No access for me with Opera either (I get the "sorry IE user" screen). Is the site not just redirecting IE, it's redirecting ALL non-Firefox browsers? Lame.
ps. Yes I checked my "Identify As" setting first:P
The trouble is, big & rich is not inherantly evil... by pooling resources, if enough crooked people wanted a company taken down, they could all start separate cases on separate issues, and suck the company dry; terminal for any company smaller than of multinational-proportions, and even then, with enough people...
At least they had SOME course notes (rarely our years) online, on an archaic version of WebCT (bellugh)... just as long as you didn't upgrade to incompatible IE6 (which the University used)...
All it needs is a "keep formatting like you have been, don't suddenly decide to alter the paragraphing/indeting randomly!" button for when you hit enter and everything goes wrong.
Lucky for you guys. In my University department, complaining did nothing.. they all covered for each other, and didn't really care about us. The furthest we ever got with a complaint was having someone come and sit in on our 3rd year graphics lectures. At the end of the year, there were things on the exam the lecturer EXPLICITY TOLD US would not be on it. About 80% of the material he taught in lectures was never assessed (or intended to be) in any way, shape or form:-\
This is also the department (of Computer, Electronic and Electrical Engineering) who couldn't get their timetable on the goddam Internet.. every other department (fucking GEOGRAPHY!) managed to have their timetables available on the Internet, but our tech-savvy dept made us come in and read a notice board.
On the (plus?) side, apparantly the CS department had their stuff together; online timetables, due dates coordinated between lecturers, the ability to put resources on the Uni Intranet. Wish I'd done a degree there instead.
Any complaining we did went nowhere. If anything changed, it was because the lecturers decided to change.
I live in England - do thinkgeek do a solar panel that's powered by grey overcast clouds?

I just take my GBA SPs USB charger (gotta love lik-sang) everywhere with it- wherever you go is sure to have a USB port SOMEWHERE. (hell, someone always manages to take a laptop camping...)
MANY of those books are in the UK's "nation's favorite read" books- the BBC (our state-funded tv/radio network) is actively ENCOURAGING us to read things like Huck Finn, Harry Potter, The Handmaid's Tale, Of Mice and Men etc (with good reason, I might add)
Hmm, I was thinking about this earlier.. does anyone actually have any statistics for how much server transfer badwidth was saved by distributing a popular file (latest anime release or something) over BitTorrent? How much does it actually help?
Ok, it's bad enough that we have to have to wade through pages of unbalanced MS-bashing every time an Open Source or new technologies article gets posted, but now we have to make up topics just to get the frenzy going? Sheesh.
Ugh, there have been far far far too many MS-bashing linux-is-so-great posts on/. recently... yes, Windows may have flaws, but it has good points too people. At least pretend to present a balanced view, lest the Linux community comes to be seen as the mad fanatics Mac users are.
It turns people off Macs, and it can do the same for Linux.
Sorry, I can't help but do it.. so many submitters obviously invest thought in the spelling and grammar of their submission (well, except Taco:P), but can never remember that "Internet" is a proper noun! If we can't get this right, who will?
Is anyone else having this problem? My primary display is a 21" Sun monitor (mods: -1 using unix monitor on windows box) with a 15" CRT and a 15" LCD as the secondary and tertiary.. as you might guess, the sun monitor runs at a bit of a higher resoultion (1280x1024 vs 1024x768 on the others).
I keep my task bar over on the left monitor (low res), but whenever I call the start menu up, it's too large to fit comfortably on the small screen- windows is sizing the start menu for my primary monitor, not the one the taskbar is actually located on.
Is this a lesser known bug? Or am I missing some super-secret obscure option to change my start menu so it doesn't extend off the bottom of the screen with no scroll option? (Yes, ha-ha, I should delete some programs, have a +1 funny)

Genius. This is my new defence. :D
Less time wasted on google searching down the examples I need to check.. someone is my new hero.

Who will watch that once the new of it is over?
The could target the daytime-tv target audience: ill people, students and the unemployed.

The passangers actively using the internet will be able to send real time visual info right before their demise.

I can see the phenomenon now... DeathBlog.
I was going to suggest that Fucked Weblog would be overrun, but FW appears to be.. um.. fucked

I don't think 'sleep' worked out too well for Snow White, with her apple.

Good luck to the ALA!

AOL can't be Slashdotted It's more a case of not wanting to touch something gross, even with gloves on, incase it somehow gets on to you.

Wouldn't a hardware-agnostic OS believe in the inherent unprovability of the hardwares existance?
Cool, never read any of that stuff actually. Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks so.

What amuses me is how the entire /. crowd (apart from Taco ;P) punctuate their sentences well, yet always forget that the Internet is a proper noun...
How long before the clothing is out?
