I have claimed worthless stock many times on my tax returns.
Have you ever been audited? The stock I had was not worthless, it was just worth a very small amount. The point is that I still owned it. You cannot claim loss until you actually lose the money which happens when you sell. Just like any other stock. If you buy a stock at $10 and it goes to $.01, you cannot claim a loss unless you sell it (even though it is essentially worthless.) It does not matter how little value it has as long as it has some value and you still own it, you cannot claim it. And if you ever get audited, I am sure they will happily point that out.
Even if they go bankrupt, the stock will still trade for a while at a very low price like $0.00001/share. I had stock in a company that went bankrupt two years ago. At the end of last year, I sold it so I could take the loss on my taxes. The final insult in that one was paying a $65 trade fee to sell 1000 shares that were worth less than 1 cent total. I had no choice. If I wanted to claim it on my taxes I had to sell them.
, but if I'm ever in an accident, I'll make sure that any responders are wearing rubber gloves and boots and if any cutting is done, the roof is the only area they touch
Because if you are in an accident that requires cutting, chances are you won't be making sure of anything.
I have not used Linux in about 9 months. Why? Games.
I gave up Windows completely a year ago (except TurboTax on my wife's laptop.) Guess what? I smoke a hell of a lot less pot and spend at lot less time on the computer overall. Why? Same reason. Games.
thefts at locales like this are often done by people with at least some inside knowledge of the site's security.
I have shopped around for a data center more than once. The people who take you on the tours are so eager for your business (at least nowdays) that they show you just about everything. One company even took me into a place where pretty much all the connectivity in Seattle passes through (a level 3 node or something, I can't recall the name.) This place was secured by two locked doors with no guards and street level access. I have seen plenty more 'security' that would be pretty easy to bypass. If you were a terrorist, it would be pretty damn easy to destroy many of these places.
Did they check for any inband compression? They data they're sending isn't randomised.
Did you just make that up? I googled 'inband compression' and 'in band compression' and got less than 10 hits for each. Anyway the rules state the data must be the same when it reaches the destination and be verified by a checksum and that the data must vary in content.
Slashdot Mirror
For C++ you get 3 hours. For the new Java test, you get all day.
How do they do it?
with lasers
It's pretty long. Please rate on the Slashdot scale where 8 = teh suck, 9 = OK and 10 = good. Thanks.
Or get designed using linux? Or a computer at all? Did any of them battle to the death? What's the relevance here?

Why isn't it zero? I don't get it.

Most of the dotcoms managed by 'cool guys' failed. There was far too much emphasis on 'being cool' than having a realistic business model.
They changed their logo. Now it's just 'Computing'.
If this goes well, they plan to cancel all security projects.
Remember Microsoft Word 5.1 for the Mac? That was MS at her best.
Word to that. (no pun intended)
When longhorn comes out in 2008.
And verify the heisenberg compensators, it could just possibly work. You might need to check out the lateral sensor array though.
That's no city I know, that's tiny
In the US, a city is defined as any incorporated community with a legally defined government. They can be pretty much any size.
I always thought it would be cool to catch one of these asteroids and plunk it into a nice orbit
I'd be pretty scared of anything that could change the moons orbit.

No wonder is been so hot lately. How much does AMD contribute to global warming?
More importantly... does it really require a 160GB hard drive?
That was a typo, it should read '160GB available disk space'.
Actually, I think the hardware requirements suggest at a minimum you should run it on a 4 node beowulf cluster.
Sun is has been going no where fast
I'd say Sun is going no where slow. Just like their products.

You might be able to get one cheap.
Theres no way you're gonna get 840gigs of Necrophilia porn on the internet.
Don't forget, we're talking sunet.se. I used to archie tons of porn off there more than 10 years ago. If anyone's got it, sunet does.

Everything should be instant
I bet you were a little shithead when you were a kid.
