What are you doing?!? Each one of those persons should get there own front page post on slashdot. You're ruining future "stories".
Unfortunately the W3C's sites seem to be ambiguous about this. However, somewhere it does state that ACRONYM is for pronouncable acronyms and ABBR is for unpronouncable acronyms and abbveviations (although I can't find the link to back this up). They probably could've made this less confusing, but they didn't.
The first thing I thought when I read the headline was "oh great, now somebody from San Andreas wants to sue Take-Two Interactive." I'd have to say that this is much, much better news.
My nForce2 board works quite well under Mandrake 9.1 with a newer kernel installed. I think I'm using the kernel that comes with 9.2. I'm at work and my home machine is offline so I can't check at the moment. I'm even using it with an ATI card (Radeon 7500 AIW), which wasn't previously possible because of some issues with AGPGART, but that all seems to be fixed now.

v. forecast, or forecasted forecasting, forecasts

1. To estimate or calculate in advance, especially to predict (weather conditions) by analysis of meteorological data. See Synonyms at predict.
2. To serve as an advance indication of; foreshadow: price increases that forecast inflation.
Exactly. ICQ queues up messages (or at least it did, I haven't used it in years) on the ICQ servers for people that are offline. When you log back in you get all messages that were sent to you while you were offline. It was quite convenient. However, in the last few years everybody I know that used to use ICQ now uses MSN and so does everybody else I know so that's all I use now, too.
I forget the specifics, I learned this in a gun safety course years ago. Here's a little something that might help (probably not much): http://www.canlii.org/ca/regu/sor98-206/whole.html. You have to notify the officer of the time and place of the transport. I'm not sure how target practising is handled:/
I live in Canada. We've always had licenses for handguns ("restricted firearms"). You aren't allowed to move your handgun to anywhere else but your own home without notifying somebody (I forget who, possibly the police).
Like I said, that's always been in effect (as far as I can remember, I'm 20). However, several years ago gun registration was introduced for all of Canada and we spent lots of money setting up the registration program and now it's basically gone to waste. I haven't heard about it in the last few years.
Exactly. It's like gun registration laws. Obviously you're not going to register your gun if you're going to go kill somebody with it or use it in a crime. At the same time innocent people that use guns to protect there homes, farmers that use guns to protect their animals from coyotes and hunters all have to register their firearms are all paying money just to register their firefarms. They are paying money in order to "protect" everybody when the people they actually need protection from (criminals) aren't paying a damn thing. In addition to that, the government spends stupid amounts of money in setting this like this up instead of spending somewhere useful.
Slashdot Mirror
Well then, expect a new slashdot story on the same subject for Thursday or Friday.
I think I will make a link for litigious bastards in my slashdot journal.. I don't use it for anything else.
Because it's funny?
Everybody needs their daily dose of humour and some people only read slashdot. Some (most? (all?)) don't even make it to the articles.
You're right. It's already fixed in 2.6.1, I tried it and it does nothing, just a blank stare. To be honest though I never tried it in 2.6.0.

Predicting earthquakes is easy. I'd like to see them predict the release date for Doom 3. Then I'll be impressed.
Yeah, and you're lucky if you don't get gas.
Actually, somebody did say it.
Nope.. you're not the only one. I think it's time to go home...

At http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/text.html#edef-A CRONYM where they actually define the standard, they give WWW as an example for ABBR.
Again, I'm just saying it's ambiguous, I'm not trying to start a flamewar.

It's sad, really. That would probably work.
Weee! Another Christmas already?

The thing about P2P is that you can't really control who gets your files.
Well, they could disguise the filename as something nobody would want to download. The Hulk.avi maybe.
Nope. Nobody ever is, it seems :)
Well, I think it would be even better if Sun *paid* me to use Solaris. I mean free is greater, but this would definitely be greater.
From dictionary.com:
Emphasis mine.Yes, they *do* predict.
Maybe they'd save some time if they put all these pages online and simply used Google to look through them all.

Just think of how much money you can make suing people.

DRM is precisely as effective for anti-piracy as the Evil Bit is for security.
Wow, you're giving DRM a lot of credit here. It's too bad nobody implemented the Evil Bit so we could do real comparisons.
