The $10/mo fee is FCC REGULATED. The cable company has to provide a signal, and, maintain it to FCC STANDARDS so your cable internet will work.
If they wanted to jew you out of more money they increase the INTERNET fee and not the CABLE TRANSPORT fee.
This has nothing to do with price inflation due to cable theives.
This has nothing to do with price inflation due to the customer splitting it off to his graphics card or TV and then complaing why his internet is sporadic, and it sucks, and said customer is a fucking moron for not knowing that its because of his hookup, and the cable company can not control how said connection works.
This has nothing to do jewing you out of more money.
It's dumbfucks like you that don't realize that if you want Internet service you need to pay someone to maintaini the pipeline.
It's dumbfucks like you that probably also would expect a DSL company to not charge you for a phone line (it has to be active for the DSL to work, same way you have to pay a cable company to maintain a cable signal to your house).
It's dumbfucks like you that scourge this earth and I think should be either shot in the head or have your balls cuttoff, so we can do mankind a favor.
You all take a good look at this lump of shit, remember what it looks like. You fuck up in a firefight and I goddamned guarantee you a trip out of the bush - in a body bag! Out here, assholes, you keep the shit wired tight at all times. And that goes for you, shit-for-brains. You don't sleep on no fucking ambush. And the next son'bitch I catch coppin Z's in the bush, I personally am gonna take an interest in seeing them suffer. I shit you not. Doc, tag 'em and bag 'em
Slashdot editor and gay rights advocate Rob Malda, was found dead at his Holland, MI home early Saturday morning. Malda was 54 years old at the time of his death.
Fellow icons in the homosexual community were taken into custody for a grueling 12 hour interrogation as foul play is suspected. Among those were Eric S. Raymond, Alan Cox, and Richard M. Stallman. They were released for the time being but are not allowed to leave the state.
A reporter said he found among the evidence a rusty screwdriver with dried blood and feces on it, and several 18 inch black dildos.

Going back on topic, the whole projector thing would only be any use if you wanted to give both players a hand (unless the game is programmed to be able to turn off the hints for the better player). We'd really need some way of making the projection visable to only one player.
Should be possible. Though it would require wearable computers and IO glasses. You can get yourself an wireless IP and have a central server broadcast the image to your goggles, or to everyones. This is the basic theory anyway - don't get me started on any specs.

After the last presidential election, I don't think we are ready for something like this. If they institute internet voting for this country, I'm packing all my stuff, closing out all my financial accounts and heading to New Zealand.
I think we need machine countable ballots, but also you must highlight your option in case it needs to manually reviewed. This should save us a couple months next time around...
they will be the ones who see the banner for "premium yahoo searches" and say to themselves "hey, it's yahoo, it's premium, it's got to be worth it." I think Yahoo stands to make a great deal of money off of this.
I personally shy away from anything on the internet that uses the word "premium" unless it has to do with cigars. Also the word "content" bothers me, especially when they are both in the same sentance. Yahoo stands to make no money on this.
Who wants to leave the house anyways when you've got plenty of pbr, a decent net connection, and afterall where else can you get free porn and gamble at the same time?
The Washington Post is actually considered a very legitamate newspaper. Remember Woodward and Bernstein? The movie All the president's men chronicles the true events of a couple of post reporters and their dealings with "deep throat" the guy to this day who no one else knows who he is, a source that led them on the trail.
I know this is slightly off topic, but the point in hand is if I hear something from the Washington Post I'm going to hold it in higher regards then say, the New York Post.
Crap, I just defended a slashdot editor, someone mod this down so no one can see it!
Some of the best comics today are produced by Fantagraphics. Not the boring superhero stuff, but more sub-culturish and mature. The artwork of Daniel Clowes is amazing. Rember the Ramones video he did in the 90s?
I enjoy this in print, however if Clowes or Peter Bagge or Bill Griffith were to do an online version, I'd gladly pay.

Yes that would be nice, granted slashdot.org seems to be like a linux.slashdot.org we could request a purple theme.

People such as myself like catching up on reading when we're in the crapper. I want a physical book in my hand when nature calls.
:)
Worst case scenario I accidently drop the book in, and not the laptop

So this is how it is then? Microsoft decides to actually try and fix something and we all have to whine about it?
Who cares if they pick the shortest month. Christ. At least they decide to spend any amount of time on it at all.
lets just hope that tea doesnt spill!

There are two important things we need for domain names.
.foo, .jkfajsk, .fuck.you, .whatever
1) We must be able to put any fucking thing we want, regardless if it's a companies name or not.
2) Top level domains should be anything you want. As in
The only reason it's in the news is that GaTech recently required nearly all students to take one or two introductory CS courses.

And people are complaining about this? No one forced them to go to a technical school or anything
