much detail on the interferometer... is it like umask for light?
